2026-05-06当然可以。下面是按照你一直使用的格式整理的版本:中文—英文逐句对照(ESL水平),并采用改革宗(Reformed)的角度,引用经文采用中文和合本与NCV(New Century Version)。
真正的信仰,就是不断归正自己
True Faith Means Continually Reforming Ourselves
一、开车需要不断修正方向
I. Driving Requires Constant Correction
就像开车一样,我们必须不断微调方向盘,才能保持在正确的道路上。
Just like driving a car, we must continually make small adjustments to the steering wheel in order to stay on the right road.
即使只是轻微偏离,如果长时间不修正,最终也可能偏离目的地很远。
Even a small deviation, if left uncorrected for a long time, can eventually lead us far away from our destination.
人生如此,信仰更是如此。
This is true in life, and it is even more true in our faith.
二、真正的信仰,不是坚持自己的观点
II. True Faith Is Not Holding Firmly to Our Own Opinions
真正的信仰,不是坚持自己的观点。
True faith is not stubbornly holding on to our own opinions.
真正的信仰,是不断让神的话语修正我们的思想。
True faith is continually allowing God's Word to correct our thinking.
不是让圣经符合我们的想法。
It is not making the Bible fit our own ideas.
而是让我们的思想符合圣经。
It is allowing our minds to conform to the Bible.
罗马书 12:2
不要效法这个世界,只要心意更新而变化,叫你们察验何为神的善良、纯全、可喜悦的旨意。
Do not change yourselves to be like the people of this world, but let God change you inside with a new way of thinking. Then you will be able to understand and accept what God wants for you. You will know what is good and pleasing to him and what is perfect. (Romans 12:2, NCV)
简要说明
这里保罗不是叫我们改变圣经。
Paul is not telling us to change the Bible.
而是叫我们被神的话不断更新。
Instead, he tells us to be continually renewed by God's Word.
归正首先不是改变别人,而是改变自己。
Reformation begins not by changing others, but by allowing ourselves to be changed.
三、改革宗为什么叫"归正宗"
III. Why Is It Called the Reformed Faith?
"归正"并不是一种宗派口号。
"Reformed" is not merely the name of a denomination.
而是不断回到圣经。
It means continually returning to Scripture.
不断回到神的话语。
It means continually returning to God's Word.
不断接受圣经的纠正。
It means continually allowing Scripture to correct us.
宗教改革有一句非常著名的话:
The Protestant Reformation has a famous saying:
Ecclesia Reformata, Semper Reformanda
"已经归正的教会,仍然要不断归正。"
"The church reformed, always being reformed."
这句话真正的意思是:
The true meaning is:
不是改变圣经。
Not changing Scripture.
而是不断按照圣经归正自己。
But continually reforming ourselves according to Scripture.
四、圣经才是最高权威
IV. Scripture Alone Is the Highest Authority
没有任何牧师。
No pastor.
没有任何神学家。
No theologian.
没有任何宗派。
No denomination.
能够代替圣经。
Can replace Scripture.
唯有圣经,是信仰最终的标准。
Only Scripture is the final authority for faith.
提摩太后书 3:16-17
