家务责任与工作态度（旧文整理 07） / Household Duty and Work (Archive 07)
2026-03-19但是，如果他仍然住在父母家，接受父母供应饮食、住房、水电、网络、保险等，他仍然处于一种家庭关系中。
However, if he still lives at home and receives food, housing, utilities, internet, insurance, and other support from his parents, he is still living within a family relationship.
因此：
他仍应尊重父母。
He should still honor his parents.
主动承担家务。
He should willingly help with household responsibilities.
减轻父母负担。
He should lighten his parents' burdens.
而不是把这一切视为理所当然。
He should not treat these blessings as something automatically owed to him.
圣经中的榜样
Biblical Examples
约瑟
年轻时就在家放羊。
Joseph worked while he was still young.
后来在波提乏家忠心管理事务。
Later he faithfully managed Potiphar's household.
进入监狱以后仍认真工作。
Even in prison he served faithfully.
最后治理整个埃及。
Finally he governed all Egypt.
约瑟没有因为年轻就逃避责任。
Joseph never used his youth as an excuse to avoid responsibility.
耶稣
路加福音告诉我们：
Luke tells us:
少年耶稣顺从父母。
Jesus was obedient to His parents.
直到三十岁左右开始公开事奉。
He began His public ministry at about thirty years of age.
改革宗一直认为：
The Reformed tradition has long understood that:
耶稣在拿撒勒多年顺服父母、勤劳生活，并非浪费时间，而是在完全遵行第五诫，为我们成全律法。
Jesus' years of obedient and faithful life in Nazareth were not wasted. They were part of His perfect obedience to the Fifth Commandment on our behalf.
今日反思
Reflection
请问自己：
Ask yourself:
我是否真正感谢父母？
Do I truly thank my parents?
我是否把父母的付出当作理所当然？
Do I take my parents' sacrifices for granted?
如果我仍然住在家里，我有没有主动承担责任？
If I still live at home, do I willingly take responsibility?
我的生活有没有荣耀神？
Does my way of living honor God?
家庭讨论
Family Discussion
1.
为什么神把父母比作一切权柄的代表？
Why does God use parents to represent all authority?
2.
成年以后，"孝敬父母"应当有哪些实际表现？
What practical ways can adults honor their parents?
3.
如果一个成年人长期住在父母家，却不愿做家务、不愿工作，这是否符合第五诫的精神？为什么？
If an adult lives with parents but refuses to work or help at home, does that reflect the spirit of the Fifth Commandment? Why or why not?
下一课，我们将进入WLC 第127问——儿女（以及一切处于权柄之下的人）的责任。这一问是整个《大要理问答》中关于家庭责任最重要的内容之一，也与你提出的家庭情况最直接相关。届时我会结合圣经和改革宗传统，详细说明儿女应当如何以实际行动尊荣父母，以及父母应如何以智慧引导成年子女承担责任。
