精华摘录 / Essential Extract
“如果属灵骄傲这病患得到医治，其它事情要纠正就很容易了。我们的要务，应当是纠正内心，把骄傲的梁木从我们眼中除去，然后我们必得清楚看见。”
"If the disease of spiritual pride is cured, correcting other issues becomes much easier. Our primary duty is to correct our hearts, to remove the plank of pride from our eyes, and then we will see clearly."
在我们今天和这个世代盛行，生发错谬的第一和最糟的原因，就是属灵骄傲。
The most prominent and destructive cause of error in our present time and generation is spiritual pride.
它是魔鬼进入那些为尊荣基督大发热心之人内心的大门，是从无底坑中冒出黑烟的主烟道，让人思想昏暗，误导人的判断力。
It is the gateway through which the devil enters the hearts of those who are fervent in honoring Christ. It is the main channel from which the black smoke of the bottomless pit rises, darkening the mind and misleading judgment.
骄傲是魔鬼抓住基督徒的主要把柄，是牠使用的首要源头，引入一切祸害，妨碍拦阻神的工作。
Pride is the devil’s main hold on Christians; it is his primary tool in bringing about all kinds of mischief and hindering the work of God.
属灵骄傲是所有其它错谬的主要源头，至少也是主要的支持。
Spiritual pride is the chief root of all other errors, or at least, their main support.
如果这病得不到治愈，用来医治所有其它疾病的药物都会枉然无效。
If this disease is not cured, no remedy used for other ailments will be effective.
1. 成长中的基督徒要小心！ / Growing Christians Must Be Cautious!
为神的事情最大发热心的人是最容易被人当作靶子，认为他们是充满骄傲。
Those who are most zealous for God's work are the easiest targets for accusations of pride.
但热心的基督徒应当警惕，免得这成为他的网罗，魔鬼乘机弄瞎了他的眼睛，让他看不到他内心的真相。
But zealous Christians must be watchful, lest they fall into Satan's trap—blinding them to their own pride.
2. 骄傲：隐藏的敌人 / Pride: The Hidden Enemy
骄傲是所有罪当中最隐秘的。
Pride is the most deceptive of all sins.
属灵骄傲有许多形状样式，像洋葱一层一层包裹人心。
Spiritual pride takes many forms, like layers of an onion—once you peel away one layer, another is underneath.
3. 骄傲：大大挑别人的错处 / Pride: Constantly Finding Fault in Others
属灵骄傲让人带着笑声、轻浮和蔑视的态度谈论别人的罪。
Spiritual pride makes a person talk about others’ sins with laughter, lightness, and contempt.
但极其谦卑的基督徒自家要做的事是如此之多，以致不轻易忙其他人内心的事。
But a truly humble Christian is so occupied with his own faults that he does not have time to scrutinize others.
4. 骄傲：带着苛刻的心服事 / Pride: Serving with a Harsh Spirit
灵里骄傲的人，习惯用至为苛刻、严厉的话批评别人。
A spiritually proud person often uses harsh and severe language when speaking about the faults of others.
但真正的基督徒谦卑，让人用极大的温柔彼此相待。
A truly humble Christian, however, treats others with great patience and gentleness.
5. 骄傲：装假 / Pride: A Desire to Be Different
属灵骄傲让人有意在外表、言谈和行为上表现得与众不同，以吸引注意。
Spiritual pride often leads people to speak, act, or dress differently just to attract attention.
但真正谦卑的基督徒，不会为了与人不同而刻意与人不同。
A truly humble Christian does not seek to be different for its own sake.
6. 骄傲：轻易被人得罪 / Pride: Easily Offended
属灵骄傲的人容易因反对和伤害而心怀不满。
A spiritually proud person is easily offended by opposition and criticism.
但真正谦卑的基督徒会默默忍受，被辱骂时仍像基督一样温柔。
A truly humble Christian endures mistreatment with quietness, just as Christ did when reviled.
7. 骄傲：在神在人面前自以为是 / Pride: Self-Confidence Before God and Others
"当存畏惧事奉耶和华，又当存战兢而快乐。"（诗篇2:11）
"Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling." (Psalm 2:11)
属灵骄傲的人在神面前缺少敬畏。
A spiritually proud person lacks reverence before God.
8. 骄傲：渴望得到别人的关注 / Pride: Craving Attention
属灵骄傲让人渴望得到别人的关注和尊重。
Spiritual pride seeks recognition and honor from others.
真正谦卑的基督徒，不寻求荣耀自己，而是尊荣他人。
A truly humble Christian does not seek to glorify himself but desires to honor others.
9. 骄傲：忽视其他人 / Pride: Ignoring Others
属灵骄傲让人对自己大大自以为是，同时忽视其他人。
Just as spiritual pride makes a person think too highly of themselves, it also makes them ignore others.
但真正谦卑的基督徒，会尊荣所有的人。（彼得前书2:17）
A truly humble Christian, however, honors all people. (1 Peter 2:17)
结论 / Final Thoughts
"如果属灵骄傲这病患得到医治，其它事情要纠正就很容易了。"
"If the disease of spiritual pride is cured, correcting other issues becomes much easier."
愿神帮助我们远离属灵骄傲，行在真正的谦卑中！
May God help us to guard against spiritual pride and walk in true humility before Him!
