来自巴克斯特基督徒伦理学的属灵、牧养、实用建议。
A balanced, positive presentation relevant to today’s situation.
与今日情况相关的平衡、积极的陈述。
As in other cases, so in this, iniquity consisteth not simply in the heart’s neglect of God, but in the preferring of some competitor, and prevalence of some object which standeth up for an opposite interest.
如同在其他情况中一样，在这里，罪恶不仅仅在于心灵对神的忽视，而在于偏爱某个竞争者，和某个为相反利益而立的对象的盛行。
And so the obeying man before God and against him, and the valuing the favour and approbation of man before or against the approbation of God, and the fearing of man’s censure or displeasure more than God’s, is an idolizing man, or setting him up in the place of God.
因此，在神面前并违背祂而顺从人，看重人的恩惠和赞许超过或违背神的赞许，害怕人的责难或不悦超过神的，就是偶像化人，或把他立在神的位置上。
It turneth our chiefest observance, and care, and labour, and pleasure, and grief into this human fleshly channel, and maketh all that to be but human in our hearts and lives, which (objectively) should be divine.
它把我们最主要的遵守、关心、劳力、喜悦和忧伤转入这人性肉体的渠道，使我们心中和生命中所有（客观上）应该是神圣的，都变成仅仅是人性的。
Which is so great and dangerous a sin, partaking of so much impiety, hypocrisy, and pride, as that it deserveth a special place in my directions, and in all watchfulness and consideration to escape it.
这是如此重大和危险的罪，参与了如此多的不敬虔、伪善和骄傲，以致在我的指导中，在所有的警醒和考虑中逃避它，都值得特别的地位。
As all other creatures, so especially man, must be regarded and valued only in a due subordination and subserviency to God.
如同所有其他受造物一样，特别是人，必须只在对神应有的从属和服务中被看待和重视。
If they be valued otherwise, they are made his enemies, and so are to be hated, and are made the principal engine of the ruin of such as overvalue them.
如果他们被以其他方式重视，他们就成为祂的敌人，因此要被恨恶，并成为毁灭那些过度重视他们之人的主要工具。
