《新耶路撒冷教义之生活篇》 第5节

(周玉阳译,2026)

5# 英格兰圣餐礼上向会众宣读的祷文如下:

“蒙悦纳领受这圣桌的途径和方法是:首先,以上帝的诫命为准则,省察你们的生活和行为。无论在何处,你们若察觉自己因意志、言语或行为而得罪了上帝,就当哀恸自己的罪,向全能的上帝认罪,并立志彻底更新生命。你们若察觉自己的过犯不仅得罪了上帝,也得罪了邻舍,就当与他们和好,尽你们所能,为你们对他人所做的一切伤害和错待,预备补偿和满足;同样也要预备饶恕那些得罪你们的人,正如你们盼望上帝饶恕你们的过犯一样。否则,领受圣餐只会加增你们的定罪。因此,你们中间若有亵渎上帝的、阻碍或诽谤祂圣言的、犯奸淫的、或存心恶意嫉妒的、或陷于其他任何重罪的,就当为自己的罪悔改,否则不可来到这圣桌前;恐怕在领受这圣礼之后,魔鬼进入你们里面,如同进入犹大里面,充满你们一切的不义,使你们身体和灵魂都遭毁灭。”

(一滴水译,2022)

  Life5.在英国,人们在靠近圣餐礼之前所念的劝诫词如下:被视为配坐在圣桌前,或配领圣餐的方法和途径是:首先按神诫命的法则检查你的生活和言谈;无论你在哪里发觉自己要么通过意愿和话语,要么通过行为而有所冒犯,就在哪里为自己的罪哀叹,完全出于纠正生活的目的而向全能的神忏悔;你若发觉自己的冒犯不仅得罪神,还得罪邻舍,就要与他们和解,尽最大能力预备为你向别人所造成的一切伤害和错误作出恢复和赔偿,同样准备饶恕冒犯你的其他人,正如你的冒犯在神手里得到饶恕一样;否则,领受圣餐只会增加你的诅咒。因此,你们当中有谁若是亵渎神的人,是祂圣言的阻碍者或毁谤者,是奸淫者,或心怀恶意或嫉妒,或有其它任何严重罪行,就要悔改自己的罪,否则就不要来到这圣桌前;免得参加圣餐礼后,魔鬼进入你,像进入犹大一样,使你充满一切罪孽,给你的身体和灵魂都带来毁灭。

Life (Dole translation 2014) 5

5. The way and means to be received as worthy partakers of that Holy Table [the Holy Supper] is, first, to examine your lives and conversations [dealings with others] by the rule of God's commandments, and wherever you shall perceive yourselves to have offended either by will, word, or deed, there to bewail your own sinfulness, and to confess yourselves to Almighty God, with full purpose of amendment of life; and if you shall perceive your offences to be such as are not only against God, but also against your neighbors, then you shall reconcile yourselves to them, being ready to make restitution and satisfaction according to the utmost of your power, for all injuries and wrongs done by you to any other, and being likewise ready to forgive others that have offended you, as you would have forgiveness of your offences from God's hand; for otherwise the receiving of the Holy Communion does nothing else but increase your damnation. Therefore if any of you be a blasphemer of God, or a hinderer or slanderer of his Word, or an adulterer, or be in malice or envy or in any other grievous crime, repent of your sins, or else do not come to the Holy Table; lest after the taking of that Holy Sacrament the Devil enter into you, as he entered into Judas, and fill you full of all iniquities, and bring you to destruction of both body and soul.

Doctrine of Life (Rogers translation 2014) 5

5. The way and means (to be received as worthy partakers of that Holy Table) is First, to examine your lives and conversations by the rule of God’s commandments and whereinsoever ye shall perceive yourselves to have offended either by will, word, or deed, there to bewail your own sinfulness, and to confess yourselves to Almighty God, with full purpose of amendment of life. And if ye shall perceive your offences to be such as are not only against God, but also against your neighbours, then ye shall reconcile yourselves unto them, being ready to make restitution and satisfaction according to the utmost of your powers, for all injuries and wrongs done by you to any other, and being likewise ready to forgive others that have offended you, as ye would have forgiveness of your offences at God’s hand: for otherwise the receiving of the Holy Communion doth nothing else but increase your condemnation. Therefore, if any of you be a blasphemer of God, an hinderer or slanderer of his Word, an adulterer, or be in malice, or envy, or in any other grievous crime, repent ye of your sins, or else come not to the Holy Table; lest after the taking of that Holy Sacrament the Devil enter into you, as he entered into Judas, and fill you with all iniquities, and bring you to destruction both of body and soul.

Doctrine of Life (Dick translation 1954) 5

5. "The way and means to be received as worthy partakers of that Holy Table is, first, to examine your lives and conversations by the rule of God's commandments, and whereinsoever ye shall perceive yourselves to have offended, either by will, word, or deed, there to bewail your own sinfulness, and to confess yourselves to Almighty God, with full purpose of amendment of life; and if ye shall perceive your offences to be such as are not only against God, but also against your neighbours, then ye shall reconcile yourselves unto them, being ready to make restitution and satisfaction, according to the utmost of your power, for all injuries and wrongs done by you to any other, and being likewise ready to forgive others that have offended you, as ye would have forgiveness of your offences at God's hand; for otherwise the receiving of the Holy Communion doth nothing else but increase your damnation. Therefore if any of you be a blasphemer of God, a hinderer or slanderer of His Word, an adulterer, or be in malice or envy, or in any other grievous crime, repent you of your sins, or else come not to the Holy Table; lest after the taking of that Holy Sacrament the devil enter into you, as he entered into Judas, and fill you full of all iniquities, and bring you to destruction both of body and soul."

6. 1

1. 5 is repeated in Latin as No. 6, which is therefore omitted.

Doctrine of Life (Potts translation 1904) 5

5. The Exhortation read in England before the people who approach the Sacrament of the Supper, is as follows:

The way and means to be received as worthy partakers of that Holy Table is, first, to examine your lives and conversations by the rule of God's commandments; and whereinsoever ye shall perceive yourselves to have offended, either by will, word, or deed, there to bewail your own sinfulness, and to confess yourselves to Almighty God, with full purpose of amendment of life; and if ye shall perceive your offenses to be such as are not only against God, but also against your neighbors, then ye shall reconcile yourselves unto them, being ready to make restitution and satisfaction, according to the uttermost of your powers, for all injuries and wrongs done by you to any other, and being likewise ready to forgive others that have offended you, as ye would have forgiveness of your offenses at God's hand; for otherwise the receiving of the Holy Communion doth nothing else but increase your damnation. Therefore if any of you be a blasphemer of God, a hinderer or slanderer of His Word, an adulterer, or be in malice or envy, or in any other grievous crime, repent you of your sins, or else come not to that Holy Table; lest after the taking of that Holy Sacrament the devil enter into you as he entered into Judas, and fill you full of all iniquities, and bring you to destruction both of body and soul.

Doctrina Vitae pro Nova Hierosolyma 5 (original Latin 1763)

5. "The way and means to de received as worthy partakers of that Holy Table, is, first, to examine your lives and conversations by the rule of God's commandments, and whereinsoever ye shall perceive yourselves to have offended either by will, word or deed, there to bewail your own sinfulness, and to confess yourselves to Almighty God, with full purpose of amendment of life; and if ye shall perceive your offences to be such as are not only against God, but also against your neighbors, then ye shall reconcile yourselves unto them, being ready to make restitution and satisfaction according to the utmost of your powers, for all injuries and wrongs done by you to any other, and being likewise ready to forgive others that have offended you, as ye would have forgiveness of your offences at God's hand, for otherwise the receiving of the Holy Communion doth nothing else but increase your damnation. Therefore if any of you be a blasphemer of God, a hinderer or slanderer of His Word, an adulterer, or be in malice or envy, or in any other grievous crime, repent you of your sins, or else come not to that Holy Table; lest after the taking of that Holy Sacrament the Devil enter into you, as he entered into Judas, and fill you full of all iniquities, and bring you to destruction both of body and soul."
