14-18節--不能同負一軛

哥林多後書 第6章

這是新約其中一段最措辭強硬的經文，說明基督徒要與世界，以及屬世的生活方式劃清界線；可惜它卻經常被人誤用，成為支持律法主義、甚至是教會或信徒分裂的依據。這種嚴重的誤用確實令人痛心。

但無論如何，它給我們每個基督徒一個嚴肅的提醒。只要我們用得恰當和認真服從，它可以免去許多令人傷痛和糾纏不清的困擾。這段經文雖然經常用在婚姻關係上；但其實，它還可以用在其他層面。任何基督徒若與世界或未信者建立緊密的連繫，就肯定是自尋煩惱。

保羅用了一個簡單的例子來說明這點。「軛」是一副很重的木條，兩端各有一個大環孔，用來套著兩頭牲畜的脖子，讓牠們能並駕齊驅。申命記二十二章10節指出，神禁止人把牛與驢共負一軛來耕地，因為牠們並不相配。

保羅在這?指出，信徒與非信徒之間建立某種緊密的關係是並不相配的。同負一軛意味著長久的關係，在神的眼中，婚姻就是一種長久的關係。因此，基督徒不應與非信徒結合，建立這恆久不渝的關係。

結婚之後，夫婦二人若有一方信主，依據保羅在哥林多前書第七章的教導，是應該繼續維持關係，不該離婚的。

保羅最後還提出一個理由，說明信徒為何不應與未信者結合，那就是：「我們是永生神的殿」(16節)。聖靈住在信徒心中，為的是要帶領信徒愈來愈靠近基督。假若信徒身邊的配偶，是抗拒基督和反對信仰立場的話，試問聖靈怎能帶領他親近主呢？

請記著，順服神和分別為聖，乃是走上蒙福之途的兩塊踏腳石。

THE UNEQUAL YOKE

Here is one of the strongest passages in the New Testament on the separation of a Christian from the world and its lifestyle. Unfortunately it has been too often misused. It has become a basis for legalism or of un-Christlike separation between churches and or individual believers. There are heart-breaking stories of its cruel misuse.

Yet it has a strong message for us. Rightly used and obeyed, it can save many heartaches and continuing problems. This passage is often taken to refer particularly to marriage. It can have other applications as well. Whenever a Christian links himself or herself with the world, or with only unconverted companions, that believer is headed for trouble.

Paul uses a simple analogy to illustrate his point. A yoke is a heavy wooden bar with large loops at each end. It fits round the necks of two animals in such a way that it forces them to act as one. In Deuteronomy 22:10 God forbade the yoking of an ox and an ass. They would be entirely incompatible.

Paul was saying that certain relationships between an unbeliever and a believer will prove incompatible. A yoke tends to be permanent and in Gods sight for example, marriage is to be a permanent relationship. Paul states that a Christian should not enter into a union in which he or she will be permanently bound to a nonbeliever.

Where one partner becomes a Christian after marriage, Paul has already given advice in 1 Corinthians 7: Stay with that partner as long as possible.

Pauls final word states one more reason why there should not be such a union. Verse 16 says, We are the temple of the living God. The Holy Spirit is living within the believer and is seeking to lead that believer closer and closer to Christ. Can He do that if the believer is fellowshipping with those opposed to Christ and all that He stands for?

Remember, obedience and separations are stepping stones on the pathway to Gods blessing.
