约翰福音-John 17章15 -16 节
| 17:15 |
我不求你使他们离开世界，只求你保守他们脱离那恶者。 I do not ask that You would take them out of the world, but that You would keep them out of the hands of the evil one. |
| 17:16 |
他们不属世界，正如我不属世界一样。 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. |
Enlightenment:
First John 5:19 says that the whole world lies in the evil one. The evil one is the devil, and the world is an evil system arranged systematically and ruled by the devil, Satan (John 12:31). Satan has systematized all the things on earth, especially those related to mankind, and the things in the air into his kingdom of darkness to possess people, to distract them from the enjoyment of God, and to frustrate them from fulfilling God’s purpose. Every aspect of the world, regardless of what it is, belongs to this satanic system. Since the whole world lies in the evil one, the believers must be kept from the evil one (v. 15), and they need to pray to be delivered from the evil one (Matt. 6:13).
亮光
约壹五章十九节说，整个世界都卧在那恶者里面。那恶者就是魔鬼，这世界是一个邪恶的系统，是撒但系统化的安排，为撒但所统治。（约十二31。）撒但已把地上一切的事物，特别是那些与人类有关的，以及空中的事物，都系统化成为他黑暗的国度，为要霸占人，打岔人对神的享受，并阻挠人，不让人成全神的定旨。世界的每一方面，无论是甚么，都属于这撒但的系统。既然整个世界都卧在那恶者里面，信徒就必须蒙保守，脱离那恶者；（约十七15；）并且他们需要祷告，使他们得蒙拯救，脱离那恶者。 （太六13。）
