箴言6:20-35



6:20 我兒,要謹守你父親的誡命;不可離棄你母親的法則(或譯:指教),
6:21
要常繫在你心上,掛在你項上。
6:22
你行走,它必引導你;你躺臥,它必保守你;你睡醒,它必與你談論。
6:23
因為誡命是燈,法則(或譯:指教)是光,訓誨的責備是生命的道,
6:24
能保你遠離惡婦,遠離外女諂媚的舌頭。
6:25
你心中不要戀慕她的美色,也不要被她眼皮勾引。
6:26
因為,妓女能使人只剩一塊餅;淫婦獵取人寶貴的生命。
6:27
人若懷裡搋火,衣服豈能不燒呢?
6:28
人若在火炭上走,腳豈能不燙呢?
6:29
親近鄰舍之妻的,也是如此;凡挨近她的,不免受罰。
6:30
賊因飢餓偷竊充飢,人不藐視他,
6:31
若被找著,他必賠還七倍,必將家中所有的盡都償還。
6:32
與婦人行淫的,便是無知;行這事的,必喪掉生命。
6:33
他必受傷損,必被凌辱;他的羞恥不得塗抹。
6:34
因為人的嫉恨成了烈怒,報仇的時候決不留情。
6:35
甚麼贖價,他都不顧;你雖送許多禮物,他也不肯幹休。


20 My son, keep your father’s command
    and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.
21 Bind them always on your heart;

    fasten them around your neck.
22 When you walk, they will guide you;
    when you sleep, they will watch over you;
    when you awake, they will speak to you.
23 For this command is a lamp,
    this teaching is a light,
and correction and instruction
    are the way to life,
24 keeping you from your neighbor’s wife,
    from the smooth talk of a wayward woman.
25 Do not lust in your heart after her beauty
    or let her captivate you with her eyes.
26 For a prostitute can be had for a loaf of bread,
    but another man’s wife preys on your very life.
27 Can a man scoop fire into his lap

    without his clothes being burned?
28 Can a man walk on hot coals
    without his feet being scorched?
29 So is he who sleeps with another man’s wife;
    no one who touches her will go unpunished.
30 People do not despise a thief if he steals
    to satisfy his hunger when he is starving.
31 Yet if he is caught, he must pay sevenfold,
    though it costs him all the wealth of his house.
32 But a man who commits adultery has no sense;
    whoever does so destroys himself.
33 Blows and disgrace are his lot,
    and his shame will never be wiped away.
34 For jealousy arouses a husband’s fury,
    and he will show no mercy when he takes revenge.
35 He will not accept any compensation;

    he will refuse a bribe, however great it is.

    通姦的行為是從人的「性慾」產生的,是對婚姻制度有很大的殺傷力。不僅如此,人還會因為妒忌產生兇殺的事件。所以,人要躲避通姦的行為,避免一些被傷害得事情,好使自己不致得罪上帝和侵犯人。

    然而是出於情慾的事,就像內賊一樣,是無法防範的,必須要有強而有力的提醒,那就是來自父親和母親的教導和提醒,這是上帝賦予我們重要的良心來源。所以,我們要感謝上帝賜下這樣的管道,除了我們受父母照顧外,我們也要協助我們的兒女。因為通姦的行為常常發生於親子關係出了問題的人。

    願上帝幫助我們,讓每個基督徒的家庭,通過家庭教育來防治通姦的行為,使婚姻能保持穩固,使社會安定,減少兇殺的事情。
