7:1 我兒,你要遵守我的言語,將我的命令存記在心。
7:2 遵守我的命令就得存活;保守我的法則(或譯:指教),好像保守眼中的瞳人,
7:3 繫在你指頭上,刻在你心版上。
7:4 對智慧說:你是我的姊妹,稱呼聰明為你的親人,
7:5 她就保你遠離淫婦,遠離說諂媚話的外女。

My son, keep my words
and store up my commands within you.
2 Keep my commands and you will live;
guard my teachings as the apple of your eye.
3 Bind them on your fingers;
write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,”
and to insight, “You are my relative.”
5 They will keep you from the adulterous woman,
from the wayward woman with her seductive words.
and store up my commands within you.

5 They will keep you from the adulterous woman,
from the wayward woman with her seductive words.
*****************
通姦的行為產生通常是受到引誘,因為人是受到情慾影響至深,甚至於被情慾來駕馭。之所以會有這種扭曲的現象,是因為罪的緣故,而罪就藉由情慾來控制人,正如雅各書1章14-15節:「但各人被試探,乃是被自己的私慾牽引誘惑的。私慾既懷了胎,就生出罪來;罪既長成,就生出死來。」
如何能勝過情慾的轄制,就是要靠上帝的話語,並且堅守聖經的命令。而能夠如此,不是靠自己的持守,而是要靠聖靈的工作。因為聖靈將耶穌基督復活的大能展現在我們的生命中,使我們脫離罪與死,賜給我們真正的智慧,使我們可以勝過罪藉由情慾來轄制我們。
而聖靈的工作不僅使我們得重生,並且將上帝的律法刻在我們的新版上,使我們從心裡來遵行上帝的律法,尊上帝為大!
