2:6 又判定所多瑪、蛾摩拉,將二城傾覆,焚燒成灰,作為後世不敬虔人的鑑戒;
2:7 只搭救了那常為惡人淫行憂傷的義人羅得。
2:8 (因為那義人住在他們中間,看見聽見他們不法的事,他的義心就天天傷痛。)
2:9 主知道搭救敬虔的人脫離試探,把不義的人留在刑罰之下,等候審判的日子。
2:10 那些隨肉身、縱污穢的情慾、輕慢主治之人的,更是如此。他們膽大任性,毀謗在尊位的,也不知懼怕。
2:11 就是天使,雖然力量權能更大,還不用毀謗的話在主面前告他們。
if
he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and
made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; and if he
rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the depraved conduct of the
lawless
8
(for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his
righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)— if this is so, then the
Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for
punishment on the day of judgment. This is especially true of those who follow
the corrupt desire of the flesh and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, they
are not afraid to heap abuse on celestial beings; yet even angels, although
they are stronger and more powerful, do not heap abuse on such beings when
bringing judgment on them from the Lord.

屬上帝和抵擋上帝的人的差別在於對上帝的敬畏,也因為如此,對罪的敏感度不同。敬畏上帝的人會為罪惡的事情感到憂傷,不管事自己或別人犯罪;而不敬畏上帝的人,反倒是膽大妄為,不會為自己或別人的最憂傷,反倒鼓勵別人要挑戰上帝的權威。
所以,我們要確認真、假教師,可以透過他們對罪的態度可以分辨出來,也可以防範他們的教導是否符合上帝的心意。真的從上帝那裏來的,之到上帝對罪是恨惡、是排斥,所以會教導人要認罪,要悔改,要靠耶穌基督的恩典。不是從上帝那裏來的,會強調不要有罪惡感,不用認罪,為自己而活,不必靠耶穌基督的恩典,靠自己的努力或意志就可以勝過罪惡。
因此,我們要小心那假教師的教導,讓人覺得自己好像很棒,凡事都能,那就有問題。我們能不是自己能,是因為有耶穌的拯救與上帝的恩典。
