又說：你若留意聽耶和華 ─ 你 神的話，又行我眼中看為正的事，留心聽我的誡命，守我一切的律例，我就不將所加與埃及人的疾病加在你身上，因為我 ─ 耶和華是醫治你的。
saying, "If you will diligently listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and do that which is right in his eyes, and give ear to his commandments and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you that I put on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, your healer."
*************
說到上帝是醫治者，講求靈恩醫治的人馬上會說：「你看聖經都這樣說了，你們為甚麼要批判『上帝醫治』這件事呢？你們為什麼不相信上帝會透過我們的禱告使人得醫治呢？」
你們這些淫亂的人（原文是淫婦）哪，豈不知與世俗為友，就是與神為敵嗎？所以凡想要與世俗為友的，就是與神為敵了。
You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
*****************
所謂「淫亂」不是好色的問題，而是忠誠度的問題。是對於婚姻的盟約不忠誠，破壞了合宜的關係。同樣人對上帝的關係，本來就是要專一，若是不專一，就是信仰上的「淫亂」。
3:17你說：我是富足，已經發了財，一樣都不缺；卻不知道你是那困苦、可憐、貧窮、瞎眼、赤身的。
3:18我勸你向我買火煉的金子，叫你富足；又買白衣穿上，叫你赤身的羞恥不露出來；又買眼藥擦你的眼睛，使你能看見。
3:19凡我所疼愛的，我就責備管教他；所以你要發熱心，也要悔改。
For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see. Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent.
************
人不要誇口說驕傲的話，也不要出狂妄的言語；因耶和華是大有智識的 神，人的行為被他衡量。
Talk no more so very proudly,
let not arrogance come from your mouth;
for the Lord is a God of knowledge,
and by him actions are weighed.
凡不背著自己十字架跟從我的，也不能作我的門徒。
Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.
**************
一個人信了主耶穌，成為主耶穌的門徒之後，附帶要面對的問題是有的，不是因為你信了以後，就完全沒有問題。首先，要面對的就是與未信的家人和朋友，他們不理解、不知道你所信的。這之間的關係的調整，是你要面對的，這就是你的十字架。
113:5 誰像耶和華我們的神呢？他坐在至高之處，
113:6 自己謙卑，觀看天上地下的事。
Who is like the Lord our God,
who is seated on high,
who looks far down
on the heavens and the earth?
1:22 又將萬有服在他的腳下，使他為教會作萬有之首──
1:23 教會是他的身體，是那充滿萬有者所充滿的。
And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.

我只怕你們的心或偏於邪，失去那向基督所存純一清潔的心，就像蛇用詭詐誘惑了夏娃一樣。
But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ.
************
保羅在此警告我們：『只怕你們的心或偏於邪，失去那向基督所存純一清潔的心。』
保羅這樣的警告，是要我們正視：我們還是處於有罪的世界、我們還尚未完全脫離罪、我們的原本贊同罪的心仍然還存在。也就是說，我們雖然信了主耶穌，接受了祂的救恩，我們還是處於罪的狀態，仍然會受罪影響。
