利未记生命读经 · 第39篇

从人里面发出的不洁（一）

Uncleanness Issuing from within Man (1)
1读经：利未记十三章二至二十八节。
1Scripture Reading: Lev. 13:2-28
2在利未记十一章，我们看见我们需要在饮食上有分别，就是在吃的事上有分别；这就是说，我们必须谨慎我们所接触并接受的。在十二章，我们看见人类的出生牵涉不洁，因此我们生来就是不洁。现今在十三
2In Leviticus 11 we see that we need discernment in diet, discernment in eating; that is, we must be careful in what we contact and receive. In chapter twelve we see that human birth involves uncleanness, for we were born uncleanness. Now in chapter thirteen we come to the matter of leprosy
3章，我们来看痲疯这件事。
3
4饮食上的分别关系到我们在外面该接触甚么，从外面该接受甚么。然而，我们在不洁里的出生，与外面所接触的无关，乃与里面的所是有关。我们从出生起就是不洁，这不洁是我们内在的东西。我们生来就是罪人。我们不是因著犯罪，或从外面接受一些事物，使我们的性情或构成有所改变，而成为罪人。不是。我们从出生起就是罪人。不管我们所接触的是洁净的，还是不洁净的，我们都是罪人。我们是罪人，这与我们外面所接触的无关，这是我们出生的事。痲疯是很难分析的。可以说，痲疯来自人的外面，是由痲疯病毒进入人里面而引起；也可以说，痲疯来自人的里面，因为除非痲疯的毒素进到人里面，引起这疾病，不然是不会长出痲疯来的。所以，痲疯是由外在的因素加上内在的作用所引起。起因是来自外面，但作用是在里面。
4Discernment in diet concerns what we should contact outwardly and what we should receive from the outside. Our birth in uncleanness, on the contrary, concerns not what we contact outwardly but what we are inwardly. We are uncleanness by birth. This uncleanness is something within us. We were born sinners. We did not become sinners by doing something sinful or by receiving something from outside of us that caused us to be changed in our disposition or in our constitution. No, we are sinners by birth. Whether we contact something clean or unclean, we are still sinners. Being a sinner has nothing to do with what we contact outwardly; rather, being a sinner is a matter of our birth. It is difficult to analyze leprosy. We may say that leprosy originates from outside a person, that it is caused by the entering into a person of the germs of leprosy. We may also say that leprosy comes from within, since a person cannot develop leprosy unless the element of leprosy enters into his being to give rise to this disease. Leprosy, therefore, comprises both an outside factor and an inward effect. The cause is from the outside, but the effect is inward
5我们需要思想三件事：饮食上的分别、人类出生连同这出生的不洁、以及痲疯。这三件事包括我们所有的难处，而我们要过圣别的生活，与这些事非常有关系，我们需要问问自己，关于我们所接触的，关于我们的出生，关于痲疯及其外面的因素和里面的作用，我们的光景是如何？我们若无法解决这些难处，就不可能过圣别的生活。我们若是接触错误的事物，我们若是生来就是不洁的人，我们若有使我们患痲疯的外在因素和内在作用，我们怎能过圣别的生活？那是不可能的。痲疯患者能过圣别的生活么？当然不能！为著过圣别的生活，我们必须对付我们与事物的接触，对付我们的出生，并对付我们痲疯的光景。壹痲疯表征从人里面发出来
5We need to consider three things: discernment in diet, human birth with its uncleanness, and leprosy. These three matters cover all our problems, and our living of a holy life has much to do with them. We need to ask ourselves about what we contact, about our birth, and about leprosy with its outward factor and inward effect. If we cannot solve the problems we have related to these things, it will be impossible for us to live a holy life. How can we live a holy life if we contact the wrong things, if we are persons born uncleanness, and if we are subject to an outward factor and an inward effect that make us leprous? It would be impossible. Can a leper live a holy life? Certainly not! In order to live a holy life, we must deal with our contact with things, with our birth, and with our leprous condition. I. LEPROSY SIGNIFYING THE SERIOUS SIN
严重的罪
ISSUING FROM WITHIN MAN
6痲疯（利十三2）表征从人里面发出来严重的罪，就如明知故犯、任意妄为、定意顶撞神的罪。（参米利暗－民十二1～10；基哈西－王下五20～27；乌西雅－代下二六16～21。）
6Leprosy (v. 2b) signifies the serious sin issuing from within man, such as willful sin, presumptuous sin, and opposing God with determination (cf. Miriam—Num. 12:1-10; Gehazi—2 Kings 5:20-27; and Uzziah—2 Chron. 26:16-21
7痲疯实际上不是从人里面开始，乃是从外面开始，是因著某种病毒的侵入，然后从里面生发出来，就如旧约的三个事例－米利暗、基哈西和乌西雅－所说明的。痲疯总是来自背叛。米利暗背叛作神代表权柄的摩西。她背叛是有原因的，就是摩西娶了古实女子为妻。（民十二1。）米利暗因著背叛，就长了痲疯。（民十二10。）她的痲疯来自她的背叛。在王下五章二十至二十七节，以利沙的仆人基哈西背叛以利沙行事的法则。以利沙不愿从痲疯得医治的外邦人乃缦接受任何东西作赏报。基哈西却从那得洁净之痲疯患者接受礼物；之后，乃缦的痲疯就转到他身上。基哈西因著背叛也成了患痲疯的。
7Leprosy does not actually begin from within a person; it begins from without, with some kind of germs or bacteria that get into a person’s being. Then the leprosy issues from within one’s being, as illustrated by three Old Testament cases—the cases of Miriam, Gehazi, and Uzziah. Leprosy always comes from rebellion. Miriam rebelled against Moses, who was God’s deputy authority. Her rebellion had a cause, and the cause was Moses’ marrying a Cushite woman (Num. 12:1). As the result of her rebellion, Miriam became leprous (v. 10). Her leprosy came from her rebellion. In 2 Kings 5:20-27 Gehazi, the servant of Elisha, rebelled against Elisha’s practices. Elisha would not receive anything as a reward from Naaman, a Gentile who was healed of leprosy. After Gehazi received gifts from the cleansed leper, Naaman’s leprosy was transferred to him. Gehazi also became leprous because of rebellion
8在代下二十六章十六至二十一节，乌西雅王背叛神关于祭司职任的条例。按照这条例，君王不能有分于祭司的职任。但乌西雅背叛这条例，结果就成了患痲疯的。在这三个事例中，每一次都是先有痲疯进到背叛的人里面，然后从那人里面生发出来。按照旧约，痲疯是某种起因的结果，那种起因就是背叛神的权柄、神的代表权柄、神的法则和神的经纶。我们都必须承认，我们曾背叛过神的权柄，背叛过祂的代表权柄。不仅如此，我们常常背叛神的法则。末了，我们也背叛过神整个的经纶。所以，在神眼中，我们都成了患痲疯的。痲疯进到我们里面，然后从我们里面生发出来。
8In 2 Chronicles 26:16-21 King Uzziah rebelled against God’s regulation concerning the priesthood. According to this regulation, the king could not participate in the priesthood. But Uzziah rebelled against this regulation, and as a result of his rebellion he became leprous. In each of these three cases, the leprosy first entered into the rebellious one and then issued from within that one. According to the Old Testament, leprosy is the outcome of a certain cause, and that cause is rebellion against God’s authority, against God’s deputy authority, against God’s regulation, and against God’secon o my. We all must admit that we have rebelled against God’s authority and against His deputy authority. Furthermore, we have often rebelled against God’s regulation. Finally, we have also rebelled against God’s entire economy. Therefore, in God’s e yes we all became leprous. Leprosy entered into us and then issued forth from within us.
9痲疯是罪。在圣经中，罪的头一个事例乃是撒但的背叛。撒但背叛神，那个背叛成了现今在宇宙中的罪。在撒但背叛以前，没有罪这样一个东西。罪不是创造出来的，乃是由背叛的天使长路西弗生发出来的。罪实际上就是痲疯。罪在圣经里的意义就是背叛。所以，罪是背叛神，背叛神的代表权柄，背叛神的计画、安排、管理和行政。整体的说，罪就是背叛神的经纶。这背叛是由撒但自己生发，发起的。至终，罪来到人类中间。『这就如罪是藉著一人入了世界。』（罗五12上。）这罪，痲疯，既进到人里面，就从人里面发出。结果，我们都是患痲疯的。每当我们作了背叛神的事，这事就是痲疯。由此我们看见罪是痲疯。痲疯表征罪。
9Leprosy is sin. In the Bible the first case of sin was Satan’s rebellion. Satan rebelled against God, and that rebellion became the sin that is now in the universe. Before Satan’s rebellion there was not such a thing as sin. Sin was invented, not created, by the rebellious archangel Lucifer. Sin is actually leprosy. The denotation of sin in the biblical sense is rebellion. Sin, therefore, is rebellion against God, against God’s representative, or deputy, authority, and against God’s plan, arrangement, government, and administration. As a whole, sin is rebellion against God’secon o my. This rebellion was invented, inaugurated, by Satan himself. Eventually, sin came into mankind. “Through one man sin entered into the world” (Rom. 5:12a). Having entered into man, this sin, this leprosy, now issues from within man. As a result, we are leprous. Whenever we do something against God, that thing is leprous. From this we can see that sin is a matter of leprosy. Leprosy signifies sin
10主耶稣在山上颁布了诸天之国的宪法，下山后作的头一件事，就是洁净患痲疯的。（太八1～4。）这患痲疯者代表亚当堕落的子孙，亚当所有堕落的子孙都是患痲疯的。撒但所生发的罪，藉著亚当进到人类里面，使我们都成了患痲疯的。现今，痲疯产生了许多不同的罪行，就是那许多显出、表显出来的背叛。贰人在他肉皮上肿（隆）起来，
10When the Lord Jesus came down from the mountain where He decreed the constitution of the kingdom of the heavens, the first thing He did was cleanse a leper (Matt. 8:1-4). This leper represents the fallen descendants of Adam, all of whom are lepers. The sin that was invented by Satan entered into mankind through Adam and made us all lepers. Leprosy now issues in many different kinds of sins, that is, in many expressions, manifestations, of rebellion. II. A SWELLING (RISING), AN ERUPTION, OR A
或是发出东西，或是有了火斑
BRIGHT SPOT ON THE SKIN OF ONE’S FLESH
11人在他肉皮上肿（隆）起来，或是发出东西，或是有了火斑，（利十三2上，）表征人外面显出任性、与人不合、骄傲和高举自己。在人肉皮上的肿胀、发出东西、火斑，都是患痲疯的征兆。就属灵一面说，这些指明任性，不法。任性是从里面发出的一种东西。任性的人就是不受任何管治的人。
11A swelling (rising), an eruption, or a bright spot on the skin of one’s flesh (Lev. 13:2a) signifies man’so ut ward expressions in unruliness, in friction with others, and in pride and self-exaltation. Swellings, eruptions, and bright spots on the skin of one’s flesh are signs of leprosy. Spiritually speaking, these indicate unruliness, lawlessness. Unruliness is a kind of eruption. An unruly person is one who is not under any ruling
12与人不合也指明痲疯。我们不该以为与弟兄不合是小事。不合也是生发的东西，指明痲疯正从一个人里面出来。骄傲和高举自己，也是一样。这些都是症状，征兆，表明人患了痲疯。
12Friction with others also indicates leprosy. We should not think that friction between brothers is insignificant. Friction is an eruption which indicates that leprosy is issuing from within a person. The same is true of pride and self-exaltation. All these are symptoms, signs, that one is leprous.
13参带到祭司那里察看，并关
13III. BEING BROUGHT TO THE PRIEST, BEING EXAMINED BY HIM, AND BEING SHUT UP (ISOLATED) FOR SEVEN DAYS
闭（隔离）七天
14带到祭司那里察看，并关闭（隔离）七天，（利十三2下～28，）表征把这样的患者一面带到主面前，一面带到事奉神的人那里，由他们来察看；并且在一个完整的时期内，使他们不与别人接触。主耶稣和那些事奉神的人，就是事奉的祭司，都有资格来察看，以断定那人是否患了痲疯。
14Being brought to the priest, being examined by him, and being shut up (isolated) for seven days (vv. 2c-28) signify being brought, on the one hand, to the Lord and, on the other hand, to one who serves God, being examined by them, and being kept from contact with others for a complete course of time. The Lord Jesus and those who serve God, the serving priests, are qualified to examine one to determine whether or not he has leprosy
肆 痲疯的现象
IV. THE APPEARANCE OF LEPROSY
15痲疯的现象就是痲疯的本质。我们在这一章所看到关于痲疯的现象，乃是神圣的诊断，神圣的医药。
15Let us now consider the appearance of leprosy. The appearance of leprosy is the substance of leprosy. What we have in this chapter concerning the appearance of leprosy is the divine diagnosis, the divine medicine
一 毛变白
A. The Hair Turning White
16毛变白，（利十三3上，）表征行事的能力，过正常生活的能力衰退。以色列人的头发是黑色的。以色列人的黑发变白，就是衰弱的征兆，指明有了疾病。二病深于肉皮三节下半说到病深于肉皮。首先有东西发出，然后病深于肉皮。这表征人的行为有了过失，但他存心掩饰，不肯承认。三肉皮上的火斑变白，但现象不深于皮，其上的毛也没有变白
16The hair turning white (v. 3a) signifies that the strength for behavior, the strength to live a normal life, is deteriorating. The Israelites had dark hair. For the dark hair of an Israelite to turn white was a sign that one was weakening. It indicated the presence of disease. B. The Disease Being Deeper Than the Skin of the Flesh Verse 3b speaks of the disease being deeper than the skin. First, there is an eruption and then the disease sinks deeper than the skin of the flesh. This signifies that one’s wrong behavior is covered and is not confessed. C. The Bright Spot in the Skin of the Flesh Becoming White, Not Appearing to Be Deeper Than the Skin
and the Hair in It Having Not Turned White
17四节上半说到人肉皮上的火斑是白的，现象不深于皮，其上的毛也没有变白。这是好的征兆，好的症状，不是痲疯的征兆，因为这表征人的行为有了过失，但他已经承认，没有掩饰，并且他行事的能力没有衰退。四患病的地方已经发暗，病没有
17Verse 4a speaks of the bright spot in the skin of one’s flesh being white and not appearing to be deeper than the skin, and of the hair in it not having turned white. These are good signs, good symptoms, not signs of leprosy, for they signify that one’s wrong behavior is confessed, not covered, and that his strength for behavior has not deteriorated. D. The Diseased Spot Having Faded and the
在皮上发散
Disease Having Not Spread in the Skin
18六节说，『第七天祭司要再察看他，患病的地方若已经发暗，这病也没有在皮上发散，祭司就要定他为洁净，所发出来的原是无害的。』患病的地方已经变暗，病没有在皮上发散，表征人的软弱，藉著基督在他里面用恩典作恢复的工作，已经被生命吞灭。这样的人已经得了医治，得了恢复。五若皮上有白白的肿（隆）起之处，使毛变白，并且在肿起的地方露出新肉，这是肉皮上长期的痲疯『祭司要察看他；若皮上有白白的肿起之处，使毛变白，并且在肿起的地方露出新肉，这是他肉皮上长期的痲疯，祭司要定他为不洁净，不用把他隔离，因为他已经不洁净。』（利十三10～11。）这表征旧有的罪，因著行事能力的软弱，又回来了。六痲疯若在皮上四外发散，从头到脚布满全身的皮，并且全身的皮都已经变白，患痲疯的人就洁净了
18Leviticus 13:6 says, “On the seventh day the priest shall examine him again; and if the diseased spot has faded, and the disease has not spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean; it is a harmless eruption.” The diseased spot having faded and the disease having not spread in the skin signify that one’s weakness has been swallowed up by life through Christ’s recovery work in him with grace. Such a person has been healed, recovered. E. If the Skin Has a White Swelling (Rising) and It Has Turned the Hair White, and There Is an Emergence of Raw Flesh in the Swelling, It Is a Chronic Leprosy in the Skin of the Flesh “The priest shall examine him, and if there is a white swelling in the skin and it has turned the hair white, and there is an emergence of raw flesh in the swelling, it is a chronic leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean; he shall not isolate him, for he is unclean” (vv. 10-11). This signifies that the old sin has come back again through the weakness of the strength for behavior. F. If the Leprosy Breaks Out Farther in the Skin and Covers All the Skin from Head to Foot, and All the Skin Has Turned White, the One with Leprosy Is Clean
19『痲疯若在皮上四外发散，布满了患病者全身的皮，就祭司所能看到的，从头到脚都有，祭司就要察看，若是痲疯已经布满他全身的肉，就要定那患病的人为洁净，全身既然都已经变白，他就洁净了。』（利十三12～13。）这表征一个满身是罪，肯在神面前承认的人是洁净的。这与我们的见解相反。按照这里的豫表，一个满身是罪，绝对有罪的人，若不掩饰他的罪，而在神面前彻底认罪，他就要得著赦免和洁净。然而，那不愿意被暴露，隐藏自己的，就仍是患痲疯的。隐藏自己以及掩饰自己的罪，乃是痲疯的征兆。
19If the leprosy breaks out farther in the skin, and the leprosy covers all the skin of him who has the disease from head to foot, as far as the priest can see, then the priest shall examine him, and if the leprosy has covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him who has the disease clean; it has all turned white; he is clean” (vv. 12-13). This signifies that one who is full of sin and who is willing to confess all his sin before God is cleansed. This is the opposite of what our opinion would be. According to the type here, if one is full of sin, absolutely sinful, yet does not cover his sin but instead makes a thorough confession before God, he will be forgiven and cleansed. However, one who is not willing to be exposed, one who hides himself, will remain leprous. Hiding ourselves and covering our sin are signs of leprosy
七 新肉若在皮上显出来，那就是痲疯
G. When Raw Flesh Appears on the Skin, It Is Leprosy
20『但是新肉在他身上显出来的那日，他就不洁净了。祭司要察看那新肉，定他为不洁净；新肉是不洁净的，那就是痲疯。』（利十三14～15。）这里我们看见新肉若在皮上显出，那就是痲疯。这表征旧有的罪又回来了。
20But on the day raw flesh appears on him, he shall be unclean. The priest shall examine the raw flesh and pronounce him unclean; the raw flesh is unclean; it is leprosy” (vv. 14-15). Here we see that when raw flesh appears on the skin, it is leprosy. This signifies that the old sin has come back again
八 新肉若又变白，痲疯就洁净了
H. If the Raw Flesh Again Turns White, the Leprosy Is Cleansed
21『但是新肉若又变白，他就要来见祭司；祭司就要察看他，若是患病的地方已经变白，祭司就要定那患病的人为洁净，他乃是洁净的。』（十三16～17。）这表征重复的罪若肯承认，还是得洁净的。九在肉皮上长疮的地方又白又肿（隆起），或是有白中带红的火斑，
21But if the raw flesh turns again to white, then he shall come to the priest; and the priest shall examine him, and if the diseased spot has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him who had the disease clean; he is clean” (vv. 16-17). This signifies that if the repeated sin is confessed, it will be cleansed. I. A White Swelling (Rising) or a Reddish-white Bright Spot in the Skin of the Flesh Where a Boil
这就是痲疯
Was Is Leprosy
22『若在肉皮上长疮，已经治好了，而在长疮的地方又白又肿，或是有白中带红的火斑，就要给祭司察看。祭司要察看，若其现象低于皮，其上的毛也变白了，祭司就要定他为不洁净，那是痲疯病，在疮中发作。』（利十三18～20）这表征人得救后，外面的生活有了软弱，并且又有新的弱点在他的行为上显出。十若是在肉皮上有了火伤，火伤的新肉又成了火斑，或是白中带红，
22When there is in the skin of the flesh a boil, and it has healed, and in the place where the boil was there is a white swelling, or a reddish-white bright spot, then it shall be shown to the priest. And when the priest examines it, if it appears lower than the skin, and the hair in it is turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a leprous disease; it has broken out in the boil” (vv. 18-20). This signifies that one becomes weak in his outward living after being saved and has new weak points manifested in his conduct. J. When the Flesh Has in Its Skin a Burn by Fire, and the Raw Flesh of the Burn Becomes a Bright
或是全白，这就是痲疯
Spot, Reddish-white or White, It Is Leprosy
23『或是在肉皮上有了火伤，火伤的新肉又成了火斑，或是白中带红，或是全白，祭司就要察看，若是火斑上的毛已经变白，现象又深于皮，这便是痲疯，在火伤中发作。祭司就要定他为不洁净，那是痲疯病。』（利十三24～25。）这表征一个得救的人凭肉体行事，如发脾气、称义自己、不肯原谅别人等等，这些都是痲疯的病征。发婢气乃是罪，因此是属灵痲疯的征象。自义也是一样。称义自己，就是原谅自己，不承认自己的失败、过失和错误，也是属灵痲疯的症状。同样的，不肯原谅别人，也是属灵痲疯的症状。我们堕落的人很难原谅别人，容易记得谁得罪过自己。有时我们好像赦免了主内的弟兄姊妹，但我们赦免却没有忘记那件得罪我们的事。我们记得那件事，甚至对别人谈论到那事，却一直宣称我们已经赦免了得罪我们的一方。这是没有忘记的赦免，这是属灵痲疯的病征。在召会生活中，我们都要受到试验，好试出我们在动机、目的和行动上有多少是纯净的。召会生活要证明我们在那里，我们是甚么，以及我们是谁。我们的人、我们的心、我们的心思、我们的意图、我们的动机、我们的目的－这一切都要在召会生活中试验出来。也许我们的动机在某种程度上是洁净的，却不是绝对纯净的。在我们中间，谁能说他在动机、意图、心愿和目的上是绝对纯净的？我们没有一个人能这样说。请记得，我们生来就是不洁的，并且我们这人乃是不洁的总和。一个是不洁之总和的人，不可
23“When the flesh has in its skin a burn by fire, and the raw flesh of the burn becomes a bright spot, reddish - white or white, then the priest shall examine it. If the hair in the bright spot has turned white, and it appears deeper than the skin, it is leprosy; it has broken out in the burn. The priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a leprous disease” (vv. 24-25). This signifies that a saved person’s acting by the flesh, for example his losing his temper, his justifying himself, and his not being willing to forgive others, is like a sign of sickness. Losing our temper is a sin; it is thus a sign of spiritual leprosy. The same is true of self-justification. Justifying ourselves, that is, excusing ourselves and not confessing our failures, mistakes, and wrongdoings, is a symptom of spiritual leprosy. Likewise, being unwilling to forgive others is also a symptom of spiritual leprosy. It is difficult for us fallen human beings to forgive others, but it is easy for us to remember those who have offended us. Sometimes we may seem to forgive our brothers and sisters in the Lord, but we forgive without forgetting the offense. We remember the offense and may even talk to others about it, all the while claiming that we have forgiven the offending party. This is forgiveness without forgetting, and it is a sign of spiritual sickness. In the church life we all are tested concerning how pure we are in our motive, purpose, and activities. The church life will prove where we are, what we are, and who we are. Our person, our heart, our mind, our emotion, our intention, our motive, our purpose — all these will be tested by the church life. Perhaps our motive is pure to a degree, but it may not be absolutely pure. Who among us can say that he is absolutely pure in motive, intention, will, and purpose? None of us can say this. Remember, we were born uncleanness, and we are a totality of uncleanness. It is impossible for one who is a totality of uncleanness to be absolutely pure in motive.
24能在动机上是绝对纯净的。
24
25我们若看见自己是不洁的总和，并且不可能在动机、意图和目的上绝对纯净，就会领悟我们多么需要神完全的救恩。我们需要基督，连同祂的死与复活。我们需要基督作我们的燔祭和赎罪祭。基督作我们的燔祭，乃是我们的生活。基督作我们的赎罪祭，顾到我们的罪，不是得救以前的罪，乃是得救以后仍然犯的罪。我们有基督同祂的死与复活，也有基督作燔祭和赎罪祭。这是神完全的救恩。我们晚上睡觉以前，该在主面前有一段认罪的时间，求主赦免我们的罪与不纯净。我们特别需要求主赦免我们动机上的不纯净。我们应当再次接受祂作我们的赎罪祭和赎愆祭，并将祂那洁净人的宝血应用到我们的情形里。然后带著洗净的良心，就是由血并那灵所洁净的良心，我们就能平安睡觉。
25If we see that we are a totality of uncleanness and that it is impossible for us to be absolutely pure in our motive, intention, and purpose, we shall realize how much we need God’s full salvation. We need Christ with His death and resurrection. We need Christ to be our burnt offering and our sin offering. As our burnt offering, Christ is our living. As our sin offering, Christ takes care of our sin, not the sin before we were saved but the sin that we still have after our salvation. We have Christ with His death and resurrection, and we have Christ as the burnt offering and the sin offering. This is God’s full salvation. Before we go to sleep at night, we should have a time of confession before the Lord, asking Him to forgive our sins and impurities. In particular, we need to ask the Lord to forgive any impurity in our motives. We should take Him once again as our sin offering and trespass offering and apply His precious, cleansing blood to our situation. Then with a purged conscience, a conscience cleansed by the blood and by the Spirit, we shall be able to sleep in peace
26利未记第二段对付我们圣别的生活，开始于饮食上的分别、我们生产的不洁、以及我们痲疯的光景这三件事。痲疯是撒但所生发的罪。藉著我们祖宗亚当的堕落，罪进到我们里面。亚当的堕落，叫撒但所生发的痲疯进到我们里面。这痲疯今天仍留在我们里面。这就是为何保罗能说，『若我去作所不愿意的，就不是我行出来的，乃是住在我里面的罪行出来的。』（罗七20。）保罗领悟我们里面有痲疯的病毒。痲疯既进到我们里面，现今就从我们里面发出来，成为罪、过犯和罪愆。为著这些，我们需要基督作我们的赎罪祭和赎愆祭。
26The second section of Leviticus, a section that deals with our holy living, begins with the three matters of discernment in diet, the uncleanness of our birth, and our leprous condition. Leprosy is the sin invented by Satan. Sin came into us through the fall of our father Adam. When Adam fell, the very leprosy invented by Satan entered into us. This leprosy still remains in us. This was the reason Paul could say, “If what I do not will, this I do, it is no longer I that do it but sin that dwells in me” (Rom. 7:20). Paul realized that the germ of leprosy is within us. Having entered into us, leprosy now issues forth from within us as sins, offenses, and transgressions. For these we need Christ to be our sin offering and trespass offering.
