第一百二十九篇

Section 129

一八四三年二月九日，在伊利諾，納府，先知約瑟 • 斯密給予的指示，顯明分辨施助天使和諸靈的正確身分的三大鑰匙〔教會史，5:267〕。

Instructions given by Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Nauvoo, Illinois, 9 February 1843, making known three grand keys by which the correct nature of ministering angels and spirits may be distinguished (see History of the Church, 5:267).

1–3，天上有已復活的身體和靈體；4–9，說明辨認幔子那邊來的使者的鑰匙。

1–3, There are both resurrected and spirit bodies in heaven; 4–9, Keys are given whereby messengers from beyond the veil may be identified.

1 ^ａ天上有兩種人物，即：^ｂ天使；他們是^ｃ已復活的人，有骨肉的身體──

1 There are two kinds of beings in ^aheaven, namely: ^bAngels, who are ^cresurrected personages, having ^dbodies of flesh and bones—

2 例如，耶穌說：摸我看看！魂^ａ無骨無肉，你們看，我是有的。

2 For instance, Jesus said: Handle me and see, for a spirit hath not ^aflesh and bones, as ye see me have.

3 其次：已成為完全的^ａ義人之^ｂ靈；他們還沒有復活，但繼承同樣的榮耀。

3 Secondly: the ^aspirits of ^bjust men made ^cperfect, they who are not resurrected, but inherit the same glory.

4 當一位使者來，說他帶來神的信息，你就伸出你的手，請他與你握手。

4 When a messenger comes saying he has a message from God, offer him your hand and request him to shake hands with you.

5 如果他是天使，他就會這樣做，而你會感覺到他的手。　

5 If he be an angel he will do so, and you will feel his hand.

6 如果他是已成為完全的義人之靈，他會在他的榮耀中前來；因為那是他能顯現的唯一方式──

6 If he be the spirit of a just man made perfect he will come in his glory; for that is the only way he can appear—

7 請他與你握手，而他將不動，因為要一個義人欺騙是違反天上體制的；但他仍會傳達他的信息。

7 Ask him to shake hands with you, but he will not move, because it is contrary to the ^aorder of heaven for a just man to^bdeceive; but he will still deliver his message.

8 如果那是裝作光明天使的^ａ魔鬼，你請他握手時，他會伸出他的手，而你不會感覺到任何東西；因此你就可查出他。

8 If it be the ^adevil as an angel of light, when you ask him to shake hands he will offer you his hand, and you will not ^bfeelanything; you may therefore detect him.

9 這就是你可用來知道任何施助是否來自神的三大鑰匙。

9 These are three grand ^akeys whereby you may know whether any administration is from God.
