第七十四篇

Section 74

一八三二年一月，在俄亥俄，海蘭，給予先知約瑟 • 斯密的啟示〔教會史，1:242〕。先知寫道：「我蒙得上述主的話〔教約七十三篇〕之後，就重新開始翻譯經文，並努力工作，直到一月二十五日舉行大會前。在這期間，我又蒙得以下解釋哥林多前書第七章第十四節的啟示」〔教會史，1:242〕。

Revelation given to Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Hiram, Ohio, January 1832 (see History of the Church, 1:242). The Prophet writes: “Upon the reception of the foregoing word of the Lord [D&C 73], I recommenced the translation of the Scriptures, and labored diligently until just before the conference, which was to convene on the 25th of January. During this period I also received the following, as an explanation of the First Epistle to the Corinthians, 7th chapter, 14th verse” (History of the Church,1:242).

1–5，保羅勸當時的教會不要守摩西律法；6–7，小孩子是聖潔的，他們經由贖罪而成為聖潔。

1–5, Paul counsels the Church of his day not to keep the law of Moses; 6–7, Little children are holy and are sanctified through the Atonement.

1 因為^ａ不信的丈夫，就因著妻子成了聖潔；並且不信的妻子，就因著丈夫成了聖潔；不然，你們的兒女就不潔淨。但如今他們是聖潔的了。

1 For the ^aunbelieving ^bhusband is ^csanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; else were your children unclean, but now are they holy.

2 原來在使徒的時代，所有不信耶穌基督福音的猶太人，都守割禮的律法。

2 Now, in the days of the apostles the law of circumcision was had among all the Jews who believed not the gospel of Jesus Christ.

3 事情是這樣的，人民為了^ａ割禮的律法，起了激烈的^ｂ紛爭，因為不信的丈夫希望自己的孩子受割禮，以遵守^ｃ摩西律法，而那律法已成全。

3 And it came to pass that there arose a great ^acontention among the people concerning the law of ^bcircumcision, for the unbelieving husband was desirous that his children should be circumcised and become subject to the ^claw of Moses, which law was fulfilled.

4 事情是這樣的，孩子因為在遵守摩西律法的情況下長大，就遵守祖先的^ａ傳統，不相信基督的福音，由此他們變成不聖潔。

4 And it came to pass that the children, being brought up in subjection to the law of Moses, gave heed to the ^atraditions of their fathers and believed not the gospel of Christ, wherein they became unholy.

5 因此，那位使徒就為了這緣故，寫信給教友，給他們一條誡命，不是主的，而是他自己的，要求信徒不要與不信者^ａ結合，除非^ｂ摩西律法從他們當中廢除，

5 Wherefore, for this cause the apostle wrote unto the church, giving unto them a commandment, not of the Lord, but of himself, that a believer should not be ^aunited to an ^bunbeliever; except the ^claw of Moses should be done away among them,

6 這樣他們的孩子就可以維持不受割禮，使那說小孩子不聖潔的傳統得以廢除；那就是猶太人所守的傳統；

6 That their children might remain without circumcision; and that the ^atradition might be done away, which saith that little children are unholy; for it was had among the Jews;

7 但是^ａ小孩子是^ｂ聖潔的，因為他們已由耶穌基督的^ｃ贖罪而成為^ｄ聖潔；這就是那段經文的意思。

7 But little ^achildren are ^bholy, being ^csanctified through the^datonement of Jesus Christ; and this is what the scriptures mean.
