1) Q. I have heard a little about the Bible, can you give me one reason why it is important?
A. The Word of God is the Bible. Its essence is: first, God’s Word is God’s breathing out. The
Bible is God’s breathing out; that is, it is the breath breathed out by God.
问：我听过一点圣经，你能告诉我为什么它很重要的原因吗？
答：神的话就是圣经，它的本质：第一，神的话就是神的呼出。圣经都是神的呼出，也就是神所呼出的气。
2) Q. If the Bible is God’s breath, is there a verse that shows this?
A. 2 Timothy 3:16 says that “All Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for
conviction, for correction, for instruction in righteousness”.
问：若说圣经是神的呼出，有经节可以证明吗？
答：提摩太后书三章16节说，“圣经都是神的呼出，对于教训、督责、改正、在义上的教导，都是有益的。”
3) Q. I know that all scripture is God breathed, but why is this important?
A. To God it is a matter of breathing out; to us it is a matter of breathing in. Through God’s
breathing out and our breathing in, God’s word enters into us and becomes our life and life supply.
问：我知道圣经都是神的呼出，但为什么这个很重要呢？
答：就神而言是呼出，就我们而言是吸入。一出一入，神的话进到我们里面，就成了我们的生命和生命的供应。
4) Q. Besides the Bible being God’s breath, is there anything else that we can say it is?
A. The Bible is the spiritual milk. In 1 Peter 2:2 Peter said that we need to be like newborn babies
desiring the guileless milk of the Word. In the Word of God there is the element of milk.
问：除了圣经是神的呼出外，我们还可以说圣经是什么？
答：圣经是属灵的奶水。在彼得前书二章2节彼得说，我们要像才生的婴孩一样，切慕那纯净的话奶。神的话里有奶
的成分。
5) Q. The Bible is God’s breath and our spiritual milk. Can it also be our food?
A. God’s Word is our bread of life, our food of life. This is indicated in Matthew 4:4, a word out
of the Lord’s mouth “Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out through
the mouth of God.”
问：圣经是神的呼出和我们属灵的奶水，它也能作我们的食物吗？
答：神的话是我们生命的食粮、我们生命的食物。这是主耶稣在马太福音四章4节亲口说的话：“人活着不是单靠食
物，乃是靠神口里所出的一切话。”
6) Q. Since the Bible is so many items to us, what should we do when we read it?
A. Whenever we read the Bible, we must breathe in the spiritual air, that is, the Spirit of God. We
also must drink the spiritual milk and eat the bread of life, which is the Lord Himself.
问：既然圣经之于我们是如此多的项目，当我们读它时该作些什么呢？
答：我们每逢读圣经的时候，要吸到属灵的空气，就是神的灵，也要喝到属灵的奶水，更要吃到生命的粮食，就是
主自己。
7) Q. The Word of the Lord is so rich. Is there anything else that it is?
A. The Word of the Lord is spirit and life. In John 6:63 the Lord Jesus said, “The words which I
have spoken unto you are spirit and are life.”
问：主的话是如此的丰富。它还是别的什么吗？
答：主的话是灵、是生命。在约翰福音六章63节主耶稣说，“我对你们所说的话，就是灵，就是生命。”
8) Q. If God’s Word is His breath, does it mean that God is the Word?
A. God is the Word, the Word also is God. The consummation of the Word is Christ Himself, because
Christ is the Word of God. John 1:1 says, “In the beginning was the Word…and the Word was God.”
问：如果神的话是祂的呼出，这意味着神就是话吗？
答：神就是话，话也就是神，这话的终结，就是基督自己，因为基督就是神的话。约翰福音一章1节说，“太初有话，……，话就是神。”
9) Q. If you say the Word is God, this means that the black and white letters are the living God. Is
this true?
A. This does not mean that we consider the words in black and white as the living God. What we mean
is that the words in black and white contain God Himself.
问：如果你说“话就是神”，这意思是说白纸黑字就是活的神。这正确吗？
答：这不是说我们把白纸黑字当作活的神了。我们的意思乃是在这白纸黑字里，包含了神自己。
10) Q. I want to read the Bible more. What will happen if I read it daily?
A. If we read the Lord’s Word daily, the Lord’s Word will enter into us. Then we will know it and
understand it.
问：我想多读圣经，如果我天天都读会怎么样呢？
答：我们这样天天读主的话，主的话进入我们里头，我们就明白、认识了。
