【彼后2:8】因为那义人住在他们中间，看见听见他们不法的事，他的义心就天天伤痛。【2 Peter2:8】for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard.

罗得曾与亚伯拉罕一同出了吾珥，但是后来罗得渐渐挪移帐棚，直到居住在所多玛。Lot once left Ur with Abraham, but later he gradually moved his tents and eventually settled in Sodom. 所多玛在神面前罪大恶极。当神要毁灭所多玛、蛾摩拉时，亚伯拉罕为这两个城祈求。若城中有十个义人，神就不毁灭这城。Sodom was exceedingly sinful before God. When God intended to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, Abraham interceded for these two cities, asking that if there were ten righteous people, God would not destroy them. 城被毁灭时，因着神的公义，天使搭救了那常为恶人淫行忧伤的义人罗得。When the city was ultimately destroyed, because of God’s righteousness, angels rescued Lot, a righteous man who was deeply troubled by the lawless deeds of the wicked.

罗得跟我们一样不完全，却因信被神称为义人。Lot, like us, was not perfect, yet he was counted as righteous by God because of his faith. 罗得住在他们中间，看见听见他们不法的事，他的义心就天天伤痛。Living among the people of Sodom, Lot saw and heard their lawless deeds, and his righteous soul was distressed day by day. 罗得知道这是罪，是神所不喜悦的，没有麻木地认为这是正常的，没有与他们同流合污，反而忧伤劝勉。He knew these acts were sinful and displeasing to God. He did not become desensitized, nor did he join in their ways; instead, he grieved and warned them. 神必照着公义施行审判。所多玛、蛾摩拉被火焚烧成灰，却搭救了罗得。God, in His righteousness, will execute judgment. Sodom and Gomorrah were reduced to ashes by fire, yet God delivered Lot.

因神的怜悯，罗得蒙了拯救，却像从火中抽出的一根柴，没有产业。By God’s mercy, Lot was saved, yet he was like a brand plucked from the fire, left without inheritance. 今天我们也是因信称义的一群人，我们都将站在神的审判台前。Today, we too are counted righteous by faith and will one day stand before God’s judgment seat. 当看见听见身边各种不法的事，我的心是天天伤痛？还是觉得“跟我无关，没关系，大家都是这样”？When I see and hear the lawless deeds around me, is my heart distressed each day? Or do I feel, “It has nothing to do with me, it’s fine, everyone does this”? 或是论断、恼恨、自义：这些人太坏了！我比你们圣洁！Perhaps I respond with judgment, anger, or self-righteousness: “These people are so wicked! I am holier than you!”

主，当我死在过犯罪恶中，是你为我舍命。Lord, when I was dead in my sins and trespasses, You gave Your life for me. 求你赦免我，得了救赎，却忘了这恩情。Forgive me, for I have received redemption yet forgotten this grace. 主，你恨恶罪恶，却怜悯罪人，你不愿我们落在咒诅和审判之中，你愿我们得拯救，得赏赐。Lord, You hate sin but have mercy on sinners. You do not desire that we fall under curse and judgment; You desire for us to be saved and to receive reward. 圣灵，求你帮助我恨恶自己的罪，天天为身边的人怜悯代求，因为他们所做的他们不知道…主怎么拯救我们，求主也拯救他们…Holy Spirit, help me to hate my own sins and to daily intercede with compassion for those around me, for they do not know what they are doing… Just as the Lord has saved us, may He also save them.（付传道 Pastor Fu）
