Now in finishing I would like to say this. I would like to apologize. Not for the truth that I have shared. But this afternoon several people came to me. And they said, “brother Paul we love the thing you preached. But sometimes you say things very hard”. And I said, “well, I am an American.” But then I said, “You know you are right.”
現在快要結束了，我想這樣說。我願意道歉。不是為了我所分享的真理，而是今天下午有幾個人來找我。他們說：“保羅弟兄，我們喜愛你傳講的信息。但有時你講的內容很嚴厲。”我說：“好，我是一個美國人。”但後來我說：“你們知道你們是對的。”
I don’t regret one thing I’ve said yesterday or today with regard to the truth that is in it. But I do regret some of the things that I said in some of the ways that I said them. Sometimes when we full of passion, and we want so much for people to change. That we can sometimes just say things that are said the right way. And you know this is a good lesson.
我不會為了昨天或今天說過的任何一件關於真理的事而抱歉。但我確實要為說這些話的方式而抱歉。有時，當我們充滿激情，並且我們非常想讓人們改變。而有時我們只能用正確的方法來說這些話。你們知道這是一個很好的功課。
I don’t care about my reputation. I just want to be right with God. And I want to be right with you. So if I’ve offended of you because I said some thing that’s in the Bible. I don’t apologize for that. But if I have said some thing the wrong way, I think sometimes I have. I ask you to forgive me for that. Because it gains the only thing I want is to be right with God. And we will be judged for every word that comes out of our mouth.
我不在乎我的名聲。我只想與神有正確的關係，我也想與你們有正確的關係。所以，如果我冒犯了你們，是因為我說的一些在聖經裡的事情，我不會為此道歉。不過，如果我說某些事情的方法錯了，我想有時我會這樣，為此，我請求你們原諒我。因為我唯一想要的是與神有正確的關係。我們將為我們口裡所出的每一個字受審判。
You see everybody has their weaknesses. Everyone has their failures. And I certainly have mine. But there is so much it stays care. This is not a game. I can’t just give you a sermon and then go to bed. It is not true, it is not well with everyone’s soul. Some of the things I have said you know it’s true about you.
你們知道，每個人都有自己的弱點。每個人都有自己的失敗。我當然也有。但它有這麼多需要留意。這不是一個遊戲。我不能只給你講一篇道，然後上床睡覺。這是不真實的，這對每一個人的靈魂都不是很好。我所說的一些關於你們的事情，你們知道是真實的。
Please don’t leave here tonight without setting things right with God. Don’t harden your heart. seek him while he may be found. Everything depends upon it.
今晚沒有與上帝把事情弄對，請不要離開這裡。不要硬著你的心。尋求祂，而祂就會被尋見。一切都取決於此。
Some of you who are here tonight who have been parents for many many years. And you probably had children that had done things that were wrong. And you stood there just crying out to them: “Please don’t do this, please don’t do this. You are going to ruin your life.”
今晚你們在這裡的一些人已經為人父母許多許多年。可能你們有些人的孩子做錯了事。而你站在那裡，只是向他們大聲疾呼：“請不要這樣做，請不要這樣做，你會毀了你的生命。”
That’s what the preacher feels every time he gets up and profess. Follow Christ, don’t follow the world.
這就是一個講道者每次起來講道時的感受。要跟隨基督，不要跟隨世界。
