peaceableness

peaceableness

1. We must set our faces like flints against everything which is contrary to God and his holiness: purity being in our souls a settled matter, we can go on to peaceableness.

但是在此世界中，无论我们在和睦的事上可以作到如何程度，仍会被人误会。

2. Purify our minds that we may be “first pure, then peaceable,” and fortify our souls, that our peaceableness may not lead us into cowardice and despair, when for thy sake we are persecuted.

洁净我们的心思意念使我们先有清洁的心，继后与人和睦。刚强我们的心，好让在我们为你的缘故受到迫害时，不至于胆怯绝望。
