八十七、当为谁祷告

183问:我们当为谁祷告?

答:我们当:

  1. 为基督在地上的整个教会祷告(弗6:18;诗28:9);
  2. 为公民政府的长官(提前2:1-2),为牧者(西4:3)祷告;
  3. 为我们自己(创32:11),为我们的弟兄(雅5:16),也为我们的敌人祷告(太5:44);
  4. 为各种活着的人(提前2:1-2),也为将要来到这个世界的人祷告(约17:20;撒下7:29);
  5. 但是,不可为死人祷告(撒下12:21-23),也不可为那些已经知道犯了至于死的罪的人祷告(约壹5:16)。

Q. 183. For whom are we to pray?

A. We are to pray for the whole church of Christ upon earth; for magistrates, and ministers; for ourselves, our brethren, yea, our enemies; and for all sorts of men living, or that shall live hereafter; but not for the dead, nor for those that are known to have sinned the sin unto death.
