Hugo: Individual integrity

在中華文化的病毒研究所外,茉莉花對螢火蟲說,“你所說的‘Individual integrity’是啥意思?”

螢火蟲回答,“經上說,‘Jehovah went on to say to Satan: Have you set your heart upon my servant Job, that there is no one like him in the earth, a man blameless and upright, fearing God and turning aside from bad? Even yet he is holding fast his integrity, although you incite me against him to swallow him up without cause.’(Job 2:3),‘Individual integrity’就是‘Fearing God and turning aside from bad’,如此人才能展現出‘The image of God’(Gen 1:26-27)與‘The glory of God’(1 Cor 11:7; 2 Cor 3:18),不是嗎?”

“主耶穌基督說,‘You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind. This is the greatest and first commandment. The second, like it, is this, You must love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments the whole Law hangs, and the Prophets.’(Matt 22:37-40)與‘I am the true vine, and my Father is the cultivator. Every branch in me not bearing fruit he takes away, and every one bearing fruit he cleans, that it may bear more fruit. YOU are already clean because of the word that I have spoken to YOU. Remain in union with me, and I in union with YOU. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it remains in the vine, in the same way neither can YOU, unless YOU remain in union with me. I am the vine, YOU are the branches. He that remains in union with me, and I in union with him, this one bears much fruit; because apart from me YOU can do nothing at all.’(John 15:1-5),‘Love God and love people’與‘Union with Christ’才是‘Individual integrity’的完整內涵(Col 3:10; Eph 6:1-24; Ro 8:1-39; Eph 4:1-32; Zec 4:10; 2 Cor 3:18; 1 Cor 15:39–49; 1 Pet 1:3–9; 1 Cor 6:19-20; 1 Cor 15:20-58; Heb. 1:3-4; 2 Pet. 1:3-4; 1 Pet 2:4–10; 1 Pet. 1:10–12; 2 Cor. 3:18; Heb 12:22, 23; Col 3:1–4; Gal 3:28; Ro 12:5; 1 Cor 12:27),不是嗎?”
