The Bible does contain narratives of people’s actions without commenting on the appropriateness or sinfulness of their actions. Below are a couple of examples.
圣经中确实包含了在对人们行为进行叙述时，却没有对他们行为的适当性或罪恶性进行评论的例子。下面是其中几个例子。
In Exodus 1:17-19, the king of Egypt issued a decree of killing baby boys that directly opposed God’s moral law that forbids murder. The Egyptian midwives disobeyed Pharaoh’s command and were not honest with him. Christians know that if they encounter conflicting commands from people and God, they have every reason to side with God (Acts 5:29).
在出埃及记1:17-19中，埃及法老颁布了一项杀害男婴的法令，这直接违背了上帝禁止谋杀的道德律。埃及的接生婆不服从法老的命令，对他不诚实。基督徒知道，如果他们遇到和上帝的命令相冲突的事情，他们完全有理由站在上帝一边而不顺从这些事（徒5:29）。
On the basis of Joshua 2, children of God may sometimes wrestle with the possibility that their truthful statements will be used for harmful and ungodly purposes. While not necessarily commenting on Rahab’s particular course of action in Joshua 2:4, the inspired writer to the Hebrews provides this description of her interaction with the spies: “By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies, was not killed with those who were disobedient” (Hebrews 11:31).
根据约书亚记第2章，神的儿女有时可能会纠结于他们的真实陈述会不会被用于有害和不敬虔的目的。虽然希伯来书11章不一定是对剌合在约书亚记2:4中所采取的特定行动来进行评价，但受圣灵默示的希伯来书作者在对她与探子的互动进行了这样的描述。”妓女喇合因着信，曾和和平平地接待探子，就不与那些不顺从的人一同灭亡。”（希伯来书11:31）
While Scripture alone is the source of our faith, explanations of our faith by fellow Christians can be helpful. So, in that way and within the context of your question, Martin Luther understood lying as withholding the truth from people who are entitled to it. We have to ask: were the kings of Egypt and Jericho entitled to the truth, since they were going to use the truth to oppose God’s will and plans? Christians might answer that question in different ways, but one of those answers is “no.”
虽然唯独圣经是我们信仰的来源，但其他基督徒对我们信仰的解释也是有帮助的。因此，从这个角度来看，在你的问题的范围内，马丁-路德把撒谎理解为对有权获得真相的人隐瞒真相。我们要问：既然埃及和耶利哥的国王要利用真相来反对上帝的意志和计划，那么他们是否有权获得真相？基督徒可能会以不同的方式回答这个问题，但其中一个答案是 “没有”。
In regard to Rahab’s actions, the People’s Bible Commentary for the book of Joshua lists (pages 35-36) some helpful truths to keep in mind about her:
关于剌合的行为，约书亚记的《大众圣经注释》中（第35-36页）列出了关于她的一些有用的事实，请记住：
- Her purpose and motive were in line with God’s revealed will.
她的目的和动机符合上帝显明的旨意。
- All forms of deception are not necessarily immoral. (Cf. Exodus 1:17-19; 2:1-10) 不是所有形式的欺骗都是不道德的。(参阅《出埃及记》1:17-19；2:1-10)
- The New Testament commends her faith and refers to her actions as fruits of faith. (Hebrews 11:31; James 2:25)
新约赞扬了她的信心，并把她的行为称为信心的果实。(希伯来书11：31；雅各书2：25)
- She was new to the faith and needed to determine a godly course of action quickly.
她刚信上帝，而且她需要马上确定一个合乎上帝旨意的行动方案。
- The cultural practices of her day meant looking out for guests.
她那个时代的文化习俗意味着要为客人着想。
- We could always do something better with the benefit of hindsight. If our course of action is wrong, we rejoice that we have a Savior who was perfect in our place and has paid the debt of our sin and guilt.
我们总是可以用事后诸葛亮的方式做得更好。如果我们的行动方案是错误的，我们仍会高兴，因为我们有一位救主，他在我们人的位置上时是完美的，并且已经为我们的罪债和愧疚都付上了赎价。
