第九十九问
Q. What is the aim of the third commandment?
第三条诫命的目的是什么?
A. That we neither blaspheme nor misuse the name of God by cursing, [1] perjury, [2] or unnecessary oaths, [3] nor share in such horrible sins by being silent bystanders. [4]
In summary, we should use the holy name of God only with reverence and awe, [5] so that we may properly confess God, [6] pray to God, [7] and glorify God in all our words and works. [8]
叫我们不谤渎神的名,也不滥用神的名于咒诅[1]、假见证[2]或不必要的起誓[3]中, 也不可默然旁观而有份于这样可怕的罪[4]。
总之,我们只应以敬畏来应用神的名[5],这样我们可以正确地向神悔改[6]并祷告[7], 在我们的一切言语和工作上荣耀神[8]。

第一百问
Q. Is blasphemy of God’s name by swearing and cursing really such serious sin that God is angry also with those who do not do all they can to help prevent and forbid it?
在发誓和咒诅中亵渎神的名的罪是否是如此严重,以致神的忿怒也降在那些对此不尽力加以阻拦和禁止的人身上?
A. Yes, indeed. [1] No sin is greater or provokes God’s wrath more than blaspheming his name. That is why God commanded it to be punished with death. [2]
确实如此[1]。 没有什么比亵渎神的名的罪更大,也没有什么比这罪更招致神的愤怒。 这也是为什么神命定此罪当被惩治以死[2]。
