世の中には軽率に保証人となって財産を失い、苦しい立場に立たされる人が多くいます。信じる者は、対面や義理、義侠心で、後先考えずに保証人になってしまうことのないように注意すべきです。もし保証人になって苦難に陥ったのであれば、すぐに行ってすばやく自分を救い出すべきです(5)。それは、利己心のためではありません。軽率な保証によって財産と友だちを失い、自分の家族まで失うかもしれません。そしてそれは信仰までも捨て去るような愚かさを避けるためであり、責任のある社会生活をおくるためです。
There are many people who lost their property because they carelessly became a guarantor, and put themselves in a very difficult position.
A person who believes should be very careful not to become a guarantor because of public image, obligation or chivalrous spirit without considering the consequences. If you are put in difficult position as a result of becoming a guarantor, you should take an action now to quickly rescue yourself (5). It is not for your personal egoism. You may lose your property, friends and even your own family because of your careless guarantee.
And it is for avoiding stupidity to give up your faith and for making a responsible social life.
