1:1 奉 神旨意,蒙召作耶穌基督使徒的保羅,同兄弟所提尼, Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
1:2 寫信給在哥林多 神的教會,就是在基督耶穌裏成聖、蒙召作聖徒的,以及所有在各處求告我主耶穌基督之名的人。基督是他們的主,也是我們的主。 To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ--their Lord and ours: 1:3 願恩惠、平安從 神我們的父並主耶穌基督歸與你們。 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 1:4 我常為你們感謝我的 神,因 神在基督耶穌裏所賜給你們的恩惠; I always thank God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. 1:5 又因你們在他裏面凡事富足,口才、知識都全備, For in him you have been enriched in every way--in all your speaking and in all your knowledge-- 1:6 正如我為基督作的見證,在你們心裏得以堅固, because our testimony about Christ was confirmed in you. 1:7 以致你們在恩賜上沒有一樣不及人的,等候我們的主耶穌基督顯現。 Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed. 1:8 他也必堅固你們到底,叫你們在我們主耶穌基督的日子無可責備。 He will keep you strong to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1:9 神是信實的,你們原是被他所召,好與他兒子─我們的主耶穌基督一同得分。 God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful. 1:10 弟兄們,我藉我們主耶穌基督的名勸你們都說一樣的話。你們中間也不可分黨,只要一心一意,彼此相合。 0 I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought. 1:11 因為革來氏家裏的人曾對我提起弟兄們來,說你們中間有紛爭。 My brothers, some from Chloe's household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. 1:12 我的意思就是你們各人說:「我是屬保羅的」;「我是屬亞波羅的」;「我是屬磯洗的」;「我是屬基督的」。 What I mean is this: One of you says, <<I follow Paul>>; another, <<I follow Apollos>>; another, <<I follow Cephas(\f1 1:12 That is, Peter)>>; still another, <<I follow Christ.>> 1:13 基督是分開的嗎?保羅為你們釘了十字架嗎?你們是奉保羅的名受了洗嗎? Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized into(\f2 1:13 Or|i in|d; also in verse 15) the name of Paul? 1:14 我感謝 神,除了基利司布並該猶以外,我沒有給你們一個人施洗; I am thankful that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius, 1:15 免得有人說,你們是奉我的名受洗。 so no one can say that you were baptized into my name. 1:16 我也給司提法那家施過洗,此外給別人施洗沒有,我卻記不清。 (Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I don't remember if I baptized anyone else.) 1:17 基督差遣我,原不是為施洗,乃是為傳福音,並不用智慧的言語,免得基督的十字架落了空。 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel--not with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power. 1:18 因為十字架的道理,在那滅亡的人為愚拙;在我們得救的人,卻為 神的大能。 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 1:19 就如經上所記:我要滅絕智慧人的智慧,廢棄聰明人的聰明。 For it is written: <<I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.>> (\f3 1:19 Isaiah 29:14) 1:20 智慧人在哪裏?文士在哪裏?這世上的辯士在哪裏? 神豈不是叫這世上的智慧變成愚拙嗎? Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 1:21 世人憑自己的智慧,既不認識 神, 神就樂意用人所當作愚拙的道理,拯救那些信的人;這就是 神的智慧了。 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 1:22 猶太人是要 神蹟,希臘人是求智慧, Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom, 1:23 我們卻是傳釘十字架的基督,在猶太人為絆腳石,在外邦人為愚拙; but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 1:24 但在那蒙召的,無論是猶太人、希臘人,基督總為 神的能力, 神的智慧。 but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 1:25 因 神的愚拙總比人智慧, 神的軟弱總比人強壯。 For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength. 1:26 弟兄們哪,可見你們蒙召的,按著肉體有智慧的不多,有能力的不多,有尊貴的也不多。 Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 1:27 神卻揀選了世上愚拙的,叫有智慧的羞愧;又揀選了世上軟弱的,叫那強壯的羞愧。 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 1:28 神也揀選了世上卑賤的,被人厭惡的,以及那無有的,為要廢掉那有的。 He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things--and the things that are not--to nullify the things that are, 1:29 使一切有血氣的,在 神面前一個也不能自誇。 so that no one may boast before him. 1:30 但你們得在基督耶穌裏,是本乎 神, 神又使他成為我們的智慧、公義、聖潔、救贖。 It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God--that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. 1:31 如經上所記:『誇口的,當指著主誇口。』 Therefore, as it is written: <<Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.>>( \f4 1:31 Jer. 9:24) This is Alex Markley's PHPScripture v1.2.0, displaying a copy of Chinese Union Version Bible in XOOPS. 本模組中文化由長島基督福音教會的Jack起始, 聖經文字部分由CCIM(網路基督使團)網站下載. 如欲修改經文請洽聖經公會. 荒漠甘泉五合一■ 中文荒漠甘泉(02月05日)
二月五日 「你們出來必不至急忙。」以賽亞書五二章12節 我不相信,我們已經瞭解在安靜中的奇妙的能力了。我們常太急躁——我們自己一定要去作——不給神一個機會彰顯祂的榮耀。因此,神常對我們說,「站住」(出十四13),「安坐」(路三18),「住了罷!靜了罷!」(可四39),祂纔可以發揮祂的全能。 在我們基督徒的生活中,我們的失敗常是因為我們要自己工作來得勝;其實,我們需要讓神在我們裏面工作。當你請一個攝影師替你照相的時候,你必須安靜不動,完全讓他作。 神對於我們有一個永久的目的,就是要我們像祂的兒子;如果要達成這個目的,我們必須處在被動的地位,關於如何主動,我們聽得太多了,也許我們更需要瞭解安靜的意義。 ─碎錦 「女兒啊!你只管安坐靜待」, 別以為等候的日子對你有害, 最愛你的祂, 為你安排前程, 祂不會忘記你今日的迫切需要, 假若祂在等候, 祂的等待, 是為了證實祂對你的深愛。 「女兒啊!你只管安坐靜待」, 你渴望知道主的旨意! 由於祂的緩慢 切莫讓焦躁侵蝕心懷, 你當一心堅信等待, 祂對你的愛,至善至美。 「女兒啊!你只管安坐靜待」, 一步亦不動, 直等到祂的路為你暢開, 那時你將多麼舒泰, 你的腳步將如何輕快, 你的靈魂將多麼堅強, 等候的日子並不長得不可忍耐。 「女兒啊!你只管安坐靜待」, 你還能為祂作什麼更大的奉獻? 是的, 這是很難, 但好的東西, 代價亦貴, 為了吝嗇破費, 招來多少損害。 是的, 這很難, 但祂的恩典俱在, 你的等待, 換來了福如東海。 ─史密斯

February 5 "Ye shall not go out with haste." (Isa. 52:12.) I DO not believe that we have begun to understand the marvelous power there is in stillness. we are in such a hurry─we must be doing─so that we are in danger of not giving God a chance to work. You may depend upon it, God never says to us, "Stand still," or "Sit still," or "Be still," unless He is going to do something. This is our trouble in regard to our Christian life; we want to do something to be Christians when we need to let Him work in us. Do you know how still you have to be when your likeness is being taken? Now God has one eternal purpose concerning us, and that is that we should be like His Son; and in order that this may be so, we must be passive. We hear so much about activity, may be we need to know what it is to be quiet. ─Crumbs. Sit still, my daughter! Just sit calmly still! Nor deem these days─these waiting days─as ill! The One who loves thee best, who plans thy way, Hath not forfgotten thy great need today! And, if He waits, 'tis sure He waits to prove To thee, His tender child, His heart's deep love. Sit still, my daughter! Just sit calmly still! Thou longest much to know thy dear Lord's will! While anxious thoughts would almost steal their way Corrodingly within, because of His delay─ Persuade thyself in simple faith to rest That He, who knows and loves, will do the best. Sit still, my daughter! Just sit calmly still! Nor move one step, not even one, until His way hath opened. Then, ah then, how sweet! How glad thy heart, and then how swift thy feet Thy inner being then, ah then, how strong! And waiting days not counted then too long. Sit still, my daughter! Just sit calmly still! What higher service could'st thou for Him fill? Tis hard! ah yes! But choicest things must cost! For lack of losing all how much is lost! Tis hard, tis true! But then─He giveth grace To count the hardest spot the sweetest place. ─J. Danson Smith.

二月五日 靜默的敬拜 「我的心默默無聲,專等候神。」「我的心哪,你當默默無聲,專等候神,因為我的盼望是從祂而來。」詩篇六十二篇1、5節 當人在他的微小裡,與神在祂的榮耀裡相逢的時候,我們都知道神所說的話其價值是遠超過人所說的。但是在我們的禱告裡,卻時常發表許多自己的思想,只是關乎我們的需要,應當好好學習安靜默然的在神面前,這才是真實敬拜的秘訣。讓我們記得這一個應許:「你們得力在乎平靜安穩(信靠)」「我的心哪,你當專心等候神,因為我的盼望是從祂而來。」「我要等候主,我的心等候,我的盼望也在乎祂的話語。」 當人的心俯伏在祂的面前,想念祂的偉大、祂的聖潔、祂的能力和祂的愛,並將祂的名所該得的榮耀、尊貴和敬拜,歸給祂的時候,人的心就敞開來接受神的親密,和祂能力的工作。 哦!基督徒啊,相信這樣的敬拜神——在你的無有裡俯伏下拜,並提起你的思想來領會神的同在,好像在基督耶穌裡,將自己賜給你,才是惟一的路,將神所當得的榮耀歸給祂,並且能帶到那禱告最高的祝福裡。 不要想這是虛擲光陰,如果在起頭的時候覺得困難,沒有果效,不要放棄它。相信它能帶你到與神正當的關係裡。它為你開一條與父神交通的道路。它也帶進一個蒙福的保證,就是神用慈愛看顧你,又用秘密而聖潔的能力工作在你裡面。當你這樣成為習慣的時候,你就要覺得祂的同在是整天不離開你。這一個能使你剛強的為主作見證。有人說:「除了神在人裡面之外,沒有一個人能影響別人叫他良善與聖潔。」人會覺得你是與神同在的。「惟耶和華在祂的聖殿中,全地的人,都當在祂面前肅敬靜默」(哈二20) 「凡有血氣的,都當在耶和華面前,靜默無聲,因為祂興起,從聖所出來了。」(亞二13)

二月五日 你準備獻上麼? 「我以你們的信心為供獻的祭物,我若被澆奠在其上,也是喜樂,並且與你們眾人一同喜樂。」腓立比書二章17節 你願意獻上自己,替信的人工作──傾出你生命的血,作為一種奠祭,加到別人信心的祭品上麼?或說:我此刻還不要把自己獻上,我也不要神替我揀選工作,我要揀選我自己犧牲的環境,我希望有人注視著,誇我「做得好!」 抱著光榮的英勇,獨斷獨行,是一件事。如果神命定你作蹋腳的毯子,擺在門口,任人踐踏,那又是一件事。或許神要教訓你說:「我知道怎樣的自卑」──你準備像那樣獻上麼?你準備像一滴之水,在水桶中麼?──你願意無聲無臭的消滅在人類的記念中麼?你願意耗費自己,同時也願被別人耗費麼?不求受人的服事,卻求服事人麼?有的「聖者」不肯從事僕役的工作,是因為僕役的工作有損他們的尊嚴。

二月五日 「在主裡休息」詩篇卅八篇 當神創造萬物時,祂以工作開始一個星期,以休息作為結束。然而耶穌在主日復活之後,一個星期的第一天卻以休息為開始,之後才工作。 因此我們必須像神一樣先停止工作,進入祂裡面休息。然後帶著安靜的心,我們才會滿有能力地作祂的事工。 我們為什麼得努力進入祂裡面休息呢?讓我們來瞧瞧開帆船的技術:當帆船乘風前進時,它能毫不費力、平靜地在水面上滑行。但是掌舵的人必須穩穩地握住船舵,使帆能順風、使船能平衡。假使掌舵的人稍微一鬆手,帆立刻會沒精打采地倒下來。不僅所有的帆會倒下來,而且海浪會無情地使帆船翻騰不已,使一切的寧靜、能力消失淨盡。換言之,有了穩妥的舵,才會有載風而行的帆。以賽亞書廿六章3節說:「堅心倚賴您的,您必保守他十分平安,因為他倚靠您。」意志堅定、心裡平靜乃在乎我們,然而保守我們的是主。所以讓我們努力進入祂裡面休息,由祂來掌舵。
