1:1 奉 神旨意,作基督耶穌使徒的保羅和兄弟提摩太 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
1:2 寫信給歌羅西的聖徒,在基督裏有忠心的弟兄。願恩惠、平安從 神我們的父歸與你們! To the holy and faithful(\f1 1:2 Or|i believing|d) brothers in Christ at Colosse: Grace and peace to you from God our Father.( \f2 1:2 Some manuscripts|i Father and the Lord Jesus Christ|d) 1:3 我們感謝 神、我們主耶穌基督的父,常常為你們禱告; We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, 1:4 因聽見你們在基督耶穌裏的信心,並向眾聖徒的愛心, because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all the saints-- 1:5 是為那給你們存在天上的盼望;這盼望就是你們從前在福音真理的道上所聽見的。 the faith and love that spring from the hope that is stored up for you in heaven and that you have already heard about in the word of truth, the gospel 1:6 這福音傳到你們那裏,也傳到普天之下,並且結果,增長,如同在你們中間,自從你們聽見福音,真知道 神恩惠的日子一樣。 that has come to you. All over the world this gospel is bearing fruit and growing, just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and understood God's grace in all its truth. 1:7 正如你們從我們所親愛、一同作僕人的以巴弗所學的。他為我們〔有古卷:你們〕作了基督忠心的執事, You learned it from Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on our(\f3 1:7 Some manuscripts|i your|d) behalf, 1:8 也把你們因聖靈所存的愛心告訴了我們。 and who also told us of your love in the Spirit. 1:9 因此,我們自從聽見的日子,也就為你們不住地禱告祈求,願你們在一切屬靈的智慧悟性上,滿心知道 神的旨意; For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. 1:10 好叫你們行事為人對得起主,凡事蒙他喜悅,在一切善事上結果子,漸漸地多知道 神; 0 And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, 1:11 照他榮耀的權能,得以在各樣的力上加力,好叫你們凡事歡歡喜喜地忍耐寬容; being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully 1:12 又感謝父,叫我們能與眾聖徒在光明中同得基業。 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you(\f4 1:12 Some manuscripts|i us|d) to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light. 1:13 他救了我們脫離黑暗的權勢,把我們遷到他愛子的國裏; For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, 1:14 我們在愛子裏得蒙救贖,罪過得以赦免。 in whom we have redemption,( \f5 1:14 A few late manuscripts|i redemption through his blood|d) the forgiveness of sins. 1:15 愛子是那不能看見之 神的像,是首生的,在一切被造的以先。 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 1:16 因為萬有都是靠他造的,無論是天上的,地上的;能看見的,不能看見的;或是有位的,主治的,執政的,掌權的;一概都是藉著他造的,又是為他造的。 For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. 1:17 他在萬有之先;萬有也靠他而立。 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 1:18 他也是教會全體之首。他是元始,是從死裏首先復生的,使他可以在凡事上居首位。 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 1:19 因為父喜歡叫一切的豐盛在他裏面居住。 For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 1:20 既然藉著他在十字加上所流的血成就了和平,便藉著他叫萬有─無論是地上的、天上的─都與自己和好了。 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross. 1:21 你們從前與 神隔絕,因著惡行,心裏與他為敵。 Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of(\f6 1:21 Or|i minds, as shown by|d) your evil behavior. 1:22 但如今他藉著基督的肉身受死,叫你們與自己和好,都成了聖潔,沒有瑕疵,無可責備,把你們引到自己面前。 But now he has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation-- 1:23 只要你們在所信的道上恆心,根基穩固,堅定不移,不至被引動失去〔原文是離開〕福音的盼望。這福音就是你們所聽過的,也是傳與普天下萬人聽的〔原文是凡受造的〕,我保羅也作了這福音的執事。 if you continue in your faith, established and firm, not moved from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant. 1:24 現在我為你們受苦,倒覺歡樂;並且為基督的身體,就是為教會,要在我肉身上補滿基督患難的缺欠。 Now I rejoice in what was suffered for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ's afflictions, for the sake of his body, which is the church. 1:25 我照 神為你們所賜我的職分作了教會的執事,要把 神的道理傳得全備, I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness-- 1:26 這道理就是歷世歷代所隱藏的奧祕;但如今向他的聖徒顯明了。 the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the saints. 1:27 神願意叫他們知道,這奧祕在外邦人中有何等豐盛的榮耀,就是基督在你們心裏成了有榮耀的盼望。 To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. 1:28 我們傳揚他,是用諸般的智慧,勸戒各人,教導各人,要把各人在基督裏完完全全的引到 神面前。 We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. 1:29 我也為此勞苦,照著他在我裏面運用的大能盡心竭力。 To this end I labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me.

四月三日 「因你們要在火中榮耀耶和華。」以賽亞書廿四章15節(直譯) 注意這小字「在!」我們要在火中─試煉中(彼前四12)—─榮耀祂。雖然那裏是一個受苦的地方,我們要用信心來榮耀祂。我們相信祂是良善的、慈愛的,祂既准許「火煉的試驗臨到」我們,我們相信試煉過後,我們會有更多讚美和感謝的根據; 祗有大信心才能通過火的試煉,小信必注定失敗,讓我們爭取烈火中的得勝! ─波登 在困難中的才能表現他的信心堅決,被投入烈焰中的三個少年人(但以理的同伴),他們從火焰中出來的時候,和被投進去的時候只有一點不同─—他們的捆綁已經解除了。 神使他們經過了爐火的試煉,結果毫無損傷─—身體不傷,頭髮不焦,衣裳不變色,也沒有火燎氣味。前後不同的就是身上缺了捆綁,臉上添了榮光。難怪褻瀆神的尼布甲尼撒不得不屈服來讚美榮耀神了。今天基督徒從試煉的爐中出來的時候,也該這樣—─脫了捆綁,添上榮光,絲毫不受火的影響。 ─選 「就仗著十字架誇勝。」(西二15) 這是真正的得勝,從疾病中戰勝病魔,從奄奄一息中戰勝死亡,從逆境中戰勝。心需相信,在奮鬥中,有一種使我們勝利的力量。要從試煉之中去獲取勝利。基督在祂的屈辱中得到勝利。我們的勝利,或許也要從別人認為屈辱的境遇中去發現。 ─波登 有許多人,肩頭上壓著沈重的擔子,心中仍滿了喜樂,豈非可奇嗎?有許多人在受到逼迫攻擊之下,仍能得勝有餘,豈非可敬?有許多人身體破碎,仍保持著完好的信心,豈非可羨?他們的見證何等美好! ─喬懷德 人間的支柱都在動搖, 生命如在烈火中煎熬, 你是否不愧為基督信徒, 鎮定,自在而心無牢騷?

April 3 "Glorify ye the Lord in the fires."(Isa. 24:15.) MARK the little word "in" ! We are to honor Him in the trial─in that which is an affliction indeed and though there have been cases where God did not let His saints feel the fire, yet, ordinarily, fire hurts. But just here we are to glorify Him by our perfect faith in His goodness and love that has permitted all this to come upon us. And more than that, we are to believe that out of this is coming something more for His praise than could have come but for this fiery trial. We can only go through some fires with a large faith; little faith will fail. We must have the victory in the furnace. ─Margaret Bottome. A man has as much religion as he can show in times of trouble. The men who were cast into the fiery furnace came out as they went in─except their bonds. How often in some furnace of affliction God strikes them off! Their bodies were unhurt─their skin not even blistered. Their hair was unsinged, their garments not scorched, and even the smell of fire had not passed upon them. And that is the way Christians should come out of furnace trials─liberated from their bonds, but untouched by the flames. "Triumphing over them in it." (Col. 2:15.) That is the real triumph─triumphing over sickness, in it; triumphing over death, dying; triumphing over adverse circumstances, in them. Oh. believe me, there is a power that can make us victors in the strife. There are heights to be reached where we can look down and over the way we have come, and sing our song of triumph on this side of Heaven. We can make others regard us as rich, while we are poor, and make many rich in our poverty. Our triumph is to be in it. Christ's triumph was in His humiliation. Possibly our triumph, also, is to be made manifest in what seems to others humiliation. ─Margaret Bottome. Is there not something captivating in the sight of a man or a woman burdended with many tribulations and yet carrying a heart as sound as a bell? is there not something contagiously valorous in the vision of one who is greatly tempted, but is more than conqueror? Is it not heartening to see some pilgrim who is broken in body, but who retains the splendor of an unbroken patience? What a witness all this offers to the enduement of His grace! ─J. H. Jowett. "When each earthly prop gives under, And life seems a restless sea, Are you then a God-kept wonder, Satisfied and calm and free?"

四月三日 神的愛 「你要盡心,盡性,盡力,愛耶和華你的神。」申命記六章5節 神教導亞伯拉罕「甚麼叫作全心的相信神」,他的信心是那樣剛強,且將榮耀歸給神。摩西教導以色列民第一條且最大的誡命是:「要全心地愛神。」這第一條誡命,很自然地也就成了其他誡命的根源。其立場乃是神和人之間的關係:也就是那位滿有愛心的創造者,和照著祂的形像所造,且是祂施愛的對象之間的關係。這乃是一切事務該具備有不可缺少的要素。人的生命、命運和快樂全在於他能盡心盡力的愛神。摩西說:「耶和華……喜悅你的列祖,愛他們。」(申十15)這樣的一位神配得著人無限量的愛。我們一切的信仰,我們對神所有的信心和順服,以及我們的一生,都是因這思想而得力:我們要盡心盡力地愛神,神的兒女每一天主要的責任,就是活出這條誡命。 以色列人是多麼不能順服我們眾人所熟知的誡命。但是在摩西去世以前,當他說完了神因著他們的罪所要降於祂子民的審判後,他就使他們知道這應許:「耶和華你神必使你的心與你後裔的心受割禮。」不是人手所行的割禮,乃是基督在十字架上的割禮。(西二11)「好叫你盡心、盡性,愛耶和華你的神。」(申卅6另釋) 這個有福的應許乃是新約內容的首次提示。在此,耶利米曾預言律法要藉著聖靈寫在他們心裏,使他們不再離開神,且照著神的方式來行事為人。但是基督徒對於這點所明白的,是何等的少呢!他們是多麼容易安於這種想法:這是不可能。 讓我們來學這雙重的功課,神所要求的乃是這種完全的心:要盡我們所能的愛祂;這也是神永遠配得的,並且這種完全的心也是神——祂的名是可稱頌的——賜給我們且作工在我們裏面的。讓我們的全人在信心裏前來迎接、等候,並期望這應許的成全——以全心來愛神。這是神自己在我們裏面所要完成的。 「所賜給我們的聖靈,將神的愛澆灌在我們心裏。」聖靈使那全心愛祂的恩典,成為格外的確實與有福。

四月三日 巴不得你知道 「巴不得你在這日子,知道關係你平安的事!無奈這事現在是隱藏的,叫你的眼看不出來。」路加福音十九章42節 耶穌凱旋的進入耶路撒冷,合城都震動了;但是有個奇怪之神在那裡,就是法利賽教的傲慢,雖然具有宗教與保守性,但是是一座「粉飾的墳墓」。 我在現時,有甚麼瞎了我的眼呢?我支配性情的奇怪之神──不是可憎的怪物──乃是我自己的劣根性麼?神屢次使我與那奇怪之神面對面,我也屢次想投誠,但是未曾做到,我剛剛渡過危機,而又感覺我仍被那奇怪之神所操縱,見不著那關係我平安的事。我愈達到聖靈無阻礙的得著我們的所在,在神之前愈是增加了我們的定罪,這真是可怕的事。 「如果你知道」──神直接的說出來,同時耶穌替我們流淚,這些話含有可以咎責的責任;神要我們為那看不見的事負責。「這事現在是隱藏的,叫你的眼看不出來」──因為心裡從沒有屈服。「機會失掉,追悔不及」。神從不開啟曾經關閉的門,祂開啟別的門,但是祂提醒我們,尚有無須關閉的門,而我們卻關閉了;有些想像不應染污的,而我們卻染污了。不要懼怕神指點已往的事,讓記憶進行它的歷程吧!它是神的使者,帶給我們的是糾正和憂傷。神將要「把失去的機會」,變成將來的機緣。

四月三日 「……因為我的盼望是從祂而來」詩篇六十二篇5節 當我們相信某種祝福會來臨,我們必須有充滿信心的態度,並且在行事禱告時都像我們已經得到了祝福。我們必須以神已經給了我們請求那樣待祂,全心相信祂必會賜給我們所求的,而且會不斷地賜給我們,這才是相信的態度。 當一個年輕女孩一結婚之後,她立刻就應有一種新的態度,而且依這新態度處事。同樣的道理,當我們接受基督做我們的救主、潔淨的主、醫治的主和再來的主,祂期待我們立刻有一種承認祂能行這些事的態度。所以,我們應該盼望祂能成為我們所相信依靠的神。 你可以把所有憂慮、重擔帶到祂面前, 你能在禱告中告訴祂你所有的需要, 你能在最黑暗的時刻依靠祂。 祂能照顧, 所以你不需擔心, 信心能到達最高處, 直到我們高唱勝利者感恩的凱歌。 在救恩榮耀的城中, 神已經告訴我們,讚美乃是城門的鑰匙。
