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.

四月一日 「祂雖殺我,然而我還要信靠祂。」希伯來書十三章15節(直譯) 「因為我知道我所信的是誰。」提摩太后書一章12節(直譯) 我決不懷疑, 雖然我的船隊在海上漂泊顛簸, 帆檣破碎。 相信那從不失誤的神之手, 將轉災禍為福祉充沛, 在失望中, 我仍高呼信靠神, 縱然惋惜著船的破碎狼狽。 我決不懷疑, 雖然祈求的一切, 蒼天還沒有給我回音, 相信拒絕實現這些願望, 乃是出於全智者的哀矜, 有時雖不禁愁悶, 絲毫未損我至誠不變的信心。 我決不懷疑, 悲哀雖如雨降潮漲, 困難群集, 像蜜蜂圍聚蜂房。 相信要達成我爭取的崇高目標, 唯有傷痛和苦難, 纔能擔當, 雖在十字架下呻吟號呼, 將從慘痛失喪中獲得更大報償。 決不懷疑, 我的信心碇泊穩妥, 如堅固巨艇, 能受任何風浪, 絕不氣餒, 有的是毅力與勇敢, 足以面對那禍患莫測的海洋, 縱然犧牲塵世生命, 祗要一息尚存, 「決不懷疑」, 讓這呼聲播揚。 人生如渡洋海,不免遭遇風浪。一位老於航行者說道:「當浪高如山,風疾如火時,惟一的辦法,就是將船停在一個地方,讓它一直留在那裏。」 在基督徒的生命中也是如此。有時像保羅一樣,「我們被風浪逼得甚急……太陽和星辰多日不顯露,又有狂風大浪催逼,我們得救的指望就都絕了。」(徒廿七18─20)在這樣的光景中,我們只能作一件事:將自己停在一個地方。 那時候,理由不能幫助我們;竭力掙扎,也不能產生效果;已往的經驗,不能給我們亮光;甚至禱告,也得不著安慰。我們只有一個方法,就是安息我們自己在一個地方,一直留在那裏。 我們只能安息在神的胸懷中;來的無論是狂風、暴雨、駭浪、怒濤、轟雷、閃電、濃霧、冰山……我們只要緊緊抓住舵柄─—神的信實、誓約、和在基督耶穌裏不止息的愛—─好了。 ─傅勒 神的恩典不能使我們逃避風浪; 卻能使我們經過風浪; 不能保我們不遇危險, 卻能保我們穩到彼岸。

April 1 "Though he slay me, yet will I trust him." (Job 13:15.) "For I know whom I have believed."(2 Tim. 1:12.) "I will not doubt, though all my prayers return, Unanswered from the still, white realm above; I will believe it is an all-wise love, Which has refused these things for which I yearn; And though at times I cannot keep from grieving, Yet the pure ardor of my fixed believing Undimmed shall burn. "I will not doubt, though all my ships at sea, Come drifting home with broken masts and sails; I will believe the Hand which never fails, From seeming evil worketh good for me. And though I weep because those sails are tattered, Still will I cry, while my best hopes lie shattered: `I trust in Thee.' "I will not doubt, though sorrows fall like rain, And troubles swarm like bees about a hive. I will believe the heights for which I strive, Are only reached by anguish and by pain: And though I groan and writhe beneath my crosses. I yet shall see through my severest losses The greater gain. "I will not doubt. Well anchored is this faith, Like some staunch ship, my soul braves every gale; So strong its courage that it will not quail, To breast the mighty unknown sea of death. Oh, may I cry, though body parts with spirit, `I do not doubt, so listening worlds may hear it, With my last breath." "In fierce storms," said an old seaman, "we must do one thing; there is only one way: we must put the ship in a certain position and keep her there." This, Christian, is what you must do. Sometimes, like Paul, you can see neither sun nor stars, and no small tempest lies on you; and then you can do but one thing; there is only one way. Reason cannot help you; past experiences give you no light. Even prayer fetches no consolation. Only a single course is left. You must put your soul in one position and keep it there. You must stay upon the Lord; and come what may─winds, waves, cross-seas, thunder, lightning, frowning rocks, roaring breakers─no matter what, you must lash yourself to the helm, and hold fast your confidence in God's faithfulness, His covenant engagement, His everlasting love in Christ Jesus. ─Richard Fuller.

四月一日 神的形像 「神說,我們要照著我們的形像,按著我們的樣式造人。」創世記一章26節 在這節經文中,我們看見關於人類的第一個思想——他的源頭和定命完全是神聖的。神從事一件極偉大的工作,要在祂神聖的榮耀裏把一個不是神的受造之物,作成完全像祂一樣。神是要人完全依靠祂而活著,並且直接地、不斷地從祂自己得到一切出自於神的聖潔和祝福。神的榮耀、聖潔和愛本來就是要住在人裏面,並且藉著他照耀出來。 當罪完成了它可怕的工作,並損壞了神的形像時,在伊甸樂園裏,神就應許女人的後裔要來成全祂的旨意。「祂(神的兒子)是神榮耀所發的光輝,是神本體的真像。」(來一3)就是這位神子要成為人子,神的計劃因祂得以實現,神的形像要在人的樣式中顯明出來。新約接續了這個創造的思想,並且說到那些人乃是「神預先定下模成祂兒子的模樣;」「這新人是照著神的形像造的;」又應許說:「我們知道主若顯現,我們必要像祂,因為必得見祂的真體。」 在神永遠的旨意和其實現之間,關於我們在地上的生活,神給我們一個奇妙的應許:「我們眾人既……看見主的榮光……就變成主的形狀,榮上加榮,如同從主的靈變成的。」(林後三18) 關於這作事,保羅在前面經文中曾提過:「何況那屬靈的職事,……因這極大的榮光,……豈不更有榮光麼?」我們應當記這些應許的經文,使它成為我們每人在天天的生活中確實的經歷。這是那些尊敬基督為那位得榮耀者的人,才能有的經歷。讓我們的心注視那顯在基督身上,神形像的榮耀;確信聖靈要一天過一天、榮上加榮,把我們改變成神的形像。哦,我的魂哪!要堅定不移地相信,這應許就在你基督徒的生活中成為實際。那位照著自己形像創造人的全能的神,現今正在作成祂的旨意:就是藉著聖靈的大能,要把你們改變成基督耶穌的形像。 「你們當以基督耶穌的心為心。」「我給你們作了榜樣,叫你們照著我向你們所作的去作。」「求主加增我們的信心。」

四月一日 有心待人或無心待人 「……聖靈照神的旨意替聖徒祈求……基督耶穌……也替我們祈求。」羅馬書八章27、34節 基督「長遠活著,替他們祈求。」「……聖靈照著神的旨意替聖徒祈求」。我們成為代求人,還有甚麼可以辯的呢?我們活著,對於我們的同胞有這種緊要的關係麼?我們以代求的工作為事,如同聖靈所教導的神的兒女麼?先說我們的環境吧──我們的家庭,我們的事業,我們的祖國,自今所感觸我們和別人的危機──這些事是在壓碎我們麼?這些事是在愚弄我們遠離神,使我們沒有時間去敬拜祂麼?那麼我們應當停歇一下,與神發生生活的關係,使我們得以維持替人代求的關係,俾使神行出奇妙的事工來。 當心你不要因為渴想實行神的旨意而跑到神前面!我們在諸多的活動中,跑到祂的前面,因此我們對於人和各種困難的重擔,使我們不敬拜祂,也不替人代求。如果重擔一朝來到我們身上,而我們沒有敬拜的態度,不但發生我們對於神的硬心,而且我們的心靈,也感覺失望。神不斷的把我們介紹給與我們沒有關係的人,如果我們不敬拜神,我們就很自然的不以心待他們,給與他們一種刺激的經句,或將神的旨意草率的向他們說說,就走開了。一個不以心待人的基督徒,必是使我們主的感覺悲傷的。 我們是與我們的主和聖靈一同站在代求的路線上麼?

四月一日 「又要將祂豐盛的榮耀,彰顯在那蒙憐憫早預備得榮耀的器皿上。」羅馬書九章23節 天父正在豫備我們成為得著永恆榮耀的器皿。適合在廚房用的器皿遲早會被放置到廚房裡,適合擺在藝術陳列館或是接待室的器皿,終究也會變成藝術展覽品。 我們適合作什麼樣的器皿呢?是做垃圾桶,專門蒐集別人告訴我們的廢話?還是做一個花瓶,裝滿萬王之王殿中芬芳的花朵?還是做一個多弦的豎琴,能奏出美麗的弦律,和祂愛及讚美的和弦?每一個器皿都有其適用的地方,讓我們預備做合用的器皿。 屬天的日子是像基督的日子, 屬天的亮光就是祂。 所以讓我們走在祂的身邊, 使我們的日子像屬天的日子, 屬天的日子是無止盡的, 是永恆的。 所以讓我們的生命及事奉, 能承擔將來屬天的日子。 主啊! 求您與我們同行, 走過所有的日子。 讓我們與您同行, 直到您的旨意行在地上, 如同行在天上。
