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.

四月十五日 「我信靠你的話。」詩篇一一九篇42節 我們信神的話有多少,就是我們的信心有多少。信心與感覺、影像、可能性、眼見都無關。如果你們把它們與信心並列,我們就是不信神的話的話;因為信心用不著這種東西。信心單依靠神的話。當我們憑祂的話抓住祂的時候,我們的心就得到了安息。 神樂意鍛鍊我們的信心,為著我們個人的益處、教會的益處、世人的益處。但是這種鍛鍊,我們非但不歡迎.反常躲避。當試煉臨到我們的時候,我們應當這樣說:「我的天父把這試煉的杯放在我手中,為要叫我將來享受甘甜。」 試煉是信心的糧食,讓我們把我們自己交在我們天父的手中罷!因為祂樂意賜好處給祂的孩子。 不只試煉和困難能鍛鍊、加增我們的信心;讀經亦然。讀經使我們熟識神,與神成為至交,因為神在聖經中顯露、啟示祂的自己。 你能否說,神是可愛的神呢?如果你還不能,讓我們摯誠的心來勸你趕快求神給你造出讀經的嗜好來,好使你知道祂的溫柔、仁愛;好使你能說:神是多好!神的心何等歡喜善待祂的兒女! 我們越進入這種地步,我們越願意把我們自己交託在神手中,越滿意祂對於我們的一切處置。這樣,當試煉來到的時候,我們就會這樣說:我們的內心,對此境界愈接近,我們就越願把自己交託在神手中,越是滿意祂對於我們的一切處置,這樣,當試煉來到的時候,我們就會這樣說: 「我要等待,看神這一次將要給我甚麼好處。無論如何,祂必叫我得益。」如此,我們就能在世人面前作美好的見證,同時也能堅固別的信徒的信心。 ─慕勒

April 15 "I trust in thy word." (Psa. 119:42.) JUST in proportion in which we believe that God will do just what He has said, is our faith strong or weak. Faith has nothing to do with feelings, or with impressions, with improbabilities, or with outward appearances. If we desire to couple them with faith, then we are no longer resting on the Word of God because faith needs nothing of the kind. Faith rests on the naked Word of God. When we take Him at His Word, the heart is at peace. God delights to exercise faith, first for blessing in our own souls, then for blessing in the Church at large, and also for those without. But this exercise we shrink from instead of welcoming. When trials come, we should say: "My Heavenly Father puts this cup of trial into my hands, that I may have something sweet afterwards." Trials are the food of faith. Oh, let us leave ourselves in the hands of our Heavenly Father! It is the joy of His heart to do good to all His children. But trials and difficulties are not the only means by which faith is exercised and thereby increased. There is the reading of the Scriptures, that we may by them acquaint ourselves with God as He has revealed Himself in His Word. Are you able to say, from the acquaintance you have made with God, that he is a lovely Being? If not, let me affectionately entreat you to ask God to bring you to this, that you may admire His gentleness and kindness, that you may be able to say how good He is, and what a delight it is to the heart of God to do good to His children. Now the nearer we come to this in our inmost souls, the more ready we are to leave ourselves in His hands, satisfied with all His dealings with us. And when trial comes, we shall say: "I will wait and see what good God will do to me by it, assured He will do it." This we shall bear an honorable testimony before the world, and thus we shall strengthen the hands of others. ─George Mueller.

四月十五日 在基督裏 「到那日你們就知道我在父裏面,你們在我裏面,我也在你們裏面。」約翰福音十四章20節 我們的主曾說到祂的生命是在父裏面:「你們當信我,我在父裏面,父在我裏面。」祂與父並非相鄰的兩個人,祂們乃是在彼此裏面。雖然主耶穌降世為人,祂仍住在父裏面。祂所作的一切,都是父在祂裏面所作的。 這個神聖屬天的生命,就是基督在神裏面,或者是神在基督裏的那個神聖生命。它乃是一幅圖畫,也是一個保證,說出我們在地上、在基督裏的生命該有的情形。在基督裏就著神聖生命的本質來說,子是在父裏面;而且我們也必須知道,我們是在基督裏,並且要一直活在這樣的信心中。這樣我們就會認識,父怎樣在基督裏作工,基督也照樣要在我們裏面作工,只要我們相信我們是在祂裏面,並且把我們自己降服於祂的能力。 子怎樣等候父;父又藉著祂來作工,照樣門徒們也要在禱告中,把他們在地上所要作的事告訴主,祂就會成就。他們在祂裏面的生命,乃是祂在父裏面生命的反映。正如父在祂裏面作工,是因為祂活在父裏面,基督也照樣因為他們活在祂裏面,而在他們裏面作工。但是除非聖靈降臨,這件事無法實現。為此他們必須等候,直到他們得著了從上頭來的能力。為此他們也要藉著天天的交通和禱告住在祂裏面,使祂可以在他們裏面作祂所曾應許過的更大的工作。 教會是何等的不明白,她得著能力的祕訣乃與基督一樣,就是住在父和祂的愛裏。服事主的人何等不明白,他們有一個偉大的目標,就是天天並時時住在基督裏,這乃是他們配被主用來為祂得著靈魂(傳福音)的惟一途徑。若有人問說,講臺今日所失去的「秘訣」是甚麼?那就是:「到那日。」——就是當聖靈充滿你們的心時——「你們就知道我在父裏面,你們在我裏面。」 可稱頌的主啊,我們懇求您,教導我們毫無保留地把自己降服於聖靈,並能每天格外注意等候祂的教導,使我們也能知道這有福的秘訣,乃是您怎樣在父裏面,父又藉著您來作工,照樣我們是在您裏面,您也藉著我們來作工。 滿有恩典的主啊!我們謙卑地、熱切地懇求您,在所有尋求要為您作工的兒女身上,求您樂意傾倒下施恩和懇求的靈來,使我們若不得著聖靈的充滿,就無法安息。

四月十五日 集中的歧途 「只有邱壇還沒有從以色列中廢去,然而亞撒的心一生誠實。」歷代志下十五章17節 亞撒外表的服從,不見得完善;但大體上是過得去的。當心你所說的:「啊!那是不甚關緊要的。」那在你不關緊要的,也許與神極關緊要。對於神的子女沒有甚麼輕微的事。我們之中有些人,花多少時間,要神教我們一件事呢?祂長久忍耐。你說:「我知道我與神有正當的關係;」但是邱壇依然存在,還有幾部份你沒有完全服從。你斷言你的心與神有正當的關係,然而在你的生活中,尚有懷疑的成分麼?無論何時起了懷疑,就把那事趕快的放棄。沒有不緊要的事。 有甚麼關係你肉體與智性的事,是你完全忽略的呢?你雖大體過得去,但是你有白璧之玷;在集中的路線上,有了歧途。你在靈性集中上不需要休息,像你的心在跳動上,不需要休息一樣。你不能把道德放下,而保持道德,也不能把靈性上的事放下而保持靈性。神要你完全歸祂,意思是說,你得時時留心你適合祂不適合祂,也要有充分修養的時間。我們之中有些人盼望在兩分鐘內,爬上無數的階梯,那是誤入歧途了。

四月十五日 「使基督因你們的信,住在你們心裡,叫你們的愛心,有根有基。」以弗所書三章17節 在美國西部和德州各處有一種奇特的灌木,這種豆科灌木有時被稱為蚊子樹,它們看起來細長而苗條,有如柳枝。儘管表面上它們彷彿沒有任何工業價值,但是它們的根很特別,而且在地下像昂貴的木料不斷地延伸。因為這種根擁有能承擔任何情況的特質,人們曾經以其為寶貴的鋪路建材。據說聖安東尼整個城市的街道,過去是用這些灌木的根建成的。 這種豆科灌木使我聯想到一些不在外表上求表現的基督徒,因為他們的成長主要是往下紮根、在神的深處裡面建造。這些基督徒也正是神重用的棟樑,更是築成神的城市的材料。當世上一切的事都崩潰粉碎,甚至被埋沒遺忘之後,神的城市將永遠地站立。 更深、更深地, 讓活水湧流, 願聖靈、救恩的泉源, 使我認識您的豐富。
