1:1 奉 神旨意,作基督耶穌使徒的保羅,寫信給在以弗所的聖徒,就是在基督耶穌裏有忠心的人。 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints in Ephesus, (\f1 1:1 Some early manuscripts do not have|i in Ephesus|d.)the faithful(\f2 1:1 Or|i believers who are|d )in Christ Jesus:
1:2 願恩惠、平安從 神我們的父和主耶穌基督歸與你們! Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 1:3 願頌讚歸與我們主耶穌基督的父 神!他在基督裏曾賜給我們天上各樣屬靈的福氣: Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 1:4 就如 神從創立世界以前,在基督裏揀選了我們,使我們在他面前成為聖潔,無有瑕疵; For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 1:5 又因愛我們,就按著自己意旨所喜悅的,預定我們藉著耶穌基督得兒子的名分, he(\f3 1:5 Or|i sight in love. \V 5 |iHe|d) predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will-- 1:6 使他榮耀的恩典得著稱讚;這恩典是他在愛子裏所賜給我們的。 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. 1:7 我們藉這愛子的血得蒙救贖,過犯得以赦免,乃是照他豐富的恩典。 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace 1:8 這恩典是 神用諸般智慧聰明,充充足足賞給我們的; that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding. 1:9 都是照他自己所預定的美意,叫我們知道他旨意的奧祕, And he(\f4 1:9 Or|i us. With all wisdom and understanding, \V 9 |ihe|d) made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, 1:10 要照所安排的,在日期滿足的時候,使天上、地上、一切所有的都在基督裏面同歸於一。 0 to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment--to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ. 1:11 我們也在他裏面得〔得:或譚成〕了基業;這原是那位隨己意行、做萬事的,照著他旨意所預定的, In him we were also chosen, (\f5 1:11 Or|i were made heirs|d) having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, 1:12 叫他的榮耀從我們這首先在基督裏有盼望的人可以得著稱讚。 in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. 1:13 你們既聽見真理的道,就是那叫你們得救的福音,也信了基督,既然信他,就受了所應許的聖靈為印記。 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 1:14 這聖靈是我們得基業的憑據〔原文是質〕,直等到 神之民〔民:原文是產業〕被贖,使他的榮耀得著稱讚。 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession--to the praise of his glory. 1:15 因此,我既聽見你們信從主耶穌,親愛眾聖徒, For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, 1:16 就為你們不住地感謝 神。禱告的時候,常提到你們, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. 1:17 求我們主耶穌基督的 神,榮耀的父,將那賜人智慧和啟示的靈賞給你們,使你們真知道他, I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit(\f6 1:17 Or|i a spirit|d) of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. 1:18 並且照明你們心中的眼睛,使你們知道他的恩召有何等指望,他在聖徒中得的基業有何等豐盛的榮耀; I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, 1:19 並知道他向我們這信的人所顯的能力是何等浩大, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, 1:20 就是照他在基督身上所運行的大能大力,使他從死裏復活,叫他在天上坐在自己的右邊, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, 1:21 遠超過一切執政的、掌權的、有能的、主治的,和一切有名的;不但是今世的,連來世的也都超過了。 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. 1:22 又將萬有服在他的腳下,使他為教會作萬有之首。 And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, 1:23 教會是他的身體,是那充滿萬有者所充滿的。 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way. 本模組中文化由長島基督福音教會的Jack起始。多次經本人修改,2025年11月由AI協助更改加入朗讀功能,2026年加入搜尋「中、英」字皆可,顯示「黃底紅字」歡迎大家使用!! 荒漠甘泉五合一■ 中文荒漠甘泉(08月04日)
八月四日 「他們就把石頭挪開。耶穌舉目說:『父阿,我感謝你,因為你已經聽我。』」約翰福音十一章41節 這真是一個奇怪的、反常的次序:拉撒路還在墳墓裏,可是感謝已經先有了。我總以為感謝的時候,應當在大功告成,拉撒路復活以後;但是我們的主耶穌卻為著那尚未成就的事情感謝─感謝發生在恩典到臨之前,深信恩典已經在半途了。爭戰之前應當先唱勝利的凱歌!神蹟前面應當先有感謝! 十字軍出發啟行的時候,誰肯先唱勝利的凱歌呢?禱告的答應尚未來到之前,誰肯先唱感恩的詩歌呢?但是我們的主所留給我們的榜樣,並不是奇怪的、勉強的、沒有理由的。讚美在行神蹟的工作上實在非常重要的。神蹟由於靈力。靈力的大小是和信心成正比例的。 ─喬懷德 禱告的時候,沒有一件東西比讚美更能得神的喜悅,也沒有一件東西比讚美更能祝福禱告的人。有一次我在中國藉著讚美得到一個很大的祝福:我從家鄉接到很多不快樂的消息,焦慮密佈了我的全心。我禱告,焦慮並不輕減。我竭力忍住,事實上卻焦慮得更利害。正在那時候我出發到一處內地去,看見在一家傳道人住宅的牆上寫著「要感謝」三個大字。我就立即開口感謝,不一會,我的焦慮全都消散了,一點也沒有留下。啊,寫詩篇的人說得正對:「稱謝耶和華……這本為美事。」(詩九二1─3) ─富勒斯

August 4 "And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou heart me." (John 11:41.) THIS is a very strange and unusual order. Lazarus is still in the grave, and the thanksgiving precedes the miracle of resurrection. I thought that the thanksgiving would have risen when the great deed had been wrought, and Lazarus was restored to life again. But Jesus gives thanks for what He is about to receive. The gratitude breaks forth before the bounty has arrived, in the assurance that it is certainly on the way. The song of victory is sung before the battle has been fought. It is the sower who is singing the song of the harvest home. It is thanksgiving before the miracle! Who thinks of announcing a victory-psalm when the crusaders are just starting out for the field? Where can we hear the grateful song for the answer which has not yet been received? And after all, there is nothing strange or forced, or unreasonable in the Master's order. Praise is really the most vital perparatory ministry to the working of the miracles. Miracles are wrought by spiritual power. Spiritual power is always proportioned to our faith. —Dr. Jowett. PRAISE CHANGES THINGS Nothing so pleases God in connection with our prayer as our praise, and nothing so blesses the man who prays as the praise which he offers. I got a great blessing once in China in this connection. I had received bad and sad news from home, and deep shadows had covered my soul. I prayed, but the darkness did not vanish. I summoned myself to endure, but the darkness only deepened. Just then I went to an inland station and saw on the wall of the mission home these words: "Try Thanksgiving." I did, and in a moment every shadow was gone, not to return. Yes, the Psalmist was right, "It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord." ─Rev. Henry W. Frost.

八月四日 向世界釘死自己 「但我斷不以別的誇口,只誇我們主耶穌基督的十字架,因這十字架就我而論,世界已經釘在十字架上;就世界而論,我已經釘在十字架上。」加拉太書六章14節 為何使徒保羅在加拉太書二章中提到要與主同釘,而到了書信末尾又有更進一步的說明,他說只在基督裏誇口,並實際在生活中表示向世界釘死自己以脫離罪的權勢。當他說:「我已經與基督同釘十字架」,並非單指內在屬靈的真理,而且也是一個向世界及其誘惑有關的真實經歷。基督曾說過世界恨祂,但祂卻勝過世界;保羅知道曾將耶穌釘死的世界也要在他身上做同樣的工作。他自稱向著世界治死自己,世界對他而言也是致釘死而無能力的仇敵,他用這個方法來誇主耶穌的十字架,表明自己脫離世界的範疇。 這和現今舉世的基督徒有何等大的區別!他自然同意與罪和世界一刀兩斷;但由於世俗好友之因,旋即改變初衷,只要不公開犯罪,他們仍在一起盡情享樂。他們不知道世界的情慾和享樂是最危險的來源。 哦!基督徒啊!當世界釘死基督,你也在其內;當基督在十字架勝過世界,你也在其中。祂現在向你呼召,無論付出任何代價,都要向神及其國度為敵的世界治死老我,使得釘死十字架上的生命,保持你永遠得勝。 對於世界的享樂及吸引有何不同的關係,因為基督徒靠著聖靈說:「我已經與基督同釘十字架,釘死的基督活在我裏面!」讓我們迫切地求基督所憑藉,奉獻自己釘死在十字架上的聖靈啟示我們能瞭解「只誇主耶穌基督的十字架,對世界而言,我已經釘死在十字架上。」

八月四日 神是我們勇敢的同伴 「耶穌帶著十二個門徒。」路加福音十八章31節 神放心的信任我們人!你說──「但是祂揀選我,是祂的不智,因為我空無所有;毫無價值。」殊不知那正是祂揀選你的緣故。你只要以為自己有點用處,神就不能揀選你,因為你所求達的是自己的目的;至好是你讓祂領你了悟你自己的無能和脆弱,祂就揀選你和祂一同上耶路撒冷,那就是祂成功祂還沒有指示你的事。── 我們容易說,某人具有天生的才能,所以他能成為一個良好的基督徒。這實在不是資質的問題,卻是貧窮的問題,不是我們給出甚麼來,卻是神放進甚麼東西到我們的裡面,更不是天生的德行,品性,學識,經驗等問題──那都是無關緊要的。唯一且緊要的事,是我們依從神的催迫,變作祂的同伴(比較林前一26─30)。有資格做神同伴的人,就是那些了悟自己貧窮的人。凡想到對於神有用的人,神對他是無能為力的。基督徒們絕對不要為著自己的事而做事,我們要為神的事而做事。我們不了悟神的用意何在,但是無論情形怎樣,要保守與祂的關係。切不要讓甚麼事來損傷我們與神的關係;如果損傷了,則恢復原狀,費力更大,費時更多。基督徒最要緊的一件事,不是我們所做的工作,卻是我們所保持的關係和那關係所產生的情形。那就是神要我們所全力注意的,而我們所不願意的,也就是這一件。

八月四日 「如果,神的靈住在你們心裡,你們就不屬肉體,乃屬聖靈了。人若沒有基督的靈,就不是屬基督的」羅馬書八章9節 一個屬靈的人未必是一個為聖靈所充滿、有深度靈命的人。依據保羅的看法,應是:「如果神的靈住在你們心裡,你們就不屬肉體,乃屬聖靈了。」 一個新造的人的榮耀,不僅僅在於這個人靈裡的重生,更由於這個人適合神的內住。他會像一個孩子倚賴他的母親一樣地,倚靠神的愛子。事實上,最屬靈的情景,乃是完全的無助、倚靠,以及全然地擁有聖靈。當基督吹了一口氣使門徒受聖靈時,也就是他用自己的口把聖靈賜給他們的當兒,主耶穌已經把祂榮耀的冠冕賜給了一個新造的人。所以願聖靈完全得著我們,充滿我們的全人。
