1:1 耶穌基督的僕人,雅各的弟兄猶大,寫信給那被召、在父 神裏蒙愛、為耶穌基督保守的人。 Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James, b Tocthose who have been called, who are loved by God the Father and kept by(\f1 1 Or|i for|d; or|i in|d) Jesus Christ:
1:2 願憐恤、平安、慈愛多多的加給你們。 Mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance. 1:3 親愛的弟兄啊,我想盡心寫信給你們,論我們同得救恩的時候,就不得不寫信勸你們,要為從前一次交付聖徒的真道竭力的爭辯。 Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt I had to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints. 1:4 因為有些人偷著進來,就是自古被定受刑罰的,是不虔誠的,將我們 神的恩變作放縱情慾的機會,並且不認獨一的主宰─我們〔或譯和我們〕主耶穌基督。 For certain men whose condemnation was written about(\f2 4 Or|i men who were marked out for condemnation|d) long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are godless men, who change the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord. 1:5 從前主救了他的百姓出埃及地,後來就把那些不信的滅絕了。這一切的事,你們雖然都知道,我卻仍要提醒你們。 Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that the Lord(\f3 5 Some early manuscripts|i Jesus|d) delivered his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not believe. 1:6 又有不守本位、離開自己住處的天使,主用鎖鍊把他們永遠拘留在黑暗裏,等候大日的審判。 And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their own home--these he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day. 1:7 又如所多瑪、蛾摩拉和周圍城邑的人,也照他們一味地行淫,隨從逆性的情慾,就受永火的刑罰,作為鑑戒。 In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire. 1:8 這些做夢的人也像他們污穢身體,輕慢主治的,毀謗在尊位的。 In the very same way, these dreamers pollute their own bodies, reject authority and slander celestial beings. 1:9 天使長米迦勒為摩西的屍首與魔鬼爭辯的時候,尚且不敢用毀謗的話罪責他,只說:「主責備你吧!」 But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring a slanderous accusation against him, but said, <<The Lord rebuke you!>> 1:10 但這些人毀謗他們所不知道的。他們本性所知道的事與那沒有靈性的畜類一樣,在這事上竟敗壞了自己。 0 Yet these men speak abusively against whatever they do not understand; and what things they do understand by instinct, like unreasoning animals--these are the very things that destroy them. 1:11 他們有禍了!因為走了該隱的道路,又為利往巴蘭的錯謬裏直奔,並在可拉的背叛中滅亡了。 Woe to them! They have taken the way of Cain; they have rushed for profit into Balaam's error; they have been destroyed in Korah's rebellion. 1:12 這樣的人在你們的愛席上與你們同吃的時候,正是礁石〔或譯:玷污〕他們作牧人,只知餧養自己,無所懼怕;是沒有雨的雲彩,被風飄蕩;是秋天沒有果子的樹,死而又死,連根被拔出來; These men are blemishes at your love feasts, eating with you without the slightest qualm--shepherds who feed only themselves. They are clouds without rain, blown along by the wind; autumn trees, without fruit and uprooted--twice dead. 1:13 是海裏的狂浪,湧出自己可恥的沫子來;是流蕩的星,有墨黑的幽暗為他們永遠存留。 They are wild waves of the sea, foaming up their shame; wandering stars, for whom blackest darkness has been reserved forever. 1:14 亞當的七世孫以諾,曾預言這些人說:「看哪,主帶著他的千萬聖者降臨, Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men: <<See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones 1:15 要在眾人身上行審判,證實那一切不敬虔的人,所妄行一切不敬虔的事,又證實不敬虔之罪人所說頂撞他的剛愎話。」 to judge everyone, and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly acts they have done in the ungodly way, and of all the harsh words ungodly sinners have spoken against him.>> 1:16 這些人是私下議論,常發怨言的,隨從自己的情慾而行,口中說誇大的話,為得便宜諂媚人。 These men are grumblers and faultfinders; they follow their own evil desires; they boast about themselves and flatter others for their own advantage. 1:17 親愛的弟兄啊,你們要記念我們主耶穌基督之使徒從前所說的話。 But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. 1:18 他們曾對你們說過,末世必有好譏誚的人隨從自己不敬虔的私慾而行。 They said to you, <<In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.>> 1:19 這就是那些引人結黨、屬乎血氣、沒有聖靈的人。 These are the men who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit. 1:20 親愛的弟兄啊,你們卻要在至聖的真道上造就自己,在聖靈裏禱告, But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit. 1:21 保守自己常在 神的愛中,仰望我們主耶穌基督的憐憫,直到永生。 Keep yourselves in God's love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life. 1:22 有些人存疑心,你們要憐憫他們; Be merciful to those who doubt; 1:23 有些人你們要從火中搶出來,搭救他們;有些人你們要存懼怕的心憐憫他們,連那被情慾沾染的衣服也當厭惡。 snatch others from the fire and save them; to others show mercy, mixed with fear--hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh. 1:24 那能保守你們不失腳、叫你們無瑕無疵、歡歡喜喜站在他榮耀之前的我們的救主─獨一的 神, To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy-- 1:25 願榮耀、威嚴、能力、權柄,因我們的主耶穌基督歸與他,從萬古以前並現今,直到永永遠遠。阿們。 to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore!

三月十四日 「摩西就挨近神所在的幽暗之中。」出埃及記廿章21節 神今天仍有祂隱藏的祕密,向聰明通達人藏起來。可是你不必怕它們;儘管在神面前接受你所不解的東西;忍耐等候。不久祂要指示你黑暗中的寶貝,隱密中的榮耀。 不要怕進前面的黑雲。神在其中。「有火煉的試驗臨到你們,不要以為奇怪,(似乎是遭遇非常的事)倒要歡喜;因為你們是與基督一同受苦。」(彼前四 12、13)當你感到孤單的時候,須知神在咫尺。祂在黑雲中,等候你進去親近祂。 黑雲罩上了你的生命, 這種遭遇, 可怕陰沈, 它預示風雨來臨。 雲漸漸迷漫開來, 一陣緊一陣, 地暗天昏, 雲中卻隱藏著天上的神。 黑雲罩上了你的生命, 這是耶和華的凱旋車, 載著祂前來給你溫存, 雲是祂的面紗, 祂的衣襟。 你受不住那樣的光輝, 所以要遮掩祂的聖容。 黑雲罩上了你的生命, 何等可怕的考驗, 如失去了可愛的親人, 又如威脅更如誘惑, 你將不知所措, 心迷神昏, 但雲中卻隱藏著天上的神。 黑雲罩上了你的生命, 你是否遇上了衰老病痛和死亡的陰雲? 這些雲將皆在你奄奄一息時來到, 正像駕舟歸航, 別怕港口黑暗; 死亡之雲雖然寒冷陰沈, 終將鍍上金邊, 逐漸光明, 神就在這雲裏來臨。 某醫師一天站在一座高山頂上,觀看山下的陣雨;他看見一頭鷹衝出黑雲,向上高飛,身上帶著的水珠,在日光下閃爍,好似金鋼鑽一般美麗。如果山下沒有陣雨,牠必是仍在谷中。人生的苦難使我們向上近神。 ─選

March 14 "Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was." (Exod. 20:21.) GOD has still His hidden secrets, hidden from the wise and prudent. Do not fear them; be content to accept things that you cannot understand; wait patiently. Presently He will reveal to you the treasures of dardness, the riches of the glory of the mystery. Mystery is only the veil of God's face. Do not be afraid to enter the cloud that is settling down on your life. God is in it. the other side is radiant with His glory. "Think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you; but rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's suffierings." When you seem loneliest and most forsaken, God is nigh. He is in the dark cloud. Plunge into the blackness of its darkness without flinching; under the shrouding curtain of His pavilion you will find God awaiting you. ─Selected. "Hast thou a cloud? Something that is dark and full of dread; A messenger of tempest overhead? A something that is darkening the sky; A something growing darker bye and bye; A something that thou fear'st will burst at last; A cloud that doth a deep, long shadow cast, God cometh in that cloud. Hast thou a cloud? It is Jehovah's triumph car: in this He rideth to thee, o'er the wide abyss. It is the robe in which He wraps His form; For He doth gird Him with the flashing storm. It is the veil in which He hides the light Of His fair face, too dazzling for thy sight. God cometh in that cloud. Hast thou a cloud? A trial that is terrible to thee? A black temptation threatening to see? A loss of some dear one long thine own? A mist, a veiling, bringing the unknown? A mystery that unsubstantial seems: A cloud between thee and the sun's bright beams? God cometh in that cloud. Hast thou a cloud? A sickness─weak old age─distress and death? These clouds will scatter at thy last faint breath. Fear not the clouds that hover o'er thy barque, Making the harbour's entrance dire and dark; The cloud of death, though misty, chill and cold, Will yet grow radiant with a fringe of gold. GOD cometh in that cloud." As Dr. C. stood on a high peak of the Rocky Mountains watching a storm raging below him, an eagle came up through the clouds, and soared away towards the sun and the water upon him glistened in the sunlight like diamonds. Had it not been for the storm he might have remained in the valley. The sorrows of life cause us to rise towards God.

三月十四日 禱告的所在 「這些人……都同心合意地恆切禱告。」使徒行傳一章14節 基督臨離世前曾囑咐祂的教會四個要點:「要等候父所應許的。」「聖靈要降在你們身上,你們就必得著能力。」「你們要為我作見證。」「在耶路撒冷直到地極。」 同心恆切的禱告、聖靈的能力、為活的基督作活的見證人,從耶路撒冷直到地極——這些才是新約中的真正福音、服事,及教會的標記。一個同心意禱告的教會,一種充滿了聖靈的服事,為著活的基督作活的見證的一班人,報好消息給地上的每個人——這才是基督所建立的教會,也唯有這樣的教會才能勝過全世界。 基督升天之後,使徒們立刻知道他們的工作是甚麼,那就是繼續同心合意地恆切禱告,被基督的愛及聖靈捆在一起成為一體。就是這樣他們才得到奇妙的能力,從天上的神而臨到世上的人。 他們的責任乃是同心合意恆切地禱告,等候聖靈的能力;就是從高天所賜下的能力,使他們能直到地極為基督作見證。一個禱告的教會,一個被聖靈充滿的教會,一個見證的教會,以全地作見證的目標及範圍─這才是一個耶穌基督的教會。 只要教會守住這個特性,它就有能力得勝。但若她落到世界影響之下,那麼她將失去那屬天超然的美麗及能力。禱告將多麼不忠實,聖靈的工作也是那麼微弱,基督的見證流於形式,對於直到地極的託付何其不忠! 禱告: 可稱頌的主耶穌,施恩予您的教會,求您賜下恆切禱告的靈像以往一樣,使您的教會能證實那與您同在的能力與教會同在,並為您作見證,使整個的世界都服在您的腳下。阿們。

三月十四日 順從 「順從誰,就作誰的奴僕。」羅馬書六章16節 想要察覺那支配我的權柄,第一件事,是要認可我自己要像這樣的被支配。如果我做我自己的奴僕,那我自己是應當負責的;因為我已經轉回頭來服從了自己。同樣,如果我順從神,那麼我應該自動的歸向祂。 在幼年時代歸順自私的人,自會覺得自私是世上最不易擺脫的事。人類心靈裡沒有力量打破所養成的奴性。在一秒鐘中,你順從了慾念(須記取慾念的意思:「我要立時得到」,無論是肉慾是意慾),僅僅只有一次,也許你咒詛自己不該如此,然而你是做了那件事的奴隸。要想掙脫,人是沒有力量的,只有救贖之力。你得完全甘心,依從那能擊退支配你的東西的一位,就是主耶穌基督。「祂用膏膏我,叫我傳福音給貧窮的人」。 我們在小事上感覺如此──「啊!我能隨隨便便改掉這個習慣。」你不能,你會覺得習慣絕對支配了你,因為你是甘心依從它。容易說──「祂能破除種種桎梏」,而同時自己作自己的奴僕。要想破除人類生活的任何奴性,除依從耶穌外,別無他法。

三月十四日 「我們原是祂的工作……」以弗所書二章10節 主耶穌差遣我們事奉祂,不是藉著我們自己的能力,乃是靠祂的來源和力量。以弗所書二章10節說:「我們原是祂的工作,在基督耶穌裡造成的,為要叫我們行善,就是神所豫備叫我們行的。」換言之,我們並不需豫備什麼,只要隨時依靠基督,就能應付生命中任何情況的需要。 我們必須靠信心接受神所賜的力量,繼續為祂工作,相信祂與我們同在,並且是這住在我們裡面的智慧、信心、愛、禱告、力量,以及我們工作所需的恩惠和恩賜。在信心這件事上,我們或許覺得軟弱、無助,甚至感覺不到能力的存在。然而只要我們相信祂,繼續前進,祂就必成為我們的能力,讓我們結果子。 我們最有益的事奉,乃是能在曠野中結出果實來,因為那果實是在最不毛之地所生出來的。何西阿書二章14—15節說:「後來我必勸導他,領他到曠野……他從那裡出來,我必賜他葡萄園……。」所以讓我們學習靠信心事奉、與主同行。那麼將來我們就能收穫信心的果實,看到許多得救的靈魂。而我們生命中所結的果實,更會在永恆中完全留存下來。
