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!

二月廿六日 「我的恩典是彀你用的。」哥林多後書十二章9節(直譯) 有一天晚上,我整天工作之後,騎馬回家。路上我極感疲乏,差不多要馬上倒下來;忽然之間,一節聖經像閃電一般地照在我的心中:「我的恩典是夠你用的」到家之後,我就在聖經的原文中查考,發現它的語氣是:「我的恩典是夠你用的」;我就對主說:「主啊,我信,我信您的恩典是夠我用的;」此時裏面的喜樂爆發出來,成為歡笑。直到那晚,我纔知道不信神夠用的恩典是何等可笑,亦復可憐。這猶如海洋中一條口渴的小魚,不敢喝水,深怕把水喝乾了;雖然海洋對牠說:「小魚兒儘量喝罷!我的水是夠你喝的。」但是牠仍然不敢。這又好比七個豐年之後,倉廩中一隻小鼠,不敢喫食,深怕以後要餓死;雖然約瑟對牠說:「小鼠兒,儘量吃罷!我的穀粒是夠你喫的。」但是牠仍然不敢。這也像一個人,在高山上,對自己說:「我每年呼吸這許多空氣,我怕我會把空氣中的氧氣吸盡罷。」雖然大氣對他說:「可憐的人啊,儘量吸罷!我的氧氣是夠你呼吸的。」但是他仍不敢。哦,弟兄們,讓我們每一個都作信心的偉人!小信心會帶你的靈到天上去,大信心會帶天到你的靈裏來。 ─司布真 祂的恩典, 偉大得足夠應付大災難, 席捲靈魂的驚波險濤, 窒息生命的暴風怒潮, 不能控制的急雨狂焰。 祂的恩典, 偉大得也夠袪除小麻煩 急躁不寧, 如坐針氈, 疑慮榮心, 如蠅附羶, 憂戚如焚, 獨夜自煎。 ─富林德 神替我們在天上的銀行中存了無數量的款子,等待我們用信心任意支取,讓我們放膽前去支取罷。

February 26 "My grace is sufficient for thee." (2 Cor. 12:9.) THE other evening I was riding home after a heavy day's work. I felt very wearied, and sore depressed, when swiftly, and suddenly as a lightning flash, that text came to me, "My grace is sufficient for thee." I reached home and looked it up in the original, and at last it came to me in this way, "MY grace is sufficient for thee"; and I said, "I should think it is, Lord," and burst out laughing. I never fully understood what the holy laughter of Abraham was until then. It seemed to make unbelief so absurd. It was as though some little fish, being very thirsty, was troubled about drinking the river dry, and Father Thames said, "Drink away, little fish, my stream is sufficient for thee." Or, it seemed after the seven years of plenty, a mouse feared it might die of famine; and Joseph might say, "Cheer up, little mouse, my granaries are sufficient for thee." Again, I imagined a man away up yonder, in a lofty mountain, saying to himself, "I breathe so many cubic feet of air every year, I fear I shall exhaust the oxygen in the atmosphere," but the earth might say, "Breathe away, O man, and fill the lungs ever, my atmosrhere is sufficient for thee." Oh, brethren, be great believers! Little faith will bring your souls to Heaven, but great faith will bring Heaven to your souls. ─C. H. Spurgeon. His grace is great enough to meet the great things─ The crashing waves that overwhelm the soul, The roaring winds that leave us stunned and breathless, The sudden storms beyond our life's control. His grace is great enough to meet the small things─ The little pin-prick troubles that annoy, The insect worries, buzzing and persistent, The squeaking wheels that grate upon our joy. ─Annie Johnson Flint. There is always a large balance to our credit in the bank of Heaven waiting for our exercise of faith in drawing it. Draw heavily upon His resources.

二月廿六日 詩篇 「您的言語在我上膛何等甘美,在我口中比蜜更甜。」詩篇一一九篇103節 本書是要幫助我們去敬拜神。在全部聖經六十六卷裡,詩篇似乎是特別為著這個目標而寫的;其他各卷,是偏於歷史、教訓或應用方面。但是詩篇能帶領我們進入至聖所,在那裡享受與神相交的福分,這是被聖靈感動寫出的一卷敬拜的書。 你若要每個早晨真的遇見神,並用心靈和誠實敬拜祂,你就需要讓你的心充滿了詩篇裡面神的話語。 你讀詩篇的時候,可將該經文中的「耶和華」「神」和一切代表神的字,如「我」「您」「祂」的旁邊劃以紅線。這樣,能幫助你將詩篇裡的意念和神連結,這位神就是禱告的對象。當你不畏難、不嫌麻煩地將關於神的不同名字都劃出來的時候,你就要看見,本來頗難領會的章節,現在都要發出亮光來了。這樣一劃,便使神成為你中心的思想,帶領你有新的敬拜。將這些話從你的嘴裡向神說出。你的信心就要重新得以堅固,並能體會神如何是你在各種環境中的幫助和力量。 這詩篇在舊約時代,如何為聖靈所用,教導神的子民去禱告;照樣,今天也藉著聖靈的能力,教導我們與神同在。 打開詩篇一一九篇碰著「耶和華」和「您」的時候,就劃出來。你就要驚奇地發現,這些字在每一節聖經裡,總要碰著一次!或者不止一次。讓我們思想:在詩篇的字句裡,所遇見的神,就是那賜給我們律法,並使我們能遵守的神。這樣,詩篇就要成為你所喜愛的,你也要發現這裡的禱告和教訓,能使你繼續向神而去,住在祂能力和慈愛的祝福裡面。 「我何等愛慕您的律法,終日不住地思想。」(詩一一九97)

二月廿六日 懷疑耶穌的理由不足 「先生沒有打水的器具。」約翰福音四章11節 「神的道雖是高深,但祂未必期望我在生活中一一行出來!」我們常以為耶穌基督和祂的教訓不比我們的見識高明──「你高超的理想,印象在我們心中,但是與現實的世界接觸,覺得不能見諸實行。」我們每個人有時是這樣想。這些對於耶穌的懷疑,起自擺在我們面前的那些奇怪的問題,就是我們討論神事工的時候所發生的問題──「你們從那裡得錢?你們的事情怎樣安排呢?」就是我們告訴耶穌,我們的情形也是祂難於解決的。「倚靠主,」固然容易,但是一個人要生活。耶穌沒有甚麼東西取水──「從何能給我們這些東西哩!」當心你這些自欺的話──「我不懷疑耶穌,只懷疑我自己。」我們之中,沒有人懷疑自己;我們十二分的知道我們所不能做的是甚麼,可是我們是懷疑耶穌了。祂能做我們所不能做的,這一句話,叫我們有點難受。 我所以懷疑是因為我以自己,去推測神。我的問題是從我劣性的深處發出來的。如果我在我裡面查出這些懷疑,就應該將它們顯露出來,也要坦白的承認──「主啊,我對於您有懷疑之處,我不相信您的智慧離得了我的智慧;我也不相信您的權能離得了我有限的理解。」

二月廿六日 「在各樣善事上,成全你們……。」希伯來書十三章21節 希伯來書結尾的禱告非常美:「但願賜平安的神,就是那憑永約之血,使群羊的大牧人──我主耶穌從死裡復活的神,在各樣善事上成全你們……。」(來十三20—21)「在各樣善事上,成全你們」的字意乃是「使你們能適應各樣善事」。 適應是一件大事,我們得適應周圍的環境及人事,而不能叫環境及人事因我們而改變。例如適應我們不得不相處的人;適應神所給我們的事工,而不是求神來幫助我們做我們的事;適應去實現神給我們一生的旨意及計劃。這其實是我們在屬靈的事上能得到安息、力量及自由的秘密。 主啊!願您以您的豐富充滿我, 直到我的心滿溢, 直到我能用如火般的情緒和生動的話語, 述說您的愛,表達對您的讚美。 主啊!求您用我,求您屢屢用我, 如您所願地,無論在何時或何處用我。 直到我看到您聖潔的臉, 與您同安息、同喜樂、同享榮耀。
