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!

二月廿七日 「只勝了雅各一人;有一個人來和他摔跤,直到黎明。」創世記卅二章24節 剩下一人!我們各人對於這四個字都有不同的感覺。有人剩下一人時感覺何等孤單、寂寞;也有人剩下一人時感覺幽靜、可得安息。總之,剩下一人而沒有神同在,是太淒涼的事;剩下一人而有主同在的話,是預嘗天上的光景!如果神的兒女能多和祂單獨接觸,我們都要變作屬靈的偉人了。 我們的主給我們作了一個榜樣。多少次數祂獨自去單獨親近神;祂吩咐我們「你禱告的時候,要進你的內屋,關上門。」(太六6)的目的,乃是要我們單獨親近神。 以利亞和以利沙最大的神蹟,乃是在他們單獨親近神的時候出現的。雅各在單獨親近神的時候,成為一個王子。(以色列的意思就是王子)。約書亞在單獨親近神的時候,得到勝利的把握。基甸和耶弗他在單獨親近神的時候,得到神的遣徵。摩西獨自在曠野中的時候,看見神的異象。哥尼流在獨自禱告的時候,看見天使。彼得獨自在房頂上與神單獨接觸的時候,受神托付到外邦人中去。施洗約翰獨自住在曠野;耶穌所愛的門徒約翰獨自在拔摩海鳥上,孤單中他最接近神,所以得到了神最大的啟示。 讓我們渴慕單獨和神親近。如果我們把這件事情忽略了,我們就要失去樹和枝子的交通、能力,以及天上各樣屬靈的福氣。這是何等大的損失呢?並且我們不但剝奪了自己的祝福,也剝奪了別人的祝福,因為在我們自己得到祝福的時候,我們纔能帶祝福給別人。單獨親近神也許要減少我們外面的工作;但是單獨親近神會給我們更大的能力;結果,我們就會「不見一人,只見耶穌在那裏。」(太十七8)

February 27 "And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day."(Gen. 32:24.) LEFT alone! What different sensations those words conjure up to each of us. To some they spell loneliness and desolation, to others rest and quiet. To be left alone without God, would be too awful for words, but to be left alone with Him is a foretaste of Heaven! If His followers spent more time alone with Him, we should have spiritual giants again. The Master set us an example. Note how often He went to be alone with God; and He had a mighty purpose behind the command, "When thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray." The greatest miracles of Elijah and Elisha took place when they were alone with God. It was alone with God that Jacob became a prince; and just there that we, too, may become princes─"men (aye, and women too!) wondered at" (Zech. 3:8). Joshua was alone when the Lord came to him. (Josh. 1:1.) Gideon and Jephthah were by themselves when commissioned to save Israel. (Judges 6:11 and 11:29.) Moses was by himself at the wilderness bush. (Exodus 3:1-5.) Cornelius was praying by himself when the angel came to him. (Acts 10:2.) No one was with Peter on the house top, when he was instructed to go to the Gentiles. (Acts 10:9.) John the Baptist was alone in the wilderness (Luke 1:80), and John the Beloved alone in Patmos, when nearest God. (Rev. 1:9.) Covet to get alone with God. If we neglect it, we not only rob ourselves, but others too, of blessing, since when we are blessed we are able to pass on blessing to others. It may mean less outside work; it must mean more depth and power, and the consequence, too, will be "they saw no man save Jesus only."

二月廿七日 神的榮耀 「但願祂……得著榮耀,直到世世代代、永永遠遠。」以弗所書三章21節 神自己必須將祂的榮耀先啟示給我們,只有這樣,我們才能正確地認識祂並榮耀祂。 在大自然裡,沒有一種奇異的形像,比星光燦爛的天空更能述說神的榮耀。因著望遠鏡的發達,天文學家早就宣佈了神在宇宙中的各樣奇事;並且又因天文攝影的方法,發現了許多新奇的領域。一塊照相的感光片,放在天文望遠鏡底下,可以照出千萬個用最好的望遠鏡所不能看見的眾星。人必須站在一邊,讓諸天彰顯它自己的榮耀;原先不能看見的遙遠眾星,現在就能將他們的影像留在底片上了。 我們渴慕在神的話裡看見祂的榮耀,這是一個何等重要的功課。請將你自己的努力放一邊,讓你的心像照相的底片一樣,等候神來啟示祂的榮耀;而這底片必須是清潔預備好了的。讓你的心藉著神的靈,也蒙預備得潔淨:「清心的人有福了,因為他們必得見神。」底片必須不動,你的心也要安靜在神面前。底片有時為著感光要暴露七八個鐘點,以便接受最遠的星完全的印象;你的心也要多花時間安靜地等候神,祂必啟示祂的榮耀。 如果你安靜在神面前,給祂時間,祂就要將意念放在你的心裡,這對於你自己和別人,也許是不可言喻的祝福。祂要在你裡面造出渴慕和傾向祂的心,正像祂榮耀的光線,照著你一樣。 今天早晨就學習這一個。在極深的謙卑裡,獻上你的靈,並且相信神要在祂聖潔的愛裡,啟示祂自己。祂的榮耀要降臨在你的身上。你自己也要覺得需要給祂夠多的時間,以便讓祂作祝福的工作。 「惟耶和華在祂的聖殿中,全地的人都當在祂面前肅敬靜默。」(哈二20)「我的心哪,你當默默無聲,專等候神,因為我的盼望是從祂而來。」(詩六二5)「神已經照在我們心裡,叫我們得知神榮耀的光,顯在耶穌基督的面上。」(林後四6)「要休息,要知道我是神。」(詩四六10)

二月廿七日 耶穌的事工被人限制了 「你從那裡得活水呢?」約翰福音四章11節 「井又深」──比撒瑪利亞婦人所知道的深得多!想想人性和人生的深度,想想你裡面「井」的深度。你曾經限制了耶穌的事工,叫祂不能做甚麼?設使在你心裡面有憂慮之井,而耶穌來對你說:「你們心裡不要憂愁;」你必聳聳你的肩,回答說:「但是,主啊,井又深;你不能從它取出平靜和安慰來。」不必這樣,祂能從上面帶下來。耶穌不能從人性的井裡取出甚麼來。我們根據以往的經驗說:「當然,我不能盼望神做這件事」,這便是限制了神。只有那全能者能把這事做成功。就是這件事我們為門徒者應當相信祂要做成功的。我們一忘記祂是全能的,就限制了祂的事工,這種限制是在我們,不在祂。我們肯說耶穌,把祂當為安慰者或同情者,並不肯把祂當為全能者。 我們有些人成為基督教的可憐的標本,正因為我們沒有全能的基督。我們有基督的屬性和經驗,只是沒有完全歸於耶穌基督。當我們陷於困難的境遇,我們就會這麼說──「自然,祂不能做甚麼,」還是我們自己下到深處,為自己取水吧!當心以沉入為滿足,反說:「這是做不到的。」你當知道,如果你仰望耶穌,那是能做到的。你的那口不完全的井雖深,但是致力於祂,仰望於祂是有辦法的。

二月廿七日 「……必要親自成全你們,堅固你們,賜力量給你們。」彼得前書五章10節 當我們與基督建立友誼時,首先在心理上,我們必須有足夠的知識亮光來滿足我們,使我們肯定我們有資格與主做朋友。因為我們心中若有一絲的疑問,就會使我們失去信心。我們既明白這個道理,就應該下定決心、做個選擇。而那個決心必須像樹得種在土裡,新娘必須走到證婚壇前一樣確定。當我們下決心時,我們應該堅決地、毫無保留、絕不後悔地做這個決定。 在友誼成長的過程中,難免會有一段不穩、考驗的時期,直到這友誼逐漸變得堅固,如同永恆的關係。這就像外科醫師必須使用夾板來固定病人折斷的手臂,使斷的部份不致移動,直到骨頭再度長合起來。我們的神也使用屬靈的夾板,使祂的兒女能安靜、不致動搖,直到他們走過信心的第一階段。 也許這並不容易,但是請記得「那賜諸般恩典的神,曾在基督裡召你們,得享他永遠的榮耀,等你們暫受苦難之後,必要親自成全你們,堅固你們,賜力量給你們。」(彼前五10)
