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!

三月十六日 「生身的父都是暫隨己意管教我們，惟有萬靈的父管教我們，是要我們得益處，使我們在祂的聖潔上有分。」希伯來書十二章10節 康諾氏所寫的書中，說有一個山野少女葛文的故事。葛文頑皮任性，她在某一日不幸遇到意外，成了殘廢。臥病在床第中，性情更加暴躁，當她在怨天尤人的時候，「天的嚮導」來看她，所謂「天的嚮導」，是山中居民對傳教士的尊敬稱呼。 傳教士給她講了一個谷的寓言，他說：地球最初的時候，只有一望無際的原野，並沒有峽谷。原野的主人，有一天出外散步，看見大地上只長著青草，就問原野道：「你的花在那裏」？原野回答說：「主人，我沒有種子。」 於是主人吩咐禽鳥把各類花的種子帶來，四處播種。不久原野上就開出了番紅玫瑰，水荳花，毛莨花，向日葵，紅鈐蘭，以及一些耐熱的夏季花卉。主人看了很高興，但他找不到他最心愛的幾種花，於是他對原野說「還有鐵線蓮，縷斗菜，紫羅蘭，白頭翁，各種鳳尾草和開花的灌木在那裏呢？」 他又吩咐禽鳥把所有種子帶來，四處播種。但主人再來的時候，還是找不到他最心愛的花，於是他說：「那些最可愛的花在那裏」？ 原野悲哀地說：「主人，我無法保存這些花，因為狂風拚命的吹颳，烈陽炙烤著我的胸膛，這些花忍不住原野的氣候，它們都零落凋萎了。」 於是主人吩咐閃電劈開原野的胸懷。原野在劇痛中顫抖哀號，為那黝黑而凹凸不平的裂口，悲痛呻吟了許多日子。 由於河水湧進了裂口，把深黑色的泥土帶了進來，禽鳥再把種子帶來，在那峽谷中播種。過了很長一段時間之後，粗糙的岩石上，舖滿了柔軟的青苔和綿延的籐蔓，各處角落，都垂掛著鐵線蓮和縷斗菜，碩壯的榆樹，仰起粗大枝幹，升向高空的陽光，樹根附近盤屈著矮杉和鳳仙花，到處都有紫羅蘭，白頭翁和孔雀草在生長開花，峽谷終於成了主人所尋求的安息，平安和快樂的心愛之地了。 傳教士講完了教事之後，就對她說：「聖靈所結的果子，也可以稱之謂聖靈之花，包括愛，喜愛，平安，堅忍，溫柔等等，其中有些只能在峽谷中生長」。 「只能在峽谷裏生長的是什麼花呢？」葛文輕聲問。傳教士答道：「溫和，謙卑，忍耐，其他如愛，喜樂，和平安，雖能在原野開放，但若生長在峽谷裏，它們將更美麗，更芬芳」。 葛文默默地躺了好一會，然後嘴唇顫抖地自言自語道：「在我的峽谷裏沒有花，只有粗陋的岩石」。 「親愛的葛文，總有一天它們會開出花來，主會發現，我們也會看到」。 親愛的，當你淪入你的峽谷時，請記著這句話！

March 16 "For our profit." (Heb. 12:10.) ＩN one of Ralph Connor's books he tells a story of Gwen. Gwen was a wild, wilful lassie and one who had always been accustomed to having her own way. then one day she met with a terrible accident which crippled her for life. She became very rebellious and in the murmuring state she was visited by the Sky Pilot, as the missionary among the mountaineers was termed. He told her the parable of the canyon. "At first there were no canyons, but only the broad, open prairie. One day the Master of the Prairie, walking over his great lawns, where were only grasses, asked the Prairie, `Where are your flowers?' and the prairie said, `Master I have no seeds.' "Then he spoke to the birds, and they carried seeds of every kind of flower and strewed them far and wide, and soon the prairie bloomed with crocuses and roses and buffalo beans and the yellow crowfoot and the wild sunflowers and the red lilies all summer long. Then the Master came and was well pleased; but he missed the flowers he loved best of all, and he said to the Prairie: `Where are the clematis and the columbine, the sweet violets and wind-flowers, and all the ferns and flowering shrubs?' "And again he spoke to the birds, and again they carried all the seeds and scattered them far and wide. But, again, when the Master came he could not find the flowers he loved best of all, and he said: "`Where are those my sweetest flowers?' and the prairie cried sorrowfully: "`Oh, Master, I cannot keep the flowers, for the winds sweep fiercely, and the sun beats upon my breast, and they wither up and fly away.' "Then the Master spoke to the Lightning, and with one swift blow the Lightning cleft the prairie to the heart. And the Prairie rocked and groaned in agony, and for many a day moaned bitterly over the black, jagged, gaping wound. "But the river poured its waters through the cleft, and carried down deep black mould, and once more the birds carried seeds and strewed them in the canyon. And after a long time the rough rocks were decked out with soft mosses and trailing vines, and all the nooks were hung with clematis and columbine, and great elms lifted their huge tops high up into the sunlight, and down about their feet clustered the low cedars and balsams, and everywhere the violets and wind-flower and naiden-hair grew and bloomed, till the canyon became the Master's favorit place for rest and peace and joy." Then the Sky Pilot read to her: "The fruit─I'll read `flowers'─of the Spirit are love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness─and some of these grow only in the canyon." "Which are the canyon flowers?" asked Gwen softly, and the Pilot answered: " Gentleness, meekness, longsuffering; but though the others, love, joy, peace, bloom in the open, yet never with so rich a bloom and so sweet a perfume as in the canyon." For a long time Gwen lay quite still, and then said wistfully, who her lips trembled: "There are no flowers in my canyon, but only ragged rocks." "Some day they will bloom, Gwen dear; the Master will find them, and we, to shall see them." Beloved, when you come to your canyon, remember!

三月十六日 為著工人的代禱 「要收的莊稼多，作工的人少，所以你們當求莊稼的主，打發工人出去，收他的莊稼。」馬太福音九章37—38節 門徒們對於以上這些話並不明白。基督所給他們的乃是一個撒種的思想，存放在他們心中待日後使用。五旬節時，當我們怎樣看到那麼多剛悔改得救的人，靠著聖靈的能力準備見證基督，他們一定也感覺到十天同心合意的禱告才帶下此祝福，就是聖靈大能所結的果子。 基督教訓我們無論莊稼有何等多，而工人又是何等少，祈求乃是最好、最有把握，也是唯一的路，為著我們的需要懇求。我們所需要知道的，不僅在我們有需要時向神禱告，而是整個的工作都是在禱告的靈中進行，所以為工人們代求乃是我們整個生活、工作最完善的配合。 在中國的內地會中，當傳道人的數字增至二百時，在中國舉行的某次會議中，他們深深地覺得需要更多的工人到偏遠地區作工；經過了多次禱告之後，他們感覺可以向神禱告在一年內，再賜給他們一百個傳道人及一萬英磅，以應付費用。他們就天天不停地禱告達一年之久。到了一年終了的時候，神賜給他們連男帶女一百位適當的工人，並且賜給他們一萬一千英磅。 為了應付當今世界的需要，為了廣大的工場，及待拯救的靈魂，許多教會都抱怨工人及金錢不夠。基督不是召我們也像起初使徒們同心恆切地禱告嗎？神是信實的，藉著聖靈的大能要供應我們每一個需要。願教會顯出合一的禱告與祈求，因神是聽禱告的神。 禱告： 可稱頌的主耶穌，求您教導您的教會知道為您活著、為您勞苦的意義何在。在恆切禱告的靈裡，使我們確信您會在每件事上，超過人所求地來供應這個即將滅亡世界的呼求。阿們。

三月十六日 主來審判 「因為我們眾人，必要在基督臺前顯露出來。」哥林多後書五章10節 保羅說我們眾人，無論是傳道的和聽道的，都「要在基督臺前顯露出來。」如果你在基督的光榮中過慣了生活，末後的審判將使你因神的工作而快樂。你會把臉向著基督的審判臺，走在你所認知的至聖者的光中。對於別人一種錯誤的態度，終必終止在魔鬼的靈裡，與你的聖潔無關。一種私心的判斷，其結果是地獄在你裡面。趕快將這顯出來，而且要說：「我的神啊！我在那裡犯罪了」。如果你不如此，你的心就漸漸硬了。罪的懲罰使罪成為習慣。不但神要懲罰罪，罪也要在罪人裡面建立自己，償還整個代價。無論如何掙扎或祈禱，不能使你不做某種事情。罪的懲罰，就是使你逐漸成為習慣，不知道是罪。除了聖靈進入心中以外，沒有別的力量能改變罪的連屬結果。 「我們若在光明中行，如同神在光明中。」（約壹一7）光明中行，按照許多人看便是給別人一個標準。現代法利賽人的精神，最壞的不是假冒為善，卻是不覺得自己不真實。
■ 中文上海嗎哪（03月16日）
三月十六日 「因為耶和華……要賜下恩惠和榮耀。」詩篇八十四篇11節 「榮耀」這個詞很難翻譯、下定義或是解釋。但在靈裡敏感、儆醒的基督生命中，我們能找到「恩惠」的解釋。「榮耀」是滿溢的恩典、是生命中的甘露，是先嘗天堂的權利；更是從神寶座來的希望，由神心中所發出的啟示。我們不僅能擁有這樣的榮耀，並且能生活在其中。主耶穌曾為我們禱告，求神把賜給祂的榮耀，也賜給我們(約十七22)。 讓我們珍惜這樣的榮耀，生活在其中。大衛曾說：「我的靈啊，(原文作榮耀)，你當醒起。」(詩五十七8)所以我們也可以求神使我們的榮耀奮起，加添我們能力，讓我們能如鷹展翅上騰，高高地與基督一同坐在屬天的位子上。 我們在等候主之後興起， 從新得力、生命更新， 像鷹一樣展翅上騰， 我們在靈裡必然登峰造極。 當我們健步如飛地再回到事奉中， 走許多聖徒所行過的道路， 我們必然奔跑卻不睏倦， 行走卻不疲乏。
