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!

三月十一日 「耶和華的僕人摩西死了以後，耶和華曉諭摩西的幫手嫩的兒子約書亞，說，我的僕人摩西死了；現在你要起來，和眾百姓過這約但河。」約書亞記一章1—2節 當憂愁和損失同時臨到你的時候，你第一個衝動就是想放棄一切，坐在失望中傷心。但是你決不能這樣，須知你是在戰場的前線，正當勝敗關頭。如果你躊躇一刻，同胞就要喪膽，神就要受著虧損。所以你不該稍有耽延，連痛哭一場的時間也不能。 某名將常述說他在戰爭時所遭遇的一段傷心的經歷：將軍的兒子是一個陸軍中尉。一次，父子各率一軍，開拔前線。不久，總攻擊開始，將軍身先士卒，向敵陣衝鋒；在戰場上，他偶然瞥見一個本國的戰死軍官躺在地上。跑近一看，乃是他自己的兒子。他第一個意念就是抱了屍身痛哭一場，但是轉念之間，他想到身負重責，戰爭的勝敗就在這一仗，豈可因個人私事貽誤大事；於是在死者灰白的冷唇上搶了一個熱吻，鼓起勇氣，急忙率領軍兵向前衝去。 如果約書亞在摩西的墓旁一直哀哭，是哭不活摩西的，也哭不出神的祝福來。憂愁無非使傷痕更深、使痛苦擴大。神吩咐約書亞在摩西死後從哀傷中起來背負神的使命前去，約書亞遵行神的旨意，果真面前有亮光、能力和祝稫。坐下來一直悲哀會使我們四圍的環境更黑暗、會使我們的心更痛苦、會使我們的力量更衰弱。只要我們不去理會痛苦，立即負起神的使命來，光明就會隨著來到，我們也會剛強起來了。 ─密勒 輕率的啼哭， 自私的淚珠， 將招來深的罪過。 我們憂慮那微不足道的損失， 您卻給我準備了夢想不到的收穫； 我們若不肯放下自以為珍貴的一切， 結果還是喪失， 何能持到永久？ 但若緊握著您的手， 堅定步伐走在您指示的道路， 前途是浸潤著快樂與豐富， 充滿了幸福和尊榮的寶庫。 ─傑克遜

March 11 "Now it came to pass after the death of Moses, the servant of the Lord, that the Lord spoke unto Joshua, the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying, Moses my servant is dead; now, therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou and all this people."(Joshua 1:1, 2.) ＳORROW came to you yesterday, and emptied your home. Your first impulse now is to give up, and sit down in despair amid the wrecks of your hopes. But you dare not do it. You are in the line of battle, and the crisis is at hand. To falter a moment would be to imperil some holy interest. Other lives would be harmed by your pausing, holy interests would suffer, should your hands be folded. You must not linger even to indulge your grief. A distinguished general related this pathetic incident of his own experience in time of war. The general's son was a lieutenant of battery. An assault was in progress. The father was leading his division in a charge; as he pressed on in the field, suddenly his eye was caught by the sight of a dead battery-officer lying just before him. One glance showed him it was his own son. His fatherly impulse was to stop beside the was his own son. His fatherly impulse was to stop beside the loved form and give vent to his grief, but the duty of the moment demanded that he should press on in the charge; so, quickly snatching one hot kiss from the dead lips, he hastened away, leading his command in the assault. Weeping inconsolably beside a grave can never give back love's banished treasure, nor can any blessing come out of such sadness. Sorrow makes deep scars; it writes its record ineffaceably on the heart which suffers. We really never get over our great griefs; we are never altogether the same after we have passed through them as we were before. Yet there is a humanizing and fertilizing influence in sorrow which has been rightly accepted and cheerfully borne. Indeed, they are poor who have never suffered, and have none of sorrow's marks upon them. The joy set before us should shine upon our grief as the sun shines through the clouds, glorifying them. God has so ordered, that in pressing on in duty we shall find the truest, richest comfort for ourselves. sitting down to brood over our sorrows, the darkness deepens about us and creeps into our heart, and our strength changes to weakness. But, if we turn away from the gloom, and take up the tasks and duties to which God calls us, the light will come again, and we shall grow stronger. ─J. R. Miller. Thou knowest that through our tears, Of hasty, selfish weeping Comes surer sin, and for our petty fears Of loss thou hast in keeping A greater gain than all of which we dreamed; Thou knowest that in grasping The bright possessions which so precious seemed, We lose them; but if, clasping Thy faithful hand, we tread with steadfast feet, The path of thy appointing, There waits for us a treasury of sweet, Delight, royal anointing With oil of gladness and of strength. ─Helen Hunt Jackson.

三月十一日 基督是我們代禱的榜樣 「……他與強盛的均分擄物，因……他擔當多人的罪，又為罪犯代求。」以賽亞書五十三章12節 「他為罪犯代求。」這對主來說是何所指呢？試想祂為了那個有功效的禱告出了何等大的代價。祂需要將魂傾倒成為贖罪祭，在客西馬尼向神呼求：「父啊，願您的旨意成全。」 試想是甚麼感動了祂，使祂將自己獻到至極！乃是祂對父的愛——使祂的聖潔得以顯出，以及祂對人的愛——使他們與祂一同成聖。 試想祂得著的是何等的得勝，祂勝過了眾仇敵，就坐在神的右邊，以無限的能力代禱。祂將要看到祂的後裔，與祂同有一個意念，祂能訓練他們有份於祂偉大的代禱工作。 當我們真實地為罪人求神時，這對我們又有甚麼意義呢？我們也是一樣，將自己完全獻於父的榮耀、聖潔及祂的愛，我們也向父說：願您的旨意成全，我們願出任何代價，甚至將魂傾於父的榮耀，聖潔及祂的愛，我們也向父說：願您的旨意成全，我們願出任何代價，甚至將魂傾倒以至於死。 主耶穌已將我們一同帶到天上有份於祂自己，使我們在代禱的偉大工作上與祂同工。祂在天上，我們在地上卻同有一個心志，一個目標——由於對父神及對那迷失人的愛，將自己獻上，藉著代禱帶下神的祝福。使那燃燒在父與子裡面，為要拯救罪人的熱火，也燒在我們心裡。 何等榮耀！何等福氣！因為祂長遠活著，那在聖靈所澆灌在我們心裡的愛，使我們得著何等力量來（為罪犯）代禱！ 禱告： 永活的神，開我們的眼睛，看見您兒子榮耀的異象，就是祂永遠活著為人代禱。並使我們看見您恩典的榮耀，使我們得與祂相似，並能為罪人代求。父啊，奉主耶穌的名。阿們。

三月十一日 靈悟 「我沒有違背那從天上來的異象。」使徒行傳廿六章19節 如果我們失掉異象，其責只有我們自己擔負；而我們失掉異象的原因是由於靈性的遺漏。如果我們不把信靠神施之於實際，那神所賜予的異象，全都消逝。不違背那從天上來的異象的唯一方法，是盡力完成神的最高理想，還要時時決心回憶那異象才能成功。這是一秒一分不能間斷的工作，不僅是祈禱或靈修時的工作。 「雖然異象遲延，耐心等著」。我們不能強取甚麼異象，必要生活在異象的靈感中，讓其自己完成。我們忙於工作，就忘記所見的異象。在開始時，我們是看異象可以得著，但沒有等待異象；便忙於實際的工作，當異象完成的時候，我們反而不見。等候遲延的異象，是我們對神忠實的測驗。我們忙於實際工作，不見異象之完成，是將我們靈性的幸福置於危險了。 留心神的颶風。神播種聖徒唯一的方法，是藉著祂的旋風，你要證實你是一個空莢麼？是要看你是否照著所見的去生活。讓神擲你出去，不到神擲你出去，切不可出去。如果你選擇自己的地方，你就要成為一個空莢。如果神播種你，你就要結出果子來。 隨著異象之光，練習你的腳步，才是最根本的辦法。

三月十一日 「惟有你們是被揀選的族類，……是屬神的子民……」彼得前書二章9節 你可曾想過，神從祂所選出的人中再揀選出一些人，是否有些奇怪？「教會」這個名詞，原意是「選召」的意思，但是神仍然在教會中揀選祂特殊的工人。 我們可以從基甸的故事中看到這樣的例子。當他第一次吹角時，有超過三萬以上的亞比以謝人來跟隨他，但是神要他把人數減少。第一次考驗之後，懼怕膽怯的都離開了，只剩下一萬人。然而神需要再從這一萬人中挑選出更精銳的，這次考驗後，聰明、謹慎和心志專一的人被留了下來，可是數目只有三百人。 藉著這雖小但神所揀選的一群，基甸得以提高攻打米甸人士兵的素質。靠著神的能力，他光榮地贏得勝利。今天神仍在挑選合用的三百人，並要用他們使祂贏得世界。讓我們確定，我們是屬於揀選中再揀選出來的。
