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!

三月四日 「總要傚法那些憑信心和忍耐承受應許的人。」希伯來書六章12節 信心的英雄今天在榮耀中指示我們：凡他們所成功的，我們亦能。成功的祕訣不只是信心，也在乎忍耐。所以，不讓我們疑惑，焦急。沮喪，以致失去受主出乎愛的鍛鍊的機會。 有一個打鐵的鐵匠說：「只有一件事是我所怕的，就是被神丟到碎鐵堆裏去。當我鍛鍊鋼鐵的時候，我先把它在爐中燒紅，然後用鐵錘錘它，又忽然把它投入一桶冷水中。這樣，不久我便能試驗出來這塊鐵到底經不經得起鍛鍊，會不會裂成碎片。我把它這樣試驗至少二三次，如果它經不起鍛鍊。我就把它甩在碎鐵堆裏；等到收舊貨的來了，我就一分錢一磅賣給他。」 「照樣，我覺得主也用火、用錘、用水試驗我，如果我沒有信心和忍耐，就經不起試驗，以致不能合乎祂的標準，我怕祂也會把我丟到碎鐵堆裏去呢？」 雖然火是頂熱、錘是頂重、水是頂冷，你還該憑信心和忍耐站住，因為祝福就在後面；讓我們和約伯同聲說：「祂試煉我之後，我必如精金。」（伯廿三10） ─選 聖人出於苦難的磨難。要一架鋼琴出聲，須用十一噸壓力。如果你經得起壓力，神就要把你壓出音調來和天上的音樂相和。 ─選 困苦的考驗，疼痛的傷痕， 鍛鍊出十全十美的靈魂。 驚恐，緊張和災難的刺激， 更有益於笑語溫柔。

March 4 "Followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises." (Heb. 6:12.) ＴHEY (heroes of faith) are calling to us from the heights that they have won, and telling us that what man once did man can do again. Not only do they remind us of the necessity of faith, but also of that patience by which faith has its perfect work. Let us fear to take ourselves out of the hands of our heavenly Guide or to miss a single lesson of His loving discipline by discouragement or doubt. "There is only one thing," said a village blacksmith, "that I fear, and that is to be thrown on the scrap heap. "When I am tempering a piece of steel, I first heat it, hammer it, and then suddenly plunge it into this bucket of cold water. I very soon find whether it will take temper or go to pieces in the process. When I discover after one or two tests that it is not going to allow itself to be tempered, I throw it on the scrap heap and sell it for a cent a pound when the junk man comes around. "So I find the Lord tests me, too, by fire and water and heavy blows of His heavy hammer, and if I am not willing to stand the test, or am not going to prove a fit subject for His tempering process, I am afraid He may throw me on the scrap heap." When the fire is hottest, hold still, for there will be a blessed "after word; and with Job we may be able to say," When he hath tried me I shall come forth as gold." ─Selected. Sainthood springs out of suffering. It takes eleven tons of pressure on a piano to tune it. God will tune you to harmonize with Heaven's key-note if you can stand the strain. "Things that hurt and things that mar Shape the man for perfect praise; Shock and strain and ruin are Friendlier than the smiling days."

三月四日 神救贖計劃中的代禱 「聽禱告的主啊，凡有血氣的都要來就您。」詩篇六十五篇2節 當神把這世界交給照著祂自己的形像所造的人之後，人就應該在神的權下掌管這地。神的計劃乃是要亞當與神同行，凡事藉著神，讓神藉著他完成祂的工。亞當確實成為地的主人及管理者。但當罪進入世界之後，亞當的權柄卻變成很慘的事實；因著他，使整個的地與全人類都被帶到咒詛之下。 當神計劃救贖人類時，神乃是要把人類恢復到墮落之前的光景。神揀選了古時的僕人們，藉著代禱之能將他們所要的告訴神，求神賜給他們。當基督成為人時——一個在地並在天的人——祂可以為人類祈求，在祂離世之前，祂將代禱之能賞賜給祂的門徒，在約翰福音十五章至十七章，主臨別談話之七方面的應許中，主應許祂的門徒不論求甚麼，祂都為他們成全。神迫切希望賜恩的心雖好像多少受到地上代禱的限制，神設法興起人裡面代禱的靈，以便使祂能降臨於人類，神視代禱為祂百姓準備領受，並將自己全然降服於神大能的工作之最高表現。 基督徒必須認清這是他們真正的尊貴與唯一的權柄——呼求神且盼望神聽禱告的權柄，只有當神的兒女開始認識代禱與神國度之關係時，他們才會真正知道他們的責任是何其嚴肅。 每一個相信主的人都會被引導看見神，一直等著他運用他代禱的職份。每個信徒都會真實的領會人最高、最蒙福、最有力的工具，使禱告得蒙垂聽。「在天如此，在地也如此。」乃是人晝夜在地上所興起的代禱，懇求使神將天的能力賜下於人的心中。但願求神把這個意念燃燒在我們心中，全能的代禱乃是照著祂的旨意，並且是絕對有功效的！

三月四日 我能達到這個地步麼？ 「我卻不以性命為念，也不看為寶貴。」使徒行傳廿章24節 沒有異象，比較容易服事神，沒有召喚，比較容易替神工作，因為你可以不照神的意思做；以常識作指導，另外罩上基督徒的情緒就得了。如果你從未感覺神的召喚，你會更發達，更成功，更恬逸。但如果你奉到祂的召喚，想到耶穌基督所希冀的事，就要永遠像一種刺激，你也再不能根據常識來替祂工作。 我確實算為寶貴的是甚麼？如果我沒有被耶穌基督握住，我就以服務為寶貴，我就以獻給神的時光為寶貴，我就看我的生命為寶貴。其所以保羅把他的生命看為寶貴，為的是他能用這生命去完成他所領受的職務；因此他拒絕為別的事耗費氣力。在使徒行傳廿章24節述說保羅極力拒絕他人的勸告（顧念自己）。他除了顧念他所領受的職事以外，其他的一切，都不關心。實際工作也許是很容易代替歸向神的阻礙，因為實際工作是以這種理由為根據──「想想你自己在這種工作的價值與貢獻。」那種態度不是以耶穌基督為指導，卻是以我們的判斷來決定我們最大的用處。千萬不要想到你有無用處；卻要想到你不是自己的而是屬祂的。

三月四日 「他們就都被聖靈充滿……」使徒行傳二章4節 被聖靈充滿乃是靈裡聖潔、得勝、喜樂的秘訣。也是生命有活力、身體得醫治、事奉有能力的關鍵。因為當我們被聖靈充滿，我們就沒有餘地留給老我，或是罪惡、煩惱和憂慮了。 當聖靈充滿我們時，我們能抵抗在空氣中產生疾病的細菌，就像燒紅的鐵能使水無法接近。當我們為聖靈所充滿時，我們隨時都能預備好去事奉。因為當撒但發現聖靈以祂聖潔的火如同衣裳一樣包圍我們時，牠立刻調頭就逃。總之，惟有完全地為聖靈充滿，我們才能得勝、有能力。 這不僅是一種特權，也是一個命令。神既下了這樣的命令，就能幫助實現。但是我們必須帶著一個倒空、真誠、信任的心來到祂面前，並且奉耶穌的名、為神的榮耀而求神給我們這樣的特權。 聖靈，我歡迎您來。 做我聖潔的客人。 彷彿鴿子的聖靈請您， 以我的心為您的家、築您的巢。 帶領我得到完全的您， 引我到您所應許的安息裡。 聖靈，我請您來， 做我聖潔的客人。
