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!

二月十四日 「我再說你們要喜樂。」腓立比書四章4節 在主裏喜樂,何其佳美!也許你曾試過要凡事喜樂,可是不久即告失敗。不要緊,仍繼續下去,當你不能感覺喜樂,沒有可以喜樂的理由、安慰、和鼓勵時,仍該喜樂,算作喜樂。甚至當你落在百般試煉中的時候,仍要算作喜樂;這樣,神就要證明你的「算」不是徒然的。你想你的父親會不會讓你舉著得勝和喜樂的旗號到前線去,然後他冷冷地向後一退,任憑你被仇敵擄去擊敗呢?決不!父的聖靈必定會在你勇敢地前進的時候支持你,將喜樂和讚美充滿你的心,那時候你就會因著裏面的充滿感到非常的新鮮和歡樂了。主啊,教導我們怎樣在你裏面喜樂,「常常喜樂」(帖前五16) ─選 「向撒但高唱對主的讚美, 最弱的聖徒, 也能擊敗魔鬼。」 「要被聖靈充滿……口唱心和的讚美主。」(弗五18—19) 這裏使徒保羅勸我們用歌唱讚美來增進我們的靈命。 他勸告讀者,要從靈裏尋求激勵,而不是外表的興奮,不是求肉體的刺激,乃是求靈裏的歡欣。 「聖徒以歌頌讚美神, 時常會見到光明的驟臨。」 讓我們不斷地歌唱讚美,甚至不喜歡唱的時候也唱:這或許可你使你沈滯的腿上有似添了活潑的翅翼,轉變疲乏成為力量。 ─喬懷得 「約在半夜,保羅和西拉,禱告唱詩讚美神;眾囚犯也側耳而聽。」(徒十六25) 哦!使徒保羅,你真是眾聖徒的表率,你能彀這樣榮耀神,你「身上帶著耶穌的印記!」(加六17) 你有被石擲傷的記號三次棍打的傷疤,猶太人給你的一百九十五鞭的鞭痕,腓立比監獄中無數的血斑!你靠著恩典還能在受苦的牢獄中唱出讚美來。啊,我相信那恩典一定是彀用的恩典! ─羅區 魔鬼的飛箭如雨而來, 我們永遠在主裏歡喜, 從古到今, 撒但總有牠的戒心, 我們的歌唱, 遠勝我們的哀嘆。

February 14 "And again I say, Rejoice." (Phil. 4:4.) IT is a good thing to rejoice in the Lord. Perhaps you have tried this, and the first time seemed to fail. Never mind, keep right on and when you cannot feel any joy, when there is no spring, and no seeming comfort and encouragement, still rejoice, and count it all joy. Even when you fall into divers temptations, reckon it joy and delight and God will make your reckoning good. Do you suppose your Father will let. you carry the banner of His victory and His giadness on to the front of the battle, and then coolly stand banck and see you captured or beaten back by the enemy? NEVER! The Holy Spirit will sustain you in your bold advance, and fill your heart with gladness and praise, and you will find your heart all exhilarated and refreshed by the fullness within. Lord teach me to rejoice in Thee, and to "rejoice evermore." ─Selected. "The weakest saint may Satan rout, Who meets him with a praiseful shout." "Be filled with the Spirit,....singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord." (Eph. 5:18, 19.) Here the Apostle urges the use of singing as one of the inspiring helps in the spiritual life. he counsels his readers not to seek their stimulus through the body, but through the spirit; not by the quickening of the flesh, but by the exaltation of the soul. "Sometimes a light surpirses The Christian while he sings." Let us sing even when we do not feel like it, for thus we may give wings to leaden feet and turn weariness into strength. ─J. H. Jowett. "At midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them." (Acts 16:25.) Oh, Paul, thou wondrous example to the flock, who could thus glory, bearing in the body as thou didst "the marks of the Lord Jesus"! Marks from stoning almost to the death, from thrice beating with rods, from those hundred and ninety-five stripes laid on thee by the Jews, and from stripes received in that Philippian jail, which had they not drawn blood would not have called for washing! Surely the grace which enabled thee to sing praises under such suffering is all-sufficient grace. ─J. Roach. "Oh, let us rejoice in the Lord, evermore, When darts of the tempter are flying, For Satan still dreads, as he oft did of yore, Our singing much more than our sighing."

二月十四日 主的隱密處 「進入你的內屋,關上門,禱告你在暗中的父;你父在暗中察看,必然報答你。」馬太福音六章6節 基督非常盼望祂的門徒認識神是他們的父,與祂有隱密的交通。在基督的生活裡,祂認識在隱密處遇見神,這不只是必須的,也是最高的喜樂,祂也要我們認識,若沒有每天與天上的父相交,否則要作一個真實全心向著主的門徒是不可能的。天上的父是在隱密處等待我們。 神是一位把祂自己從世界和一切屬乎世界的裡頭隱藏起來的神。神也要我們從世界和我們的自己裡出來。祂要叫我們得著與祂又親密又深入的相交祝福。哦!但願神的兒女們都明白這個! 舊約裡的信徒曾享受過這個經歷。「您是我隱藏之所。」「住在至高者隱密處的,必住在全能者的蔭下。」「主與敬畏祂的人親密。」今天,新約的基督徒更當看重這個與神隱密的相交。我們讀過:「你們已經死了,你們的生命與基督一同藏在神裡面。」如果我們真的相信這個,我們就要充滿喜樂地說:我們的生命,與基督一同藏在神裡面。蒙祂這樣聖潔的保守,是極其平安,任何的仇敵都不能加害。我們必須逐日堅定地尋求,在禱告我們暗中的父裡,得著屬靈生命的更新。 我們與基督一同死了,有分於祂的死,也必有分於祂的復活;我們知道樹的根是藏在地底下的,所以我們每天生活的根,也必須深深地隱藏在神裡面。 心哪!「您必把我藏在您面前的隱藏處。」(詩卅一20) 我們禱告的第一個思想,必須是:我知道,我是單獨地與神同在,並且神也與我同在。 「(祂)把我藏在祂帳幕的隱密處。」(詩廿七5)

二月十四日 留心訓練 「我在暗中告訴你們的,你們要在明處說出來;你們耳中所聽的,要在房上宣揚出來。」馬太十章27節 有時,神使我們親經黑暗的訓練,教訓我們,是要我們留心祂。教鳥鳴唱是在暗地裡,而神也是把我們放在祂手的陰暗裡教我們,直到我們學會了聽祂。「我在暗中告訴你們的」──你們要留心神將你們放在黑暗的地方,當你們在那裡的時候,須要緘口不言。你們現在是處在黑暗的環境中呢?還是你們在與神聯合的生命中呢?應當靜聽。如果你們在黑暗中開口,便是說得不得其時,因為黑暗是敬聽的時候。不要向別人說話!不要從書中找求黑暗的原因,只要留心靜聽,如果你們與別人說話,你們就不能聽見神的聲音。當你們在黑暗裡的時候,還是以靜聽為是。神必要給你們一個為別人極寶貴的消息,也就是要你們在明處說出來的消息。 每次經過黑暗以後,快樂和屈辱相偕而至(如果只有快樂,我們是否能聽見神,倒成問題),為了聽神說話而快樂,同時也有很大的屈辱──「費多少時候,我才聽見啊!我的瞭解是怎樣遲鈍啊!然而神是無時無刻不在說話哩!」祂現在賜與你們那屈辱的禮物,使你們的心軟化起來,能常常靜聽神的聲音!

二月十四日 「……祂要用……火給你施洗。」馬太福音三章11節 火不僅異常地強烈且是很實在的,它只要一接觸到任何東西,就會與其完全融合。 有些試煉對較為脆弱的人而言極為嚴厲,使在試煉中的人受到很多傷害。在越大的試煉裡,雖然有越大的喜樂,但是隨之而來的痛苦也會更大。 也有些試煉儘管深,但是我們不僅能將其交託在神手裡,並且能超越其對我們身體及心志上的打擊,而得到靈裡的造就。當這樣的試煉來臨時,我們恐慌退縮、心中往往會想:「這樣的事不可能出自愛我們的天父,我也不需要這樣的試煉。」 然而,這些痛苦及災難的確是神所允許的,因為祂就像提煉、淨化銀子的機器。當祂讓我們接受火般的試煉時,祂似乎讓我們燒成灰燼一般。但是我們能藉著信心得勝,當我們不再害怕試煉時,試煉就不會再傷害我們。正如以賽亞書四十三章2節所說的:「……你火中行過,必不被燒,火焰也不著在你身上。」
