1:1 為基督耶穌被囚的保羅,同兄弟提摩太寫信給我們所親愛的同工腓利門, Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, To Philemon our dear friend and fellow worker,
1:2 和妹子亞腓亞並與我們同當兵的亞基布,以及在你家的教會。 to Apphia our sister, to Archippus our fellow soldier and to the church that meets in your home: 1:3 願恩惠、平安從 神我們的父和主耶穌基督歸與你們! Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 1:4 我禱告的時候提到你,常為你感謝我的 神; I always thank my God as I remember you in my prayers, 1:5 因聽說你的愛心並你向主耶穌和眾聖徒的信心〔或譯:因聽說你向主耶穌和眾聖徒有愛心有信心〕。 because I hear about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints. 1:6 願你與人所同有的信心顯出功效,使人知道你們各樣善事都是為基督做的。 I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ. 1:7 兄弟啊,我為你的愛心,大有快樂,大得安慰,因眾聖徒的心從你得了暢快。 Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the saints. 1:8 我雖然靠著基督能放膽吩咐你合宜的事; Therefore, although in Christ I could be bold and order you to do what you ought to do, 1:9 然而像我這有年紀的保羅,現在又是為基督耶穌被囚的,寧可憑著愛心求你, yet I appeal to you on the basis of love. I then, as Paul--an old man and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus-- 1:10 就是為我在捆鎖中所生的兒子阿尼西謀〔就是有益處的意思〕求你。 0 I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, (\f1 10 |iOnesimus|d means|i useful.|d) who became my son while I was in chains. 1:11 他從前與你沒有益處,但如今與你我都有益處。 Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me. 1:12 我現在打發他親自回你那裏去,他是我心上的人。 I am sending him--who is my very heart--back to you. 1:13 我本來有意將他留下,在我為福音所的捆鎖中替你伺候我。 I would have liked to keep him with me so that he could take your place in helping me while I am in chains for the gospel. 1:14 但不知道你的意思,我就不願意這樣行,叫你的善行不是出於勉強,乃是出於甘心。 But I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that any favor you do will be spontaneous and not forced. 1:15 他暫時離開你,或者是叫你永遠得著他, Perhaps the reason he was separated from you for a little while was that you might have him back for good-- 1:16 不再是奴僕,乃是高過奴僕,是親愛的兄弟。在我實在是如此,何況在你呢!這也不拘是按肉體說,是按主說, no longer as a slave, but better than a slave, as a dear brother. He is very dear to me but even dearer to you, both as a man and as a brother in the Lord. 1:17 你若以我為同伴,就收納他,如同收納我一樣。 So if you consider me a partner, welcome him as you would welcome me. 1:18 他若虧負你,或欠你甚麼,都歸在我的帳上, If he has done you any wrong or owes you anything, charge it to me. 1:19 我必償還。這是我保羅親筆寫的。我並不用對你說,連你自己也是虧欠於我。 I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand. I will pay it back--not to mention that you owe me your very self. 1:20 兄弟啊,望你使我在主裏因你得快樂〔或譯:益處〕並望你使我的心在基督裏得暢快。 I do wish, brother, that I may have some benefit from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in Christ. 1:21 我寫信給你,深信你必順服,知道你所要行的,必過於我所說的。 Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I ask. 1:22 此外你還要給我預備住處;因為我盼望藉著你們的禱告,必蒙恩到你們那裏去。 And one thing more: Prepare a guest room for me, because I hope to be restored to you in answer to your prayers. 1:23 為基督耶穌與我同坐監的以巴弗問你安。 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you greetings. 1:24 與我同工的馬可、亞里達古、底馬、路加、也都問你安。 And so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas and Luke, my fellow workers. 1:25 願我們主耶穌基督的恩常在你的心裏。阿們!

三月十三日 「眾聖之王阿,您的方法義哉、誠哉。」啟示錄十五章3節 在患難中經歷頂深的司布真師母說:有一天陰沈的晚上,我獨自坐在椅子上休息;雖然室中很光亮,但是我心靈中有一層黑暗罩著,使我不能看見甚麼。我也不覺得主的手纔住我,我好似滑跌在傷痛中。我憂憂愁愁地自問說: 「為甚麼我的神如此待祂的孩子呢?為甚麼祂一直把銳利的痛苦加給我呢?為甚麼祂應許纏綿的軟弱來攔阻我去事奉祂呢?」 這些煩惱的問題立即得到了答覆;頂希奇,答覆我的是一個特異的聲音;用不著翻譯的人,神在我心中輕輕地替我解釋。 室內寂靜了好久,我忽然聽見一聲清幽悅耳的樂音,很像窗下知更雀的歌聲。 這是甚麼聲音?絕不會是知更雀在那裏唱歌,因為這是寒冷的晚上。 又是一聲。這次我纔發現:原來壁爐中一根橡樹枝,正被猛烈的火焰焚燒著,從裂口中發出那個好聽的音樂來! 此時,我發生了一些感想:當這些樹枝嫩綠青翠的時候,許多歌鳥遊歇其上,唱出美麗的調兒來,牠就把那些歌聲收集起來,含蓄在裏面。後來牠漸漸老了,樹枝漸漸硬了;那聲音便永久被封住在裏面了,直到猛烈的火焰燒燬了牠的堅硬,久囚的音樂纔被釋放。啊,照樣,神用痛苦的火焰燃燒我們,原是要從我們久寂的心中抽出讚美的歌聲來,叫我們的神得著榮耀!就在此時,我得了安慰。 恐怕我們中間有幾個很像這根橡樹枝—─老、冷、硬、麻木;我們不會發出讚美的聲音來,如果沒有火的催逼。 「在火煉中歌唱,是的,神幫助我們。」如果苦難的火焰會叫無情的冷心得到溫暖,願爐中的火焰較前加旺「七倍!」 ─選

March 13 "Just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints."(Rev. 15:3.) THE following incident is related by Mrs. Charles Spurgeon, who was a great sufferer for more than a quarter of a century: "At the close of a dark and gloomy day, I lay resting on my couch as the deeper night drew on; and though all was bright within my cozy room, some of the external darkness seemed to have entered into my soul and obscured its spiritual vision. Vainly I tried to see the Hand which I knew held mine, and guided my fogenveloped feet along a steep and slippery path of suffering. In sorrow of heart I asked, "`Why does my Lord thus deal with His child? Why does He so often send sharp and bitter pain to visit me? Why does He permit lingering weakness to hinder the sweet service I long to render to His poor servants?' "These fretful questions were quickly answered, and through a strange language; no interpreter was needed save the conscious whisper of my heart. "For a while silence reigned in the little room, broken only by the crackling of the oak log burning in the fireplace. Suddenly I heard a sweet, soft sound, a little, clear, musical note, like the tender trill of a robin beneath my window. "`What can it be? surely no bird can be singing out there at this time of the year and night.' "Again came the faint, plaintive notes, so sweet, so melodious, yet mysterious enough to provoke our wonder. My friend exclaimed, "Perchance he had garnered up this song in the days when all was well with him, when birds twittered merrily on his branches, and the soft sunlight flecked his tender leaves with gold. But he had grown old since then, and hardened; ring after ring of knotty growth had sealed up the long-forgotten melody, until the fierce tongues of the flames came to consume his callousness, and the vehement heart of the fire wrung from him at once a song and a sacrifice. `Ah,' thought I, `when the fire of affliction draws songs of praise from us, then indeed we are purified, and our God is glorified!' "Perhaps some of us are like this old oak log, cold, hard, insensible; we should give forth no melodious sounds, were it not for the fire which kindles around us, and releases notes of trust in Him, and cheerful compliance with his will. "Singing in the fire! Yes, God helping us, if that is the only way to get harmony out of these hard apathetic hearts, let the furnace be heated seven times hotter than before."

三月十三日 代禱生活的祝福 「呼籲耶和華的,你們不要歇息,也不要使祂歇息,直等祂建立耶路撒冷,使耶路撒冷在地上成為可讚美的。」以賽亞書六十二章6—7節 我們能有權為著別人的需要代禱,是一種非人口所能述說的祝福。何等的福氣,我們能與基督緊緊聯合,在代禱上與祂同工,並與祂的禱告結合為一。何等榮耀能與神同在天上,超過萬人之上,並為他們代求,使他們所得到的遠超過所知所想的。 何等的特權像我們!身為神恩典的管家竟能將教會或個人的光景、神話語的執事,或神在外邦人中使者的光景,帶到神的面前為他們呼籲,直到神答應了我們。 何等的福氣使我們得以與神所有兒女聯合,在禱告中同心協力,直至勝過地上一切的艱難,並那空中掌權者的黑暗權勢。若能認識神要使用我這個人成為一個代禱者,且在地上承受並分賜祂屬天的祝福並祂聖靈的大能,那我的生活定規是非常有價值的。 這實在是屬天生命的實際顯出,也就是主耶穌祂自己的生命,在祂捨己的愛裡將我們得著,並因著祂愛的催促,使我們甘心獻出自己,在祂面前肩負著人的需要,而呼籲神使他們得以存活。 我們一直以為禱告不過是求神供應生活及服事上的需要。求神幫助我們看見代禱的地位在神的旨意及祂國度的工作上是何其重要。但願我們的心真地感覺到,地上根本沒有一種祝福能與我們由神所得的,非口能述的特權相比,此權柄使我們能等候神從天上賜福,更開出一條路使祂所樂意賜的福能在地上。 禱告: 父啊,求您將您的生命傾下,充滿在您兒女的心中,正如主耶穌在祂不止息的代禱中傾下祂的愛一般;讓我們在地上也能活出一個傾倒愛及永不止息的代禱生活。阿們。

三月十三日 神的捨棄 「神愛世人,甚至將祂的獨生子賜給他們。」約翰福音三章16節 救贖不僅是脫離罪孽,也不僅是個人成聖的經驗;救贖是要人不為自己打算而為神打算。我的救贖經驗,只有走向脫離罪惡和個人成聖的路線;但是救贖的意義,是神的靈使我與神的本性接觸,令我驚奇我以外的無限偉大;完全與神合而為一。 如果說我們蒙召是宣傳聖潔或成聖,那便走入了歧途。我們蒙召是宣傳耶穌基督。祂救我們脫離罪,使我們成聖,是神捨棄的效果的一部份。 撇棄從不會使我們感覺吃力,因為整個生命已與我們所歸向的一位打成了一片。當心談論撇棄,如果你不知的話,非到你明白了約翰三書16節所說神絕對捨棄自己,你是不會知道的。我們不為神憂慮,撇棄是要像神不憂慮的把自己交給我們一樣。因為我們的生命與祂打成一片,就不會想到撇棄的效果了。

三月十三日 「保守自己常在神的愛中……」猶大書21節 不久以前,我得空享受了一次美麗的夕陽景象,我看到西邊的天彷彿像一大群金色的海島,那遙遠成群的海島又宛如從群山中上升的光輪。當我從西往東看過去,天空的色彩燦爛無比,似乎整個大地都染上了它的顏色。不僅整個大地五光十色,田野更是變得出奇的鮮紅,全地似乎披上了屬天的露水。 就像當神的愛照耀整個天空時,祂的愛能摭蓋地上的一切,一切的生命都發出光彩。困難的事變得容易,辛酸的事變得甜美。負擔不再是重擔,悲哀也會轉為希望和喜樂。 要生活在神的愛中只有兩個秘訣:一是繼續的信靠神,二是全然順服。而神的話語充滿了這兩個信息。「你們若遵守我的命令,就常在我的愛裡,正如我遵守了我父的命令,常在祂的愛裡。」(約十五10)

隨機小語智慧是什麼?
有一隻老虎,看見曾打敗過自己的水牛,被人吆喝著耕地,便去問牛為什麼怕農夫,牛說:「因為人有智慧」。 老虎向農夫要求看看他的智慧。農夫說他把智慧放在家裡,可以去拿,但要先把老虎捆起來,免得他走了以後老虎把牛吃掉,老虎聽了覺得有道理,老虎聽從農夫的話。 農夫回村叫了村民來,把老虎裝鐵籠裡,農夫就對老虎說:「這就是智慧」。 國英台羅馬注音聖經新增台語羅馬字典教會MIDI卡拉OK新增教會MIDI卡拉OK流量最多的歌教會MIDI卡拉OK新修改會員登入 |
