1:1 基督耶穌的僕人保羅和提摩太寫信給凡住腓立比、在基督耶穌裏的眾聖徒,和諸位監督,諸位執事。 Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus,To all the saints in Christ Jesus at Philippi, together with the overseers (\f1 1:1 Traditionally|i bishops|d) and deacons:
1:2 願恩惠、平安從 神我們的父並主耶穌基督歸與你們! Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 1:3 我每逢想念你們,就感謝我的 神; I thank my God every time I remember you. 1:4 每逢為你們眾人祈求的時候,常是歡歡喜喜的祈求。 In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy 1:5 因為從頭一天直到如今,你們是同心合意地興旺福音。 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, 1:6 我深信那在你們心裏動了善工的,必成全這工,直到耶穌基督的日子。 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. 1:7 我為你們眾人有這樣的意念,原是應當的;因你們常在我心裏,無論我是在捆鎖之中,是辯明證實福音的時候,你們都與我一同得恩。 It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart; for whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God's grace with me. 1:8 我體會基督耶穌的心腸,切切地想念你們眾人;這是 神可以給我作見證的。 God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus. 1:9 我所禱告的,就是要你們的愛心在知識和各樣見識上多而又多, And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, 1:10 使你們能分別是非〔或譯:喜愛那美好的事〕,作誠實無過的人,直到基督的日子; 0 so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, 1:11 並靠著耶穌基督結滿了仁義的果子,叫榮耀稱讚歸與 神。 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ--to the glory and praise of God. 1:12 弟兄們,我願意你們知道,我所遭遇的事更是叫福音興旺, Now I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel. 1:13 以致我受的捆鎖在御營全軍和其餘的人中,已經顯明是為基督的緣故。 As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard(\f2 1:13 Or|i whole palace|d) and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ. 1:14 並且那在主裏的弟兄多半因我受的捆鎖就篤信不疑,越發放膽傳 神的道,無所懼怕。 Because of my chains, most of the brothers in the Lord have been encouraged to speak the word of God more courageously and fearlessly. 1:15 有的傳基督是出於嫉妒紛爭,也有的是出於好意。 It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. 1:16 這一等是出於愛心,知道我是為辯明福音設立的; The latter do so in love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. 1:17 那一等傳基督是出於結黨,並不誠實,意思要加增我捆鎖的苦楚。 The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains. (\f3 1:17 Some late manuscripts have verses 16 and 17 in reverse order.) 1:18 這又何妨呢?或是假意,或是真心,無論怎樣,基督究竟被傳開了。為此,我就歡喜,並且還要歡喜; But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, 1:19 因為我知道,這事藉著你們的祈禱和耶穌基督之靈的幫助,終必叫我得救。 for I know that through your prayers and the help given by the Spirit of Jesus Christ, what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance. (\f4 1:19 Or|i salvation|d) 1:20 照著我所切慕、所盼望的,沒有一事叫我羞愧。只要凡事放膽,無論是生是死,總叫基督在我身上照常顯大。 I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. 1:21 因我活著就是基督,我死了就有益處。 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. 1:22 但我在肉身活著,若成就我工夫的果子,我就不知道該挑選甚麼。 If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! 1:23 我正在兩難之間,情願離世與基督同在,因為這是好得無比的。 I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; 1:24 然而,我在肉身活著,為你們更是要緊的。 but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body. 1:25 我既然這樣深信,就知道仍要住在世間,且與你們眾人同住,使你們在所信的道上又長進又喜樂, Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith, 1:26 叫你們在基督耶穌裏的歡樂,因我再到你們那裏去,就越發加增。 so that through my being with you again your joy in Christ Jesus will overflow on account of me. 1:27 只要你們行事為人與基督的福音相稱,叫我或來見你們,或不在你們那裏,可以聽見你們的景況,知道你們同有一個心志,站立得穩,為所信的福音齊心努力。 Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in one spirit, contending as one man for the faith of the gospel 1:28 凡事不怕敵人的驚嚇,這是證明他們沉淪,你們得救都是出於 神。 without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved--and that by God. 1:29 因為你們蒙恩,不但得以順服基督,並要為他受苦。 For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for him, 1:30 你們的爭戰,就與你們在我身上從前所看見、現在所聽見的一樣。 since you are going through the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.

二月廿五日 「凡你們腳掌所踏之地,我都……賜給你們了。」約書亞記一章3節 今天除了有許多地方我們還沒有得來歸主以外,還有許多神給的應許,我們也沒有得到。神對約書亞講甚麼呢?「凡你們腳掌所踏之地,我都……賜給你們了」,於是神也把那應許之地的地界畫給他們看——只要是他們腳掌走遍的地方,都歸給他們。 可是他們從來沒有完全走遍所指定的境地,他們只走遍地的三分之一;結果,他們從來沒有完全得著,他們只得著地的三分之一;他們所得著的,正是他們所走遍的,一點都不多。 在彼得後書,我們看見「主所應許的尚未成就」,神的旨意仍舊要我們用信心和順服的腳掌去走遍,然後纔得到。 今天我們中間有多少信徒曾藉基督的名得到神應許的實現呢? 在我們面前有一塊寬廣的地業,需要我們用信心的腳掌去走遍的,可是我們至今還沒有起步。 讓我們起來去佔有神給我們的一切產業罷!讓我們舉目向東西南北觀看,聽神對我們說:「凡你所看見的一切地,我都要賜給你。」(創十三14—15) ─裴爾遜 凡是猶大腳當所踏之地,就歸猶大;凡是便雅憫所踏之地,就歸便雅憫。每支派都是這樣,只要腳掌一踏下去,那地就歸他們,這樣,你想,豈不是他們的腳掌一踏下去的時候,立刻就會頂自然地覺得:「這是我的了?」 有一次,有人問一位年老而靈歷很深的弟兄:「但以理,為甚麼你有這樣多的平安與喜樂?」他回答說:「哦,先生!我只僕在神極大、極寶貝的應許上,把神應許中一切的豐富算作我的,我就得著了。榮耀啊!榮耀啊!」凡僕在神應許上的,就得著神所有的豐富。 ─譯自信報

February 25 "Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you." (Joshua 1:3.) BESIDE the literal ground, unoccupied for Christ, there is the unclaimed, untrodden territory of Divine promises. What did God say to Joshua? "Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you," and then He draws the outlines of the Land of Promise─all theirs on one condition: that they shall march through the length and breadth of it, and measure it off with their own feet. They never did that to more than one-third of the property, and consequently they never had more than one-third; they had just what they measured off, and no more. In 2 Peter, we read of the "land of promise" that is opened up to us, and it is God's will that we should, as it were, measure off that territory by the feet of obedient faith and believing obedience, thus claiming and appropriating it for our own. How many of us have ever taken possession of the promises of God in the name of Christ? Here is a magnificent territory for taith to lay hold on and march through the length and breadth of, and faith has never done it yet. Let us enter into all our inheritance. Let us lift up our eyes to the north and to the south, to the east and to the west, and hear Him say, "All the land that thou seest will I give to thee." ─A. T. Pierson. Wherever Judah should set his foot that should be his; wherever Benjamin should set his foot, that should be his. Each should get his inheritance by setting his foot upon it. Now, think you not, when either had set his foot upon a given territory, he did not instantly and instinctively feet, "This is mine"? An old colored man, who had a marvelous experience in grace, was asked: "Daniel, why is it that you have so much peace and joy in religion?" "O Massa!" he replied, "I just fall flat on the exceeding great and precious promises, and I have all that is in them. Glory!" He who falls flat on the promises feels that all the riches embraced in them are his. ─Faith Papers.

二月廿五日 神的道 「神的道是活潑的,是有功效的。」希伯來書四章12節 與神相交,祂的道和禱告,兩者都是必須的;這兩件事在內室中是不能分離的。在祂的道(話)裡,神對我說話;在禱告中,我對神說話。 神的道教導我們認識我們所禱告的神;也告訴我們,神如何喜歡我們禱告。也給我們寶貝的應許,鼓勵我們去禱告;並且也常使我們的禱告得著奇妙的答應。神的道是從神的心裡來的,將神的意念和愛心帶進我們的心裡。然後又從我們的心裡回到神偉大、充滿了愛的心裡,禱告就是神的心與我們的心相交的憑藉。 神的道指教我們明白神的旨意——一方面是祂應許的旨意,關於祂所要為我們作的,使我們的信心得到餵養;另一面是祂命令的旨意,要我們在愛中學習順服。 我越禱告,就越覺得需要神的話,也越因神的話而喜樂。我越多讀神的話,就越充滿了禱告,也越有禱告的能力。沒有禱告的一大原因,就是我們讀神的話讀的太少,或者只是表面的讀,或者只是在人的智慧裡讀。神的道只有藉著聖靈說出來,聖靈也是禱告的靈。祂要教導我們,如何接受神的道,並如何去親近神。 如果我們從神那裡接受神的道,將道化成我們的禱告,也確定的盼望得著答應,這樣的交通將成為何等的祝福,我們的敬拜,將有何等的能力和靈感呢。在內室中,在神面前的隱密處,神的道要藉著聖靈成為我們的喜樂和力量。 神的道在我們心中最深的敬畏裡,並在我們的嘴唇上,以及在我們的生活上,必成為永遠不止息的能力和祝福的泉源。讓我們相信神的道實在是充滿了活潑的力量,能使我們剛強並快樂的盼望,從神那裡接受大的東西。最要緊的,他能帶領我們與那活的神每天都有祝福的相交。 「惟喜愛耶和華的律法,晝夜思想,這人便為有福。」(詩一1)

二月廿五日 缺乏服務 「難道我越發愛你們,就少得你們的愛麼?」哥林多後書十二章15節 自然的愛是盼望圖報的,但是保羅說:「我不管你們愛不愛我,我願意變為赤貧,這不但為你們的緣故,卻是想引你們歸向神。」「因為你們知道我們主耶穌基督的恩典,祂本來富足,卻為了你們成了貧窮。」保羅服務的觀念,恰恰是這樣──「我不管怎樣犧牲,我是甘心如此的。」也是所謂樂意的事。 教會對於神僕人的觀念與耶穌基督不同。耶穌的觀念是我們服事別人,作別人的僕人,就是服事祂。耶穌基督服務社會是超過了社會主義者。祂說。在祂的國裡算為最大的,就是作眾人的僕人。聖徒真實的測驗,不是宣傳福音,卻是洗門徒的腳,那就是說,人所認為不重要的事,神卻認為最重要的。保羅樂意因神對人類具有的興趣而犧牲自己,而不問代價如何。我們常帶著經濟的動機來規定事情──「如果神要我往那裡去──薪水怎樣?氣候怎樣?人們對我怎樣?無論何人必要考慮這些事。」這一切的一切,表示我們在服事神上留有餘地。保羅在他的生活中,可以代表耶穌在新約中所理想的聖徒,他不僅是宣傳福音,卻是為別人的生命,在耶穌基督的手裡,成為擘開的餅和傾出的酒!

二月廿五日 「我是葡萄樹,你們是枝子……」約翰福音十五章5節 我們如何接受基督做潔淨我們的主,或是醫治我們的神?這個問題經常掛在人們的嘴裡。 答案是,首先我們必須有信心,而且信心的獲得必須靠意志的行為,直到信心變成我們不變的習性。這就好像種一棵樹,你得先以行動把樹種到土裡。然後你必須把樹留在土裡,讓它紮根,直到它的細根能緊緊地深入地裡,從土壤中吸收養分。 這個過程有兩個階段:先種植樹,然後樹根自然習慣地從土裡吸收水分及養分。樹的鬚根必須有充分時間成長,直到它們能用海綿的毛孔,從土壤中得著營養。當那個階段達到之後,樹就可以固定不改變、不費力地由土裡汲取生命;那時它的成長就像我們呼吸一樣的自然。 主啊!求您幫助我住在您裡面,讓我養成從您那裡吸取生命的習慣,使我能真實地說:「我們生活、動作、存留,都在乎祂……。」(徒十七28)

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 |
