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.

二月十七日 「我……賜給以色列人的地。」約書亞記一章2節(直譯) 這裏神所說的「賜給」是現在式,並不是神將要作的事,乃是神就在此刻要作的。信心求神現在,神就現在賜給。神今天就要工作。許多時候我們在神面前等候一件東西、盼望一件東西、尋求一件東西,卻並沒有相信。這不過是我們的盼望,這不過是我們的需要,並不是我們的信心;因為「信就是所望之事的實底,是未見之事的確據。」(來十一1)「凡你們禱告祈求的,無論是甚麼,只要信是得著的,就必得著。」(可十一24)這裏說到信心的禱告,所用的動詞都是現在式的。我們有沒有這現在的信心呢? ─辛普遜 真實的信心,就是以神的話為算數,在未見應驗之前,就已經深信了。頂自然地,我們常要先有眼見,或是憑據,證明我們所求的已經蒙神應許,然後纔肯相信;但是如果我們走信心的道路,除了神的話以外,我們不需要別的憑據,雖然四周的環境儘可和祂的話相反。祂已經說了,必定會按照我們的信心,給我們成全的。我們將要看見祂話語的應驗,因為我們已經信了。 寫詩篇的人說:「我若不信在活人之地得見耶和華的恩惠,就早已喪膽了。」(詩廿七13)他雖然還沒有看見神對他禱告的答應,但是他已經相信得見;這就能保守他不喪膽。 若是我們也有「信得見」的信心,我們就不會灰心了。我們要笑「不可能」,我們要頂高興地看神怎樣在紅海——人沒有方法可以脫離艱難的時候─開路。在這種試煉中,我們的信心最會長髮。 親愛的受苦的信徒啊,你是不是日夜在等待神,深怕神已經把你忘了呢?絕不會的,你當舉起你的頭來,為著那已經在半路上的拯救開始讚美祂。 ─譯自讚美的生命

February 17 "The land which I do give them, even the children of Israel." (Joshua 1:2.) GOD here speaks in the immediate present. It is not something He is going to do, but something He does do, this moment. So faith ever speaks. So God ever gives. So He is meeting you today, in the present moment. This is the test of faith. So long as you are waiting for a thing, hoping for it, looking for it, you are not believing. It may be hope, it may be earnest desire, but it is not faith; for "faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." The command in regard to believing prayer is the present tense. "When ye pray, believe that ye receive the things that ye desire, and ye shall have them." Have we come to that moment' Have we met God in His everlasting NOW? ─Joshua, by Simpson. True faith counts on God, and believes before it sees. Naturally, we want some evidence that our petition is granted before we believe; but when we walk by faith we need no other evidence than God's Word. He has spoken, and according to our faith it shall be done unto us. We shall see because we have believed, and this faith sustains us in the most trying places, when everything around us seems to contradict God's Word. The Psalmist says, "I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of living" (Psa. 27:13). He did not see as yet the Lord's answer to his prayers, but he believed to see; and this kept him from fainting. If we have the faith that believes to see, it will keep us from growing discouraged. We shall "laugh at impossibilities," we shall watch with delight to see how God is going to open up a path through the Red Sea when there is no human way out of our difficulty. It is just in such places of severe testing that our faith grows and strengthens. Have you been waiting upon God, dear troubled one, during long nights and weary days, and have feared that you were forgotten? Nay, lift up your head, and begin to praise Him even now for the deliverance which is on its way to you. ─Life of Praise.

二月十七日 一個完全的心 「耶和華的眼目遍察全地,要顯大能幫助向祂心存誠實的人。」歷代志下十六章9節 我們知道,作世界的事務,必須用整個的心,才能作得好;這個原則,在屬靈的境界裡更是如此。神曾命令我們:「你要盡心、盡性、盡力,愛耶和華你的神。」(申六5)在耶利米廿九章十三節說:「你們尋求我,若專心尋求我,就必尋見。」 如果有熱心的基督徒,只專心注意他們日常的工作,卻在事奉神的事上非常隨便,這是希奇的事。他們不認識無論在甚麼情景中都該全心全力獻上事奉神。 我們願藉這本書有一個徹底的認識,就是:必須絕對用全心來尋求神。「耶和華的眼目遍察全地,要顯大能幫助向祂心存誠實的人。」這句話對於我們是一個何等的鼓勵,要叫我們帶著一個正直的心,謙卑等候在神面前,我們可以相信,祂的眼睛是察看我們的,要在我們和我們的工作上,顯出神的大能來。 基督徒啊!你有沒有在你敬拜神的時候,每個早晨學習這個功課,將自己獻上,為要遵行祂的旨意呢?用全心來禱告,用誠實的全心將自己獻給祂,然後在信心裡盼望神的能力在你裡面作工,也藉著你作工。 請你記得,要達到這個,必須先安靜在祂面前,直到你充分地領會祂實在是秘密的在你心裡作工。「我……等候神。」(詩六十九3)「把我藏在祂帳幕的隱密處。」(詩廿七5)

二月十七日 避免意志消沉的自動力 「起來吃罷!」列王記上十九章5節 天使未給以利亞甚麼異象,未給他解釋聖經,也未行甚麼非常的事;只吩咐他去做極平常的事──起來吃。如果我們從未意志消沉,我們就不是有生之物;一個結晶體,是不會意志消沉的。要做一個人就有意志消沉的可能。不然,也就沒有所謂揚眉吐氣了。有些東西,是使我們意志消沉的,是產生死亡的,所以估計你自己的力量,總要將意志消沉的可能計算在裡面。 當神的靈來臨的時候,也不給我們異象;祂只告訴我行極平常的事。意志消沉容易叫我們避免神所造諸物中極平常的事,但神的靈來到,祂就啟示我們極自然極平常的事──我們也從未夢到神在這些事裡面,不過在我們作的時候,我們就會覺得神是在裡面。這樣的靈感,是一種避免意志消沉的自動力;我們要做當前的事,並且是因神的靈感而去做。如果我們做一件事,為的是勝過消沉,反而更加消沉起來;但是,如果神的靈使我們直覺地覺悟我們應做的事,我們一做,馬上就不消沉了。我們起來服從,就立刻踏入一種高尚生命的範圍。

二月十七日 「……你們的生命與基督一同藏在神裡面。」歌羅西書三章3節 有些基督徒帶領了極多的人歸主,有時多得不太對勁。他們自己知道、別人也知道他們帶領了多少人信主。他們的果實似乎像水晶一樣具體,而且變成勞動本身的記念。 有些基督徒則完全與其他同工打成一片,所以別人很難看到他們的特性。但是這樣的事工才是最像基督的事工,因為主耶穌在教會的事工裡,也是隱藏的。主耶穌是教會隱藏的生命、榮耀的頭,而聖靈則更是藏在祂所用的器皿裡。 葡萄樹的主籐並不結果子,結滿成串果實的常是較小的籐,並且似乎得到收穫的光榮。而樹汁雖然不停地流,卻不為人所見;當我們越接近基督時,我們也願意不為人所注目,而讓他人變得更重要。我們應藉著無聲的愛和禱告,來支持別人的事工。 主啊!求您讓我變成在您寶座面前,用兩片翅膀遮臉的撒拉弗。我願像這些天使遮住他們的臉和腳一樣;情願順服您,就像他們將自己和他們的事奉都藏起來,那樣地服事您。
