1:1 耶穌基督的僕人保羅，奉召為使徒，特派傳 神的福音。 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God--
1:2 這福音是 神從前藉眾先知在聖經上所應許的， the gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures 1:3 論到他兒子─我主耶穌基督。按肉體說，是從大衛後裔生的； regarding his Son, who as to his human nature was a descendant of David, 1:4 按聖善的靈說，因從死裏復活，以大能顯明是 神的兒子。 and who through the Spirit(\f1 1:4 Or|i who as to his spirit|d0 of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God(\f2 1:4 Or|i was appointed to be the Son of God with power|d) by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord. 1:5 我們從他受了恩惠並使徒的職份，在萬國之中叫人為他的名信服真道； Through him and for his name's sake, we received grace and apostleship to call people from among all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith. 1:6 其中也有你們這蒙召屬耶穌基督的人。 And you also are among those who are called to belong to Jesus Christ. 1:7 我寫信給你們在羅馬、為 神所愛、奉召作聖徒的眾人。願恩惠、平安從我們的父 神並主耶穌基督歸與你們！ To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints:Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 1:8 第一，我靠著耶穌基督，為你們眾人感謝我的 神，因你們的信德傳遍了天下。 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being reported all over the world. 1:9 我在他兒子福音上，用心靈所事奉的 神，可以見證我怎樣不住地提到你們； God, whom I serve with my whole heart in preaching the gospel of his Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you 1:10 在禱告之間常常懇求，或者照 神的旨意，終能得平坦的道路往你們那裏去。 0 in my prayers at all times; and I pray that now at last by God's will the way may be opened for me to come to you. 1:11 因為我切切地想見你們，要把些屬靈的恩賜分給你們，使你們可以堅固。 I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong-- 1:12 這樣，我在你們中間，因你與我彼此的信心，就可以同得安慰。 that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith. 1:13 弟兄們，我不願意你們不知道，我屢次定意往你們那裏去，要在你們中間得些果子，如同在其餘的外邦人中一樣；只是到如今仍有阻隔。 I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that I planned many times to come to you (but have been prevented from doing so until now) in order that I might have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles. 1:14 無論是希臘人、化外人、聰明人、愚拙人，我都欠他們的債， I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish. 1:15 所以情願盡我的力量，將福音也傳給你們在羅馬的人。 That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are at Rome. 1:16 我不以福音為恥；這福音本是 神的大能，要救一切相信的，先是猶太人，後是希臘人。 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 1:17 因為 神的義正在這福音上顯明出來；這義是本於信，以致於信。如經上所記：「義人必因信得生。」 For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last,( \f3 1:17 Or|i is from faith to faith|d) just as it is written: <<The righteous will live by faith.>>( \f4 1:17 Hab. 2:40 1:18 原來， 神的忿怒從天上顯明在一切不虔不義的人身上，就是那些行不義阻擋真理的人。 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 1:19 神的事情，人所能知道的，原顯明在人心裏，因為 神已經給他們顯明。 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 1:20 自從造天地以來， 神的永能和神性是明明可知的，雖是眼不能見，但藉著所造之物就可以曉得，叫人無可推諉。 For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. 1:21 因為，他們雖然知道 神，卻不當作 神榮耀他，也不感謝他。他們的思念變為虛妄，無知的心就昏暗了。 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 1:22 自稱為聰明，反成了愚拙， Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 1:23 將不能朽壞之 神的榮耀變為偶像，彷彿必朽壞的人和飛禽、走獸、昆蟲的樣式。 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles. 1:24 所以， 神任憑他們逞著心裏的情慾行污穢的事，以致彼此玷辱自己的身體。 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 1:25 他們將 神的真實變為虛謊，去敬拜事奉受造之物，不敬奉那造物的主；主乃是可稱頌的，直到永遠。阿們！ They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator--who is forever praised. Amen. 1:26 因此， 神任憑他們放縱可羞恥的情慾。他們的女人把順性的用處變為逆性的用處； Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 1:27 男人也是如此，棄了女人順性的用處，慾火攻心，彼此貪戀，男和男行可羞恥的事，就在自己身上受這妄為當得的報應。 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. 1:28 他們既然故意不認識 神， 神就任憑他們存邪僻的心，行那些不合理的事； Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. 1:29 裝滿了各樣不義、邪惡、貪婪、惡毒〔或譯：陰毒〕，滿心是嫉妒、凶殺、爭競、詭詐、毒恨； They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 1:30 又是讒毀的、背後說人的、怨恨 神的〔或譯：被 神所憎惡的〕、侮慢人的、狂傲的、自誇的、捏造惡事的、違背父母的。 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 1:31 無知的，背約的，無親情的，不憐憫人的。 they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 1:32 他們雖知道 神判定行這樣事的人是當死的，然而他們不但自己去行，還喜歡別人去行。 Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

一月卅一日 「祂給人安靜。」約伯記卅四章29節 神能在風浪中給人安靜。今天我們仍舊和祂一同在船中；在深夜離岸甚遠，船到了湖中心的時候，忽然起了暴風，甚至船被波浪掩蓋。這時候似乎世人聯絡一致地逼迫我們，地獄張了口等待吞喫我們，每一個波浪威脅我們。在這樣絕望的光景中，主頂鎮靜地起來，斥責風和浪；在祂一揮手之下，祝福來了，風浪去了，風號浪湃，不能混亂祂的聲音：「住了罷！靜了罷！」（可四39）你聽見祂的聲音麼？ 「祂給人安靜」。這安靜不是普通的安靜，乃是在失去指望和安慰中的安靜。有時候祂故意把指望和安慰從我們收回，因為我們太注重這些了。我們頂容易專看喜樂、奮興、盼望、安慰、經歷、恩賜、異象等等過於看主。所以為了愛的緣故，主把這些暫時收回；好叫我們靠著祂的恩典，分辨主所賜的和主自己。但是當我們以為失去了一切福份的時候，主就來了，叫我們嚐到祂同在的滋味。這時候我們因為有了祂自己，就忘記了祂所收回的，心中只覺得無限的安靜。 「祂使人安靜」 基督流浪的腳步， 曾踏過我們痛苦的荒徑， 祂的雙手擔承過我們悲愁的重負， 祂使人安寧， 喪失之中找到新的生命。 在您一切的賜予和無盡的安慰中， 我只祈求： 在遭遇困難的時際， 聽到您的聲音隱隱穿過一切喧囂， 使我在它安靜的力量下泰然休憩。 只要我靈魂寓於平靜的信仰， 一切憂慮都不能使我心焦， 只要您握著我的手， 我走在您身旁， 一切悲痛都不能使我動搖。 光明的早晨將使黑暗消散， 知道了這一點， 我已心滿意足， 我將靜待黎明時分的狂喜， 誰還能擾亂您所賜的安寧平靜。

January 31 "He giveth quietness." (Job 34:29.) ＱUIETNESS amid the dash of the storm. We sail the lake with Him still; and as we reach its middle waters, far from land, under midnight skies, suddenly a great storm sweeps down. Earth and hell seem arrayed against us, and each billow threatens to overwhelm. Then He arises from His sleep, and rebukes the winds and the waves; His hand waves benediction and repose over the rage of the tempestuous elements. His voice is heard above the scream of the wind in the cordage and the conflict of the billows, "Peace, be still!" Can you not hear it? And there is instantly a great calm. "He giveth quietness." Quietness amid the loss of inward consolations. He sometimes withdraws these, because we make too much of them. We are tempted to look at our joy, our ecstasies, our transports, or our visions, with too great complacency. Then love for love's sake, withdraws them. But, by His grace, He leads us to distinguish between them and Himself. He draws nigh, and whispers the assurance of His presence. Thus an infinite calm comes to keep our heart and mind. "He giveth quietness." "He giveth quietness." O Elder Brother, Whose homeless feet have pressed our path of pain, Whose hands have borne the burden of our sorrow, That in our losses we might find our gain. "Of all Thy gifts and infinite consolings, I ask but this: in every troubled hour To hear Thy voice through all the tumults stealing, And rest serene beneath its tranquil power. "Cares cannot fret me if my soul be dwelling In the still air of faith's untroubled day; Grief cannot shake me if I walk beside thee, My hand in Thine along the darkening way. "Content to know there comes a radiant morning When from all shadows I shall find release; Serone to wait the rapture of its dawning─ Who can make trouble when Thou sendest peace?"

一月卅一日 基督是一切 「基督是一切，又住在一切裡面。」歌羅西書三章11節直譯 在神永遠的計劃中，在十字架的救贖裡，在天上和地上的寶座上執掌王權裡，固然基督是一切；就是在罪人蒙恩的事上，在他們的稱義與成聖上，在建立基督的身體上，在對個人的照顧上，（即使是對罪人中的罪魁，）基督是一切這句話，仍是有效的。如果神的兒女在信心裡接受了「基督是一切」這個真理，那麼我們每天每刻，都要從祂得著安慰和能力。 當你讀這本書的時候，你是否在想這裡所說的那些豐滿的救恩，並不是對你說的？你覺得你是何等的軟弱，何等的不配，何等的不可靠！我親愛的讀者！請你相信，只要你用像小孩子一樣的信心接受主耶穌，你就有了一位領導者和管理者，祂必供給你一切的需要。請全心相信我們救主的話：「看哪，我常與你們同在。」這樣，你也要每天經歷祂的同在。無論你的感覺是多冷淡、沈悶；無論你是多麼有罪，請在隱密處去遇見主耶穌，祂必將祂自己啟示給你。告訴祂你是如何的可憐，然後信靠祂會幫助並扶持你。你也要等候在祂面前，一直等到你能因著信而在祂裡面歡樂。請你將這本書再讀一遍，並且帶著「基督的一切」的思想來讀。 雖然有時我會忘記這句話，但願我每天進到隱密處去禱告的時候，都能帶著這個思想：——基督是一切——讓我把這句話當作我的格言。祂要教導我禱告，剛強我的信心，使我確信祂的愛，為我開啟進到父面前的路，並使我在每天的工作上剛強起來！是的，基督，我的基督，乃是我所有的需要！這一個會教導我住在祂的愛裡，這一個會使我確信祂是住在我的心裡，也使我認識那超越知識的愛！願神得著頌讚，直到永永遠遠！基督，我的基督，乃是我一切的一切！

一月卅一日 你明白你的選召麼？ 「特派傳神的福音。」羅馬書一章1節 我們的選召，不僅是要做善男信女，卻也是要作神福音的宣傳者。認識神的福音，不是人的善德，不是聖潔，不是天堂，不是地獄，卻是永存的真實，是救贖；是今日基督徒工人的急需。既為工人，我們就當熟知救贖是唯一的真實。個人的聖潔是果，並不是因。如果我們依靠個人的善德（那便是依靠救贖的果），那麼，當試驗來到的時候，我們就要跌倒。 保羅沒有說他分派自己，卻說「隨神分派我。」保羅在自己品性上，並不感覺過分的關心。我們著眼於自己人格潔白無玷一日，便一日不能挨近救贖的真實。為主作工的人的失敗是因為他願望自身的潔白無玷，沒有為神打算。「我不管這腐敗社會的救贖如何如何，也不要管人類的生活怎樣怎樣。只求我在神的眼中看為滿意就得了。」這樣是表示神福音的真實，完全沒有觸及我。更不能說是無條件的歸服了神。當我的興趣專在自己品性之時，神不能拯救我。保羅不知有己，放棄一切，聽神的分派去做那件事──傳神的福音（參羅九3）。

一月卅一日 「神又使他成為我們的智慧、公義、聖潔、救贖。」哥林多前書一章30節 我們越來越瞭解對聖潔觀念的認識是非常重要的。聖潔並不單是一種祝福，乃是我 們與救主之間密切的交通，以及聖靈的內住。 成千上萬的人在踏上聖潔之船以後，卻因船擱淺，而發現自己不斷失敗、跌倒，並且覺得吃驚、困惑。他們下結論認為自己追求聖潔的經驗必定錯了，所以他們在同樣的事上重新嘗試，然後再次絆倒。最後他們在精疲力竭的情況下，難免會認為那個經驗是一個妄念，至少不是該他們體驗的。因此他們不僅回到老我時的光景，甚至每況愈下。 人們今天若要滿足他們屬靈的飢渴，得到永恆神聖的經驗，首先他們必須瞭解聖潔並非一種狀態，乃是接受基督、讓等候良久的祂永遠活在我們心中。
