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.

二月十五日 「不要……心懷不平。」詩篇卅七篇1節 不要冒火，抱不平。我們常見作惡者穿了紫色細麻布的長袍，終日宴樂，凡事順利。「惡人」（詩九二7）執掌大權，欺壓不幸的人們。犯罪的男女享受安逸驕奢的生活，因此好人常會冒火！抱不平。 可是經上說：「不要……心懷不平。」不要冒火！把火氣冷下去！即使你的冒火是很有理由的，但是也不是一個聰明的辦法。不平只會起摩擦、衝突；不平不能變成和平。一部火車的車軸如果發熱了，並不能幫助火車前進；它們的發熱只能產生障礙。車軸發熱的緣故，乃是為了不必要的摩擦；我們應該讓神用祂的恩膏塗在我們不平的地方，以免生出軋轢來。 心中懷了不平，就會有許多尖銳鋒利的砂粒——急躁、惱恨、嫉妒、無禮等——嵌進來，叫你失去生活中謙和的香氣。摩擦生熱，熱後就會發生最危險的破壞。所以不要懷抱不平，讓神的聖膏油使你平滑罷；否則恐怕因著冒火的緣故，你自己就會列在作惡者之中了。 ─譯自銀襯 不安的心， 要寧靜； 莫煩惱， 莫忿怒； 神有無數方法， 來顯示祂的愛與幫助， 只有信任， 深信祂， 直到你明白祂的旨意和囑咐。 不安的心， 要寧靜； 安詳表示神的歡顏， 祂的愛能消除一切的乖戾和悲哀； 只要愛主， 深愛祂， 暫且安詳的等待。 不安的心， 要勇敢； 不要悲傷惆悵， 在那刺骨的寒風中， 神送來了慈愛恩惠； 只要盼望， 要盼望， 直到你的膽大氣壯。 不安的心， 這時候該在懷裏憩息， 祂的慈愛是花， 祂的恩典是生命活力， 只管安息， 需安息； 安息在祂溫柔的懷中。 不安的心， 要寧靜； 不必自我掙扎， 神與你的生命已成一片， 不可分離， 只管祈禱， 多祈禱， 使你的信心不移。 ─李因譯自銀襯

February 15 "Fret not thyself." (Psalm 37:1.) ＤO not get into a perilous heat about things. If ever heat were justified, it was surely justified in the circumstances outlined in the Psalm. Evil-doers were moving about clothed in purple and fine linen, and faring sumptuously every day. "Workers of iniquity" were climbing into the supreme places of power, and were tyrannizing their less fortunate brethren. Sinful men and women were stalking through the land in the pride of life and basking in the light and comfort of great prosperity, and good men were becoming heated and fretful. "Fret not thyself." Do not get unduly heated! Keep cool! Even in a good cause, fretfulness is not a wise help-meet. Fretting only heats the bearings; it does not generate the steam. It is no help to a train for the axles to get hot; their heat is only a hindrance. When the axles get heated, it is because of unnesessary friction; dry surfaces are grinding together, which ought to be kept in smooth co-operation by a delicate cushion of oil. And is it not a suggestive fact that this word "fret" is closely akin to the word "friction," and is an indication of absence of the anointing oil of the grace of God? In fretfulness, a little bit of grit gets into the bearings─some slight disappointment, some ingratitude, some discourtesy─and the smooth working of the life is checked. Friction begets heat; and with the heat, most dangerous conditions are created. Do not let thy bearings get hot. Let the oil of the Lord keep thee cool, lest by reason of an unholy heat thou be reckoned among the evil-doers. ─The Silver Lining. Dear restless heart, be still; don't fret and worry so; God has a thousand ways His love and help to show; Just trust, and trust, and trust, until His will you know. Dear restless heart, be still, for peace is God's own smile, His love can every wrong and sorrow reconcile; Just love, and love, and love, and calmly wait awhile. Dear restless heart, be brave; don't moan and sorrow so, He hath a meaning kind in chilly winds that blow; Just hope, and hope, and hope, until you braver grow. Dear restless heart, repose upon His breast this hour, His grace is strength and life, his love is bloom and flower, Just rest, and rest, and rest, within his tender power. Dear restless heart, be still! Don't struggle to be free; God's life is in your life, from Him you may not flee; Just pray, and pray, and pray, till you have faith to see. ─Edith Willis Linn.
■ 永活之泉（02月15日）
二月十五日 天上半小時的寂靜 「天上寂靜約有二刻。另有一位天使來，站在祭壇旁邊；有許多香賜給他，要和眾聖徒的祈禱一同獻在寶座前的金壇上。那香的煙，和眾聖徒的祈禱一同升到神面前。」啟示錄八章1、3、4節 「天上寂靜約有二刻」——在第一位天使吹號之前，要將眾聖徒的祈禱帶到神面前。因此，有千萬神的兒女們都覺得從世上事物裡安靜半小時，在神面前獻上禱告、與祂同在，是絕對需要的。這樣，他們就能夠在每日的生活上得著堅固。 我們常聽見人說，沒有時間來禱告；也有人承認，就是有了時間，他們也不能用這時間來與神有真實的交通。這就不問而知，是甚麼攔阻屬靈生命的長進了。這秘訣只能在與神活潑的交通中找著。 我的弟兄啊！假使你順服基督，當你聽見祂說：「當你關上門，禱告你在暗中的父」的時候，就當勇敢地單獨與神親近半小時。不要想，我不知道要如何花時間。只要相信，如果你開始忠心地在安靜中俯伏在神面前，祂就要向你啟示祂自己。 若是你需要幫助的話，可以讀幾節聖經，讓神的話說到你裡面。然後在極深的謙卑裡，俯伏在神面前等候祂，祂就要在你裡面作工。讀詩篇六十一、六十二，或六十三篇，在神面前說出這些話，然後開始禱告。為你的家庭、孩子、為聚會、為教會和執事、為學校和工作來禱告。雖然好像時間很長，可是繼續下去，神要報答你，你也必定碰見神。 弟兄啊！神願意祝福你。難道這不值得你花半小時的工夫，單獨來親近神麼？為著獻上眾聖徒的禱告，在天上還需要有半小時的寂靜，何況在地上呢？如果你堅持下去，你就要看見這一天中，似乎是最難的半小時，到後來要成為你一生中最大的祝福。 我的心默然向著神。「我的心哪，你要默默無聲，專等候神，因為我的盼望是從祂而來。」（詩六十二5）
■ 中文屬天日子（02月15日）
二月十五日 我是我弟兄的守護人麼？ 「我們沒有一個人為自己活。」羅馬書十四章7節 在神之前替別人負靈性之責的思想，你曾想過麼？比如說，如果我在我的生活中有任何偏離神的行動，凡在我周圍的人都要受累。我們「同坐在天上」。「若一個肢體受苦，所有的肢體就一同受苦。」當你一許生理的自私，心理的不潔，道德的遲鈍，靈性的愚頑在你裡面活動，則凡與你有關係的人都要受累。或許你要說，「你所定的標準太高，誰能在這些標準上滿足無缺呢？」我們當以神為滿足，也只有以祂為滿足。 「你們就是我的見證。」我們中有多少人願意替耶穌基督耗費我們所有的腦力，心力，道德和靈性的精力呢？這就是神所感覺的「見證」的意義。這是需要相當的時間的，忍耐著。神讓我們存留在世上──為甚麼呢？是想我們得救，想我們成聖麼？不是，是常常為祂作見證。我肯為祂成擘開的餅和奠出的酒麼？我們不要渴想這個世界，這個生命，除了渴想去勸化男女作主耶穌基督的門徒以外，無論那一點，卻不可渴想。我們處理生活要像處理工作一樣，要把他作為感謝神大恩之用。須記取的，是我們中無論那個人都如不精純的銀子有被丟去的可能──「……恐怕我傳福音給別人，自己反被棄絕了。」

二月十五日 「……你要在基督耶穌的恩典上剛強起來。」提摩太后書二章1節 我們如何才能享受今天呢？試著得到快樂永不能帶給我們真正的喜樂。但是如果我們能按著以下的條件行，那麼喜樂就會自然產生。 一、與神和好──因為神豫備喜樂，是為正直人(詩九十七11)。更因為惟有祂在我們裡面的喜樂，我們的喜樂才得滿足。 二、忘卻自我，為他人而活──因為施比受有福(徒廿35)。 三、當你受感覺、環境影響，喜樂不起來時，你當靠主喜樂(腓四４)。即使落在百般試煉中，都要以為大喜樂(雅一２)。 四、順服神，對祂有信心，那麼祂帶滿祝福的聖靈將來必會不斷地對你輕聲說：「……好，你這又良善又忠心的僕人，……可以進來享受你主人的快樂。」(太廿五21) 喜樂和痛苦， 都不是我們的終極目標， 但卻能使我們為今天而戰， 創造更美好的明天。 讓我們站起來， 無論命運如何， 不斷地努力、繼續地追求， 學習勤奮工作、耐心等候。 ——出自朗非羅生命之詩
