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.

二月八日 「我……常與你們同在，直到世界的末了。」太廿八章20節（集註本） 不要帶著懼怕的心去看前面將臨的事。要帶著盼望去看它們，因為主是我們的主，必要帶領我們一步一步過去。祂常與你同在；你只要緊緊抓住祂的手，祂會引導你安然經過一切的；當你軟弱無力，站立不住的時候，祂會將你懷抱在祂大能的膀臂中。 不要為明天憂慮。永活的神今天既然看顧你，明天、每一天，也必定會同樣看顧你。有時祂不叫你遇見試探，有時祂加你力量使你能忍受試探。所以放心，拋棄一切焦急的意念和煩惱的想像。 ─撒勒 「耶和華是我的牧者。」（詩廿三1）「是」字在原文是現在式；不是過去式「曾是」，也不是將來式「將是」，也不是未定式「或是」，「耶和華是我的牧者」，祂現在是，祂永遠是，在主日是，在星期一也是，在一星期中每一天都是；在正月是，在十二月也是，在一年中每一月都是；在家裏是，在外鄉也是；在平安時是，在危險時也是；在豐餘時是，在缺乏時也是。在任何環境中都是。 ─戴德生 祂一聲不響為你安排， 給你無微不至的關懷， 祂擔任你的嚮導， 渡過埋伏著的陷阱與圈套。 祂一聲不響為你安排， 確實可靠， 決無乖差。 依賴神的信義， 你必會因祂而奏效。 祂一聲不響為你安排， 出乎意料的仁愛無涯， 眼不曾見， 耳不曾聞， 卻在天上為你保存。 祂一聲不響為你安排， 起初你不明白祂的意念， 這謎一樣的傑作， 似乎複雜， 最後終將祂的旨意全揭開。 祂一聲不響為你安排， 好像慈父對寵兒的關懷， 似乎除了你以外， 無人為神所鍾愛。 ─格蘭姆斯

February 8 "Lo, I am with you all the appointed days."(Matt. 28:20.) (Variorum Version.) ＤO not look forward to the changes and chances of this life in fear. Rather look at them with full hope that, as they arise, God, whose you are, will deliver you out of them. He has kept you hitherto; do you but hold fast to His dear hand, and He will lead you safely through all things; and when you cannot stand, He will bear you in His arms. Do not look forward to what may happen tomorrow. The same everlasting Father who cares for you today will take care of you tomorrow, and every day. Either He will shield you from suffering, or He will give you unfailing strength to bear it. Be at peace, then, put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations. ─Frances de Sales. "The Lord is my shepherd." Not was, not may be, nor will be. "The Lord is my shepherd," is on Sunday, is on Monday, and is through every day of the week; is in January, is in December, and every month of the year; is at home, and is in China; is in peace, and, is in war; in abundance, and in penury. ─J. Hudson Taylor. HE will silently plan for thee, Object thou of omniscient care; God Himself undertakes to be Thy Pilot through each subtle snare. He WIll silently plan for thee, So certainly, He cannot fail! Rest on the faithfulness of God, In Him thou surely shalt prevail. He will SILENTLY plan for thee Some wonderful surprise of love. Eye hath not seen, nor ear hath heard, But it is kept for thee above. He will silently PLAN for thee, His purposes shall all unfold; The tangled skein shall shine at last, A masterpiece of skill untold. He will silently plan FOR THEE, Happy child of a Father's care, As though no other claimed His love, But thou alone to Him wert dear. ─E. Mary Grimes.

二月八日 單獨親近神 「耶穌自己禱告。」路加福音九章18節 「（祂）就獨自又退到山上去了。」約翰福音六章15節 人需要神，神造人是為了祂自己。要人在裡面單獨地得著祂的生命和喜樂。 人需要單獨的親近神。但是人因為有肉體和世界的情慾，便墮落到暫時並可見之事物的權勢底下。他的恢復就是重新回到父的家裡，活在父的同在、父的慈愛，和父的交通裡面。救恩就是帶領人愛慕，並喜悅與神同在。 人需要單獨的與神同在。沒有這個，神就得不著機會照到人的心裡，藉著祂聖潔的工作改變人的本性，並且神的豐滿也不能充滿到人的裡面。 人需要單獨的與神同在，將他自己降服在祂的聖潔、祂的生命、祂慈愛的能力面前。基督在地上的時候，也需要這個。若是祂沒有常常離開那些圍繞祂的事物，去單獨親近神，祂就不能在肉身中活出那一個「子」的生命。而這一個對於我們更是何等的需要呢！ 當我們的主給我們那祝福的命令，叫我們進入我們的內室，關上門，單獨禱告我們在暗中的父的時候，祂也給我們應許，父必要聽這樣的禱告，並且在人的面前，並在我們的生活中大大地報答我們。 單獨的親近神——這是真實禱告的秘訣，也是在禱告裡真實的能力；並且是真的、活的，與神面對面的相交和事奉的能力。若沒有每天單獨親近神，就沒有真的、深的與神談話；也沒有真的、深的聖潔；同時也不能穿上聖靈和能力，更沒有長久的平安和喜樂。除了多多長久的單獨親近神之外，就沒有進入聖潔之路。 每天早晨實習隱密處的禱告，是一個何等不可估量的權利呢！讓我們的心放在這上面尋找、尋見，並碰見神。我的心哪，要花時間來單獨親近神。以後你就要對那些以為五分鐘的禱告就夠了的人，覺得驚奇了。 「我的王，我的神阿，求您垂聽我呼求的聲音，因為我向您禱告。」（詩五2）

二月八日 及時和不斷的成聖 「願賜平安的神，親自使你們全然成聖。」帖撒羅尼迦前書五章23—24節 當我們祈求成聖的時候，是準備遵照這兩節聖經的標準麼？我們把「成聖」這名詞看得太輕了。我們準備為成聖付上任何代價嗎？成聖的代價，是要我們對於人世的興趣縮到最小，對於神的興趣擴到無限的大。成聖的意思，是聚精會神於神之一點。那便是說，把身心靈的各種精力專為神的旨意保存著。我們準備讓神在我們裡面施行祂所派遣的一切麼？神在我們裡面的工作告成以後，我們是否像耶穌那樣順服神呢？「因他們的緣故，我自己成聖。」我們之中有些人沒有得到成聖的經驗，原因是我們沒有從神的觀點來領悟成聖的意義。成聖的意義，是與耶穌合而為一，讓支配祂的品格來支配我們。我們要準備付上相當的代價，代價便是我們裡面一切不屬神的事情。 我們準備接受使徒保羅祈禱的指揮麼？我們準備說：「主啊，願您使我成聖，就如您藉著恩典使罪人所能達到的成聖一樣。」耶穌禱告說，惟願我們與祂合而為一，正如祂與父合而為一一樣。聖靈在人裡面唯一事工，是叫人與耶穌基督發生家族的相像，脫去一切與祂不像的成分。我們準備分別自己，讓聖靈在我們裡面操持一切麼？

二月八日 「並不是我們憑自己能承擔甚麼事，我們所能承擔的，乃是出於神」哥林多後書三章5節 「神能將多樣的恩惠，多多地加給你們，使你們凡事常常充足」哥林多後書九章8節 不足及充足是完全相反的兩個名詞，然而得知自己的不足、認識神的充足，卻是得勝基督徒的秘訣。 當我們發現且承認自己完全無助時，我們就可以從神那裡不斷地得到屬靈的糧食。舊約的時候，神使人看見自己的失敗；新約時，神將基督的豐富顯現給世人看。神能將各樣的恩惠加給我們，但我們必須先接受我們不足的事實。 簡言之，基督徒得以完全的重點，在於不斷地否定自我的義、繼續接受基督的義。當我們接納我們空無所有，以及敗壞的事實，才能使我們祈求祂的恩惠。然而，承認知道我們的不足，卻不抓住神多樣的恩惠，是極為可能的事。所以我們必須靠著信心，不得到完全的祝福絕不罷手。
