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.

三月七日 「我們……周圍遭患難。」哥林多後書七章5節 為甚麼神這樣帶領我們，應許患難一直臨到我們？第一，神彀用的恩典和能力可以彰顯得更完全，遠勝在安逸中。「我們有這寶貝放在瓦器裏，要顯明這莫大的能力，是出於神，不是出於我們。」（林後四7） 第二，患難使我們更依靠神。神一直在教導我們依靠祂，讓祂把我們緊緊握在手中，把所有的難處交給祂，由祂照顧。 第三，主自己曾站過那「四圍遭患難」之地，今天祂也要我們去站；並不用自己的力，乃是一直用手拉住祂，不敢獨自跨前一步，用以訓練我們的信心。 第四，除了在患難中，沒有別的地方可以學習信心的功課。四週遭患難之地是神所設立的信心學校，在那裏我們受到信心的訓練。 信心的祕訣一次學會，就永遠會了，並且是一個永遠的幸福；有信，貧窮變為富足；沒有信，富足也是貧窮。 ─譯自屬天的日子 別人歡唱， 我為何悲哭？ 「為了探測苦海的深度。」 別人休息， 我為何工作？ 「為了出力完成神的吩咐。」 別人獲得， 我為何損失？ 「為了體驗失敗的慘痛。」 美好的幸福為你所有， 為何厄運偏糾纏我， 自朝至暮？ 「因為神知道如此的安排， 將使我在永恆中獲得無上豐富。」

March 7 "We are troubled on every side." (2 Cor. 7:5.) ＷHY should God have to lead us thus, and allow the pressure to be so hard and constant? Well, in the first place, it shows His all-sufficient strength and grace much better than if we were exempt from pressure and trial. "The treasure is in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us." It makes us more conscious of our dependence upon Him. God is constantly trying to teach us our dependence, and to hold us absolutely in His hand and hanging upon His care. This was the place where Jesus Himself stood and where He wants us to stand, not with self-constituted strength, but with a hand ever leaning upon His, and a trust that dare not take one step alone. It teaches us trust. There is no way of learning faith except by trial. It is God's school of faith, and it is far better for us to learn to trust God than to enjoy life. The lesson of faith once learned, is an everlasting acquisition and an eternal fortune made; and without trust even riches will leave us poor. ─Days of Heaven upon Earth. "Why must I weep when others sing? `To test the deeps of suffering.' Why must I workd while others rest? `To spend my strength at God's request.' Why must I lose while others gain? `To understand defeat's sharp pain.' Why must this lot of life be mine When that which fairer seems is thine? `Because God knows what plans for me Shall blossom in eternity.'"

三月七日 神所尋找的代禱者 「耶路撒冷啊，我在你城上設立守望的，他們晝夜必不靜默。呼籲耶和華的，你們不要歇息，也不要使他歇息。」以賽亞書六十二章6—7節 守望者通常是設立在城牆上，隨時可將要臨到的危險通知官長。神設立的守望者不僅是他們警戒世人——通常人都不願聽——並且要他們有需要或敵人威脅時，呼喊神來幫助他們。代禱者最大的特點乃是晝夜不靜默、不歇息，也不使神歇息，直到神的拯救來臨。他們心中確知神必垂聽他們的禱告。 就是為著這件事，主耶穌說：「神的選民晝夜呼籲祂，祂豈不終久給他們伸冤嗎？」我們到處聽到神的教會受到世界及其世俗觀念的影響，已逐漸失去對信徒的影響力。罪人悔改及神子民聖潔的見證已不多見。大多數的基督徒全然忽略了基督要他們有份於祂國度之擴充的呼召。聖靈的能力經歷得非常有限。 在有關於如何使青年人、老人對神的話發生興趣，如何喚起他們對神事務服事的愛心等的談論中，聽不到多少不可或缺之聖靈的能力，在教會的服事及弟兄姊妹中間。由於禱告之缺乏，因而看不到甚麼信心及悔改的標記：聖靈的工作顯得非常微弱。唯有同心迫切地禱告才能導致轉變。如果神的選民向神晝夜呼籲，則時間該是現在。親愛的讀者，你不願意將自己獻給神有份於此蒙福的代禱工作嗎？你不樂意學習將代禱視為一生中最高的特權，使你得以成為一條途徑，使神的祝福能藉著你的代禱而被帶到地上來嗎？ 禱告： 永遠可稱頌的神啊，求您垂聽我們的祈求，求您親自興起您所喜悅的代禱者。求您賜給我們專以您的事為念的人，從不歇息地向您祈求，直等到您再一次使您的教會在地上成為可讚美的器皿。可稱頌的父啊，您的靈教導我們如何禱告。阿們。

三月七日 大膽的發光 「然而靠著愛我們的主，在這一切的事上，已經得勝有餘了。」羅馬書八章37節 保羅是說到那些似乎將聖徒和神的愛分開的事。但奇妙的，是沒有甚麼能將神的愛和聖徒截成兩段。這些事能夠來到聖徒的心靈和神之間，使個人生命與神脫離關係，但是沒有甚麼事能使神的愛與聖徒的靈截成兩段。我們基督徒信仰的基石，是神在十字架上所表現的愛，這種愛是我們從不配，也永不配得的。保羅說，這就是我們在這一切的事上得勝有餘──萬能的得勝者──的原因，而這樣的快樂是因著那些像要壓倒我們的事得到的。 浮浪的海潮，固使平常游泳者感覺困難，而在善於游泳者，以浮浪的海潮為無上的樂事。把這應用到我們的情景上來，這些事──患難、困苦、逼迫都使我們有無上的快樂；是不應當拒絕的。我們靠著主，在這一切的事上，已經得勝有餘了，不是忍受這些事，卻是要在這些事當中得勝。聖徒從不輕視患難，卻因患難而知道主的快樂。保羅說：「就是在患難中，也是歡歡喜喜的。」（羅五3） 大膽的發光不是建在任何暫時的事情上，卻是建在不能更改的神的愛上。生活的經驗，無論是恐怖或是乏味，是不能觸及我們的主耶穌基督裡所表現的神的愛。

三月七日 「……施比受更為有福。」使徒行傳二十章35節 我們如何知道肉體的和屬天的愛差別何在？屬肉體的愛以自我為中心，而且只追求滿足自我。屬天的愛則以愛神、愛人為中心，以榮耀、讚美祂為喜樂。真愛是不自私的，所以若不是不自私的愛，就不是從神來的。 讓我們想想，我們給別人的有多少，為自己求的有多少？我們生命的中心是我們自己，還是主、或是祂的子民和事工呢？ 求神更加幫助我們瞭解這個施比受更為有福的偉大真理。「因為凡要救自己生命的，必喪掉生命；凡為我和福音喪掉生命的，必救了生命。」(可八35) 你若曾找到一些珍貴的寶藏， 就該與人分享。 你若曾享受到屬靈的喜樂， 就該與人分享。 給掉一半，擁有的卻加倍， 而愛更能使一切祝福都增加。 所以讓我們更勤勞地事奉， 學習與人分享。
