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.

二月十一日 「等到……祭司把腳站在……水裏，……水……必然斷絕。」（約書亞記三章13節） 百姓必須憑信向前進，並不能在營中坐待外面的路開通了之後方纔起行。他們必須拔營開步、整裝束荷、排齊隊伍、直達河邊，雖然河水還沒有起變化。 到了河邊，若是他們想停在那裏，等河水分開了，然後伸足下水，他們定規空等，定規到今天還在河東。他們在水斷絕之前，必須先舉足涉水。 讓我們也學習怎樣用信心抓住神的話前進，不看前面的道路能否通行。我們常受攔阻和難處的挫折，都是因為我們想等神先替我們開路，挪去了一切的攔阻和難處，然後再試著前行。這是何等的錯誤。若是神要我們向前衝，我們就憑著信心抓住祂的話語向前衝，好像一無攔阻一般，路自然會為我們一步步地敞開。 ─譯自晚思 他背後躺著灰色的亞速爾島， 已經遠離了直布羅陀海峽， 前面看不見海岸的影子； 茫茫大海， 白浪滔天。 船上的大副說： 「我們必須禱告， 看哪！星星都已隱湮。 勇敢的船長， 我該怎麼下令？」 你說： 「駛向前去！向前！向前！」 「我的船員一天比一天更想叛變， 他們形容憔悴， 衰弱可憐，」 大副這樣報告， 心中思念家鄉。 鹹澀的浪花濺上他黝黑的臉。 「我該怎樣下令， 英勇的船長， 假若明早仍只見海水無邊？」 「哦，破曉的時候你該說， 駛向前去！向前！向前」 他們繼續航行， 大副說道： 「今夜狂暴的海洋露出了獠牙， 掀開了唇， 張開了大嘴， 好像要吞滅我們， 咬死我們！ 英勇的船長， 只求你說一句話； 希望已渺， 無法持守！」 但船長的話如利刃出鞘說： 「駛向前去！向前！向前」 他精疲力竭， 苦守甲板， 從黑暗中遠遠眺望， 有一夜， 忽然遙見一點微光， 光明！光明！光明已在望！ 它的發展， 就是日後的旗旌， 時代的黎明， 展開在黑暗之間， 他達到了那新世界， 並且給那世界一個最偉大的啟示， 「駛向前去！向前！」 ─密勒 憑著信心前進，即是勝利。

February 11 "As soon as the soles of the feet of the priests....shall rest in the waters....the waters shall be cut off."(Joshua 3:13.) ＴHE people were not to wait in their camps until the way was opened, they were to walk by faith. They were to break camp, pack up their goods, form in line to march, and move down to the very banks before the river would be opened. If they had come down to the edge of the river and then had stopped for the stream to divide before they stepped into it, they would have waited in vain. They must take one step into the water before the river would be cut off. We must learn to take God at His Word, and go straight on in duty, although we see no way in which we can go forward. The reason we are so often balked by difficulties is that we expect to see them removed before we try to pass through them. If we would move straight on in faith, the path would be opended for us. We stand still, waiting for the obstacle to be removed, when we ought to go forward as if there were no obstacles. ─Evening Thoughts. Behind him lay the gray Azores, Behind the gates of Hercules; Before him not the ghost of shores, Before him only shoreless seas. The good Mate said:" Now we must pray, For lo! the very stars are gone. Brave Admiral, speak, what shall I say?" "Why, say, `Sail on! sail on! and on!" "My men grow mutinous day by day; My men grow ghastly wan and weak!" The stout Mate thought of home; a spray, of salt wave washed his swarthy cheek. "What shall I say, brave Admiral, say, If we sight naught but seas at dawn?" "Why, you shall say at break of day, 'Sail on! sail on! sail on! and on!'" They sailed. They sailed. Then spoke the Mate: "This mad sea shows its teeth tonight. He curls his lip, he lies in wait, With lifted teeth, as if to bite! Brave Admiral, say but one good word; What shall we do when hope is gone?" The words leapt like a leaping sword: "Sail on! sail on! sail on! and on!" Then, pale and worn, he kept his deck, And peered through darkness. Ah! that night Of all dark nights! And then a speck─ A light! A light! A light! A light! It grew, a starlit flag unfurled! It grew to be Time's burst of dawn. He gained a world; he gave that world, Its grandest lesson: "On! sail on!" ─Joaquin Miller. Faith that goes forward triumphs.

二月十一日 父神 「奉父、子、聖靈的名給他們施浸。」馬太福音廿八章19節 我們要記得這聖潔三而一的神的意義，有其敬虔的一方面。我們說到神，我們就想到有一個不能想像的距離；這距離將聖潔的神和罪人分開，使我們只能俯伏在極其懊悔和畏懼之中。當我們說到聖子基督，我們就想到與祂之間的距離是近得無法再近的，祂為女子所生，就是為亞當的女兒所生，並且受了咒詛的死，祂是這樣與我們不能分開的聯合直到永遠！我們再說到聖靈，我們就想起神無限的祝福，有祂的同在在我們裡面，使我們成為祂的家和祂的殿，一直到永遠。 當基督教導我們：「我們在天上的父」的時候，祂立刻接著說：「願人都尊您的名為聖，」因為神是聖潔的，所以我們也要聖潔。除了我們尊那名為聖，並藉著禱告親近祂之外，再沒有成聖的路了。 多少時候，我們說到那名，並沒有覺得是一個不可言喻的特權，說出我們與神之間的關係。如果我們肯花時間與神接觸，在祂的父愛裡敬拜祂，我們的內室就要成為天堂的門了。神的兒女，如果你禱告你在暗中的父，在祂面前深深地俯伏，尋求去敬拜最聖潔的名。請你們記得，這就是禱告最高的祝福。 「禱告你在暗中的父，你父在暗中察看，必然報答你。」（太六6） 在隱密處單獨親近神，並喊說：「我的父！」這是何等不可言諭的權利呢？相信祂在暗中察看我，也要在明處報答我。讓我們來學習，直到你能說：「我面對面見了神，我的性命仍得保全。」（創卅二30）

二月十一日 你對神的希望日漸消滅麼？ 「堅心倚賴您的，您必保守他十分平安。」以賽亞書廿六章3節 你寄留想像於神呢？或者你的想像消失了呢？想像的消失，在工人的生命中是一個耗盡和毀滅的源頭。如果你從沒有運用你順服神的想像，就從現在開始吧！等候神到來，是無用的；你必丟下對偶像的想像來仰望祂，就必得救。想像是神賜與我們最偉大的恩賜，應該將想像完全供獻給祂。如果你能約束你各種思想，去順服基督，那麼，當試探來到的時候，這便是信心最大的遺產。因為你的信心和神的靈共同工作起來。尊視神的觀念，利用大自然所表現的一切，去組合──日出和日入，太陽和星宿，氣候的變化──則你的想像就不受你衝動的節制，必是去作服務神的事工。 「我們與我們的祖宗一同犯罪……而遺忘了」──於是放一把小劍在你睡覺的地方。「神現在不與我談話，」但是是不應該與我談話的。謹記你是屬誰的，你服事的是誰，用回想來鼓勵你自己，而你對於神的熱愛必增十倍；你的想像必不再消失，會馬上恢復起來，而你的盼望必有不能言喻的光明。

二月十一日 「……得以在各樣的力上加力，好叫你們凡事……忍耐寬容」歌羅西書一章11節 保羅為歌羅西的聖徒禱告，他盼望他們能照神榮耀的權能、得以在各樣的力上加力，好叫他們凡事歡歡喜喜的忍耐寬容。能夠忍耐，但是滿臉帶著壓力的表現，似乎每條皺紋都在說：「為什麼沒有任何人同情我？」是一回事。然而能夠因擺在我們前面的喜樂，而能背負十字架、輕視羞辱，則完全是另一回事。 在主的花園中，有些樹「炎熱來到，並不懼怕，葉子仍必青翠，在乾旱之年毫無掛慮，而且結果不止。」(耶十七8)讓我們把臉轉向上升的太陽，且將隨風而來雲朵變成奪目的彩虹。 我們再過不多的時候，就不會再有機會在苦難中喜樂，並且學習忍耐。在天堂不會有任何事能教導我們忍受折磨。所以假使我們現在學不會，就永遠無法得到榮耀的冠冕。甚至將來會渴望時光倒流，回到我們現在極力擺脫的多樣情況中。
