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.

二月廿五日 「凡你們腳掌所踏之地，我都……賜給你們了。」約書亞記一章3節 今天除了有許多地方我們還沒有得來歸主以外，還有許多神給的應許，我們也沒有得到。神對約書亞講甚麼呢？「凡你們腳掌所踏之地，我都……賜給你們了」，於是神也把那應許之地的地界畫給他們看——只要是他們腳掌走遍的地方，都歸給他們。 可是他們從來沒有完全走遍所指定的境地，他們只走遍地的三分之一；結果，他們從來沒有完全得著，他們只得著地的三分之一；他們所得著的，正是他們所走遍的，一點都不多。 在彼得後書，我們看見「主所應許的尚未成就」，神的旨意仍舊要我們用信心和順服的腳掌去走遍，然後纔得到。 今天我們中間有多少信徒曾藉基督的名得到神應許的實現呢？ 在我們面前有一塊寬廣的地業，需要我們用信心的腳掌去走遍的，可是我們至今還沒有起步。 讓我們起來去佔有神給我們的一切產業罷！讓我們舉目向東西南北觀看，聽神對我們說：「凡你所看見的一切地，我都要賜給你。」（創十三14—15） ─裴爾遜 凡是猶大腳當所踏之地，就歸猶大；凡是便雅憫所踏之地，就歸便雅憫。每支派都是這樣，只要腳掌一踏下去，那地就歸他們，這樣，你想，豈不是他們的腳掌一踏下去的時候，立刻就會頂自然地覺得：「這是我的了？」 有一次，有人問一位年老而靈歷很深的弟兄：「但以理，為甚麼你有這樣多的平安與喜樂？」他回答說：「哦，先生！我只僕在神極大、極寶貝的應許上，把神應許中一切的豐富算作我的，我就得著了。榮耀啊！榮耀啊！」凡僕在神應許上的，就得著神所有的豐富。 ─譯自信報

February 25 "Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you." (Joshua 1:3.) ＢESIDE the literal ground, unoccupied for Christ, there is the unclaimed, untrodden territory of Divine promises. What did God say to Joshua? "Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you," and then He draws the outlines of the Land of Promise─all theirs on one condition: that they shall march through the length and breadth of it, and measure it off with their own feet. They never did that to more than one-third of the property, and consequently they never had more than one-third; they had just what they measured off, and no more. In 2 Peter, we read of the "land of promise" that is opened up to us, and it is God's will that we should, as it were, measure off that territory by the feet of obedient faith and believing obedience, thus claiming and appropriating it for our own. How many of us have ever taken possession of the promises of God in the name of Christ? Here is a magnificent territory for taith to lay hold on and march through the length and breadth of, and faith has never done it yet. Let us enter into all our inheritance. Let us lift up our eyes to the north and to the south, to the east and to the west, and hear Him say, "All the land that thou seest will I give to thee." ─A. T. Pierson. Wherever Judah should set his foot that should be his; wherever Benjamin should set his foot, that should be his. Each should get his inheritance by setting his foot upon it. Now, think you not, when either had set his foot upon a given territory, he did not instantly and instinctively feet, "This is mine"? An old colored man, who had a marvelous experience in grace, was asked: "Daniel, why is it that you have so much peace and joy in religion?" "O Massa!" he replied, "I just fall flat on the exceeding great and precious promises, and I have all that is in them. Glory!" He who falls flat on the promises feels that all the riches embraced in them are his. ─Faith Papers.

二月廿五日 神的道 「神的道是活潑的，是有功效的。」希伯來書四章12節 與神相交，祂的道和禱告，兩者都是必須的；這兩件事在內室中是不能分離的。在祂的道（話）裡，神對我說話；在禱告中，我對神說話。 神的道教導我們認識我們所禱告的神；也告訴我們，神如何喜歡我們禱告。也給我們寶貝的應許，鼓勵我們去禱告；並且也常使我們的禱告得著奇妙的答應。神的道是從神的心裡來的，將神的意念和愛心帶進我們的心裡。然後又從我們的心裡回到神偉大、充滿了愛的心裡，禱告就是神的心與我們的心相交的憑藉。 神的道指教我們明白神的旨意——一方面是祂應許的旨意，關於祂所要為我們作的，使我們的信心得到餵養；另一面是祂命令的旨意，要我們在愛中學習順服。 我越禱告，就越覺得需要神的話，也越因神的話而喜樂。我越多讀神的話，就越充滿了禱告，也越有禱告的能力。沒有禱告的一大原因，就是我們讀神的話讀的太少，或者只是表面的讀，或者只是在人的智慧裡讀。神的道只有藉著聖靈說出來，聖靈也是禱告的靈。祂要教導我們，如何接受神的道，並如何去親近神。 如果我們從神那裡接受神的道，將道化成我們的禱告，也確定的盼望得著答應，這樣的交通將成為何等的祝福，我們的敬拜，將有何等的能力和靈感呢。在內室中，在神面前的隱密處，神的道要藉著聖靈成為我們的喜樂和力量。 神的道在我們心中最深的敬畏裡，並在我們的嘴唇上，以及在我們的生活上，必成為永遠不止息的能力和祝福的泉源。讓我們相信神的道實在是充滿了活潑的力量，能使我們剛強並快樂的盼望，從神那裡接受大的東西。最要緊的，他能帶領我們與那活的神每天都有祝福的相交。 「惟喜愛耶和華的律法，晝夜思想，這人便為有福。」（詩一1）

二月廿五日 缺乏服務 「難道我越發愛你們，就少得你們的愛麼？」哥林多後書十二章15節 自然的愛是盼望圖報的，但是保羅說：「我不管你們愛不愛我，我願意變為赤貧，這不但為你們的緣故，卻是想引你們歸向神。」「因為你們知道我們主耶穌基督的恩典，祂本來富足，卻為了你們成了貧窮。」保羅服務的觀念，恰恰是這樣──「我不管怎樣犧牲，我是甘心如此的。」也是所謂樂意的事。 教會對於神僕人的觀念與耶穌基督不同。耶穌的觀念是我們服事別人，作別人的僕人，就是服事祂。耶穌基督服務社會是超過了社會主義者。祂說。在祂的國裡算為最大的，就是作眾人的僕人。聖徒真實的測驗，不是宣傳福音，卻是洗門徒的腳，那就是說，人所認為不重要的事，神卻認為最重要的。保羅樂意因神對人類具有的興趣而犧牲自己，而不問代價如何。我們常帶著經濟的動機來規定事情──「如果神要我往那裡去──薪水怎樣？氣候怎樣？人們對我怎樣？無論何人必要考慮這些事。」這一切的一切，表示我們在服事神上留有餘地。保羅在他的生活中，可以代表耶穌在新約中所理想的聖徒，他不僅是宣傳福音，卻是為別人的生命，在耶穌基督的手裡，成為擘開的餅和傾出的酒！

二月廿五日 「我是葡萄樹，你們是枝子……」約翰福音十五章5節 我們如何接受基督做潔淨我們的主，或是醫治我們的神？這個問題經常掛在人們的嘴裡。 答案是，首先我們必須有信心，而且信心的獲得必須靠意志的行為，直到信心變成我們不變的習性。這就好像種一棵樹，你得先以行動把樹種到土裡。然後你必須把樹留在土裡，讓它紮根，直到它的細根能緊緊地深入地裡，從土壤中吸收養分。 這個過程有兩個階段：先種植樹，然後樹根自然習慣地從土裡吸收水分及養分。樹的鬚根必須有充分時間成長，直到它們能用海綿的毛孔，從土壤中得著營養。當那個階段達到之後，樹就可以固定不改變、不費力地由土裡汲取生命；那時它的成長就像我們呼吸一樣的自然。 主啊！求您幫助我住在您裡面，讓我養成從您那裡吸取生命的習慣，使我能真實地說：「我們生活、動作、存留，都在乎祂……。」(徒十七28)
