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.

一月廿九日 「……神在其中，城必不動搖；到天一亮，神必幫助這城。」詩篇四六篇5節 「必不動搖」——這是何等的宣言！像我們這樣最容易給屬地的東西所搖動的人，竟可以到一個地步，沒有一件東西能彀搖動或是顛覆我們麼？是的，這是絕對可能的事；使徒保羅就懂得這一個秘訣。在他到耶路撒冷去的路上，他已經預見前面「有捆鎖與患難等待」（徒廿23），可是他能夠坦然說：「這些東西沒有一件可以搖動我。」（24節直譯）保羅一生中間，凡是可以搖動的東西，都已經搖動掉了；他並不以性命為念，也不以他所有的為寶貴。照樣，我們如果願意讓神按照祂的方法對付我們，如同對付保羅一般，我們也能彀達到同樣的地步：沒有一件瑣碎的事情，也沒有一件重大的試煉，能夠搖動我們離開平安了。這樣的平安，只有完全安息在神裡面的人們纔有份的。 「得勝的，我要叫他在我神殿中作柱子，他也必不再從那裡出去。」（啟三12）在我神殿中作柱子是不能搖動的；這就是歡喜忍受一切環境的震動的結果 ─司密斯 當神在一個城中，祂使那城像錫安山一般堅固，不能移動分毫。當祂在我們裡面，雖然四週有駭浪怒濤、狂風暴雨，可是在我們裡面仍有恆久的平安；這種平安，是世界所不能給我們的，也是世界所不能奪去我們的。在我們裡面是神，在世人裡面是世界；這就是為甚麼我們能有平安，而他們當風浪來的時候，就會像葉子那樣飄搖不定。 ─萊頓 「倚靠耶和華的人，好像錫安山，永不動搖。」（詩一廿五1） 有一首蘇格蘭古詩，能在我們的血液中注入鐵一般的力量： 以堅定的信心依靠神， 像錫安山那樣站穩腳跟， 永遠屹立， 像鋼鐵般的， 不搖撼， 也不移動毫分。

January 29 "....God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early."(Psa. 46:5.) ＳHALL not be moved"─what an inspiring declaration! Can it be possible that we, who are so easily moved by the things of earth, can arrive at a place where nothing can upset us or disturb our calm? Yes, it is possible; and the Apostle Paul knew it. When he ws on his way to Jerusalem where he foresaw that "bonds and afflictions" awaited him, he could say triumphantly, "But none of these things move me."Everything in Paul's life and experience that could be shaken had been shaken, and he no longer counted his life, or any of life's possessions, dear to him. And we, if we will but let God have His way with us, may come to the same place, so that neither the fret and tear of little things of life, nor the great and heavy trials, can have power to move us from the peace that passeth understanding, which is declared to be the portion of those who have learned to rest only on God. "Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God; and he shall go no more out." To be as immovable as a pillar in the house of our God, is an end for which one would gladly endure all the shakings that may be necessary to bring us there! ─Hannah Whitall Smith. When God is in the midst of a kingdom or city He makes it as firm as Mount Zion, that cannot be removed. When He is in the midst of a soul, though calamities throng about it on all hands, and roar like the billows of the sea, yet there is a constant calm within, such a peace as the world can neither give nor take away. What is it but want of lodging God in the soul, and that in His stead the world is in men's hearts, that makes them shake like leaves at every blast of danger? ─Archbishop Leighton. "They that trust in the Lord shall be as Mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth forever." There is a quaint old Scottish version that puts iron into our blood: "Who sticketh to God in stable trust As Zion's mount he stands full just, Which moveth no whit, nor yet doth reel, But standeth forever as stiff as steel!"

一月廿九日 在基督裡 「你們得在基督耶穌裡，是本乎神。」哥林多前書一章30節 在書信裡，常常用「在基督裡」這個辭。除非一個基督徒有夠多的禱告，也用充足的信心，接受「我是在基督耶穌裡」這個真理，他是無法把神的話讀得準確，也不能在他的生活裡經歷神話語的能力。 當主耶穌最後一個晚上與祂的門徒同在的時候，這句話祂不只說了一次：「到那日」——就是聖靈澆灌下來的時候——「你們就知道我在父裡面，你們在我裡面。」接著又說：「住在我裡面，」「住在我裡面的，這人就多結果子，」「你們若住在我裡面，凡你們所願意的，祈求就給你們成就。」但除非基督徒藉著夠多的禱告，先接受「在基督裡」這個真理，他就不能支取這些應許。 保羅在羅馬書裡也表示同樣的思想：「我們……和祂一同埋葬。」（六4）「我們向罪也當自己是死的，向神在基督耶穌裡，卻當看自己是活的。」（六11）「如今，那些在基督耶穌裡的，就不定罪了。」（八1）在以弗所書裡也說：「神在基督裡，曾賜給我們天上各樣屬靈的福氣。」（一3）「在基督裡揀選了我們；」（一4）「在愛子裡，我們蒙悅納；」（一6）「我們也在祂裡面，蒙了救贖。」（一7）在歌羅西書裡說：「一切的豐盛，都……居住在基督裡面。」（一9）我們各人「在基督裡完完全全的。」（一28）「就當行在祂裡面。」（二6）「你們在祂裡面也得了豐盛。」（二10） 但願我們的信心抓住這幾句話：「那在基督裡堅固我們……的，就是神。」（林後一21）「你們得在基督裡，是本乎神。」（林前一30）聖靈會使之成為我們的經歷。要懇切地禱告，並順從聖靈的引導，這些話就要在你裡面生根，你也就要認識那個屬天的能力。但是請記得，「住在基督裡」乃是一件在心裡的事，所以必須培養在愛的靈裡。只有我們天天花時間與基督有交通，「住在基督裡」才會成為一個有福的確據，並且裡面的人也就要一天新似一天。

一月廿九日 難於相信一個人這樣糊塗 「主啊！您是誰？」使徒行傳廿六章15節 主這樣嚴厲的向我說。當我們的主說話的時候，那是無法逃避的，因為祂有一種令人非瞭解不可的方式。神的聲音曾直接臨到你麼？如果是有的話，你就不會誤會那裡面的要求；因這是用你所能瞭解的話說的，而且不是經過你的耳，卻是經過你的情景。 神要毀棄我們由成見所決定的信念。當我們覺得應當做甚麼的時候，我們就在決定服事祂的方法上表現了無知，祂便忽然間指示我們是極度的無知。我在遵照耶穌的靈服事耶穌，反而以邪魔的靈去提倡祂的道理；這便是我們在宣傳的方法上傷害了祂。──我們的話說得不錯；但是我們的靈是敵人的靈。「祂責備他們說，你們的心如何，你們並不知道。」我們主的靈，在擁護祂者的裡面，在林前十三章已經說得得清楚。 我曾遵照自己的方法，決定服事祂的方式，危逼過耶穌麼？如果我覺得盡了本分，恐怕這種盡分的感覺危害了祂。我敢保險那不是我的本分，因為那不曾培養柔和謙卑的靈，而是造成自矜的靈。我們常揀選難做的事，或不愉快的事作為盡分的標準，這不像我們主的靈。我們的主是說：「我的神！我歡喜遵行您的旨意」。

一月廿九日 「有不能預備的，就分給他。」尼希米記八章10節 先知尼希米提到住棚節的慶祝時，給了我們一幅很清楚的圖畫。他說：「你們去喫肥美的，喝甘甜的，有不能預備的就分給他，……你們不要憂愁、因靠耶和華而得的喜樂是你們的力量。」在我們周圍有許多人沒有能力預備任何東西，讓我們找到一些傷心、貧苦、沒有人關心照顧的人，並且為他們代禱。讓我們像主耶穌一樣，在聖誕節時來到這個不重視祂的世界，即使受排斥、被謀殺也不在意。 儘管我們有時得不到報答，而且被不配得的人糟踏了，讓我們不要怕去愛。因為那才是基督的愛，再說神會補償我們。 雖然基督在面對自私無比的人時非常傷心，但祂還是為他們死了。
