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.

二月十四日 「我再說你們要喜樂。」腓立比書四章4節 在主裏喜樂，何其佳美！也許你曾試過要凡事喜樂，可是不久即告失敗。不要緊，仍繼續下去，當你不能感覺喜樂，沒有可以喜樂的理由、安慰、和鼓勵時，仍該喜樂，算作喜樂。甚至當你落在百般試煉中的時候，仍要算作喜樂；這樣，神就要證明你的「算」不是徒然的。你想你的父親會不會讓你舉著得勝和喜樂的旗號到前線去，然後他冷冷地向後一退，任憑你被仇敵擄去擊敗呢？決不！父的聖靈必定會在你勇敢地前進的時候支持你，將喜樂和讚美充滿你的心，那時候你就會因著裏面的充滿感到非常的新鮮和歡樂了。主啊，教導我們怎樣在你裏面喜樂，「常常喜樂」（帖前五16） ─選 「向撒但高唱對主的讚美， 最弱的聖徒， 也能擊敗魔鬼。」 「要被聖靈充滿……口唱心和的讚美主。」（弗五18—19） 這裏使徒保羅勸我們用歌唱讚美來增進我們的靈命。 他勸告讀者，要從靈裏尋求激勵，而不是外表的興奮，不是求肉體的刺激，乃是求靈裏的歡欣。 「聖徒以歌頌讚美神， 時常會見到光明的驟臨。」 讓我們不斷地歌唱讚美，甚至不喜歡唱的時候也唱：這或許可你使你沈滯的腿上有似添了活潑的翅翼，轉變疲乏成為力量。 ─喬懷得 「約在半夜，保羅和西拉，禱告唱詩讚美神；眾囚犯也側耳而聽。」（徒十六25） 哦！使徒保羅，你真是眾聖徒的表率，你能彀這樣榮耀神，你「身上帶著耶穌的印記！」（加六17） 你有被石擲傷的記號三次棍打的傷疤，猶太人給你的一百九十五鞭的鞭痕，腓立比監獄中無數的血斑！你靠著恩典還能在受苦的牢獄中唱出讚美來。啊，我相信那恩典一定是彀用的恩典！ ─羅區 魔鬼的飛箭如雨而來， 我們永遠在主裏歡喜， 從古到今， 撒但總有牠的戒心， 我們的歌唱， 遠勝我們的哀嘆。

February 14 "And again I say, Rejoice." (Phil. 4:4.) ＩT is a good thing to rejoice in the Lord. Perhaps you have tried this, and the first time seemed to fail. Never mind, keep right on and when you cannot feel any joy, when there is no spring, and no seeming comfort and encouragement, still rejoice, and count it all joy. Even when you fall into divers temptations, reckon it joy and delight and God will make your reckoning good. Do you suppose your Father will let. you carry the banner of His victory and His giadness on to the front of the battle, and then coolly stand banck and see you captured or beaten back by the enemy? NEVER! The Holy Spirit will sustain you in your bold advance, and fill your heart with gladness and praise, and you will find your heart all exhilarated and refreshed by the fullness within. Lord teach me to rejoice in Thee, and to "rejoice evermore." ─Selected. "The weakest saint may Satan rout, Who meets him with a praiseful shout." "Be filled with the Spirit,....singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord." (Eph. 5:18, 19.) Here the Apostle urges the use of singing as one of the inspiring helps in the spiritual life. he counsels his readers not to seek their stimulus through the body, but through the spirit; not by the quickening of the flesh, but by the exaltation of the soul. "Sometimes a light surpirses The Christian while he sings." Let us sing even when we do not feel like it, for thus we may give wings to leaden feet and turn weariness into strength. ─J. H. Jowett. "At midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them." (Acts 16:25.) Oh, Paul, thou wondrous example to the flock, who could thus glory, bearing in the body as thou didst "the marks of the Lord Jesus"! Marks from stoning almost to the death, from thrice beating with rods, from those hundred and ninety-five stripes laid on thee by the Jews, and from stripes received in that Philippian jail, which had they not drawn blood would not have called for washing! Surely the grace which enabled thee to sing praises under such suffering is all-sufficient grace. ─J. Roach. "Oh, let us rejoice in the Lord, evermore, When darts of the tempter are flying, For Satan still dreads, as he oft did of yore, Our singing much more than our sighing."

二月十四日 主的隱密處 「進入你的內屋，關上門，禱告你在暗中的父；你父在暗中察看，必然報答你。」馬太福音六章6節 基督非常盼望祂的門徒認識神是他們的父，與祂有隱密的交通。在基督的生活裡，祂認識在隱密處遇見神，這不只是必須的，也是最高的喜樂，祂也要我們認識，若沒有每天與天上的父相交，否則要作一個真實全心向著主的門徒是不可能的。天上的父是在隱密處等待我們。 神是一位把祂自己從世界和一切屬乎世界的裡頭隱藏起來的神。神也要我們從世界和我們的自己裡出來。祂要叫我們得著與祂又親密又深入的相交祝福。哦！但願神的兒女們都明白這個！ 舊約裡的信徒曾享受過這個經歷。「您是我隱藏之所。」「住在至高者隱密處的，必住在全能者的蔭下。」「主與敬畏祂的人親密。」今天，新約的基督徒更當看重這個與神隱密的相交。我們讀過：「你們已經死了，你們的生命與基督一同藏在神裡面。」如果我們真的相信這個，我們就要充滿喜樂地說：我們的生命，與基督一同藏在神裡面。蒙祂這樣聖潔的保守，是極其平安，任何的仇敵都不能加害。我們必須逐日堅定地尋求，在禱告我們暗中的父裡，得著屬靈生命的更新。 我們與基督一同死了，有分於祂的死，也必有分於祂的復活；我們知道樹的根是藏在地底下的，所以我們每天生活的根，也必須深深地隱藏在神裡面。 心哪！「您必把我藏在您面前的隱藏處。」（詩卅一20） 我們禱告的第一個思想，必須是：我知道，我是單獨地與神同在，並且神也與我同在。 「（祂）把我藏在祂帳幕的隱密處。」（詩廿七5）

二月十四日 留心訓練 「我在暗中告訴你們的，你們要在明處說出來；你們耳中所聽的，要在房上宣揚出來。」馬太十章27節 有時，神使我們親經黑暗的訓練，教訓我們，是要我們留心祂。教鳥鳴唱是在暗地裡，而神也是把我們放在祂手的陰暗裡教我們，直到我們學會了聽祂。「我在暗中告訴你們的」──你們要留心神將你們放在黑暗的地方，當你們在那裡的時候，須要緘口不言。你們現在是處在黑暗的環境中呢？還是你們在與神聯合的生命中呢？應當靜聽。如果你們在黑暗中開口，便是說得不得其時，因為黑暗是敬聽的時候。不要向別人說話！不要從書中找求黑暗的原因，只要留心靜聽，如果你們與別人說話，你們就不能聽見神的聲音。當你們在黑暗裡的時候，還是以靜聽為是。神必要給你們一個為別人極寶貴的消息，也就是要你們在明處說出來的消息。 每次經過黑暗以後，快樂和屈辱相偕而至（如果只有快樂，我們是否能聽見神，倒成問題），為了聽神說話而快樂，同時也有很大的屈辱──「費多少時候，我才聽見啊！我的瞭解是怎樣遲鈍啊！然而神是無時無刻不在說話哩！」祂現在賜與你們那屈辱的禮物，使你們的心軟化起來，能常常靜聽神的聲音！

二月十四日 「……祂要用……火給你施洗。」馬太福音三章11節 火不僅異常地強烈且是很實在的，它只要一接觸到任何東西，就會與其完全融合。 有些試煉對較為脆弱的人而言極為嚴厲，使在試煉中的人受到很多傷害。在越大的試煉裡，雖然有越大的喜樂，但是隨之而來的痛苦也會更大。 也有些試煉儘管深，但是我們不僅能將其交託在神手裡，並且能超越其對我們身體及心志上的打擊，而得到靈裡的造就。當這樣的試煉來臨時，我們恐慌退縮、心中往往會想：「這樣的事不可能出自愛我們的天父，我也不需要這樣的試煉。」 然而，這些痛苦及災難的確是神所允許的，因為祂就像提煉、淨化銀子的機器。當祂讓我們接受火般的試煉時，祂似乎讓我們燒成灰燼一般。但是我們能藉著信心得勝，當我們不再害怕試煉時，試煉就不會再傷害我們。正如以賽亞書四十三章2節所說的：「……你火中行過，必不被燒，火焰也不著在你身上。」
