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.

一月廿七日 「那賜諸般恩典的神，曾在基督裏召你們，得享祂永遠的榮耀，等你們暫受苦難之後，必要親自成全你們，堅固你們，賜力量給你們。」彼得前書五章10節 當我們和基督結合進入新的關係之時，我們首先要有足夠的智慧使自己認識，我們應該始終保持這個關係。在這開頭，任何疑問的陰影，都會破壞我們的親密。看清了這一點之後，我們必須大膽作承擔的抉擇，就像樹木種在泥土中，或新娘在禮壇前許配終身一樣，確定自己的地位。必須永遠不渝，即無保留，亦無反悔的餘地。 然後，要經過一段試煉和培植的時期，在這個期間，我們必須堅毅穩定，直到新的關係變為根深蒂固的常規。臂膊折了骨，使它避免任何震動。神也要給祂的子女按上了精神的夾板，使他們安定不動，直到他們通過信心的第一階段。對於我們，這不一定是容易的，「但賜我們以一切恩典的神，曾在基督裏召你們，得享祂永遠的榮耀，等你們暫受苦難之後，必要親自成全你們，堅固你們，賜力量給你們。」 ─辛浦生 罪惡和痛患，都有一條相通的自然律；如果我們讓自己去陷入它們的不良趨勢之中，我們就會沈淪下去，落入魔鬼的掌。但握在耶穌基督裏，另有一條關於精神生活和肉體生活的定律，可使我們超升，藉此抵制或克服那另一條使我們沈淪的自然律。 但要達到此目的，必須具有真正的精神力量，堅決的志願，安定的情緒，和恆常的信心。這就像我們在工廠裏運用動力一樣。我們必須使輪機繼續運轉。因為動力是存在的，但我們必須保持聯繫，有了這個聯繫之後，動力發生了作用，整個機器也就開動了。 有一條精神生活的定律，要我們在和神同行時，有選擇的決斷，有信仰的恆心，和堅固的執著，聖靈之使我們神聖化和救治我們，這條定律是整個緊要的關鍵。 ─屬天的日子

January 27 "Stablish, strengthen, settle you." (1 Peter 5:10.) ＩN taking Christ in any new relationship, we must first have sufficient intellectual light to satisfy our mind that we are entitled to stand in this relationship. The shadow of a question here will wreck our confidence. Then, having seen this, we must make the venture, the committal, the choice, and take the place just as definitely as the tree is planted in the soil, or the bride gives herself away at the marriage altar. It must be once for all, without reserve, without recall. Then there is a season of establishing, settling and testing, during which we must "stay put" until the new relationship gets so fixed as to become a permanent habit. It is just the same as when the surgeon sets the broken arm. He puts it in splints to keep it from vibration. So God has His spiritual splints that He wants to put upon His children and keep them quiet and unmoved until they pass the first stage of faith. It is not always easy work for us. "but the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Jesus Christ, after that ye have suffered awhile, stablish, strengthen, settle you." ─A. B. Simpson. There is a natural law in sin and sickness; and if we just let ourselves go and sink into the trend of circumstances, we shall go down and sink under the power of the tempter. But there is another law of spiritual life and of physical life in Christ Jesus to which we can rise, and through which we can counterpoise and overcome the other law that bears us down. But to do this requires real spiritual energy and fixed purpose and a settled posture and habit of faith. It is just the same as when we use the power in our factory. We must turn on the belt and keep it on. The power is there, but we must keep the connection; and while we do so, the higher power will work and all the machinery will be in operation. There is a spiritual law of choosing, believing, abiding, and holding steady in our walk with God, which is essential to the working of the Holy Ghost either in our sanctification or healing. ─Days of Heaven upon Earth.

一月廿七日 基督徒的剛強 「我還有末了的話，我的弟兄們，你們要在主裡，並在祂力量的權能裡剛強起來。」以弗所書六章10節原文 當使徒要結束以弗所書的時候，他就用這句話作為最後的一段：「我還有末了的話，我的弟兄們，你們要在主裡剛強起來。」 基督徒需要剛強，這是我們都知道的；然而基督徒的本身並沒有剛強的力量，這也是真的。剛強的力量從那裡來呢？請注意這裡的答覆：「你們要在主裡，並在祂力量的權能裡剛強起來。」 保羅在以弗所書一章17—19節，也曾說到這個能力。他求神將聖靈賜給他們，使他們認識神權能之力量運行的能力，也就是神在基督身上運行，使祂從死人中復活的能力，是何等超越的浩大。這是一個實際的真理。祂那超越浩大，而使基督從死人中復活的能力，今又也在每一個信徒裡面作工。親愛的讀者啊！這個能力就在我裡面，也在你裡面作工。我們很不容易相信這個真理，我們所經歷的更是少。這就是保羅要禱告的原因。我們也必須和他一同禱告，好叫神藉祂的聖靈能教導我們相信祂的大能大力。請用你的全心來禱告說：「父阿，求您賜給我智慧的靈，好叫我在我的生活中能經歷這個能力。」 在三章16、17節裡，保羅求父按著祂榮耀的豐富，藉著祂的靈，用能力叫信徒們在裡面的人剛強起來，使基督住在他們心裡；他又說：「願榮耀歸給祂，——歸給那能照著在我們裡面運行的能力，極其充足的成就一切，超過我們所求所想的神。」 請再讀這兩處聖經，並求神的靈照亮你的眼睛。相信神的大能運行在你裡面。也求聖靈把這一個啟示給你，使你能支取神的應許，就是神要在你裡面彰顯祂的能力，來供給你一切的需要。你若要在裡面經歷神的能力，你豈不覺得需要花上時間，甚至花上更多的時間來與父和子交通麼？

一月廿七日 細察與細思 「不要為生命憂慮。」馬太福音六章25節 掛慮世俗，是應該反覆提醒的一個警告。財富的慾望萌動，其他的慾望便跟著侵入了，將必把神所賦予我們的一切都阻窒了。我們絕不能擺脫這種如潮水般的試探。如果這種試探不在衣食方面，必在錢或缺錢的方面；不在朋友或缺少朋友方面；必在處境困難的方面；時時刻刻的侵襲我們；除非我們讓神的靈揭起旗徽來反抗；不然，這情形將如潮水一般的臨到。 「不要為生命憂慮」。「只要留心一件事」就是我們與主的關係。常識以為：我必得考慮怎能生活，必得考慮怎樣吃喝，怎樣怎樣等等問題，「那是無稽之談」。耶穌說你們絕對不要如此。不要以為耶穌的話是不明瞭我們特殊情形的。耶穌基督知道我們的情形，比我們所知道的還要清晰。祂說，我們不必想到這些事，把它們看為我們生活唯一的事情。無論何時，有我們與神的關係爭強比勝的事發生，我們總得將我們與神的關係放在最前面。 「一天的難處一天當就彀了。」（太六34）今天有多少難處來威迫我們呢？有些不長進的小鬼前來相擾，向我們說：「我們下月──本夏天──準備做甚麼呢？」耶穌說：「不要憂慮。」細察細想一下。保持你們的心在：「……何況你們在天上的父呢？」這種態度之下。

一月廿七日 「我只有一件事，就是忘記背後，努力面前的。」腓立比書三章13節 撒但最喜歡的手下之一是鐵路的轉轍手，因為撒但最喜歡藉著牠，把神載滿祝福、使命以及聖潔目的的特快火車弄出軌。 撒但經常藉著各樣的事，使一個熱心的人分散注意力、失去力量、佔據他的思想。有時是一些小刺激，有時則利用些小委屈的事，阻止一個人繼續追求或是調整自己。有時撒但讓一個人對別人的事情有興趣，並且改變自己的方向。往往在他知道事情真相之前，他早已不自覺地醉心於那些轉移他生命目標的雜事。 也許對他而言不會造成任何傷害，但他卻逐漸遠離正道。所以讓我們避開這些雜事，不讓困難成為我們的絆腳石。但是無論處境如何，讓我們沈著地、不受引誘地努力面前的。並且在朝著目標奔跑時大聲說：「我只有一件事，就是忘記背後，努力面前的。」
