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.

一月卅日 「我必向以色列如甘露。」何西阿書十四章5節 露是代表新鮮，朝氣，活潑。神降露原是為著更新大地，滋潤花草。聖經中也常說起露，用來表明屬靈的更新。神常藉聖靈更新祂的子民，猶如用露更新大地一般。在提多三章5節所說的「聖靈的更新」，就是講聖靈有露珠一般的執事。 許多神的僕人不懂得屬靈的露珠在他們生命中的重要。結果，他們沒有活潑，缺乏朝氣。他們的靈性下沈（甚至枯萎），就是因為沒有靈露的更新。 親愛的同工，你想一個工人能不喫東西，而整天作工麼？你想一個神的工人能不喫屬靈的嗎哪，而專一事奉麼？不，絕對不能。偶然喫一次也是不彀的。你必須每天接受聖靈的更新當作你靈性的滋養。怎樣去接受神的靈露呢？安靜，吸收。到了深夜寂靜時，花草葉子的氣孔都張開了，這時候正是他們受露珠的時候；屬靈的露珠也是這樣，當我們在神前安靜等待的時候，我們就會得到更新和滋潤。急躁不會叫你得到甚麼。安靜等待，直到你沈浸在主的同在裡；然後帶著基督的新鮮和活潑到工場裡去。 ─巴亭登 有風或是有熱的時候，露珠凝結不起來。風必須平靜，熱度必須下降，大氣必須到又靜又冷的一點，露珠纔能凝結在葉子或花瓣上。照樣，神更新的恩典，也是如此；必須等到你的火氣退去、你靈安靜，然後神纔降甘露滋潤你。 ─選 滴下您安靜的露珠， 讓我們也一切寧靜， 卸卻靈魂的緊張與重負， 在生活中反映出您的美麗和平意境。 為人慾而奔騰的脈搏， 需要一劑鎮定與清涼， 不必再狂跳和慌張， 風火地震的大變動中， 依舊寧靜安詳。

January 30 "I will be as the dew unto Israel." (Hosea 14:5.) ＴHE dew is a source of freshness. It is nature's provision for renewing the face of the earth. It falls at night, and without it the vegetation would die. It is this great value of the dew which is so often recognized in the Scriptures. It is used as the symbol of spiritual refreshing. Just as nature is bathed in dew, so the Lord renews His people. In Titus 3:5 the same thought of spiritual refreshing is connected with the ministry of the Holy Ghost─"renewing of the Holy Ghost." Many Christian workers do not recognize the importance of the heavenly dew in their lives, and as a result they lack freshness and vigor. Their spirits are drooping for lack of dew. Beloved fellow-worker, you recognize the folly of a laboring man attempting to do his day's work without eating. Do you recognize the folly of a servant of God attempting to minister without eating of the heavenly manna? Nor will it suffice to have spiritual nourishment occasionally. Every day you must receive the renewing of the Holy Ghost. You know when your whole being is pulsating with the vigor and freshness of Divine life and when you feel jaded and worn. Quietness and absorption bring the dew. At night when the leaf and blade are still, the vegetable pores are open to receive the refreshing and invigorating bath; so spiritual dew comes from quiet lingering in the Master's presence. Get still before Him. Haste will prevent your receiving the dew. Wait before God until you feel saturated with His presence; then go forth to your next duty with the conscious freshness and vigor of Christ. ─Dr. Pardington. Dew will never gather while there is either heat or wind. The temperature must fall, and the wind cease, and the air come to a point of coolness and rest─absolute rest, so to speak─before it can yield up its invisible particles of moisture to bedew either herb or flower. So the grace of God does not come forth to rest the soul of man until the still point is fairly and fully reached. "Drop Thy still dews of quietness, Till all our strivings cease: Take from our souls the strain and stress; And let our ordered lives confess The beauty of Thy peace. "Breathe through the pulses of desire Thy coolness and Thy balm; let sense be dumb, its beats expire: Speak through the earthquake, wind and fire, O still small voice of calm!"

一月卅日 基督在我裡面 「豈不知……就有耶穌基督在你們心裡麼？」哥林多後書十三章5節 使徒的意思，是要每一個基督徒都能活在這樣完全確實的信心中，就是「基督在我裡面」。若是每天早晨，我們都有一段時間，被「基督在我裡面」這個思想所充滿，我們的生活就要有何等的不同呢！我在基督裡是如何確定，照樣，基督在我裡面也是同樣的確定。 在最後一個晚上，基督很清楚地告訴門徒，聖靈要來教導他們一件事，就是「到那日，你們就知道我在父裡面，你們在我裡面，我也在你們裡面。」首先，是你們在我裡面。藉著神的能力，我們所有相信的人，都已經與基督一同釘死，又與祂一同復活，結果就是基督在我們裡面。但是這件事是不容易認識的。基督徒需要用信心接受神的話語，這樣，聖靈就要引導我們進入一切的真理。請今天就花時間在禱告裡認識這個福分，也支取這個福分。 保羅在以弗所書三章十六節的禱告中是何等清楚的表示這個思想：「求他按著他榮耀的豐富賞給你們……（英譯）」請注意，保羅所求的並不是普通恩典的賜給，乃是在祂的愛和能力之豐富裡的一個特別啟示。就是祂應許你，藉著祂的靈，用能力叫你到裡面的人裡剛強起來，好使基督因著信，住在你們心裡。你已經抓住了這個應許麼？基督徒的確能經歷被神一切的豐滿所充滿。 親愛的弟兄們！保羅曾說：「我在父面前屈膝。」這就是得著這個福分唯一的路。請在內室裡花時間來認識：「基督住在我裡面。」我在已往對這個經歷得太少了，但是我要呼求神，仰望祂在我裡面作成祂的工作。即使在日常的工作中，我也要把我的心當作神兒子的居所，並且說：「我已經與基督同釘十字架，現在活著的不再是我，乃是基督在我裡面活著。」（加二20）惟有這樣，基督所說「住在我裡面」「我也住在你們裡面」的話，纔能成為我們每日的經歷。

一月卅日 順服的進退兩難 「撒母耳……不敢將默示告訴以利。」撒母耳記上三章15節 神少用驚愕的方式向我們說話，卻用容易引起誤會的方式，叫我們捉摸不定──「那是神的聲音麼？」以賽亞說，耶和華「嚴厲地」向他說，那就是用環境的壓迫來向他說。凡與我們所接觸的事，沒有一樣不是神所說的話，我們是在這環境中察覺祂的作為呢？還是察覺那些事變呢？ 能養成說「主啊，請說」的習慣，人生將要成為一種活潑自由。每當環境壓迫，說：「主啊，請說」；便當安排一段時間來靜聽神的聲音。譴責不僅是一種訓練，而且是使我達到說「主啊，請說」這句話的地步。你回憶神對你說話的時候，記不起祂對你所說的麼？是不是路加福音十一章13節或帖撒羅尼迦前書五章23節的話呢？我們越聽，我們的耳朵越敏銳，將如耶穌一樣能隨時聽見神的聲音。 我將神啟示我的，告訴我的以利麼？那便臨到服從的進退兩難。我不把神啟示我的，告訴我的以利嗎？他是我所敬重的人；告訴我的以利嗎？便是先去探詢人的意見，而違反了神。神沒有吩咐撒母耳去告訴以利；這是神要他自己所決定的。神向你的呼召也許有傷於你的以利；但是如果你想維護別人生命的痛苦，你的靈和神的靈會發生阻隔。你不砍去右手或剜出眼睛，這是你自己的危險。 神要你自己所決定的事，不要請求別人的指示。如果你請求別人的指示，差不多是走近了撒但。「我就不與屬血氣商量了」。

一月三十日 「打倒了，卻不至死亡。」哥林多後書四章9節 神如何使紅海分開的奇蹟發生？乃是藉著使祂的子民走頭無路，只有依靠神的拯救。埃及人在他們後面，紅海在他們前面，高山在他們兩邊，他們除了從上而來的奇蹟，真是別無逃脫之法。 有人曾說撒但能用牆四面包圍我們，但牠無法把房頂蓋死，因為我們總是能從天上得到幫助。我們的難題其實是神給的挑戰，很多時候祂使困難變得很難，難得讓我們不是得勝，就是慘敗。 神如此行，乃為幫助我們培養最高的信心，使我們在急難中成為神最美好的兒女。 親愛的朋友，這是神的時刻。如果你勇敢面對一切，你必會得著祂，永遠不再陷入困境中，卻能四處逢源。正如雅各在毘努伊勒與神面對面一樣，你也不再叫雅各，而要被稱為以色列。讓我們把需要帶到祂座前，藉著祂的供給證實祂的信實。
