1:1 神的僕人,耶穌基督的使徒保羅,憑著 神選民的信心與敬虔真理的知識, Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ for the faith of God's elect and the knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness--
1:2 盼望那無謊言的 神在萬古之先所應許的永生, a faith and knowledge resting on the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time, 1:3 到了日期,藉著傳揚的功夫把他的道顯明了;這傳揚的責任是按著 神我們救主的命令交託了我。 and at his appointed season he brought his word to light through the preaching entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior, 1:4 現在寫信給提多,就是照著我們共信之道作我真兒子的。願恩惠、平安從父 神和我們的救主基督耶穌歸與你! To Titus, my true son in our common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior. 1:5 我從前留你在克里特,是要你將那沒有辦完的事都辦整齊了,又照我所吩咐你的,在各城設立長老。 The reason I left you in Crete was that you might straighten out what was left unfinished and appoint(\f1 1:5 Or|i ordain|d) elders in every town, as I directed you. 1:6 若有無可指責的人,只作一個婦人的丈夫,兒女也是信主的,沒有人告他們是放蕩不服約束的,就可以設立。 An elder must be blameless, the husband of but one wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient. 1:7 監督既是 神的管家,必須無可指責,不任性,不暴躁,不因酒滋事,不打人,不貪無義之財; Since an overseer(\f2 1:7 Traditionally|i bishop|d) is entrusted with God's work, he must be blameless--not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain. 1:8 樂意接待遠人,好善,莊重,公平,聖潔自持; Rather he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined. 1:9 堅守所教真實的道理,就能將純正的教訓勸化人,又能把爭辯的人駁倒了。 He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it. 1:10 因為有許多人不服約束,說虛空話欺哄人;那奉割禮的更是這樣。 0 For there are many rebellious people, mere talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision group. 1:11 這些人的口總要堵住。他們因貪不義之財,將不該教導的教導人,敗壞人的全家。 They must be silenced, because they are ruining whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach--and that for the sake of dishonest gain. 1:12 有克里特人中的一個本地先知說:「克里特人常說謊話,乃是惡獸,又饞又懶。」 Even one of their own prophets has said, <<Cretans are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons.>> 1:13 這個見證是真的。所以,你要嚴嚴地責備他們,使他們在真道上純全無疵, This testimony is true. Therefore, rebuke them sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith 1:14 不聽猶太人荒渺的言語和離棄真道之人的誡命。 and will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the commands of those who reject the truth. 1:15 在潔淨的人,凡物都潔淨;在污穢不信的人,甚麼都不潔淨,連心地和天良也都污穢了。 To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted. 1:16 他們說是認識 神,行事卻和他相背;本是可憎惡的,是悖逆的,在各樣善事上是可廢棄的。 They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good. 本模組中文化由長島基督福音教會的Jack起始。多次經本人修改,2025年11月由AI協助更改加入朗讀功能,2026年加入搜尋「中、英」字皆可,顯示「黃底紅字」歡迎大家使用!! 荒漠甘泉五合一■ 中文荒漠甘泉(08月22日)
八月廿二日 「其餘的人,可以用板子,或船上的零碎東西上岸。這樣,眾人都得了救上了岸。」使徒行傳廿七章44節 保羅上羅馬去的那奇異的經歷—─所受的試煉和所得的榮耀─—真是信徒走信心道路的一個好模型。其中最寶貴的教訓乃是:在我們所到的一切困難狹窄的地方,都有神特殊的辦法和預備的。 按照人們普通的眼光看來,信心的道路,一定是滿撒著鮮花的;甚麼時候神要拯救祂的子民脫離危險,神就會立刻將他們從困難中提出來。事實卻正相反。聖經上的故事告訴我們:每一個見證人——從亞伯起,一直到最近殉道者——都是先受試煉,後得榮耀的。 保羅的經歷告訴我們:一個神的孩子,無論受多少苦,仍能不在靈裏受壓。保羅因為在大馬色宣傳耶穌的緣故,猶太人商議要殺他,我們看見那時候天上並沒有在火焰雷電中降下戰車戰馬來把這位大使徒從仇敵的勢力範圍中護送出去,他是 「用筐子……從城牆上縋下去。」(九25)的。你看,被裝在一隻舊的衣筐裏面!像一包送出去洗濯的衣服一般!耶穌基督的僕人竟這樣坍臺地從窗戶口縋下去! 後來我們又看見他被下在監裏;我們看見他怎樣被親友遺棄,怎樣受殘酷可恥的鞭打;就是在神允許拯救他以後,我們還看見他被留在波濤洶湧的海中顛簸;最後,拯救來了,可是天上並沒有大船飛下來把這位尊貴的囚犯接出去;也沒有天使在水面上平靜猖獗的怒濤;船上的人,必須有的抓住桅桿,有的抓住木板,有的攀住破船的碎片,有的跳下水去游泳,纔能得救上岸。這就是神對待我們的方法。 這是神給我們安排的生活方式,對於那些生活在實際環境中的人們,這是個有助的福音,神的應許與神的旨意,並不立刻將我們從試煉中提出來,但是因這些試煉完成了我們的信心,於是神纔喜歡用祂那愛的金線,交織在我們日常經驗的經緯之中,使之獲得美麗與光榮。 ─譯自信心之路的困境

August 22 "And the rest, some on boards, some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass that they escaped all safe to land." (Acts 27:44.) THE marvelous story of Paul's voyage to Rome, with its trials and triumphs, is a fine pattern of the lights and shades of the way of faith all through the story of human life. The remarkable feature of it is the hard and narrow places which we find intermingled with God's most extraordinary interpositioons and providences. It is the common idea that the pathway of faith is strewm with flowers, and that when God interposes in the life of His people, He does it on a scale so grand that He lifts us quite out of the plane of difficulties. The actual fact, however, is that the real experience is quite contrary. The story of the Bible is one of alternate trial triumph in the case of everyone of the cloud of witnesses from Abel down to the latest martyr. Paul, more than anyone else, was an example of how much a child of God can suffer without being crushed or broken in spirit. On account of his testifying in Damascus, he was hunted dowm by persecutors and obliged to fly for his life, but we behold no heavenly chariot transporting the holy aposte amid thunderbolts of flame from the reach of his foes, but "through a window in a basket," was he let down over the walls of Damascus and so escaped their hands. In an old clothes basket, like a bundle of laundry, or groceries, the servant of Jesus Christ was dropped from the window and ignominiously fled from the hate of his foes. Again we find him left for months in the lonely dungeons; we find him telling of his watchings, his fastings, and his desertion by friends, of his brutal and shameful beatings, and here even after God has promised to deliver him, we see him for days left to toss upon a stormy sea, obliged to stand guard over the treacherous seaman, and at last when the deliverance comes, there is no heavenly galley sailing from the skies to take off the noble prisoner; there is no angel form walking along the waters and stilling the raging breakers; there is no supernatural sign of the transcendent miracle that is being wrought; but one is compelled to seize a spar, another a floating plank, another to climb on a fragment of the wreck, another to strike out and swim for his life. Here is God's pattern for our own lives. Here is a Gospel of help for people that have to live in this every day world with real and ordinary surroundings, and a thousand practical conditions which have to be met in a thoroughly practical way. God's promises and God's providences do not lift us out of the plane of common sense and commonplace trial, but it is through these very things that faith is perfected, and that God loves to interweave the golden threads of His love along the warp and woof of our every day experience. ─Hard Places in the Way of Faith.

八月廿二日 在諸事上有節制 「凡較力爭勝的,諸事都有節制。」「我是攻克己身,叫身服我。」哥林多前書九章25、27節 保羅在此提醒我們知道一個原則:如要在公眾比賽的場合得勝,必須要在「諸事上都有節制」。每件事,即使有多大的誘惑力,只要有妨害,就得放棄或擱置,這樣才可贏得世界上的獎品,何況擁有一切的基督要賜給我們不朽壞的冠冕——,為此,我們豈不更要全心盡力跟隨主耶穌。 保羅說:「我是攻克己身,叫身服我。」他不准許任何事來妨害自己,他告訴我們:「我只有一件事:向著標竿直跑,要得獎賞。」不以滿足自己的食慾來吃喝,不求安逸的生活,乃在日常生活中表現出背十字架的記號,像主一樣凡事犧牲。我們從下列經文可看出他一生所有的:(林前五11-13),和(林後四8-12,六4-10,十一23-27)。十字架不僅是他宣道的主題,也是他生命的特質。 我們必須向神祈求,使這種性情能在基督徒身上找著,使我們藉著聖靈的大能而能傳揚福音。當基督死的大能在傳道人身上運行時,基督的生命才能為會眾所察覺。讓我們祈求能在老舊的地方與十字架交通,使神的兒女都能順服:「但願你們能以基督的心為心。」祂自己卑微,存心順服以至於死在十字架上,而「我們若在祂死的形式上與祂聯合,也要在祂復活的形狀上與祂聯合。」(羅六5)

八月廿二日 「我是……但祂」 「我是用水給你們施洗……但那……祂要用聖靈與火給你們施洗。」馬太福音三章11節 我的經驗到了能說這樣話──「我是……但祂」──的地步麼?不到那時,絕不知道聖靈的洗是甚麼意思。「我是」就完結了,我不能做甚麼;「但祂」,從這裡開始──祂能做人所不能的事。我歡迎基督來麼?只要有甚麼攔阻著,無論是善是惡,祂就不來。當祂來的時候,我準備將我所做的件件錯事暴露出來麼?祂只肯在那種情況之下來。我在甚麼地方知道我的不潔,祂就從那個地方來;反過來說,我在甚麼地方想到我是潔淨的,祂從甚麼地方退出去。 悔改不是帶進罪的感覺,而是使人感覺自己的不配和無用。當我悔改的時候,我確覺我自己絕對的無用,就是提鞋之微也是不配的。我曾像那樣悔改過麼?或有一點覺到自己的力量夠了呢?神不能進入我生命的緣故,是因為我沒有完全悔改。 「祂要用聖靈與火給你們施洗」。約翰未說聖靈的洗是一種經驗。卻說是耶穌基督所完成的一種工作,「祂要給你們施洗」。凡受聖靈洗禮的人,所僅有而清白的經驗,是絕對不配,絕對無用的感覺。 「我是」這也是那不要緊的;「但祂」來,則奇妙的事件必然發生。不要依靠自己,應該走到事事依靠祂的地步。

八月廿二日 「誰行作成就這事,從起初宣召歷代呢?就是我——耶和華!我是首先的,也與末後的同在。」以賽亞書四十一章4節 有成千上萬的基督徒,在他們開始聖潔之旅以後,因為單靠經驗而不靠使其成聖的主,竟然不到一半就完全停頓下來。由於這些人認為他們已經徹底、永遠地從罪中得到釋放,故沈迷於起初的經驗,想像他們永遠不會像過去那樣受試探,或是受引誘。 無怪乎當這些人在走進真正的基督徒生活中時,會失敗和跌倒。由於他們很驚訝、困惑,所以他們遽下結論,認為他們的經驗一定有什麼錯誤。通常,這些人會繼續嘗試,但會再次跌倒,直到最後被自己的經驗弄得精疲力竭,甚至斷言成為聖潔的經驗是一個妄想,或者不適合他們。這些人難免又會回到老我的生活方式中,而他們最後的光景比起初更加地悲慘。 今天,我們每個人都需要明白,成聖並非是一種境界,乃是擁有基督——復活的主在我們的裡面。 主耶穌,懇求您賜給我們您的心腸、您的信心、您的生命,以及您自己。
