 QT:勝過世界的信心與愛(約翰一書05:01—05:12)


[生命泉源]

05:01 — 凡信耶穌是基督的,都是從神而生,凡愛生他之神的,也必愛從神生的。
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well.
05:02 — 我們若愛神,又遵守他的誡命,從此就知道我們愛神的兒女。
This is how we know that we love the children of God:by loving God and carrying out his commands.
05:03 — 我們遵守神的誡命,這就是愛他了,並且他的誡命不是難守的。
This is love for God:to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome,
05:04 — 因為凡從神生的,就勝過世界;使我們勝了世界的,就是我們的信心。
for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.
05:05 — 勝過世界的是誰呢?不是那信耶穌是神兒子的麼?
Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
05:06 — 這藉著水和血而來的,就是耶穌基督;不是單用水,乃是用水又用血,
This is the one who came by water and blood--Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.
05:07 — 並且有聖靈作見證,因為聖靈就是真理。
For there are three that testify:
05:08 — 作見證的原來有三:就是聖靈、水,與血,這三樣也都歸於一。
the Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.
05:09 — 我們既領受人的見證,神的見證更該領受(該領受:原文是大)了,因神的見證是為他兒子作的。
We accept man's testimony, but God's testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God, which he has given about his Son.
05:10 — 信神兒子的,就有這見證在他心裏;不信神的,就是將神當作說謊的,因不信神為他兒子作的見證。
Anyone who believes in the Son of God has this testimony in his heart. Anyone who does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because he has not believed the testimony God has given about his Son.
05:11 — 這見證就是神賜給我們永生;這永生也是在他兒子裏面。
And this is the testimony:God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
05:12 — 人有了神的兒子就有生命,沒有神的兒子就沒有生命。
He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.
省 思 語— 惟有愛是勝過墮落世界的道路,沒有任何事物能讓神兒女與祂的愛隔絕。
省 思 語— 愛神與遵守神的誡命有何關係?

 QT:完全的愛除去懼怕(約翰一書04:11—04:21)


[生命泉源]

04:11 — 親愛的弟兄啊,神既是這樣愛我們,我們也當彼此相愛。
Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
04:12 — 從來沒有人見過神,我們若彼此相愛,神就住在我們裏面,愛他的心在我們裏面得以完全了。
No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
04:13 — 神將他的靈賜給我們,從此就知道我們是住在他裏面,他也住在我們裏面。
We know that we live in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.
04:14 — 父差子作世人的救主;這是我們所看見且作見證的。
And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.
04:15 — 凡認耶穌為神兒子的,神就住在他裏面,他也住在神裏面。
If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God.
04:16 — 神愛我們的心,我們也知道也信。神就是愛;住在愛裏面的,就是住在神裏面,神也住在他裏面。
And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.
04:17 — 這樣,愛在我們裏面得以完全,我們就可以在審判的日子坦然無懼。因為他如何,我們在這世上也如何。
In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him.
04:18 — 愛裏沒有懼怕;愛既完全,就把懼怕除去。因為懼怕裏含著刑罰,懼怕的人在愛裏未得完全。
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
04:19 — 我們愛,因為神先愛我們。
We love because he first loved us.
04:20 — 人若說「我愛神」,卻恨他的弟兄,就是說謊話的;不愛他所看見的弟兄,就不能愛沒有看見的神(有古卷:怎能愛沒有看見的神呢)。
If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.
04:21 — 愛神的,也當愛弟兄,這是我們從神所受的命令。
And he has given us this command:Whoever loves God must also love his brother.
省 思 語— 基督徒要丟棄自憐與不必要的貪心,為神而活。
省 思 語— 遵守愛的誡命,才是全然愛神。
省 思 語— 我是否過著愛神愛人而毫無後悔的人生?脫離日常困難與未來不安的的秘訣是什麼?

 QT:要分辨靈,並彼此相愛(約翰一書04:01—04:10)


[生命泉源]

04:01 — 親愛的弟兄啊,一切的靈,你們不可都信,總要試驗那些靈是出於神的不是,因為世上有許多假先知已經出來了。
Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
04:02 — 凡靈認耶穌基督是成了肉身來的,就是出於神的;從此你們可以認出神的靈來。
This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God:Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,
04:03 — 凡靈不認耶穌,就不是出於神;這是那敵基督者的靈。你們從前聽見他要來,現在已經在世上了。
but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.
04:04 — 小子們哪,你們是屬神的,並且勝了他們;因為那在你們裏面的,比那在世界上的更大。
You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
04:05 — 他們是屬世界的,所以論世界的事,世人也聽從他們。
They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them.
04:06 — 我們是屬神的,認識神的就聽從我們;不屬神的就不聽從我們。從此我們可以認出真理的靈和謬妄的靈來。
We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.
04:07 — 親愛的弟兄啊,我們應當彼此相愛,因為愛是從神來的。凡有愛心的,都是由神而生,並且認識神。
Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
04:08 — 沒有愛心的,就不認識神,因為神就是愛。
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
04:09 — 神差他獨生子到世間來,使我們藉著他得生,神愛我們的心在此就顯明了。
This is how God showed his love among us:He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.
04:10 — 不是我們愛神,乃是神愛我們,差他的兒子為我們的罪作了挽回祭,這就是愛了。
This is love:not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
省 思 語— 若靠人的理性與理論任意篩選神的話語,就會陶醉在自己的義中,陷入虛假與偽善。
省 思 語— 比起人的理性與理論,我更要緊緊抓住的絕對真理是什麼?
