 QT:以福音為念的同工(約翰三書01:01—01:15)


[生命泉源]

01:01 — 作長老的寫信給親愛的該猶,就是我誠心所愛的。
The elder, To my dear friend Gaius, whom I love in the truth.
01:02 — 親愛的兄弟啊,願你凡事興盛,身體健壯,正如你的靈魂興盛一樣。
Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.
01:03 — 有弟兄來證明你心裏存的真理,正如你按真理而行,我就甚喜樂。
It gave me great joy to have some brothers come and tell about your faithfulness to the truth and how you continue to walk in the truth.
01:04 — 我聽見我的兒女們按真理而行,我的喜樂就沒有比這個大的。
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
01:05 — 親愛的兄弟啊,凡你向作客旅之弟兄所行的都是忠心的。
Dear friend, you are faithful in what you are doing for the brothers, even though they are strangers to you.
01:06 — 他們在教會面前證明了你的愛;你若配得過神,幫助他們往前行,這就好了。
They have told the church about your love. You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God.
01:07 — 因他們是為主的名(原文是那名)出外,對於外邦人一無所取。
It was for the sake of the Name that they went out, receiving no help from the pagans.
01:08 — 所以我們應該接待這樣的人,叫我們與他們一同為真理做工。
We ought therefore to show hospitality to such men so that we may work together for the truth.
01:09 — 我曾略略的寫信給教會,但那在教會中好為首的丟特腓不接待我們。
I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will have nothing to do with us.

So if I come, I will call attention to what he is doing, gossiping maliciously about us. Not satisfied with that, he refuses to welcome the brothers. He also stops those who want to do so and puts them out of the church.
01:11 — 親愛的兄弟啊,不要效法惡,只要效法善。行善的屬乎神;行惡的未曾見過神。
Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God.
01:12 — 低米丟行善,有眾人給他作見證,又有真理給他作見證;就是我們也給他作見證。你也知道我們的見證是真的。
Demetrius is well spoken of by everyone--and even by the truth itself. We also speak well of him, and you know that our testimony is true.

I hope to see you soon, and we will talk face to face. Peace to you. The friends here send their greetings. Greet the friends there by name.

 QT:以真理為基礎的平衡之愛(約翰二書01:01—01:13)


[生命泉源]

01:01 — 作長老的寫信給蒙揀選的太太(或作:教會;下同),和他的兒女,就是我誠心所愛的;不但我愛,也是一切知道真理之人所愛的。
The elder, To the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in the truth--and not I only, but also all who know the truth--
01:02 — 愛你們是為真理的緣故,這真理存在我們裏面,也必永遠與我們同在。
because of the truth, which lives in us and will be with us forever:
01:03 — 恩惠,憐憫,平安從父神和他兒子耶穌基督在真理和愛心上必常與我們同在!
Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Father's Son, will be with us in truth and love.
01:04 — 我見你的兒女,有照我們從父所受之命令遵行真理的,就甚歡喜。
It has given me great joy to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as the Father commanded us.
01:05 — 太太啊,我現在勸你,我們大家要彼此相愛。這並不是我寫一條新命令給你,乃是我們從起初所受的命令。
And now, dear lady, I am not writing you a new command but one we have had from the beginning. I ask that we love one another.
01:06 — 我們若照他的命令行,這就是愛。你們從起初所聽見當行的,就是這命令。
And this is love:that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love.
01:07 — 因為世上有許多迷惑人的出來,他們不認耶穌基督是成了肉身來的;這就是那迷惑人、敵基督的。
Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.
01:08 — 你們要小心,不要失去你們(有古卷:我們)所做的工,乃要得著滿足的賞賜。
Watch out that you do not lose what you have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully.
01:09 — 凡越過基督的教訓、不常守著的,就沒有神;常守這教訓的,就有父又有子。
Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.
01:10 — 若有人到你們那裏,不是傳這教訓,不要接他到家裏,也不要問他的安;
If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take him into your house or welcome him.
01:11 — 因為問他安的,就在他的惡行上有分。
Anyone who welcomes him shares in his wicked work.
01:12 — 我還有許多事要寫給你們,卻不願意用紙墨寫出來,但盼望到你那裏,與你們當面談論,使你們的喜樂滿足。
I have much to write to you, but I do not want to use paper and ink. Instead, I hope to visit you and talk with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.
01:13 — 你那蒙揀選之姊妹的兒女都問你安。
The children of your chosen sister send their greetings.
省 思 語— 愛與真理並非互相對立,而是彼此補全。若只重視愛,就會放縱;只強調真理,就會過度嚴厲。以愛為基礎的真理,加上以真理為基石的愛,才能顯出神完全的屬性。

If anyone sees his brothercommit a sin that does not lead to death, heshould pray and God will give him life. I refer tothose whose sin does not lead to death. There is asin that leads to death. I am not saying that heshould pray about that.
05:17 — 凡不義的事都是罪,也有不至於死的罪。
All wrongdoing is sin, and there is sin that does not lead to death.
05:18 — 我們知道凡從神生的,必不犯罪,從神生的,必保守自己(有古卷:那從神生的必保護他),那惡者也就無法害他。
We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the one who was born of God keeps him safe, and the evil one cannot harm him.

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.

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。

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.

04:03 — 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。

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.

He sent them to Bethlehem and said, "Go and make a careful search for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him."
02:09 — 他們聽見王的話就去了。在東方所看見的那星忽然在他們前頭行,直行到小孩子的地方,就在上頭停住了。
After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen in the east went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was.
02:10 — 他們看見那星,就大大地歡喜;
When they saw the star, they were overjoyed.
02:11 — 進了房子,看見小孩子和他母親馬利亞,就俯伏拜那小孩子,揭開寶盒,拿黃金、乳香、沒藥為禮物獻給他。
On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh.
02:12 — 博士因為在夢中被主指示不要回去見希律,就從別的路回本地去了。
And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route.
省 思 語— 知道聖經真理與相信並歡迎耶穌有何不同?遇到領受恩典的機會時,若失去貧乏的心靈,會有什麼後果?
省 思 語— 我是否像東方博士一樣,擁有一定要見到星星主人的熱切渴望?

【2012 ∕ 12 ∕ 24】
 QT:耶穌,與我們同在的神(馬太福音01:18—01:25)


[生命泉源]

01:18 — 耶穌基督降生的事記在下面:他母親馬利亞巳經許配了約瑟,還沒有迎娶,馬利亞就從聖靈懷了孕。
This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about:His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.
01:19 — 他丈夫約瑟是個義人,不願意明明地羞辱他,想要暗暗地把他休了。
Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.
01:20 — 正思念這事的時候,有主的使者向他夢中顯現,說:「大衛的子孫約瑟,不要怕!只管娶過你的妻子馬利亞來,因他所懷的孕是從聖靈來的。
But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
01:21 — 他將要生一個兒子,你要給他起名叫耶穌,因他要將自己的百姓從罪惡裏救出來。」
She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."
01:22 — 這一切的事成就是要應驗主藉先知所說的話,
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
01:23 — 說:「必有童女懷孕生子;人要稱他的名為以馬內利。」(以馬內利翻出來就是「神與我們同在」。)
"The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel"--which means, "God with us."
01:24 — 約瑟醒了,起來,就遵著主使者的吩咐把妻子娶過來;
When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife.
01:25 — 只是沒有和他同房,等他生了兒子(有古卷:等他生了頭胎的兒子),就給他起名叫耶穌。
But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.
省 思 語— 如果我是約色,聽到馬利亞懷孕會如何反應?耶穌和以馬內利這兩個名字對我的人生有什麼意義?

 QT:一嬰孩的誕生,救恩的開始(以賽亞書09:01—09:07)


[生命泉源]

09:01 — 但那受過痛苦的必不再見幽暗。從前神使西布倫地和拿弗他利地被藐視,末後卻使這沿海的路,約但河外,外邦人的加利利地得著榮耀。
Nevertheless, there willbe no more gloom for those who were in distress.In the past he humbled the land of Zebulun and theland of Naphtali, but in the future he will honorGalilee of the Gentiles, by the way of the sea,along the Jordan--
09:02 — 在黑暗中行走的百姓看見了大光;住在死蔭之地的人有光照耀他們。
The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.
09:03 — 你使這國民繁多,加增他們的喜樂;他們在你面前歡喜,好像收割的歡喜,像人分擄物那樣的快樂。
You have enlarged the nation and increased their joy; they rejoice before you as people rejoice at the harvest, as men rejoice when dividing the plunder.
09:04 — 因為他們所負的重軛和肩頭上的杖,並欺壓他們人的棍,你都已經折斷,好像在米甸的日子一樣。
For as in the day of Midian's defeat, you have shattered the yoke that burdens them, the bar across their shoulders, the rod of their oppressor.
09:05 — 戰士在亂殺之間所穿戴的盔甲,並那滾在血中的衣服,都必作為可燒的,當作火柴。
Every warrior's boot used in battle and every garment rolled in blood will be destined for burning, will be fuel for the fire.
09:06 — 因有一嬰孩為我們而生;有一子賜給我們。政權必擔在他的肩頭上;他名稱為「奇妙策士、全能的神、永在的父、和平的君」。
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
09:07 — 他的政權與平安必加增無窮。他必在大衛的寶座上治理他的國,以公平公義使國堅定穩固,從今直到永遠。萬軍之耶和華的熱心必成就這事。
Of the increase of hisgovernment and peace there will be no end. He willreign on David's throne and over his kingdom,establishing and upholding it with justice andrighteousness from that time on and forever. Thezeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this.
省 思 語— 一個嬰孩誕生在這世上,帶來什麼改變?
