3:17 我又祈求基督,藉著你們的信心,住在你們心裏,使你們在他的愛中有根有基,
3:18 好使你們能夠跟所有上帝的子民一同體會基督的愛是多麼的長闊高深。
3:19 願你們能理解基督那超越知識所能領悟的愛,好使你們能完全被上帝的完美所充滿。
3:20 上帝能以運行在我們當中的大能成就一切,遠超過我們所求所想的。
3:21 願他在教會中,並在基督耶穌裏得到頌讚,世世代代,直到永遠!阿們。
so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge–that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
**********************************
基督徒之所以是有福的人,是因為『基督那超越知識所能領悟的愛』,『上帝能以運行在我們當中的大能成就一切,遠超過我們所求所想的。』
而人能享受上帝所賜的福,是要靠著「信心」。保羅在此說:『我又祈求基督,藉著你們的信心,住在你們心裏,使你們在他的愛中有根有基,好使你們能夠跟所有上帝的子民一同體會基督的愛是多麼的長闊高深。』
所以,「信心」是一把鑰匙,使我們進入上帝的大恩之中。
