腓立比書4章4-9節
4:4 你們要因為跟主連結而常常喜樂。我再說,你們要喜樂!
4:5 你們也要向大家表現謙讓。主就要來了。
4:6 你們應該一無掛慮;要在禱告中把你們所需要的告訴上帝,用感謝的心祈求。
4:7 上帝所賜那超越人所能理解的平安,會藉著基督耶穌,保守你們的心懷意念。
4:8 末了,弟兄姊妹們,你們要常常留意那些美善和值得讚揚的事。一切真實、高尚、公正、純潔、可愛,和光榮的事都應該重視。
4:9 你們從我所學習,領受,或聽到,看到的言行,都要實行出來。那賜平安的上帝就會與你們同在。
Philippians 4:4-9 NIV
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me--put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
***********************************************
這段聖經是大家很常引用的。其中提到『你們要因為跟主連結而常常喜樂。我再說,你們要喜樂!』、『你們應該一無掛慮;要在禱告中把你們所需要的告訴上帝,用感謝的心祈求。上帝所賜那超越人所能理解的平安,會藉著基督耶穌,保守你們的心懷意念。』、『弟兄姊妹們,你們要常常留意那些美善和值得讚揚的事。一切真實、高尚、公正、純潔、可愛,和光榮的事都應該重視。』
其中也有令人容意忽略的事,保羅也提醒我們:『你們也要向大家表現謙讓。主就要來了。』、『你們從我所學習,領受,或聽到,看到的言行,都要實行出來。那賜平安的上帝就會與你們同在。』
所以,我們要好好思想,過一個充滿喜樂之真實的基督徒生活,好榮耀主的名,因為主真的給我們許多恩典!
