羅馬書16:1-27

16:1 我對你們舉薦我們的姊妹非比;她是堅革哩教會中的女執事。
16:2
請你們為主接待她,合乎聖徒的體統。她在何事上要你們幫助,你們就幫助她;因她素來幫助許多人,也幫助了我。
16:3
問百基拉和亞居拉安。他們在基督耶穌裡與我同工,
16:4
也為我的命將自己的頸項置之度外。不但我感謝他們,就是外邦的眾教會也感謝他們。
16:5
又問在他們家中的教會安。問我所親愛的以拜尼土安;他在亞細亞是歸基督初結的果子。
16:6
又問馬利亞安;她為你們多受勞苦。
16:7
又問我親屬與我一同坐監的安多尼古和猶尼亞安;他們在使徒中是有名望的,也是比我先在基督裡。
16:8
又問我在主裡面所親愛的暗伯利安。
16:9
又問在基督裡與我們同工的耳巴奴,並我所親愛的士大古安。
16:10
又問在基督裡經過試驗的亞比利安。問亞利多布家裡的人安。
16:11
又問我親屬希羅天安。問拿其數家在主裡的人安。
16:12
又問為主勞苦的土非拿氏和土富撒氏安。問可親愛為主多受勞苦的彼息氏安。
16:13
又問在主蒙揀選的魯孚和他母親安;他的母親就是我的母親。
16:14
又問亞遜其土、弗勒干、黑米、八羅巴、黑馬,並與他們在一處的弟兄們安。
16:15
又問非羅羅古和猶利亞,尼利亞和他姊妹,同阿林巴並與他們在一處的眾聖徒安。
16:16
你們親嘴問安,彼此務要聖潔。基督的眾教會都問你們安。
16:17
弟兄們,那些離間你們、叫你們跌倒、背乎所學之道的人,我勸你們要留意躲避他們。
16:18
因為這樣的人不服事我們的主基督,只服事自己的肚腹,用花言巧語誘惑那些老實人的心。
16:19
你們的順服已經傳於眾人,所以我為你們歡喜;但我願意你們在善上聰明,在惡上愚拙。
16:20
賜平安的上帝快要將撒但踐踏在你們腳下。願我主耶穌基督的恩常和你們同在!
16:21
與我同工的提摩太,和我的親屬路求、耶孫、所西巴德,問你們安。
16:22
我這代筆寫信的德提,在主裡面問你們安。
16:23
那接待我、也接待全教會的該猶問你們安。
16:24
城內管銀庫的以拉都和兄弟括土問你們安。
16:25
惟有上帝能照我所傳的福音和所講的耶穌基督,並照永古隱藏不言的奧祕,堅固你們的心。
16:26
這奧祕如今顯明出來,而且按著永生上帝的命,藉眾先知的書指示萬國的民,使他們信服真道。
16:27
願榮耀,因耶穌基督,歸與獨一全智的上帝,直到永遠。阿們!

 

I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a deacon[a][b] of the church in Cenchreae. I ask you to receive her in the Lord in a way worthy of his people and to give her any help she may need from you, for she has been the benefactor of many people, including me.

Greet Priscilla[c] and Aquila, my co-workers in Christ Jesus. They risked their lives for me. Not only I but all the churches of the Gentiles are grateful to them.

Greet also the church that meets at their house.

Greet my dear friend Epenetus, who was the first convert to Christ in the province of Asia.

Greet Mary, who worked very hard for you.

Greet Andronicus and Junia, my fellow Jews who have been in prison with me. They are outstanding among[d] the apostles, and they were in Christ before I was.

Greet Ampliatus, my dear friend in the Lord.

Greet Urbanus, our co-worker in Christ, and my dear friend Stachys.

10 Greet Apelles, whose fidelity to Christ has stood the test.

Greet those who belong to the household of Aristobulus.

11 Greet Herodion, my fellow Jew.

Greet those in the household of Narcissus who are in the Lord.

12 Greet Tryphena and Tryphosa, those women who work hard in the Lord.

Greet my dear friend Persis, another woman who has worked very hard in the Lord.

13 Greet Rufus, chosen in the Lord, and his mother, who has been a mother to me, too.

14 Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas and the other brothers and sisters with them.

15 Greet Philologus, Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas and all the Lord’s people who are with them.

16 Greet one another with a holy kiss.

All the churches of Christ send greetings.

17 I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. 18 For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people. 19 Everyone has heard about your obedience, so I rejoice because of you; but I want you to be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil.

20 The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.

The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.

21 Timothy, my co-worker, sends his greetings to you, as do Lucius, Jason and Sosipater, my fellow Jews.

22 I, Tertius, who wrote down this letter, greet you in the Lord.

23 Gaius, whose hospitality I and the whole church here enjoy, sends you his greetings.

Erastus, who is the city’s director of public works, and our brother Quartus send you their greetings. [24] [e]

25 Now to him who is able to establish you in accordance with my gospel, the message I proclaim about Jesus Christ, in keeping with the revelation of the mystery hidden for long ages past, 26 but now revealed and made known through the prophetic writings by the command of the eternal God, so that all the Gentiles might come to the obedience that comes from[f] faith— 27 to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen.

    這是問候和祝福的一章!

 

 

 

羅馬書14:19-23

 

14:19 所以,我們務要追求和睦的事與彼此建立德行的事。
14:20
不可因食物毀壞上帝的工程。凡物固然潔淨,但有人因食物叫人跌倒,就是他的罪了。
14:21
無論是吃肉是喝酒,是甚麼別的事,叫弟兄跌倒,一概不做才好。
14:22
你有信心,就當在上帝面前守著。人在自己以為可行的事上能不自責,就有福了。
14:23
若有疑心而吃的,就必有罪,因為他吃不是出於信心。凡不出於信心的都是罪。

 

19 Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification. 20 Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a person to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble. 21 It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother or sister to fall.

22 So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves. 23 But whoever has doubts is condemned if they eat, because their eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin.

 

******************

 

     保羅這段話是為了調和猶太信徒及外邦信徒,讓彼此學習包容,好靠上帝的恩典有和睦的生活,在基督裡合而為一!

 

 

羅馬書12:17-21

 

12:17 不要以惡報惡;眾人以為美的事要留心去做。
12:18
若是能行,總要盡力與眾人和睦。
12:19
親愛的弟兄,不要自己伸冤,寧可讓步,聽憑主怒(或譯:讓人發怒);因為經上記著:「主說:『伸冤在我,我必報應。』」
12:20
所以,「你的仇敵若餓了,就給他吃,若渴了,就給他喝;因為你這樣行就是把炭火堆在他的頭上。」
12:21
你不可為惡所勝,反要以善勝惡。

 

17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. 18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”[d] says the Lord. 20 On the contrary:

“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
    if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”[e]

21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

 

*************

 

    談完教義之後,當然就是要進入生活的實踐,所以12章的內容幾乎是生活性的教導。

 

    成為基督徒之後,待人接物也是很重要的課題,願主賜下智慧來保守我們有好的生活見證,正如保羅在此所說:「你不可為惡所勝,反要以善勝惡。」

 

    當然要實踐這樣的生活,要靠聖靈的引導,凡是認定主耶穌的名,相信必有美好的見證!

羅馬書11:33-36

 

11:33 深哉,上帝豐富的智慧和知識!他的判斷何其難測!他的蹤跡何其難尋!
11:34
誰知道主的心?誰作過他的謀士呢?
11:35
誰是先給了他,使他後來償還呢?
11:36
因為萬有都是本於他,倚靠他,歸於他。願榮耀歸給他,直到永遠。阿們!

 

33 Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and[i] knowledge of God!
    How unsearchable his judgments,
    and his paths beyond tracing out!
34 “Who has known the mind of the Lord?

    Or who has been his counselor?”[j]
35 “Who has ever given to God,
    that God should repay them?”[k]
36 For from him and through him and for him are all things.
    To him be the glory forever! Amen.

 

*************

 

    這是一段頌歌,適合我們常常來朗誦與讚美上帝,尤其是禮拜的宣召用這段是很好的!

 

羅馬書11:25-32

 

11:25 弟兄們,我不願意你們不知道這奧祕(恐怕你們自以為聰明),就是以色列人有幾分是硬心的,等到外邦人的數目添滿了,
11:26 於是以色列全家都要得救。如經上所記:必有一位救主從錫安出來,要消除雅各家的一切罪惡;
11:27 又說:我除去他們罪的時候,這就是我與他們所立的約。
11:28 就著福音說,他們為你們的緣故是仇敵;就著揀選說,他們為列祖的緣故是蒙愛的。
11:29 因為上帝的恩賜和選召是沒有後悔的。
11:30 你們從前不順服上帝,如今因他們的不順服,你們倒蒙了憐恤。
11:31 這樣,他們也是不順服,叫他們因著施給你們的憐恤,現在也就蒙憐恤。
11:32 因為上帝將眾人都圈在不順服之中,特意要憐恤眾人。

 

25 I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in, 26 and in this way[e] all Israel will be saved. As it is written:

“The deliverer will come from Zion;
    he will turn godlessness away from Jacob.
27 And this is[f] my covenant with them

    when I take away their sins.”[g]

28 As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies for your sake; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs, 29 for God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable. 30 Just as you who were at one time disobedient to God have now received mercy as a result of their disobedience, 31 so they too have now become disobedient in order that they too may now[h] receive mercy as a result of God’s mercy to you. 32 For God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all.

 

*************

 

    在前千禧年派有一個觀點和保羅這裡說到的吻合,就是終末時所有以色列人要歸信主耶穌,正如保羅這裡所論述:「以色列全家都要得救。」

 

    這也是提醒外邦信徒,不要忽略猶太人的信主,這是聖經殷切的教導!但是不是要基督徒猶太化,這就不是聖經的教導了,切記!
