1:1 奉 神旨意,作基督耶穌使徒的保羅,寫信給在以弗所的聖徒,就是在基督耶穌裏有忠心的人。 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints in Ephesus, (\f1 1:1 Some early manuscripts do not have|i in Ephesus|d.)the faithful(\f2 1:1 Or|i believers who are|d )in Christ Jesus:
1:2 願恩惠、平安從 神我們的父和主耶穌基督歸與你們! Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 1:3 願頌讚歸與我們主耶穌基督的父 神!他在基督裏曾賜給我們天上各樣屬靈的福氣: Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 1:4 就如 神從創立世界以前,在基督裏揀選了我們,使我們在他面前成為聖潔,無有瑕疵; For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 1:5 又因愛我們,就按著自己意旨所喜悅的,預定我們藉著耶穌基督得兒子的名分, he(\f3 1:5 Or|i sight in love. \V 5 |iHe|d) predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will-- 1:6 使他榮耀的恩典得著稱讚;這恩典是他在愛子裏所賜給我們的。 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. 1:7 我們藉這愛子的血得蒙救贖,過犯得以赦免,乃是照他豐富的恩典。 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace 1:8 這恩典是 神用諸般智慧聰明,充充足足賞給我們的; that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding. 1:9 都是照他自己所預定的美意,叫我們知道他旨意的奧祕, And he(\f4 1:9 Or|i us. With all wisdom and understanding, \V 9 |ihe|d) made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, 1:10 要照所安排的,在日期滿足的時候,使天上、地上、一切所有的都在基督裏面同歸於一。 0 to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment--to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ. 1:11 我們也在他裏面得〔得:或譚成〕了基業;這原是那位隨己意行、做萬事的,照著他旨意所預定的, In him we were also chosen, (\f5 1:11 Or|i were made heirs|d) having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, 1:12 叫他的榮耀從我們這首先在基督裏有盼望的人可以得著稱讚。 in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. 1:13 你們既聽見真理的道,就是那叫你們得救的福音,也信了基督,既然信他,就受了所應許的聖靈為印記。 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 1:14 這聖靈是我們得基業的憑據〔原文是質〕,直等到 神之民〔民:原文是產業〕被贖,使他的榮耀得著稱讚。 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession--to the praise of his glory. 1:15 因此,我既聽見你們信從主耶穌,親愛眾聖徒, For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, 1:16 就為你們不住地感謝 神。禱告的時候,常提到你們, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. 1:17 求我們主耶穌基督的 神,榮耀的父,將那賜人智慧和啟示的靈賞給你們,使你們真知道他, I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit(\f6 1:17 Or|i a spirit|d) of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. 1:18 並且照明你們心中的眼睛,使你們知道他的恩召有何等指望,他在聖徒中得的基業有何等豐盛的榮耀; I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, 1:19 並知道他向我們這信的人所顯的能力是何等浩大, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, 1:20 就是照他在基督身上所運行的大能大力,使他從死裏復活,叫他在天上坐在自己的右邊, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, 1:21 遠超過一切執政的、掌權的、有能的、主治的,和一切有名的;不但是今世的,連來世的也都超過了。 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. 1:22 又將萬有服在他的腳下,使他為教會作萬有之首。 And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, 1:23 教會是他的身體,是那充滿萬有者所充滿的。 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.

線上使用者荒漠甘泉五合一「用繩索把祭牲拴住,牽到壇角那裏。」詩篇一一八篇27節 讀者啊,祭壇不是在呼召我們嗎?我們不是要請求繩索把我們拴在祭壇上,使我們永遠不把我們的奉獻拿回來嗎?我們常常在生活充滿了玫瑰色光彩的時候,樂意選擇十字架;在天色灰暗的時候,就退縮了。所以如果能用繩索把我們拴住的話,多麼好呢! 主啊,求你把我們拴住,拴在十字架上,讓我們永遠不會離開它。求你用救恩的紅繩、愛的金繩、望的銀繩,把我們拴住,叫我們不能逃回舊日的寬路去,也叫我們不去羨慕別的命運─只羨慕作主痛苦悲傷中卑賤的伴侶! 讀者啊,壇角在呼召你了。你願不願意來呢?你願不願意永遠居在順從謙卑的靈中,把你自己完全奉獻給主呢? ─選 在一次野外聚會裏,有一位弟兄,願意把自己奉獻給神。他每天晚上在祭壇旁邊奉獻自己;但是每天晚上在他離開聚會以前,魔鬼就來使他相信:他並沒有感覺甚麼分別,一定是神沒有接受他的奉獻。 一次一次他這樣被仇敵擊退,最後一天晚上,他來赴會的時候,帶了一把斧頭和一根長大的木樁來。他把自己奉獻了以後,就將木樁釘入他所跪的那塊地上。當他走出會場的時候,魔鬼又來引誘他相信這一切都不過是一幕戲劇而已。 他立刻回到木樁那裏,指著木樁說:「你看,魔鬼先生,你看見那根木樁嗎?那就是我的證人—─證明神已經永遠接受了我。」魔鬼立即離開了他,這位弟兄對於這個問題,以後再沒有甚麼疑惑了。 ─微小的聲音 親愛的,如果你也受了引誘疑惑你的奉獻的話,你也可以在一個地方釘下一根木樁,讓它在神前、魔鬼前,做一個證人說,你已經永遠解決了這個問題。 你是否在尋求幸福, 而無處可遇? 只要聽取主的吩咐, 就會找到門路。 你是否在爭取得救, 而焦急祈求, 不必爭取, 只要信靠, 就會被神收留。 你的祈求懇切熱心, 卻遲遲不見回音, 把你的祈求變為讚美, 答應就會到臨。 你無從領會神的美滿, 除非你能放擔息肩, 把你的一切交託給神, 纔可領會完全。 ─心靈之歌
