1:1 奉 神旨意作基督耶穌使徒的保羅和兄弟提摩太,寫信給在哥林多 神的教會,並亞該亞遍處的眾聖徒。 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,To the church of God in Corinth, together with all the saints throughout Achaia:
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 願頌讚歸與我們的主耶穌基督的父 神,就是發慈悲的父,賜各樣安慰的 神。 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 1:4 我們在一切患難中,他就安慰我們,叫我們能用 神所賜的安慰去安慰那遭各樣患難的人。 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. 1:5 我們既多受基督的苦楚,就靠基督多得安慰。 For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows. 1:6 我們受患難呢,是為叫你們得安慰,得拯救;我們得安慰呢,也是為叫你們得安慰;這安慰能叫你們忍受我們所受的那樣苦楚。 If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. 1:7 我們為你們所存的盼望是確定的,因為知道你們既是同受苦楚,也必同得安慰。 And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort. 1:8 弟兄們,我們不要你們不曉得,我們從前在亞細亞遭遇苦難,被壓太重,力不能勝,甚至連活命的指望都絕了; We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about the hardships we suffered in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life. 1:9 自己心裏也斷定是必死的,叫我們不靠自己,只靠叫死人復活的 神。 Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. 1:10 他曾救我們脫離那極大的死亡,現在仍要救我們,並且我們指望他將來還要救我們。 0 He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us, 1:11 你們以祈禱幫助我們,好叫許多人為我們謝恩,就是為我們因許多人所得的恩。 as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our(\f1 1:11 Many manuscripts|i your|d) behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many. 1:12 我們所誇的是自己的良心,見證我們憑著 神的聖潔和誠實;在世為人不靠人的聰明,乃靠 神的恩惠,向你們更是這樣。 Now this is our boast: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially in our relations with you, in the holiness and sincerity that are from God. We have done so not according to worldly wisdom but according to God's grace. 1:13 我們現在寫給你們的話,並不外乎你們所念的,所認識的,我也盼望你們到底還是要認識; For we do not write you anything you cannot read or understand. And I hope that, 1:14 正如你們已經有幾分認識我們,以我們誇口,好像我們在我們主耶穌的日子以你們誇口一樣。 as you have understood us in part, you will come to understand fully that you can boast of us just as we will boast of you in the day of the Lord Jesus. 1:15 我既然這樣深信,就早有意到你們那裏去,叫你們再得益處; Because I was confident of this, I planned to visit you first so that you might benefit twice. 1:16 也要從你們那裏經過,往馬其頓去,再從馬其頓回到你們那裏,叫你們給我送行往猶太去。 I planned to visit you on my way to Macedonia and to come back to you from Macedonia, and then to have you send me on my way to Judea. 1:17 我有此意,豈是反覆不定嗎?我所起的意,豈是從情慾起的,叫我忽是忽非嗎? When I planned this, did I do it lightly? Or do I make my plans in a worldly manner so that in the same breath I say, <<Yes, yes>> and <<No, no>>? 1:18 我指著信實的 神說,我們向你們所傳的道,並沒有是而又非的。 But as surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not <<Yes>> and <<No.>> 1:19 因為我和西拉並提摩太,在你們中間所傳 神的兒子耶穌基督,總沒有是而又非的,在他只有一是。 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by me and Silas(\f2 1:19 Greek|i Silvanus|d, a variant of|i Silas|d0 and Timothy, was not <<Yes>> and <<No,>> but in him it has always been <<Yes.>> 1:20 神的應許,不論有多少,在基督都是是的。所以藉著他也都是實在〔實在:原文是阿們〕的,叫 神因我們得榮耀。 For no matter how many promises God has made, they are <<Yes>> in Christ. And so through him the <<Amen>> is spoken by us to the glory of God. 1:21 那在基督裏堅固我們和你們,並且膏我們的就是 神。 Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, 1:22 他又用印印了我們,並賜聖靈在我們心裏作憑據〔原文是質〕。 set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come. 1:23 我呼籲 神給我的心作見證,我沒有往哥林多去是為要寬容你們。 I call God as my witness that it was in order to spare you that I did not return to Corinth. 1:24 我們並不是轄管你們的信心,乃是幫助你們的快樂,因為你們憑信才站立得住。 Not that we lord it over your faith, but we work with you for your joy, because it is by faith you stand firm.

會員登入荒漠甘泉五合一八月廿九日 「耶穌背著自己的十字架出來。」約翰福音十九章17節 有一首詩名叫「換來的十字架」。裏面講到一疲乏的姊妹,以為她的十字架,一定比別人的更重,所以渴望和別人換一個背背。一天,她做了一個夢,夢中她到了一個地方,在那裏橫著許多十字架———各種形狀不同,大小不同的十字架。有一個小十字架形狀最美麗,上面鑲嵌著寶石和黃金。這個姊妹一看見就說,「啊,這一個背著一定舒適。」所以她就把它拿起來,不料她虛弱的身體,竟在這個十字架下面震顫了。寶石和黃金果然美麗,可是它們太重了,她背不動。 後來,她又看見一可愛的十字架,彫刻的木架上,盤著美麗的鮮花。她想:這一定容易背了。她就將它舉起來,不料鮮花下面,有許多尖銳的刺,刺痛了她的皮肉。 她一步一步向前走去,一個一個試著,發見每一個十字架,都不容易背。最後,她看見一個樸素的十字架,上面沒有寶石,也沒有彫刻,只書著幾句親愛的話。她拿起它來,覺得這是許多中間最容易背的一個。她向它仔細一看,在陽光下,她認得這原來是她自己的舊十字架。啊!這個舊十字架竟是許多十字架中間最好最輕的一個! 親愛的讀者,神知道我們需要背的是那一個十字架。我們不知道別人的十字架多麼重。我們常常艷羨有錢的人─—他們的十字架是黃金的,上面鑲嵌著寶石—─我們卻不知道這十字架是多麼重。還有一些人,她們的生活似乎很是可愛—─她們背著盤著鮮花的十字架—─我們卻不知道鮮花下面有許多尖銳的刺。如果我們能去試試別人的—─我們以為比我們自己的更輕的─—十字架看,我們就會發現:這些十字架中間,沒有一個像我們自己這個那樣叫我們滿意。 ─譯自信徒生活一瞥 假若你沒有耐心, 卸下你的十字架, 在此世上和末世你再也找不到它; 因為這十字架只給你在此時此地 為神的緣故而背負。 再則它使我們能更加至誠至愛祂, 侍奉祂, 帶著喜悅之情, 一步一步親近祂。 此後我們不再被喚去背負十字架, 這是我們此刻的任務。 你難道不能多忍受一刻嗎? 假若今天祂就從你的十字架上召喚你說: 「事情完了, 你可以卸下你祈求解脫沈重的十字架」。 你豈不要懊悔說: 「這麼快, 讓我回頭再背一陣, 因我尚未讚美祂」。 無論何時, 當我們所盼望的召喚來到, 我們就會覺得這甚快, 願我們及時留意, 使我們現在就榮耀祂。 ─選
