1:1 作耶穌基督僕人和使徒的西門‧彼得寫信給那因我們的 神和〔有古卷沒有和字〕救主耶穌基督之義,與我們同得一樣寶貴信心的人。 Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours:
1:2 願恩惠、平安因你們認識 神和我們主耶穌多多的加給你們。 Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. 1:3 神的神能已將一切關乎生命和虔敬的事賜給我們,皆因我們認識那用自己榮耀和美德召我們的主。 His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 1:4 因此,他已將又寶貴又極大的應許賜給我們,叫我們既脫離世上從情慾來的敗壞,就得與 神的性情有分。 Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. 1:5 正因這緣故,你們要分外的殷勤;有了信心,又要加上德行;有了德行,又要加上知識; For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 1:6 有了知識,又要加上節制;有了節制,又要加上忍耐;有了忍耐,又要加上虔敬; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 1:7 有了虔敬,又要加上愛弟兄的心;有了愛弟兄的心,又要上加上愛眾人的心; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. 1:8 你們若充充足足地有這幾樣,就必使你們在認識我們的主耶穌基督上不至於閒懶不結果子了。 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1:9 人若沒有這幾樣,就是眼瞎,只看見近處的,忘了他舊日的罪已經得了潔淨。 But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins. 1:10 所以弟兄們,應當更加殷勤,使你們所蒙的恩召和揀選堅定不移。你們若行這幾樣,就永不失腳。 0 Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall, 1:11 這樣,必叫你們豐豐富富的得以進入我們主─救主耶穌基督永遠的國。 and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 1:12 你們雖然曉得這些事,並且在你們已有的真道上堅固,我卻要將這些事常常提醒你們。 So I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth you now have. 1:13 我以為應當趁我還在這帳棚的時候提醒你們,激發你們。 I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of this body, 1:14 因為知道我脫離這帳棚的時候快到了,正如我們主耶穌基督所指示我的。 because I know that I will soon put it aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me. 1:15 並且我要盡心竭力,使你們在我去世以後時常記念這些事。 And I will make every effort to see that after my departure you will always be able to remember these things. 1:16 我們從前將我們主耶穌基督的大能和他降臨的事告訴你們,並不是隨從乖巧捏造的虛言,乃是親眼見過他的威榮。 We did not follow cleverly invented stories when we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 1:17 他從父 神得尊貴榮耀的時候,從極大榮光之中有聲音出來,向他說:「這是我的愛子,我所喜悅的。」 For he received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, saying, <<This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.>>( \f1 1:17 Matt. 17:5; Mark 9:7; Luke 9:35) 1:18 我們同他在聖山的時候,親自聽見這聲音從天上出來。 We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the sacred mountain. 1:19 我們並有先知更確的預言,如同燈照在暗處。你們在這預言上留意,直等到天發亮,晨星在你們心裏出現的時候,才是好的。 And we have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. 1:20 第一要緊的,該知道經上所有的預言沒有可隨私意解說的; Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. 1:21 因為預言從來沒有出於人意的,乃是人被聖靈感動,說出 神的話來。 For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

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
