1:1 作 神和主耶穌基督僕人的雅各請散住十二個支派之人的安。 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ,To the twelve tribes scattered among the nations:Greetings.
1:2 我的弟兄們,你們落在百般試煉中,都要以為大喜樂; Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 1:3 因為知道你們的信心經過試驗,就生忍耐。 because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 1:4 但忍耐也當成功,使你們成全、完備,毫無缺欠。 Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 1:5 你們中間若有缺少智慧的,應當求那厚賜與眾人、也不斥責人的 神,主就必賜給他。 If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. 1:6 只要憑著信心求,一點不疑惑;因為那疑惑的人,就像海中的波浪,被風吹動翻騰。 But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 1:7 這樣的人不要想從主那裏得甚麼。 That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; 1:8 心懷二意的人,在一切所行的路上都沒有定見。 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does. 1:9 卑微的弟兄升高,就該喜樂; The brother in humble circumstances ought to take pride in his high position. 1:10 富足的降卑,也該如此;因為他必要過去,如同草上的花一樣。 0 But the one who is rich should take pride in his low position, because he will pass away like a wild flower. 1:11 太陽出來,熱風颳起,草就枯乾,花也凋謝,美容就消沒了;那富足的人,在他所行的事上也要這樣衰殘。 For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich man will fade away even while he goes about his business. 1:12 忍受試探的人是有福的,因為他經過試驗以後,必得生命的冠冕,這是主應許給那些愛他之人的。 Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. 1:13 人被試探,不可說:「我是被 神試探」;因為 神不能被惡試探,他也不試探人。 When tempted, no one should say, <<God is tempting me.>> For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; 1:14 但各人被試探,乃是被自己的私慾牽引誘惑的。 but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. 1:15 私慾既懷了胎,就生出罪來;罪既長成,就生出死來。 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. 1:16 我親愛的弟兄們,不要看錯了。 Don't be deceived, my dear brothers. 1:17 各樣美善的恩賜和各樣全備的賞賜都是從上頭來的,從眾光之父那裏降下來的;在他並沒有改變,也沒有轉動的影兒。 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. 1:18 他按自己的旨意,用真道生了我們,叫我們在他所造的萬物中好像初熟的果子。 He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created. 1:19 我親愛的弟兄們,這是你們所知道的,但你們各人要快快地聽,慢慢地說,慢慢地動怒, My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, 1:20 因為人的怒氣並不成就 神的義。 for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires. 1:21 所以你們要脫去一切的污穢和盈餘的邪惡,存溫柔的心領受那所栽種的道,就是能救你們靈魂的道。 Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. 1:22 只是你們要行道,不要單單聽道,自己欺哄自己。 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 1:23 因為聽道而不行道的,就像人對著鏡子看自己本來的面目, Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror 1:24 看見,走後,隨即忘了他的相貌如何。 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 1:25 惟有詳細察看那全備,使人自由之律法的,並且時常如此,這人既不是聽了就忘,乃是實在行出來,就在他所行的事上必然得福。 But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it--he will be blessed in what he does. 1:26 若有人自以為虔誠,卻不勒住他的舌頭,反欺哄自己的心,這人的虔誠是虛的。 If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless. 1:27 在 神我們的父面前,那清潔沒有玷污的虔誠,就是看顧在患難中的孤兒寡婦,並且保守自己不沾染世俗。 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

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
