呼召

羅十五1421

飯團:作神僕祭司,獻外邦成聖,只傳神能力,建造未聽的。

所得:為著在我生命中的福音先驅感謝主,使身為外邦人的我得以獻在主前成為活祭。求主扶持,使我堅定於主的呼召,成為主器皿,讓主得榮耀!!
------------------

「我立定主意,不在宣揚過基督的地方傳福音,免得建立在別人的根基上,」(羅十五20;新譯本)

信息版聖經說,
「這都是開拓性的工作,把信息帶到未曾知道也未曾敬拜耶穌的那些地方。
(羅十五20MSG)

保羅的呼召,是作福音開拓的工作,而且他定意如此行。

我有沒有領受從神而來的呼召,像保羅那樣堅定又引以為榮的?

------------------

為著在我生命中、
每一位栽種澆灌的福音先驅,
而深深地感謝主。
因著他們,身為外邦人的我,
得以獻在主前,成為活祭。

主阿,能蒙祢憐憫與揀選,
在祢殿中讚美祢,是何等榮耀!
求主扶持我,堅固我,
使我堅定於祢對我的呼召,
使用我全人成為祢的器皿,
為主贏得靈魂,
好讓祢得榮耀!!

[後記]
今早晨禱返家途中,
正巧望見落在太陽前的薄雲一片,
竟刷出一抹虹,
霎時覺得,真美‧‧‧

【和/NIV
15:14 弟兄們、我自己也深信你們是滿有良善、充足了諸般的知識、也能彼此勸戒。
I myself am convinced, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, complete in knowledge and competent to instruct one another.
15:15 但我稍微放膽寫信給你們、是要提醒你們的記性、特因 神所給我的恩典、
I have written you quite boldly on some points, as if to remind you of them again, because of the grace God gave me
15:16 使我為外邦人作基督耶穌的僕役、作 神福音的祭司、叫所獻上的外邦人、因著聖靈、成為聖潔、可蒙悅納。
to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles with the priestly duty of proclaiming the gospel of God, so that the Gentiles might become an offering acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
15:17 所以論到 神的事我在基督耶穌裡有可誇的。
Therefore I glory in Christ Jesus in my service to God.
15:18 除了基督藉我作的那些事、我甚麼都不敢提.只提他藉我言語作為、用神蹟奇事的能力、並聖靈的能力、使外邦人順服.
I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles to obey God by what I have said and done--
15:19 甚至我從耶路撒冷、直轉到以利哩古、到處傳了基督的福音。
by the power of signs and miracles, through the power of the Spirit. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.
15:20 我立了志向、不在基督的名被稱過的地方傳福音、免得建造在別人的根基上.
It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else's foundation.
15:21 就如經上所記、『未曾聞知他信息的、將要看見.未曾聽過的、將要明白。』
Rather, as it is written: "Those who were not told about him will see, and those who have not heard will understand."

不在傳過基督的地方傳福音【新】
15:14 我的弟兄們,我個人深信你們自己也滿有良善,充滿豐富的知識,也能夠彼此勸導。
15:15 但有些地方,我寫得稍為大膽一點,是要提醒你們;我因著 神賜給我的恩典,
15:16 為外族人作了基督耶穌的僕役,作了 神福音的祭司,使所獻上的外族人得蒙悅納,靠著聖靈成為聖潔。
15:17 所以,在 神的事上,我在基督耶穌裡倒有可以引以為榮的。
15:18 別的我不敢說,我只說基督藉著我所作的事,就是用言語行為,藉著神蹟和奇事的大能,以及聖靈的大能,使外族人順服;
15:19 這樣,我從耶路撒冷直到以利里古,把基督的福音都傳開了。
15:20 我立定主意,不在宣揚過基督的地方傳福音,免得建立在別人的根基上,
15:21 反而照經上所記:那對他一無所聞的,將要看見;那沒有聽過的,將要明白。

【呂】
15:14 弟兄們,我本人對你們,倒深信你們自己是滿有良善,充滿各樣知識,又能彼此勸戒的。
15:15 但有些地方,我大膽地給你們寫信,做提醒你們的資料,是因從上帝那裏所賜給我的恩,
15:16 使我向外國人做基督耶穌的僕役,做上帝福音的祭司,使外國人之受供獻成為可蒙悅納,在聖靈裏分別為聖的。
15:17 所以關於上帝的事,我在基督耶穌裏倒有可誇處。
15:18 因為別的我都不敢說,只說基督藉著我所作成的事:就是他怎樣將言語和行為,
15:19 用神跡的能力,即奇事的能力,用聖靈的能力,得到外國人的聽從。故此我才能從耶路撒冷轉灣到以利裏古,把基督的福音都傳遍了。
15:20 我是這樣,不在基督的名被稱過的地方傳福音,免得建造在別人的根基上;
15:21 卻是像經上所記的:「沒有得傳告關於他的事的,必看見;沒有聽見過的,必曉悟。」

 14-16 Personally, I've been completely satisfied with who you are and what you are doing. You seem to me to be well-motivated and well-instructed, quite capable of guiding and advising one another. So, my dear friends, don't take my rather bold and blunt language as criticism. It's not criticism. I'm simply underlining how very much I need your help in carrying out this highly focused assignment God gave me, this priestly and gospel work of serving the spiritual needs of the non-Jewish outsiders so they can be presented as an acceptable offering to God, made whole and holy by God's Holy Spirit.
 17-21 Looking back over what has been accomplished and what I have observed, I must say I am most pleased—in the context of Jesus, I'd even say proud, but only in that context. I have no interest in giving you a chatty account of my adventures, only the wondrously powerful and transformingly present words and deeds of Christ in me that triggered a believing response among the outsiders. In such ways I have trailblazed a preaching of the Message of Jesus all the way from Jerusalem far into northwestern Greece. This has all been pioneer work, bringing the Message only into those places where Jesus was not yet known and worshiped. My text has been,

   Those who were never told of him—
      they'll see him!
   Those who've never heard of him—
      they'll get the message!

 14-16 我個人對於你們的所是以及所做,感到很滿意。對我來說,你們似乎受過良好的激勵與訓練,很能彼此引導並建議。所以,我親愛的朋友們,別把我的大膽和直率的用語當成批評。這不是批評。我只是強調,我多需要你的幫助,以實現神給我這非常明確的任務,這神職且福音的工作,是服事非猶太裔的外邦人屬靈的需求,好獻上他們,成為被神悅納的祭,是被聖靈塑造完整且聖潔的祭。
 17-21 回顧那已完成以及我已觀察到的,我必須說我非常高興就基督而言,我甚至說很自豪,不過這只就基督這方面而言。我沒有興趣跟你大談我的奇遇,在我裡面只有基督奇妙權能又有轉化的話語與行事,這在外邦人中引起了信仰的回應。在這方面,我首創傳講耶穌的信息,一路從耶路撒冷直到希臘西北部。這都是開拓性的工作,把信息帶到未曾知道也未曾敬拜耶穌的那些地方。我的經文是,

 那些未曾得知有祂的人
  他們要見祂!
 那些未曾聽過祂的人
  他們要聽到這信息!
