全新四年樂活讀經
W5 2011-09-02 (羅14)
經文: 羅馬書 14:5-6 有人看這日比那日強；有人看日日都是一樣。只是各人心裡要意見堅定。守日的人是為主守的；吃的人是為主吃的，因他感謝神；不吃的人是為主不吃的，也感謝神。
默想: 保 羅在此段經文中，討論到多元社會中之容許個人自由選擇的空間。保羅談到有關日子的選定以及食物的取用問題。保羅認為這兩類問題，是容許各人的良心與抉擇。 只要是為主的緣故作為動機，就要互相尊重與接納，不要互相論斷與辯論。主啊！求你教導我，在今日教會的許多爭議不休議題當中，有那些是屬於像保羅所說的日 子與食物的性質，是我們應該學習互相尊重與接納的。
題目: 1-6節，對於「彼此接納」你有何看法與經驗？保羅的教導為何？對你有何提醒？
14:1 信心軟弱的，你們要接納，但不要辯論所疑惑的事。
As for the man who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not for disputes over opinions.
14:2 有人信百物都可吃；但那軟弱的，只吃蔬菜。
One believes he may eat anything, while the weak man eats only vegetables.
14:3 吃的人不可輕看不吃的人；不吃的人不可論斷吃的人；因為 神已經收納他了。
Let not him who eats despise him who abstains, and let not him who abstains pass judgment on him who eats; for God has welcomed him.
14:4 你是誰，竟論斷別人的僕人呢？他或站住，或跌倒，自有他的主人在；而且他也必要站住，因為主能使他站住。
Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Master is able to make him stand.
14:5 有人看這日比那日強；有人看日日都是一樣。只是各人心裡要意見堅定。
One man esteems one day as better than another, while another man esteems all days alike. Let every one be fully convinced in his own mind.
14:6 守日的人是為主守的；吃的人是為主吃的，因他感謝 神；不吃的人是為主不吃的，也感謝 神。
He who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. He also who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God; while he who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God.
14:7 我們沒有一個人為自己活，也沒有一個人為自己死。
None of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself.
14:8 我們若活著，是為主而活；若死了，是為主而死。所以，我們或活或死總是主的人。
If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord; so then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's.
14:9 因此基督死了又活了，為要作死人並活人的主。
For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.
14:10 你這個人，為甚麼論斷弟兄呢？又為甚麼輕看弟兄呢？因我們都要站在 神的臺前。
Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God;
14:11 經上寫著：主說：我憑著我的永生起誓：萬膝必向我跪拜；萬口必向我承認。
for it is written, "As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall give praise to God."
14:12 這樣看來，我們各人必要將自己的事在 神面前說明。
So each of us shall give account of himself to God.
14:13 所以，我們不可再彼此論斷，寧可定意誰也不給弟兄放下絆腳跌人之物。
Then let us no more pass judgment on one another, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother.
14:14 我憑著主耶穌確知深信，凡物本來沒有不潔淨的；惟獨人以為不潔淨的，在他就不潔淨了。
I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself; but it is unclean for any one who thinks it unclean.
14:15 你若因食物叫弟兄憂愁，就不是按著愛人的道理行。基督已經替他死，你不可因你的食物叫他敗壞。
If your brother is being injured by what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. Do not let what you eat cause the ruin of one for whom Christ died.
14:16 不可叫你的善被人毀謗；
So do not let your good be spoken of as evil.
14:17 因為 神的國不在乎吃喝，只在乎公義、和平，並聖靈中的喜樂。
For the kingdom of God is not food and drink but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit;
14:18 在這幾樣上服事基督的，就為 神所喜悅，又為人所稱許。
he who thus serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men.
14:19 所以，我們務要追求和睦的事與彼此建立德行的事。
Let us then pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding.
14:20 不可因食物毀壞 神的工程。凡物固然潔淨，但有人因食物叫人跌倒，就是他的罪了。
Do not, for the sake of food, destroy the work of God. Everything is indeed clean, but it is wrong for any one to make others fall by what he eats;
14:21 無論是吃肉，是喝酒，是甚麼別的事，叫弟兄跌倒，一概不做才好。
it is right not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything that makes your brother stumble.
14:22 你有信心，就當在 神面前守著。人在自己以為可行的事上能不自責，就有福了。
The faith that you have, keep between yourself and God; happy is he who has no reason to judge himself for what he approves.
14:23 若有疑心而吃的，就必有罪，因為他吃不是出於信心。凡不出於信心的都是罪。
But he who has doubts is condemned, if he eats, because he does not act from faith; for whatever does not proceed from faith is sin.
As for the man who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not for disputes over opinions.
14:2 有人信百物都可吃；但那軟弱的，只吃蔬菜。
One believes he may eat anything, while the weak man eats only vegetables.
14:3 吃的人不可輕看不吃的人；不吃的人不可論斷吃的人；因為 神已經收納他了。
Let not him who eats despise him who abstains, and let not him who abstains pass judgment on him who eats; for God has welcomed him.
14:4 你是誰，竟論斷別人的僕人呢？他或站住，或跌倒，自有他的主人在；而且他也必要站住，因為主能使他站住。

14:6 守日的人是為主守的；吃的人是為主吃的，因他感謝 神；不吃的人是為主不吃的，也感謝 神。
He who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. He also who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God; while he who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God.
14:7 我們沒有一個人為自己活，也沒有一個人為自己死。
None of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself.
14:8 我們若活著，是為主而活；若死了，是為主而死。所以，我們或活或死總是主的人。
If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord; so then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's.
14:9 因此基督死了又活了，為要作死人並活人的主。
For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.

羅馬書 14:1 「信心軟弱的，你們要接納，但不要辯論所疑惑的事」。羅馬書14:3 「吃的人不可輕看不吃的人；不吃的人不可論斷吃的人；因為神已經收納他了」。這兩處經文都提到「接納」（προσλαμβάνω）這個字。它原文的意思是指to take to or with oneself in one’s company ；To receive to oneself, admit to one’s society and fellowship, receive and treat with kindness。可見它有「完全接受」即使他的缺點，也要「包容」。
回覆刪除為主傳福音的緣故，保羅坐監時，也寫信給腓利門, 為保羅在捆鎖中所生的兒子「阿尼西母」求情，希望腓利門能「接納」，這個從前與腓利門沒有益處，但如今與腓利門和保羅都有益處的「阿尼西母」 (腓利門書) 。是的，羅馬書 14: 3節告訴我們不可論斷人，因為上帝已經收納他了。信心軟弱的，你們要「接納」，但不要辯論所疑惑的事。羅馬書 14:6 也告訴我們：「守日的人是為主守的；吃的人是為主吃的，因他感謝神；不吃的人是為主不吃的，也感謝神」。羅馬書 14:8 ：「我們若活著，是為主而活；若死了，是為主而死。所以，我們或活或死總是主的人」。所以，我們每天的生活，都是為主而活的，不是為自己。
感謝上帝！祂是主，主掌權； 我們活著是「為主而活」；因為上帝已經收納軟弱的弟兄了，我們當「彼此接納」、效法基督、彼此同心、來榮耀上帝！在因信稱義的生活中，以愛來實踐，不可彼此論斷，要彼此堅固，叫鄰舍喜悅。因上帝的信實，憑信心來到祂面前，藉著聖靈的內住，持守地相信耶穌基督，恩典的救贖，生活中大有喜樂、充滿平安和盼望。
