全新四年樂活讀經
W1 2013-09-30 提摩太後書3
3:1 你該知道,末世必有危險的日子來到。
3:2 因為那時,人要專顧自己,貪愛錢財,自誇,狂傲,謗讟,違背父母,忘恩負義,心不聖潔,
3:3 無親情,不解怨,好說讒言,不能自約,性情凶暴,不愛良善,
3:4 賣主賣友,任意妄為,自高自大,愛宴樂,不愛 神,
3:5 有敬虔的外貌,卻背了敬虔的實意;這等人你要躲開。
3:6 那偷進人家、牢籠無知婦女的,正是這等人。這些婦女擔負罪惡,被各樣的私慾引誘,
3:7 常常學習,終久不能明白真道。
3:8 從前雅尼和佯庇怎樣敵擋摩西,這等人也怎樣敵擋真道。他們的心地壞了,在真道上是可廢棄的。
3:9 然而他們不能再這樣敵擋;因為他們的愚昧必在眾人面前顯露出來,像那二人一樣。
默想: 保羅一口氣洋洋灑灑地羅列了十九項末世人們會出現的特質。這些特質很多是高傲自大,目中無人,自以為是,體貼肉體的特質。如果我們仔細看經文,會發現,這並不是用來描寫會外之人的敗壞,而是用來說明教會內在末世之時,會有不少這些假信徒。他們外表看起來是相信有上帝的,可能也有敬虔的外貌,但是卻是以自我為中心,這些人他們的生命中沒有上帝,他們也沒有真正的悔改與生命真實的改變。雖然他們可能有宗教的形式,但是卻沒有信仰所帶來的生命。只是個掛名的基督徒,但是他們掛上基督徒之名,可能是希望讓人覺得他是一個敬虔之人,卻不願真正的離開罪惡。這樣的人,是無法真正遵行主道,相反他們只會敗壞教會,使上帝國的名受損。
求神幫助我們,讓我們時常反省我們的生命,我們是掛名的基督徒嗎?還是我們的生命真實地在耶穌基督裡改變,讓我們將自己的主權交給耶穌,學習順服他的旨意、他的價值、他的命令來行。
題目: 根據本章經文,末世來臨時人會有那些變化呢?
3:1 你該知道,末世必有危險的日子來到。
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
3:2 因為那時,人要專顧自己,貪愛錢財,自誇,狂傲,謗讟,違背父母,忘恩負義,心不聖潔,
For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3:3 無親情,不解怨,好說讒言,不能自約,性情凶暴,不愛良善,
Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, false...: or, one who foments strife
3:4 賣主賣友,任意妄為,自高自大,愛宴樂,不愛 神,
Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
3:5 有敬虔的外貌,卻背了敬虔的實意;這等人你要躲開。
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
3:6 那偷進人家、牢籠無知婦女的,正是這等人。這些婦女擔負罪惡,被各樣的私慾引誘,
For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
3:7 常常學習,終久不能明白真道。
Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
3:8 從前雅尼和佯庇怎樣敵擋摩西,這等人也怎樣敵擋真道。他們的心地壞了,在真道上是可廢棄的。
Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. reprobate: or, of no judgment
3:9 然而他們不能再這樣敵擋;因為他們的愚昧必在眾人面前顯露出來,像那二人一樣。
But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men , as theirs also was.
3:10 但你已經服從了我的教訓、品行、志向、信心、寬容、愛心、忍耐,
But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, fully...: or, been a diligent follower of
3:11 以及我在安提阿、以哥念、路司得所遭遇的逼迫、苦難。我所忍受是何等的逼迫;但從這一切苦難中,主都把我救出來了。
Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.
3:12 不但如此,凡立志在基督耶穌裡敬虔度日的也都要受逼迫。
Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
3:13 只是作惡的和迷惑人的,必越久越惡,他欺哄人,也被人欺哄。
But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
3:14 但你所學習的,所確信的,要存在心裡;因為你知道是跟誰學的,
But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them ;
3:15 並且知道你是從小明白聖經,這聖經能使你因信基督耶穌,有得救的智慧。
And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
3:16 聖經都是 神所默示的(或譯:凡 神所默示的聖經),於教訓、督責、使人歸正、教導人學義都是有益的,
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
3:17 叫屬 神的人得以完全,預備行各樣的善事。
That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. throughly...: or, perfected
