Ephesians 以弗所書4:1-10

1 I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called,

1 我為主被囚的勸你們:既然蒙召,行事為人就當與蒙召的恩相稱,

2 with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love,

2 凡事謙虛、溫柔、忍耐,用愛心互相寬容,

3 endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

3 用和平彼此聯絡,竭力保守聖靈所賜合而為一的心。

4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling;

4 身體只有一個,聖靈只有一個,正如你們蒙召同有一個指望;

5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism;

5 一主,一信,一洗,

6 one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

6 一神,就是眾人的父,超乎眾人之上,貫乎眾人之中,也住在眾人之內。

7 But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift.

7 我們各人蒙恩,都是照基督所量給各人的恩賜。

8 Therefore He says: “When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men.”

8 所以經上說:「他升上高天的時候,擄掠了仇敵,將各樣的恩賜賞給人。」

9 (Now this, “He ascended”—what does it mean but that He also first descended into the lower parts of the earth?

9 (既說升上,豈不是先降在地下嗎?

10 He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.)

Meditate 默想:

  1. What kind of God do you see from this passage? What are His attributes? 從這段經文中,你看出我們的神是怎樣的神?祂有什麼特質?
  2. As you receive this passage, what is God saying to us? 你領受這段經文,神在向我們說什麼?
  3. How do you apply this passage in your life? 你如何應用這段經文在你的生活中?

10 那降下的,就是遠升諸天之上要充滿萬有的。)
