8提后一16 愿主怜悯阿尼色弗一家,因他屡次使我舒爽,且不以我的锁链为耻。
82 Tim. 1:16 May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chain.
9林前四17 ……我已打发提摩太到你们那里去;他在主里是我所亲爱、忠信的孩子;他必提醒你们,我在基督耶稣里怎样行事……。
91 Cor. 4:17 …I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways which are in Christ…
10腓二20 因我没有人与我同魂,真正关心你们的事。
10Phil. 2:20 For I have no one like-souled who will genuinely care for what concerns you.
11阿尼色弗是得胜者,他胜过一般的趋势,并站住抵挡那下坡的流,使主的大使灵、魂、体都舒爽,不以他为主的使命被囚为耻(圣经恢复本,提后一16注1)。
11Onesiphorus was an overcomer who surmounted the general trend and stood against the downward current to refresh the Lord’s ambassador in spirit, soul, and body, not being ashamed of the apostle’s imprisonment on behalf of the Lord’s commission. (2 Tim. 1:16, footnote 1)
12除了新约的知识以外,提摩太从小对旧约的知识也有美好的根基。他得了充分的成全和装备,以供应神的话,不仅为照管地方召会,也为面对召会日趋败落的光景(提后三15注1)。
12In addition to his knowledge of the New Testament, Timothy had, from his childhood, a good foundation in the knowledge of the Old Testament. He was one who was fully perfected and equipped to minister the word of God, not only in caring for a local church but also in confronting the worsening decline of the church. (2 Tim. 3:15, footnote 1)
13〔腓立比书〕非常着重信徒的魂。我们必须同魂与人位化的福音信仰一齐努力(一27);我们必须魂里联结,思念同一件事(二2);并且我们必须同魂,真正关心基督耶稣的事(20~21)。在福音的工作上,在信徒的交通上,以及在主的权益上,我们的魂总是个难处。因此,我们的魂,特别是魂的主要部分—心思,必须被变化(罗十二2),使我们在基督的身体生活里是一魂的,在魂里联结,并且同魂(腓二20注1)。
13Philippians deals very much with the believers’ soul. We must strive together with one soul along with the personified faith of the gospel (1:27); we must be joined in soul, thinking the one thing (2:2); and we must be like-souled, genuinely caring for the things of Christ Jesus (vv. 20-21). In the gospel work, in the fellowship among the believers, and in the pursuing of the Lord’s interests, our soul is always a problem. Hence, it must be transformed, especially in its leading part, the mind (Rom. 12:2), that we may be of one soul, joined in soul, and like-souled in the Body life. (Phil. 2:20, footnote 1)
信息选读
Today's Reading
14早期的召会承认路加是〔路加〕福音和行传的著者。从文体看,显然路加是这两卷书的著者。路加是外邦人(西四14,参11),可能是住小亚细亚的希利尼人,也是医生(14)。他在特罗亚开始加入保罗的职事,在保罗后三次出外尽职时,与保罗同行(徒十六10~17二十5~二一18二七1~二八15)。他忠信地陪伴保罗,直到保罗殉道(门24提后四11)。因此,他的福音应当代表保罗的观点,如马可福音代表彼得的观点一样(见可一1注1一段)(圣经恢复本,路一3注1)。
14The early church recognized Luke as the author of both this Gospel and the Acts. Luke’s authorship is evident from the style of composition of the two books. Luke was a Gentile (Col. 4:14; cf. Col. 4:11), probably an Asiatic Greek, and a physician (Col. 4:14). Beginning in Troas, he joined Paul in his ministry and accompanied him in his last three ministry journeys (Acts 16:10-17; 20:5—21:18; 27:1—28:15). He was a faithful companion of Paul until Paul’s martyrdom (Philem. 24; 2 Tim. 4:11). Hence, his Gospel should represent Paul’s views, as Mark’s represents Peter’s (see Mark 1:1, footnote 1, par. 1). (Luke 1:3, footnote 1)
15保罗不在乎环境,也不在乎他所想的或他所能看见的;他只在乎他的灵。他的弟兄提多还没有来,所以他灵里不安〔林后二13〕。我喜欢“我灵里”这个辞。我们必须认识我们的灵,也必须学习如何在我们的灵里行一切事。我们若要快乐,就必须在灵里快乐;我们若要忧愁,就必须在灵里忧愁。许多时候我们仅仅是在我们的情感里快乐;……但我们都必须学习如何在灵里快乐,如何在我们的灵里不安。我们都需要学习顾到我们灵里的安息,并作一个在灵里生活的人。
15Paul did not care for the circumstances or for what he thought or could see. He only cared for his spirit. His brother Titus had not come, so he did not have rest in his spirit [2 Cor. 2:13]. I like this phrase—in my spirit. We have to be brought into the realization of our spirit, and we have to learn how to do everything in our spirit. If we are going to be happy, we have to be happy in the spirit. If we are going to be sorrowful, we have to be sorrowful in the spirit. Many times we are happy merely in our emotions…We have to learn how to be happy in the spirit, how to have rest in our spirit. We need to learn to take care of the rest in our spirit and be persons living in the spirit.
16到了林后四章十三节,保罗告诉我们,他和那些与他在一起的弟兄们有“同样信心的灵”。我们都必须学习操练灵到这样的程度。无论我们作什么,无论我们说什么,都必须确信我们有同样的灵,我们是在同样的灵里。这不是在魂里或肉体里的事,乃是在灵里的事。我们去看弟兄时,必须是在灵里去。我们彼此交通时,必须是在灵里交通。
16In 2 Corinthians 4:13 Paul tells us that he and the brothers with him had “the same spirit of faith.” We have to learn to exercise the spirit to such an extent. Whatever we do and whatever we say, we have to be sure that we have the same spirit, that we are in the same spirit. This is not something in the soul or in the flesh, but in the spirit. When we go to see a brother, we have to go in the spirit. When we have fellowship, we must have it in the spirit.
17在十二章十八节,保罗说他和提多在同一的灵里行事。这经节以及我们所交通过的其他经节,给我们看见使徒保罗是怎样的人。他乃是一个完全、绝对并彻底在灵里生活的人;他绝不离开他的灵(李常受文集一九六七年第二册,一八○至一八一、一八三页)。
17In 2 Corinthians 12:18 Paul said that he and Titus walked in the same spirit. This verse and the other verses we have fellowshipped show us what kind of person the apostle Paul was. He was a person fully, absolutely, and thoroughly living in the spirit. He would never be kept away from the spirit. (CWWL, 1967, vol. 2, “An Autobiography of a Person in the Spirit,” pp. 146, 148)

今日要点
19主题:在下坡的流中,留在忠信的人中间
19
211.保罗写提摩太后书的时期,召会已经离弃使徒的教训,离开了对主起初的爱,在败落的时期,在下坡的流中,大多数神的子民被掳去,但我们仍在本书中,看见仍有一些蒙主怜悯一直向祂忠信的人中间,我们需要留在他们中间,看见他们的榜样:
21
222.向主忠信的榜样:
22
23A.在提后一16指出,阿尼色弗是得胜者,他胜过一般的趋势,并站住抵挡那下坡的流,使主的大使灵、魂、体都舒畅,不以使徒为主的使命被囚为耻,他的名字意思是益处,对保罗是益处,他没有以保罗被监禁为耻,反倒殷勤的寻找保罗,直到找着了,我们也该成为对这分职事舒爽的人,成为对这分职事有益处之忠信的人。
23
24b.林前四17指出,提摩太是保罗所亲爱、忠信的孩子,提摩太必提醒信徒保罗是怎样在基督耶稣里行事,在这一节,亲爱说出他们的关系形同父子,忠信则说出提摩太对于身为工头保罗的态度,此外,在腓二20,保罗说没有人与他同魂,下文接着说到「但...提摩太...」,指出惟有提摩太与保罗同魂,真正关心信徒的事,这给我们看见,面对召会趋于败落的光景,我们需要对付我们的魂,使我们在魂里连结,并与这分职事同魂。
24
25C.早期的召会承认路加事路加福音和行传的作者,他是医生,在特罗亚开始加入保罗的职事,在保罗后三次出外尽职时,与保罗同行,他忠信地陪伴保罗,直到保罗殉道。
25
26D.保罗不在乎环境,他只在乎他的灵,他的弟兄提多还没有来,所以他灵里不安,此外,保罗也说,他和提多在同一的灵里行事,并在同一的脚踪里行事,以照顾众召会。
26
27E.保罗说到马可,他说他对保罗有用处,今天我们也需要在召会中,看见忠信的人,并留在他们中间。
27
28应用:我们必须认识我们的灵,也必须学习如何在灵里行一切事,快乐或忧愁,都要在灵里,作一个在灵里生活行动的人。
