1/8/2023 住在我里头的罪

罗7:18-20

我也知道、在我里头、就是我肉体之中、没有良善．因为立志为善由得我、只是行出来由不得我。故此、我所愿意的善、我反不作．我所不愿意的恶、我倒去作。若我去作所不愿意作的、就不是我作的、乃是住在我里头的罪作的。

For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don't find it doing that which is good. For the good which I desire, I don't do; but the evil which I don't desire, that I practice. But if what I don't desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.

主耶稣！感谢圣灵的光照, 使我从另一个角度看罪, 原来罪是住在我里头。我过去体贴肉体, 放纵私欲, 是在喂养住在我里面的罪。主啊！求祢赐给我心意更新的智慧, 有能力摆脱一切罪源的引力, 有智慧不去喂养在我里面的罪。

31/7/2023 律法是属乎灵的

罗7:12-14

这样看来、律法是圣洁的、诫命也是圣洁、公义、良善的。既然如此、那良善的是叫我死么．断乎不是．叫我死的乃是罪。但罪借着那良善的叫我死、就显出真是罪．叫罪因着诫命更显出是恶极了。我们原晓得律法是属乎灵的、但我是属乎肉体的、是已经卖给罪了。

Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good. Did then that which is good become death to me? May it never be! But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, by working death to me through that which is good; that through the commandment sin might become exceeding sinful. For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.

主耶稣！律法, 诫命是圣洁的, 公义, 良善, 都是好的, 是神所赐予我们的祝福。我们误解了律法和诫命, 认为律法是在掌控我们的生活方式。主啊！我要重新看重神的律法, 诫命, 我要爱神的法则, 且要爱读神的话, 更要谨慎, 行完神的道, 彼此相爱, 成全律法。

30/7/2023 神的恩赐：永生

罗6:23

因为罪的工价乃是死．惟有神的恩赐、在我们的主基督耶稣里、乃是永生。

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

主耶稣！我的心充满感恩, 因为, 我最清楚知道, 我到底做错了什么, 到底做了什么不该做的, 犯了什么亏欠神荣耀的事, 行这些事的结局, 本是该面对地上和天上的刑罚。主啊！是神的慈爱, 怜悯, 我们得以在的主基督耶稣里, 罪得赦免, 是神的恩赐, 我们不至于死, 反得永生。

29/7/2023 结局

罗6:20-22

因为你们作罪之奴仆的时候、就不被义约束了。你们现今所看为羞耻的事、当日有甚么果子呢．那些事的结局就是死。但现今你们既从罪里得了释放、作了神的奴仆、就有成圣的果子、那结局就是永生。

For when you were servants of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. What fruit then did you have at that time in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. But now, being made free from sin, and having become servants of God, you have your fruit of sanctification, and the result of eternal life.

主耶稣！我看到, 我们的身体, 可以是作罪之奴仆, 或是作神的奴仆, 其后果, 有迥然不同的结局, 就是死和永生。主啊！我要做一个有智慧的人, 单单选择作神的奴仆, 得永生。

28/7/2023 顺从谁

罗6:16-18

岂不晓得你们献上自己作奴仆、顺从谁、就作谁的奴仆么．或作罪的奴仆、以至于死．或作顺命的奴仆、以至成义。感谢神、因为你们从前虽然作罪的奴仆、现今却从心里顺服了所传给你们道理的模范。你们既从罪里得了释放、就作了义的奴仆。

Don't you know that to whom you present yourselves as servants to obedience, his servants you are whom you obey; whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness? But thanks be to God, that, whereas you were bondservants of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching whereunto you were delivered. Being made free from sin, you became bondservants of righteousness.

主耶稣！今早的经文, 叫我自问, 我是我身体的主人吗？我的身体又是在为谁作事呢？我的身体若是作恶, 我就是恶者的奴仆。主啊！我如今得救, 脱离恶者的辖制, 就不再事奉恶者, 乃是要事奉主基督, 荣耀天父。

27/7/2023 在恩典之下

罗6:14-15

罪必不能作你们的主．因你们不在律法之下、乃在恩典之下。这却怎么样呢．我们在恩典之下、不在律法之下、就可以犯罪么．断乎不可。

For sin will not have dominion over you. For you are not under law, but under grace. What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? May it never be!

主耶稣！我明白了, 神若追究人的罪恶, 没有人能在神面前站立的住。是神的恩典, 因祢救赎之恩, 神不定我的罪愆。主啊！我是在这恩典中生活作息, 求圣灵加添力量, 勇敢面对, 用决心脱离过去罪中的生活习惯。

26/7/2023 将自己献给神

罗6:12-13

所以不要容罪在你们必死的身上作王、使你们顺从身子的私欲．也不要将你们的肢体献给罪作不义的器具．倒要像从死里复活的人、将自己献给神．并将肢体作义的器具献给神。

Therefore don't let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. Neither present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

主耶稣！原来我们所做的事情, 是在献祭, 做恶是在献祭给撒旦, 行善是在献祭给神。主啊！求神赦免我们的无知, 亏欠神的荣耀, 把神所赐的福, 恩赐, 能力, 用在行恶的事上。我们要悔改, 要禁止做恶, 要行善, 以谦卑的心与圣灵同行。

25/7/2023 断乎不可

罗6:1-2

这样、怎么说呢．我们可以仍在罪中、叫恩典显多么。断乎不可．我们在罪上死了的人、岂可仍在罪中活着呢。

What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?

主耶稣！我看到有些蒙恩得救的人，仍在罪中活着，在罪中享乐，我在思想，这样的人，他们的良心, 艮知出现了什么问题? 主啊！求圣灵光照我的良心，激活我的良知，不叫我的良心沉睡在罪中，不叫我的良知在享乐中麻木。叫我敬畏神的心，常常处在儆醒状态。

24/7/2023 恩典借着义作王

罗5:20-21

律法本是外添的、叫过犯显多．只是罪在那里显多、恩典就更显多了。就如罪作王叫人死、照样、恩典也借着义作王、叫人因我们的主耶稣基督得永生。

The law came in besides, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded more exceedingly; that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

主耶稣！经上说，恩典借着义作王，而义需要借着律法将罪给显露。那里有律法，罪必不能隐藏，而那里也正是需要恩典。主啊！我们不能没有律法，更不能没有恩典。我们需要律法，但是，不是高举律法，乃是高举思典。

23/7/2023 过犯不如恩赐

罗5:15-16

只是过犯不如恩赐．若因一人的过犯、众人都死了、何况神的恩典、与那因耶稣基督一人恩典中的赏赐、岂不更加倍的临到众人么。因一人犯罪就定罪、也不如恩赐．原来审判是由一人而定罪、恩赐乃是由许多过犯而称义。

But the free gift isn't like the trespass. For if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God, and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many. The gift is not as through one who sinned: for the judgment came by one to condemnation, but the free gift came of many trespasses to justification.

主耶稣！我们因耶稣基督一人恩典中得赏赐，这是恩赐。主啊！我被神称为义，就是恩赐。我不能说，我没有恩赐，我还活着的每一天，我都要向神心存感恩

22/7/2023 罪是从一人入了世界

罗5:12 

这就如罪是从一人入了世界、死又是从罪来的、于是死就临到众人、因为众人都犯了罪。

Therefore as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin; and so death passed to all men, because all sinned.

主耶稣！今早的经文，罪是从一人入了世界，让我联想，因父亲犯罪，带给家人的情景。主啊！求圣灵感动教会里做父亲的，他们知道真理，却没有按照真理来生活，求圣灵光照，叫他们的良心苏醒，全心归回，顺服神的道，爱家人，成为家人的祝福。

21/7/2023 以神为乐

罗5:8-12

惟有基督在我们还作罪人的时候为我们死、神的爱就在此向我们显明了。现在我们既靠着他的血称义、就更要借着他免去神的忿怒。因为我们作仇敌的时候、且借着神儿子的死、得与神和好、既已和好、就更要因他的生得救了。不但如此、我们既借着我主耶稣基督、得与神和好、也就借着他、以神为乐。

But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we will be saved from God's wrath through him. For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we will be saved by his life. Not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

主耶稣！靠着祢的血称义，借着祢免去神的忿怒，借着祢的死得与神和好。主啊！每当我想到，祢为我所成就的这一切，我的心欢喜，我的灵就快乐。我的心充满感恩，我的口就不住的歌唱。我主我神，何等伟大！

20/7/2023 盼望不至于羞耻

罗5:3-5

不但如此、就是在患难中、也是欢欢喜喜的．因为知道患难生忍耐．忍耐生老练．老练生盼望．盼望不至于羞耻．因为所赐给我们的圣灵、将神的爱浇灌在我们心里。

Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering works perseverance;

and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope: and hope doesn't disappoint us, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

主耶稣！祢的话带给我们盼望的亮光和能力。主啊！我们是大有盼望的人，在任何环境中，我们都可以借着圣灵，能够结忍耐，老练，喜乐，和平，节制的果子，活出盼望的生命。

19/7/2023 盼望神的荣耀

罗5:1 我们既因信称义、就借着我们的主耶稣基督、得与神相和。我们又借着他、因信得进入现在所站的这恩典中、并且欢欢喜喜盼望神的荣耀。

Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ; through whom we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand. We rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

主耶稣！因信称义，得与神相和，因信进入恩典，得与盼望神的荣耀。我看见了我现在的位置。与神和好，神称我为义，这一切都是恩典。主啊！我盼望主荣耀的再来，我也盼望那复活荣耀永恒新造的我。

18/7/223 耶稣被交给人

罗4:22-25

所以这就算为他的义。算为他义的这句话、不是单为他写的、也是为我们将来得算为义之人写的．就是我们这信神使我们的主耶稣从死里复活的人。耶稣被交给人、是为我们的过犯、复活、是为叫我们称义。

Therefore it also was "reckoned to him for righteousness." Now it was not written that it was accounted to him for his sake alone, but for our sake also, to whom it will be accounted, who believe in him who raised Jesus, our Lord, from the dead, who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.

主耶稣！祢所做的一切，都是为了我们，祢一切所做的，成就了神的美旨，叫我们称义。主啊！我祈求圣灵，叫我所做的一切，都可以荣耀神的名，可以成就神的美旨，即使面对吃亏，也不可叫主耶稣基督的名因为我而蒙受羞愧。

17/7/2023 神所应许的必能作成

罗4:19-21

他将近百岁的时候、虽然想到自己的身体如同已死、撒拉的生育已经断绝、他的信心还是不软弱．并且仰望神的应许、总没有因不信、心里起疑惑．反倒因信、心里得坚固、将荣耀归给神。且满心相信、神所应许的必能作成．

Without being weakened in faith, he didn't consider his own body, already having been worn out, (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb. Yet, looking to the promise of God, he didn't waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God, and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was also able to perform.

主耶稣！我从亚伯拉罕身上看到什么是信心，他是如何仰望神的应许，要将荣耀归给神。主啊！我要心里得坚固，心里起疑惑时，就要想到亚伯拉罕，神所应许的祝福必能作成。

16/7/2023 因信仍有指望

罗4:17-18

亚伯拉罕所信的、是那叫死人复活使无变为有的神、他在主面前作我们世人的父．如经上所记、『我已经立你作多国的父。』他在无可指望的时候、因信仍有指望、就得以作多国的父、正如先前所说、『你的后裔将要如此。』

As it is written, "I have made you a father of many nations." This is in the presence of him whom he believed: God, who gives life to the dead, and calls the things that are not, as though they were. Who in hope believed against hope, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, "So will your seed be."

主耶稣！我领悟到指望和信心是一体的。主啊！我祈求，当圣灵感动，使我产生盼望时,  有足够的信心去回应。使我和我家, 世代都蒙神的眷顾。

15/7/2023 应许也归给那效法亚伯拉罕之信的人应许也归给那效法亚伯拉罕之信的人

罗4:14,16

若是属乎律法的人、才得为后嗣、信就归于虚空、应许也就废弃了。所以人得为后嗣是本乎信．因此就属乎恩．叫应许定然归给一切后裔．不但归给那属乎律法的、也归给那效法亚伯拉罕之信的。

For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of no effect. For this cause it is of faith, that it may be according to grace, to the end that the promise may be sure to all the seed, not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all.

主耶稣！感谢天父的启示, 因信称义的真理, 叫应许归给那效法亚伯拉罕。主啊！我不停留在对真理知识的层面，我要活出效法亚伯拉罕的生命，相信永生的神, 是全知, 全能，是叫死人复活的神，将生命的主权全然委托在神手中。

14/7/2023 称义的印证

罗4:11-12

并且他受了割礼的记号、作他未受割礼的时候因信称义的印证、叫他作一切未受割礼而信之人的父、使他们也算为义．又作受割礼之人的父、就是那些不但受割礼、并且按我们的祖宗亚伯拉罕、未受割礼而信之踪迹去行的人。

He received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they might be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might also be accounted to them. He is the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had in uncircumcision.

主耶稣！哈利路亚！亚伯拉罕未受割礼的时候, 因信神, 神称亚伯拉罕为义。割礼成了称义的印证。主啊！我们心里相信祢是基督, 永生神的儿子,  神就称我们为义, 洗礼也就成了我们称义的印证。感谢天父的恩典。

13/7/2023 我是蒙福的人

罗4:4-8

作工的得工价、不算恩典、乃是该得的、惟有不作工的、只信称罪人为义的神、他的信就算为义。正如大卫称那在行为以外、蒙神算为义的人是有福的。他说、『得赦免其过、遮盖其罪的、这人是有福的。主不算为有罪的、这人是有福的。』

Now to him who works, the reward is not counted as grace, but as something owed. But to him who doesn't work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness. Even as David also pronounces blessing on the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from works, "Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whom the Lord will by no means charge with sin."

主耶稣！今早经文, 使我的心充满极大的喜乐和平安。主啊！我是蒙恩蒙福的人, 神赦免了我一切的过犯, 罪恶, 神不追讨我的罪孽, 神称我为义, 何等奇妙的三福。我的心完全得着了释放, 我的灵大大的快乐。感谢祢主耶稣！我爱祢。

12/7/2023 人称义是因着信

罗3:28-30

所以我们看定了、人称义是因着信、不在乎遵行律法。难道神只作犹太人的神么．不也是作外邦人的神么．是的、也作外邦人的神。神既是一位、他就要因信称那受割礼的为义、也要因信称那未受割礼的为义。

We maintain therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law. Or is God the God of Jews only? Isn't he the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, since indeed there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith, and the uncircumcised through faith.

主耶稣！人称义是因着信, 完全是出于神的慈爱和恩典。主啊！我们相信祢是永生神的儿子, 承认祢是基督, 我们的救赎主。我们不是, 也不可能靠自己的德行得以称义。我们没有有夸的, 都是恩典。

11/7/2023 神的恩典

罗3:10-11, 23-24

就如经上所记、『没有义人、连一个也没有．没有明白的、没有寻求神的．都是偏离正路、一同变为无用．没有行善的、连一个也没有。...因为世人都犯了罪、亏缺了神的荣耀。如今却蒙神的恩典、因基督耶稣的救赎、就白白的称义。

As it is written, "There is no one righteous; no, not one. There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks after God. They have all turned aside. They have together become unprofitable. There is no one who does good, no, not, so much as one."... for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God; being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.

主耶稣！人心比万物都诡诈, 坏到极处, 没有义人, 连一个也没有, 世人都犯了罪, 亏缺了神的荣耀。这话是真实的。主啊！世人无法靠自己的义行, 德行, 去弥补所亏欠神的荣耀。感恩！因祢担当了我们的过犯, 神免了我们的债, 这一切, 完全是祢救赎的恩典。

10/7/2023 真割礼是心里的

罗2:28-29

因为外面作犹太人的、不是真犹太人、外面肉身的割礼、也不是真割礼．惟有里面作的、才是真犹太人．真割礼也是心里的、在乎灵不在乎仪文．这人的称赞、不是从人来的、乃是从神来的。

For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh; but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.

主耶稣！我晓得割礼, 洗礼, 虽然是外在的礼仪, 却是神所指示的。主啊！是的, 我们在受洗这件事上, 愿意接受神的指示, 但是, 在奉献上, 彼此相爱, 热心行善, 在信靠神, 敬畏神的事上, 心里却停滞在旧我的状态, 没有接受神的指示, 求主赦免。

9/7/2023 因为神不偏待人

罗2:10-11

却将荣耀、尊贵、平安、加给一切行善的人、先是犹太人、后是希利尼人．因为神不偏待人。

But glory, honor, and peace go to every man who works good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For there is no partiality with God.

主耶稣！我看到, 因为神不偏待人, 那行善的人, 将会得到神赏赐的荣耀, 尊贵, 平安。主啊！那不行善的基督徒, 他们在神的眼中, 远不如不信的人。我知道, 我要活出我所信的信心, 没有行为的信心是死的。

8/7/2023 必照各人的行为报应各人

罗2:4-6

还是你藐视他丰富的恩慈、宽容、忍耐、不晓得他的恩慈是领你悔改呢．你竟任着你刚硬不悔改的心、为自己积蓄忿怒、以致神震怒、显他公义审判的日子来到。他必照各人的行为报应各人．

Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance? But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath, revelation, and of the righteous judgment of God; who "will pay back to everyone according to their works:"

主耶稣！我明白了, 神必照各人的行为报应各人, 主啊！我们承认轻视了神的恩典, 也误解了天父的恩慈, 常常硬着心, 不肯认错, 也不容易归回正路。求神赦免, 求圣灵扶持我, 归回正路, 走进神的意旨。

7/7/2023 自己所行和别人一样

罗2:1-3

你这论断人的、无论你是谁、也无可推诿、你在甚么事上论断人、就在甚么事上定自己的罪．因你这论断人的、自己所行却和别人一样。我们知道这样行的人、神必照真理审判他。你这人哪、你论断行这样事的人、自己所行的却和别人一样、你以为能逃脱神的审判么。

Therefore you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practice the same things. We know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things. Do you think this, O man who judges those who practice such things, and do the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?

主耶稣！我晓得神的法则, 道德标准, 也晓得两种法码, 是神所憎恶的。主啊！我们虽然不认同同性恋的行为, 但是, 却拥有像他们一样的世属价值观, 体贴肉体的私欲, 

求主赦免。

6/7/2023 行这样事的人是当死的

罗1:26-28,32

因此神任凭他们放纵可羞耻的情欲．他们的女人、把顺性的用处、变为逆性的用处．男人也是如此、弃了女人顺性的用处、欲火攻心、彼此贪恋、男和男行可羞耻的事、就在自己身上受这妄为当得的报应。...他们虽知道神判定、行这样事的人是当死的、然而他们不但自己去行、还喜欢别人去行。

For this reason, God gave them up to vile passions. For their women changed the natural function into that which is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural function of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another, men doing what is inappropriate with men, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error....who, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also approve of those who practice them.

主耶稣！这是罪恶泛滥的时代, 国家政府晓得LGBTQ 是破坏家庭, 毁灭人类, 仍然让LGBTQ 同性合法化, 商业化, 政治化。主啊！我们祈求圣灵, 唤醒教会, 祈求圣灵感动主的教会, 门徒同心起来祷告, 奉主耶稣基督的名, 败坏魔鬼撒旦的计谋, 败坏魔鬼撒旦所使用的人。

5/7/2023 神任凭他们

罗1:24-25

所以神任凭他们、逞着心里的情欲行污秽的事、以致彼此玷辱自己的身体。他们将神的真实变为虚谎、去敬拜事奉受造之物、不敬奉那造物的主．主乃是可称颂的、直到永远。阿们。

Therefore God also gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

主耶稣！我看见, 神任凭世人去敬拜事奉受造之物。主啊！我祈求神, 我若有软弱的时候, 犯了亏欠神荣耀的思维, 求神管教我, 不要任凭我继续的犯错。

4/7/2023 无知的心

罗1:21-23

因为他们虽然知道神、却不当作　神荣耀他、也不感谢他．他们的思念变为虚妄、无知的心就昏暗了．自称为聪明、反成了愚拙、将不能朽坏之神的荣耀、变为偶像、彷佛必朽坏的人、和飞禽走兽昆虫的样式。

Because, knowing God, they didn't glorify him as God, neither gave thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and traded the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed animals, and creeping things.

主耶稣！我自问, 我知道神什么？我有无知的心吗？主啊！有可能, 事工, 职务上的身份, 金钱, 嗜好, 康乐, 饮食, 仰慕的人, 这些东西已经成了我的偶像, 我不能放下, 求主拯救我, 光照我无知的心, 叫我在凡事上, 都有智慧, 把更多的思想, 放在荣耀神的名, 以父神的事为念。

2/7/2023 我不以福音为耻

罗1:16

我不以福音为耻．这福音本是神的大能、要救一切相信的、先是犹太人、后是希利尼人。

For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Christ, for it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes; for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.

主耶稣！福音本是神的大能, 要救一切相信的。因这句话, 我们感到何等的蒙恩蒙福。主啊！原来, 传福音仍是我们见证荣耀神的事, 是我的荣耀, 我不以福音为耻, 不再害怕向人传福音。

1/7/2023 属灵的恩赐

罗1:10-12

在祷告之间、常常恳求、或者照　神的旨意、终能得平坦的道路往你们那里去。因为我切切的想见你们、要把些属灵的恩赐分给你们、使你们可以坚固．这样我在你们中间、因你与我彼此的信心、就可以同得安慰。

requesting, if by any means now at last I may be prospered by the will of God to come to you. For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end that you may be established; that is, that I with you may be encouraged in you, each of us by the other's faith, both yours and mine.

主耶稣！我看见使徒保罗, 心里常挂念门徒, 要把些属灵的恩赐分给他们。主啊！神已经将属灵的恩赐赐给教会的长老, 求圣灵感动教会的长老, 有信心把他们所领受的属灵的恩赐, 分给信徒, 彼此的信心, 同得安慰。
