1:1 為基督耶穌被囚的保羅,同兄弟提摩太寫信給我們所親愛的同工腓利門, Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, To Philemon our dear friend and fellow worker,
1:2 和妹子亞腓亞並與我們同當兵的亞基布,以及在你家的教會。 to Apphia our sister, to Archippus our fellow soldier and to the church that meets in your home: 1:3 願恩惠、平安從 神我們的父和主耶穌基督歸與你們! Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 1:4 我禱告的時候提到你,常為你感謝我的 神; I always thank my God as I remember you in my prayers, 1:5 因聽說你的愛心並你向主耶穌和眾聖徒的信心〔或譯:因聽說你向主耶穌和眾聖徒有愛心有信心〕。 because I hear about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints. 1:6 願你與人所同有的信心顯出功效,使人知道你們各樣善事都是為基督做的。 I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ. 1:7 兄弟啊,我為你的愛心,大有快樂,大得安慰,因眾聖徒的心從你得了暢快。 Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the saints. 1:8 我雖然靠著基督能放膽吩咐你合宜的事; Therefore, although in Christ I could be bold and order you to do what you ought to do, 1:9 然而像我這有年紀的保羅,現在又是為基督耶穌被囚的,寧可憑著愛心求你, yet I appeal to you on the basis of love. I then, as Paul--an old man and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus-- 1:10 就是為我在捆鎖中所生的兒子阿尼西謀〔就是有益處的意思〕求你。 0 I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, (\f1 10 |iOnesimus|d means|i useful.|d) who became my son while I was in chains. 1:11 他從前與你沒有益處,但如今與你我都有益處。 Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me. 1:12 我現在打發他親自回你那裏去,他是我心上的人。 I am sending him--who is my very heart--back to you. 1:13 我本來有意將他留下,在我為福音所的捆鎖中替你伺候我。 I would have liked to keep him with me so that he could take your place in helping me while I am in chains for the gospel. 1:14 但不知道你的意思,我就不願意這樣行,叫你的善行不是出於勉強,乃是出於甘心。 But I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that any favor you do will be spontaneous and not forced. 1:15 他暫時離開你,或者是叫你永遠得著他, Perhaps the reason he was separated from you for a little while was that you might have him back for good-- 1:16 不再是奴僕,乃是高過奴僕,是親愛的兄弟。在我實在是如此,何況在你呢!這也不拘是按肉體說,是按主說, no longer as a slave, but better than a slave, as a dear brother. He is very dear to me but even dearer to you, both as a man and as a brother in the Lord. 1:17 你若以我為同伴,就收納他,如同收納我一樣。 So if you consider me a partner, welcome him as you would welcome me. 1:18 他若虧負你,或欠你甚麼,都歸在我的帳上, If he has done you any wrong or owes you anything, charge it to me. 1:19 我必償還。這是我保羅親筆寫的。我並不用對你說,連你自己也是虧欠於我。 I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand. I will pay it back--not to mention that you owe me your very self. 1:20 兄弟啊,望你使我在主裏因你得快樂〔或譯:益處〕並望你使我的心在基督裏得暢快。 I do wish, brother, that I may have some benefit from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in Christ. 1:21 我寫信給你,深信你必順服,知道你所要行的,必過於我所說的。 Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I ask. 1:22 此外你還要給我預備住處;因為我盼望藉著你們的禱告,必蒙恩到你們那裏去。 And one thing more: Prepare a guest room for me, because I hope to be restored to you in answer to your prayers. 1:23 為基督耶穌與我同坐監的以巴弗問你安。 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you greetings. 1:24 與我同工的馬可、亞里達古、底馬、路加、也都問你安。 And so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas and Luke, my fellow workers. 1:25 願我們主耶穌基督的恩常在你的心裏。阿們! The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

荒漠甘泉五合一「我父所給我那杯,我豈可不喝呢?」約翰福音十八章11節 親愛的讀者,你可知道說這句話,比平靜風和海、叫死人復活更偉大嗎?先知和使徒能行許多神蹟奇事,卻不能事事遵行忍受神的旨意。遵行忍受神的旨意是信心的最高點,是基督人所能作到的最高一點。有時候你光明的希望遭了永久的毀滅;每天所背負的重擔永得不著輕減;當你渴望有充足的財力能使所愛的人過些幸福舒適的生活時,反遭到了貧窮拮据;或者竟被身體上不治的病症捆鎖拘禁在病榻上;赤裸裸地被剝奪了一切所愛的人們,剩下你獨自一人孤孤單單地去抵禦一切外來的襲擊─—在這種試煉之下,你依然能說:「我父所給我的那杯,我豈可不喝呢?」─這就是最高點的信心!這就是最高點屬靈的成功!最大的信心不是在行為上呈露出來的,乃是在忍受上呈露出來的。 ─巴克赫特 要有一個同情的神,必須先有一個受苦的主;一個沒有嘗過同樣痛苦的心,對於別人不會發生真實的同情。 我們自己不出代價,就不能幫助別人;我們的痛苦就是我們所付的代價,叫我們以後能同情於他人的難堪。要作一個幫助人的人,必須先作一個受苦的人。要作一個救人的人,必須先經過十字架的對付;我們若不喝主所喝的杯,受主所受的苦,就不能享受救助人的那種人生最高的喜樂。 大衛的詩篇中最能安慰人的幾篇,乃是在苦難中壓出來的;如果保羅沒有一根刺加在他肉體上,在他許多的書信上一定會失去多少溫柔! 親愛的讀者,你現在受壓的環境,就是父神手裏用以雕製你的一件最合式的工具。不要去推開祂─恐怕你一動,就會弄壞了父的工作呢! 這遭遇, 我們也許發現它, 艱辛而又奇酷, 但隱伏在它的後面, 卻有我們所需的幸福。 受苦的學校,訓練出優秀的學者來。
