腓利門書

腓利門書
聖經閱讀：腓利門書1-25 現代中譯本|合和本
2014年10月14日(二)

腓利門書很短──只有25節，這卷書是保羅寫給一個名叫腓利門的基督徒的信。 　腓利門的僕人阿尼西謀逃走了，阿尼西謀跑去見保羅。當他跟保羅一起的時候，阿尼西謀成為基督徒，他也成為保羅的朋友和幫手。 　但現在是阿尼西謀回到他的主人腓利門家的時候了，所以保羅寫信告訴腓利門，阿尼西謀已經成為了基督徒。今天讀的經文的第17和18節，保羅告訴腓利門：「所以如果你把我當作親密的朋友，你就接他回去，像接納我一樣。要是他做了對不起你的事，或者虧欠了你甚麼，都記在我的帳上好了。」保羅希望腓利門原諒阿尼西謀並歡迎他回家。 　這本短短的書卷教導我們應該彼此代禱、鼓勵、寬恕和相愛。今天就祈求上帝幫助你做這些事情。 —GT 「親愛的弟兄啊，你的愛心給了我極大的喜樂和鼓勵；所有的信徒也因你而覺得愉快。」 腓利門書7 禱告：親愛的上帝，我愛祢並且願意向祢表達我的愛。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

Philemon
Bible Reading: Philemon 1-25
Tuesday, October 14, 2014

The book of Philemon is very short — it is only 25 verses. It is a letter that Paul wrote to a Christian man named Philemon. 　Philemon's servant, Onesimus, had run away. Onesimus went to see Paul. Onesimus became a Christian while he was staying with Paul. He also became Paul's friend and helper. 　But now it was time for Onesimus to go home to his master, Philemon. Paul wrote this letter to Philemon to tell him that Onesimus had become a Christian. In verses 17 and 18 of our Bible Reading Paul told Philemon, “If you accept me as your friend, then accept Onesimus back. Welcome him like you would welcome me. If he has done any wrong to you or owes you anything, charge it to me.” Paul wanted Philemon to forgive Onesimus and welcome him home. 　This short book teaches us that we should pray for, encourage, forgive and love each other. Ask God to help you do these things today. —GT “My brother, you have shown love to God's people, and your help has greatly encouraged them. What a joy and encouragement that has been to me.” Philemon 7 PRAYER: Dear God, I love You and want to show You my love. In Jesus' name. Amen.
