|
2:1
|
我愿意你們知道、我為你們和那些在老底嘉的、跟所有在肉身上沒有見過我面的人、是有多么大的奮斗﹔
|
|
|
For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
|
|
2:2
|
好叫他們的心得了鼓勵，他們能本著愛心而彼此聯結，可以得到領悟上的確信一切的丰富，能夠認識上帝的奧秘、就是基督本身。
|
|
|
That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
|
|
2:3
|
在基督里面乃包蘊著一切智慧知識之寶藏。
|
|
|
In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
|
|
2:4
|
我說這話，免得有人用花言巧語迷惑你們。
|
|
|
And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
|
|
2:5
|
我肉身雖和你們相離，心靈卻和你們同在，歡歡喜喜看見你們齊整的行伍、和你們對于信基督所表現的堅固陣線。
|
|
|
For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
|
|
2:6
|
所以你們既領受了基督耶穌為主，就該聯合于他而行，
|
|
|
As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
|
|
2:7
|
在他里面扎了根，而建造起來，在你們所受教的信仰上堅固（或譯『因著信仰而堅固，照你們所教的』），有滿溢的感謝心。
|
|
|
Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
|
|
2:8
|
你們要謹慎，恐怕有人藉著虛空而誘惑人的『哲學』、照人的傳統教訓、根據世界所信的星質之靈（或譯『自然界原質』﹔或譯『世俗初淺的宗教觀』），而不根據基督、把你們擄了去做奴仆。
|
|
|
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
|
|
2:9
|
因為神格之無限完全是以『身體』之形態居住在基督里面的﹔
|
|
|
For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
|
|
2:10
|
你們也是在他里面得完全的。他是各『執政的』各『掌權的』的元首。
|
|
|
And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
|
|
2:11
|
在他里面你們也藉著非人手行的割禮、由脫掉屬肉之身體的割禮、基督式的割禮、而受了割禮。
|
|
|
In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
|
|
2:12
|
在洗禮之中和他一同埋葬，也在洗禮之中憑著信心和他一同活起來︰信上帝之運用動力、叫基督從死人中活起來的。
|
|
|
Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
|
|
2:13
|
你們從前雖由于過犯和肉身之沒受割禮而死，上帝卻叫你們和基督同活，饒恕了我們一切的過犯﹔
|
|
|
And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
|
|
2:14
|
擦掉了簽訂在規例中、攻擊我們、跟我們為敵的文件﹔從我們中間把它除去，釘在十字架上。
|
|
|
Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
|
|
2:15
|
他既解除了『各執政的』『各掌權的』的權勢，便把他們公然示眾，仗著十字架（或譯『仗著他』）而得勝，帶領他們做俘虜于凱旋的行列中。
|
|
|
And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
|
|
2:16
|
所以別在吃喝上、或年節月初一安息日的方面上、讓人論斷你們了。
|
|
|
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
|
|
2:17
|
這一些原是以后之事的影兒，真體乃是屬基督的。
|
|
|
Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
|
|
2:18
|
別讓人因樂于卑抑自己和拜天使的事而斷你們為不應得獎賞的了。這種人根據所見過的幻象（或譯『入了所見過的異教之門』）、隨著自己肉欲之心思、徒然自吹自大，
|
|
|
Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
|
|
2:19
|
不緊聯著那頭﹔然而是從這頭、全身體才藉著關節和筋絡而得供應、彼此聯結、以上帝所賜的長大而長大的。
|
|
|
And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.
|
|
2:20
|
你們既和基督一同死了，脫離了世界所信的星質之靈，為什么還在世俗中活著，而去服從那『不可摸！不可嘗！不可觸！』的規例，
|
|
|
Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
|
|
2:21
|
not available
|
|
|
(Touch not; taste not; handle not;
|
|
2:22
|
﹝而規例中所指的又都是以沿用而至于敗壞的東西﹞隨著人的誡律和教條呢？
|
|
|
Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
|
|
2:23
|
這種規例、于牽強的崇拜和卑抑自己以及身體之刻苦、徒有智慧之名，在克制肉體之放縱上實毫無價值的。
|
|
|
Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.
|
