本日經文提要 ( 彼得前書 4:1~5:14)
彼前4:1基督既在肉身受苦，你們也當將這樣的心志作為兵器，因為在肉身受過苦的，就已經與罪繼絕了。
彼前4:2你們存這樣的心，從今以後，就可以不從人的情慾，只從神的旨意，在世度餘下的光陰。
彼前4:3因為往日隨從外邦人的心意，行邪淫，惡慾，醉酒，荒宴，群飲，並可惡拜偶像的事，時候已經夠了。
彼前4:4他們在這些事上，見你們不與他們同奔那放蕩無度的路，就以為怪，毀謗你們。
彼前4:5他們必在那將要審判活人死人的主面前交賬。
彼前4:6為此，就是死人也曾有福音傳給他們，要叫他們的肉體按著人受審判，他們的靈性卻靠神活著。
彼前4:7萬物的結局近了，所以你們要謹慎自守，儆醒禱告。
彼前4:8最要緊的是彼此切實相愛，因為愛能遮掩許多的罪。
彼前4:9你們要互相款待，不發怨言。
彼前4:10各人要照所得的恩賜彼此服事，作神百般恩賜的好管家。
彼前4:11若有講道的，要按著神的聖言講，若有服事人的，要按著神所賜的力量服事，叫神在凡事上因耶穌基督得榮耀，原來榮耀權能都是他的，直到永永遠遠。阿們。
彼前4:12親愛的弟兄阿，有火煉的試驗臨到你們，不要以為奇怪，（似乎是遭遇非常的事）
彼前4:13倒要歡喜，因為你們是與基督一同受苦，使你們在他榮耀顯現的時候，也可以歡喜快樂。
彼前4:14你們若是為基督的名受辱罵，便是有福的，因為神榮耀的靈，常住在你們身上。
彼前4:15你們中間卻不可有人，因為殺人，偷竊，作惡，好管閒事而受苦。
彼前4:16若為作基督徒受苦，卻不要羞恥，倒要因這名歸榮耀給神。
彼前4:17因為時候到了，審判要從神的家起首，若是先從我們起首，那不信從神福音的人，將有何等的結局呢。
彼前4:18若是義人僅僅得救，那不虔敬和犯罪的人，將有何地可站呢。
彼前4:19所以那照神旨意受苦的人，要一心為善，將自己靈魂交與那信實的造化之主。
彼前5:1我這作長老，作基督受苦的見證，同享後來所要顯現之榮耀的，勸你們中間與我同作長老的人。
彼前5:2務要牧養在你們中間神的群羊，按著神旨意照管他們，不是出於勉強，乃是出於甘心，也不是因為貪財，乃是出於樂意。
彼前5:3也不是轄制所託付你們的，乃是作群羊的榜樣。
彼前5:4到了牧長顯現的時候，你們必得那永不衰殘的榮耀冠冕。
彼前5:5你們年幼的，也要順服年長的。就是你們眾人，也都要以謙卑束腰，彼此順服，因為神阻擋驕傲的人，賜恩給謙卑的人。
彼前5:6所以你們要自卑，服在神大能的手下，到了時候他必叫你們升高。
彼前5:7你們要將一切的憂慮卸給神，因為他顧念你們。
彼前5:8務要謹守，儆醒，因為你們的仇敵魔鬼，如同吼叫的獅子，遍地游行，尋找可吞吃的人。
彼前5:9你們要用堅固的信心抵擋他，因為知道你們在世上的眾弟兄，也是經歷這樣的苦難。
彼前5:10那賜諸般恩典的神，曾在基督裡召你們，得享他永遠的榮耀，等你們暫受苦難之後，必要親自成全你們，堅固你們，賜力量給你們。
彼前5:11願權能歸給他，直到永永遠遠。阿們。
彼前5:12我略略的寫了這信，託我所看為忠心的兄弟西拉轉交你們，勸勉你們，又證明這恩是神的真恩，你們務要在這恩上站立得住。
彼前5:13在巴比倫與你們同蒙揀選的教會問你們安，我兒子馬可也問你們安。
彼前5:14你們要用愛心彼此親嘴問安。願平安歸與你們凡在基督裡的人。
DEC 25 ,2019-The Journey of Grace (329/365) 1Pe 4:1~5:14
1 Peter 4
Living for God
4 Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin. 2 As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God. 3 For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do—living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry. 4 They are surprised that you do not join them in their reckless, wild living, and they heap abuse on you. 5 But they will have to give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. 6 For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged according to human standards in regard to the body, but live according to God in regard to the spirit.
7 The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray. 8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 9 Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. 10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. 11 If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
Suffering for Being a Christian
12 Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. 13 But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. 14 If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. 15 If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler. 16 However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name. 17 For it is time for judgment to begin with God’s household; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God? 18 And,
“If it is hard for the righteous to be saved,
what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”[a]
19 So then, those who suffer according to God’s will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.
1 Peter 5
To the Elders and the Flock
5 To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder and a witness of Christ’s sufferings who also will share in the glory to be revealed: 2 Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over them—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve; 3 not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. 4 And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.
5 In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,
“God opposes the proud
but shows favor to the humble.”[a]
6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9 Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
10 And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. 11 To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.
Final Greetings
12 With the help of Silas,[b] whom I regard as a faithful brother, I have written to you briefly, encouraging you and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand fast in it.
13 She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you her greetings, and so does my son Mark. 14 Greet one another with a kiss of love.
Peace to all of you who are in Christ.
