保罗在书信的结尾,再次把荣耀归给神,使我们的眼目注视神自己:Paul, at the end of his epistle, once again gives glory to God, directing our eyes to God Himself: 惟有神能!惟有神能坚固我们的心!在神凡事都能!无论我们有多大的软弱,当我们谦卑承认自己的不能,来到施恩座前仰望耶稣,神能使软弱的变刚强!Only God is able! Only God can strengthen our hearts! With God, all things are possible! No matter how great our weakness is, when we humbly confess our inability and come before the throne of grace, looking to Jesus, God is able to make the weak strong!天下人间没有赐下别的名,我们可以靠着得救,惟靠耶稣的名!There is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved—only the name of Jesus!
福音的中心就是耶稣基督。我们得以刚强站立,不是靠人的口才、知识和能力,而是因着福音的大能,因着对耶稣和祂应许的信心。The center of the gospel is Jesus Christ. We are able to stand strong not by human eloquence, knowledge, or ability, but by the power of the gospel and by faith in Jesus and His promises. 永古隐藏不言的奥秘,在以前的世代没有叫人知道,如今借着圣灵的启示显明出来。这奥秘就是外邦人在基督耶稣里,借着福音,得以同为后嗣,同为一体,同蒙应许。This mystery is that the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.
初代教会在各样的逼迫、患难、试炼中,因着对耶稣的信而坚固不动摇。The early church stood firm and unshaken through all kinds of persecution, suffering, and trials because of their faith in Jesus. 主啊,感谢赞美你,因着耶稣的死和复活,救恩临到万民。我们原本与诸约无份,活在咒诅和黑暗中,没有指望。Lord, we thank and praise You—for through the death and resurrection of Jesus, salvation has come to all people. We were once without part in the covenants, living under curse and in darkness, without hope. 如今因着耶稣拣选的恩典,我们不再是孤儿,因此呼求“阿爸父”,我们不再属于自己,而是属神的。But now, by the grace of Jesus’ choosing, we are no longer orphans, and so we cry out, “Abba, Father.” We no longer belong to ourselves—we belong to God.
主,惟有你是我们的救主,帮助我们定睛耶稣,靠着圣灵大有盼望,使我们里面的力量刚强起来,Lord, only You are our Savior. Help us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus and, by the power of the Holy Spirit, fill us with great hope so that the strength within us is fortified. 不再惧怕难处和困境,迎接每一个考试,单单为你而活,信心加增,更加坚定,May we no longer fear hardships or challenges, but face every trial with determination—living solely for You, with our faith increasing and growing ever more steadfast. 活出耶稣的生命,见证这福音的大能,使万国的民也来信服真道,使荣耀颂赞归于神,直到永远!Enable us to live out the life of Jesus and to testify to the great power of the gospel, so that people from every nation may come to embrace the true way. All glory and praise be to God, forever(付传道Pastor Fu).
