為何而活? What to Live For?
歌羅西書第二章1 ~ 5節 Colossians 2:1-5
1.我願意你們曉得,我為你們和老底嘉人,並一切沒有與我親自見面的人,
是何等的盡心竭力;
I want you to know how much I am struggling for you and for those
at Laodicea,and for all who have not met me personally.
2.要叫他們的心得安慰,因愛心互相聯絡,以致豐豐足足在悟性中有充足的
信心,使他們真知神的奧祕,就是基督;
My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in
love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding,
in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ,
3.所積蓄的一切智慧知識,都在他裡面藏著。
in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4.我說這話,免得有人用花言巧語迷惑你們。
I tell you this so that no one may deceive you by fine-sounding
arguments.
5.我身子雖與你們相離,心卻與你們同在,見你們循規蹈矩,信基督的心也堅固,
我就歡喜了。
For though I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in
spirit and delight
to see how orderly you are and how firm your faith
in Christ is.
