(12-11) 羅 Romans 11:33-36; 12:1-2

和合本NKJV
33 深哉, 神豐富的智慧和知識!祂的判斷何其難測!祂的蹤跡何其難尋!

34 誰知道主的心?誰作過祂的謀士呢?

35 誰是先給了祂,使祂後來償還呢?

36 因為萬有都是本於祂,倚靠祂,歸於祂。願榮耀歸給祂,直到永遠。阿們!
33 Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!

34 “For who has known the mind of the LORD?
      Or who has become His counselor?”

35 “Or who has first given to Him
      And it shall be repaid to him?”

36 For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen.
1 所以弟兄們,我以 神的慈悲勸你們,將身體獻上,當作活祭,是聖潔的,是 神所喜悅的;你們如此侍奉,乃是理所當然的。

2 不要效法這個世界,只要心意更新而變化,叫你們察驗何為 神的善良、純全、可喜悅的旨意。
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.


For who has known the mind of the LORD?
羅 Romans 12:2 不要效法這個世界,只要心意更新而變化,叫你們察驗何為 神的善良、純全、可喜悅的旨意。 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

這段經文是羅馬書的一個高峰。保羅探討完神如何使祂的救恩從以色列人臨到外邦人,最後以色列全家都要得救,不禁感嘆神的智慧和知識豐富莫測,向神發出由衷的讚美。向著這位至高的神,將我們自己的身心獻上,為祂所使用,是理所當然的。讚美神,祂的道路高過我們的道路,祂的意念高過我們的意念,沒有人有資格指點祂甚麼;讚美神,祂是全有、全足、全豐的神,祂不虧欠任何人,我們所有的都出自祂白白的恩典;讚美神,祂是阿拉法,凡被造的沒有一樣不是藉著祂造的;讚美神,祂是俄梅嘎,在日期滿足的時候,天上地下一切所有的,都要在基督裡面同歸於一;讚美祂,萬物都倚靠祂,因祂常用祂全能的命令托住萬有;讚美神,願榮耀歸給他,直到永遠。阿門!This scripture is an apex of Romans. After Paul discussed how God made His salvation available from the Israelites to the Gentiles, and finally all Israel will be saved, he cannot help but to exclaim that the wisdom and knowledge of God is so rich and unsearchable, therefore he offered heartfelt praise to God. Towards God the Most High, it is reasonable for us to present our hearts and bodies for Him to use. Praise God, His ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts than our thoughts, nobody is qualified to offer Him any counseling; praise God, He is an all-sufficient God, He owes nobody, and all that we have originates from His freely given grace; praise God, He is alpha, without Him nothing was made that has been made; praise God, He is omega, when the times will have reached their fulfillment, He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth - in Him; praise God, through Him are all things, for He upholds all things by the word of His power; praise God, to whom be glory forever. Amen.
