(12-25) 西 Colossians 1:12-22

和合本NKJV
12 又感謝父,叫我們能與眾聖徒在光明中同得基業。

13 祂救了我們脫離黑暗的權勢,把我們遷到祂愛子的國裏;

14 我們在愛子裏得蒙救贖,罪過得以赦免。

15 愛子是那不能看見之 神的像,是首生的,在一切被造的以先。

16 因為萬有都是靠祂造的,無論是天上的、地上的、能看見的、不能看見的,或是有位的、主治的、執政的、掌權的,一概都是藉著祂造的,又是為祂造的。

17 祂在萬有之先,萬有也靠祂而立。

18 祂也是教會全體之首,祂是元始,是從死裏首先復生的,使祂可以在凡事上居首位。

19 因為父喜歡叫一切的豐盛在祂裏面居住。

20 既然藉著祂在十字架上所流的血成就了和平,便藉著祂叫萬有,無論是地上的、天上的,都與自己和好了。

21 你們從前與 神隔絕,因著惡行,心裏與祂為敵;

22 但如今祂藉著基督的肉身受死,叫你們與自己和好,都成了聖潔,沒有瑕疵,無可責備,把你們引到自己面前。
12 giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.

13 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,

14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.

15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.

16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.

17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

18 And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.

19 For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell,

20 and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.

21 And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled

22 in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight -


He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love.

基督是神一切旨意的中心!基督是創造的主,因為萬有都是靠祂造的,藉著祂造的,又是為祂造的,也靠祂而立。基督是教會的主,是教會全體之首,在凡事上居首位。基督是拯救的主,我們在祂裏得蒙救贖,罪過得以赦免,遷到祂的國裏,並與萬物一同在祂裏面與神和好。讚美神,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。讚美神,神將萬有服在基督的腳下,使基督為教會作萬有之首;教會是基督的身體,是那充滿萬有者所充滿的。讚美神,我們藉愛子的血得蒙救贖,過犯得以赦免;藉著祂的死得與神和好,既已和好,就更要因祂的生得救了。讚美神,在日期滿足的時候,天上地上一切所有的,都在基督裏面同歸於一;我們也在祂裏面得了基業!親愛的弟兄姐妹們,我們教會2015年的主題是『基督是一切,又在一切之內』,藉著聖靈的幫助,讓我們一起來真知道祂,並好好操練住在基督裏!Christ is the center of all of God's will! Christ is the Lord of creation, for all things are created by Him, through Him and for Him; and in Him all things consist. Christ is the Lord of the church, is head of the body, the church, that in all things He has the preeminence. Christ is the Lord of salvation, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, the conveyance into His kingdom, and in whom we were reconciled to Himself together with all things. Praise God, for of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Praise God, who put all things under Christ's feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. Praise God, in the Beloved we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins; we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, and having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. Praise God, at the fullness of the times He gathers together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth - in Him; in Him also we have obtained an inheritance! Dear brothers and sisters, the theme for our church in 2015 is "Christ is all and in all". With the help of the Holy Spirit, let us truly know Him together, and truly practice abiding in Christ!
