(12-5) 弗 Ephesians 6:10-17

和合本NKJV
10 我還有末了的話:你們要靠著主,依賴祂的大能大力,作剛強的人。

11 要穿戴 神所賜的全副軍裝,就能抵擋魔鬼的詭計。

12 因我們並不是與屬血氣的爭戰,乃是與那些執政的、掌權的、管轄這幽暗世界的,以及天空屬靈氣的惡魔爭戰(原文作:摔跤)。

13 所以,要拿起 神所賜的全副軍裝,好在磨難的日子抵擋仇敵,並且成就了一切,還能站立得住。

14 所以要站穩了,用真理當作帶子束腰,用公義當作護心鏡遮胸,

15 又用平安的福音當作預備走路的鞋穿在腳上。

16 此外,又拿着信德當作藤牌,可以滅盡那惡者一切的火箭;

17 並戴上救恩的頭盔,拿著聖靈的寶劍,就是 神的道。
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.

17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;


弗 Ephesians 6:11 要穿戴神所賜的全副軍裝,就能抵擋魔鬼的詭計。 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

許多弟兄姊妹都有這樣的經歷:一個人在掙扎要決志信主時、在受洗之前、在剛接重大服事後特別容易有不尋常的事情或意念發生,使我們分心,不能專注在神身上。這時務必要提醒自己,在這一切的事情背後有一場屬靈的爭戰。無論你是否準備好了,屬靈的爭戰都是十分真實的。可喜可賀的是,神已經應許我們必要得勝,而且神向我們的意念是好的,在這些患難、痛苦、憂鬱中必要成就祂的美意。我們只要抓住祂的應許,穿戴祂所賜的全副軍裝,就能抵擋魔鬼的詭計,並要領受神從上頭來的祝福!讚美神,祂的真理能裝備我們,使我們警醒,並約束我們的行為;讚美神,有神稱我們為義,又有誰能控告、攻擊我們呢?讚美神,祂平安的福音必要傳遍地極,讓我們能行在世上卻不屬於這個世界;讚美神,祂所賜的信心使我們即使在患難、逼迫中仍然能夠喜樂讚美神,並不疑惑;讚美神,祂所賜的救恩確鑿,沒有人能奪去,使我們能專心仰望神;讚美神,祂的道比兩刃的利劍更快,能辨明一切,又大有能力,必要成就神所命定的事!Many brothers and sisters have this experience: unusual things or thoughts often happen when one is struggling to accept Christ, or just before baptism, or immediately after accepting a major service. They cause us to be distracted, and prevent us from fixing our eyes on God. We should remind ourselves then, that behind all these things is a spiritual battle. No matter how you are prepared, spiritual battles are very real. Thankfully, God has already promised us victory. His thoughts toward us are good. He will accomplish His goodwill amid all these troubles, sufferings. and gloominess. We only need to hold on to His promise, and put on the whole armor of God, then we can stand against the wiles of the devil, and receive the blessings of God from above! Praise God, His truth equips us, that we are vigilant, and that our actions are being girdled; praise God, it is God who justifies, who can bring a charge against us or attack us? Praise God, His gospel of peace shall be preached to the ends of the world, that we may walk in this world yet do not belong to this world; praise God, the faith He gave us enables us to rejoice and praise God without doubt even in the midst of tribulations and persecutions; praise God, His salvation is firm and certain, nobody can snatch it away, so we can look upon God without distraction; praise God, His word is sharper than two-edged sword, can discern everything, and comes with great power to accomplish things He commanded!
