b.你们要靠着主,倚赖他的大能大力,作刚强的人:从字面意思来说,保罗所写的是,“你们要在主里坚固自己”。他可能借用了撒母耳记上30章6节中的概念——“大卫却倚靠耶和华他的神,心里坚固”。 i.关于属灵争战,这段经文给出了详细的教导,展现了两个基本要素。首先,你要靠着主,倚赖他的大能大力,作刚强的人。
b. We have spoken openly to you, our heart is wide open: Paul is practicing what he preached in Ephesians 4:15: speaking the truth in love. He genuinely loved the Corinthians with an open heart, yet he would also speak openly to them. c. You are not restricted by us, but you are...
c.The god of this age: The titlegod of this ageis not used of Satan anywhere else in Scripture, but the thought is expressed in passages likeJohn 12:31,John 14:30,Ephesians 2:2,Ephesians 6:12and1 John 5:19. i. There is a significant and real sense in which Satan “rules” this...
i.‘右边’是友谊、尊荣、信任和权柄之位”(克拉克,Clarke)。 c.远超过一切执政的、掌权的、有能的、主治的:从以弗所书的其他章节中(弗3:10;6:12),我们知道这里指的是天使,既包括忠于神的天使,也包括叛逆神的危险天使。我们不能完全明白天使世界的级别,但我们确实知道,神使耶稣复活兴起,超过一切天使。“虽然...
“the Queen of the Epistles,”“the quintessence of Paulinism,”“the divinest composition of man” and even “the Waterloo of commentators.” Some say that Ephesians reads “like a commentary on the Pauline letters” and probably it has been best termed “the crown of Paulinism.” (Bruce)...
“你们,是最圣洁的以弗所教会的成员,这教会声名在外,闻名于世……你们,被圣灵充满,没有随从肉体行事,而是凡事顺从圣灵行事。你们在基督耶稣里成为完全。”(《伊格那修写给以弗所信徒的书信》【Epistle of Ignatius to the Ephesians】,第8章。摘自《安特尼西亚教父》【Ante Nicean Fathers】第1卷,第52页)...
i. When one compares this description of spiritual armor with that found in Ephesians 6, there is not an exact correlation. This indicates that Paul saw the idea of spiritual armor as a helpful picture, not something rigid in its particular details. ii. Faith and love are represented by the...
a.所以:在此,保罗总结了以弗所书第4章的思想,他阐述了基督徒应怎样彼此相待。 b.你们该效法神:这里的意思简单明了——我们要以神为我们的榜样和模范。我们不能拿自己与人比较,然后感到自满。我们要留心彼得前书1章15-16节中的教导:那召你们的既是圣洁,你们在一切所行的事上也要圣洁。因为经上记着说:“...
Holiness is part of the new man we are in Jesus (Ephesians 4:24), and we are invited to be partakers – sharers of Jesus’ holiness (Hebrews 12:10). ii. Though God is holy, though He is apart from us, instead of building a wall around His apartness, God calls us to come to ...
He is the object of faith as well as the source of faith (Ephesians 2:8). c. There was light: Genesis tells us that light, day, and night each existed before the sun and the moon were created on the fourth day (Genesis 1:14-19). This shows us that light is more than a ...
