i.以弗所书5章8-12节中描述的“暗昧无益的事”,基督徒不可参与,并要揭露出来。这个命令是有原因的。既然暗昧无益的事最终必被揭露出来,其横行的日子必要结束;那基督徒远避这种无益的事,是明智合理的。 b.你这睡着的人当醒过来,从死里复活:通过我们与耶稣一同复活,显明我们与光有分,且行在其中(祂叫我们...
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...
the old man and to put on the new man which was created according to God, in righteousness and true holiness (Ephesians 4:22-24). i. Being a new creation is a gift from God received by faith. “God is surely the author of the second creation as he was of the first.” (Harris)...
d.养育他们:最初,这个古希腊词语用来表示身体的保养,正如以弗所书5章29节。不过,这个词语逐渐用来表示身、心、灵的保养。这里的词式说明“通过关爱与辛劳而发展”,或者像加尔文翻译的那样,“愿他们得到慈爱温情地呵护”。 3.(5-8)雇员怎样行在光明中:要像基督的仆人一样做工。 你们作仆人的,要惧怕战兢,用诚...
ii.神拣选人的缘由,并非反复无常,也不是偶然事件。虽然这些缘由过于我们所能测度的,但我们知道它们尽善尽美,充满智慧。不过,这些缘由皆取决于祂,而非我们。祂的拣选是,“按着自己意旨所喜悦的”(弗1:5)。 iii.我们是在基督里蒙拣选。“因为,我们若是在基督里蒙拣选,这事就不是凭着我们自己而成。不是因我们看...
2.(5-7)神在过去、现在、将来的,与人和好之工。 当我们死在过犯中的时候,便叫我们与基督一同活过来(你们得救是本乎恩)。他又叫我们与基督耶稣一同复活,一同坐在天上,要将他极丰富的恩典,就是他在基督耶稣里向我们所施的恩慈,显明给后来的世代看。
ii. We see alsothe end intended by the Lord, speaking of the ultimate goal and purpose of God in allowing the suffering to come upon Job. Perhaps the greatestend intended by the Lordwas to use Job as a lesson to angelic beings, even as God promises to use the church (Ephesians 3:10...
“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)...
1.(1-5)神奥秘启示之序言 因此,我保罗为你们外邦人作了基督耶稣被囚的,替你们祈祷(注:此句乃照对14节所加)。谅必你们曾听见神赐恩给我,将关切你们的职分托付我,用启示使我知道福音的奥秘,正如我以前略略写过的。你们念了,就能晓得我深知基督的奥秘,这奥秘在以前的世代没有叫人知道,像如今藉着圣灵启示他...
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...
