1)保羅稱讚腓立比信徒們的愛心

            Paul commended the love of Philippian saints

 

 14 然而,你們和我同受患難原是美事。15 腓立比人哪,你們也知道我初傳福音離了馬其頓的時候,論到授受的事,除了你們以外,並沒有別的教會供給我 16 就是我在帖撒羅尼迦,你們也一次兩次地打發人供給我的需用 17 我並不求甚麼餽送,所求的就是你們的果子漸漸增多,歸在你們的帳上 18 但我樣樣都有,並且有餘。我已經充足,因我從以巴弗提受了你們的餽送,當作極美的香氣,為 神所收納、所喜悅的祭物(V14-18)

14 Nevertheless you have done well that you shared in my distress.15 Now you Philippians know also that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church shared with me concerning giving and receiving but you only. 16 For even in Thessalonica you sent aid once and again for my necessities. 17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that abounds to your account.18 Indeed I have all and abound. I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things sent from you, a sweet-smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God.

 

a. 與保羅同受患難 (V14)

They shared in PaulŐs distress (v14)

 

b. 供應保羅的需要 (V15-16)

They provided for PaulŐs needs (v15-16)

 

c. 保羅所求的並非什麼餽送,乃是他們能結果更多 (V17)

Paul was not seeking the gift, but that their fruit would abound (v17)

 

d. 保羅以他們的餽送當作極美的香氣,為 神所收納、喜悅之祭物 (V18)

Paul regarded their gift a sweet-smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God (v18)

 

2) 保羅深信 神也必會豐富的供應他們

Paul was deeply convinced that God would also richly supply all their needs.

19我的 神必照祂榮耀的豐富,在基督耶穌裡,使你們一切所需用的都充足20 願榮耀歸給我們的父神,直到永永遠遠。阿們  (V19-20)

- 19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.20 Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen. (v19-20)

 

3)結語問安與祝福

            Closing - Greeting and benediction

 

21 請問在基督耶穌裏的各位聖徒安。在我這裏的眾弟兄都問你們安 22 眾聖徒都問你們安。在凱撒家裏的人特特地問你們安 23 願主耶穌基督的恩 常在你們心裏 (v21-23)

21 Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me greet you. 22 All the saints greet you, but especially those who are of CaesarŐs household. 23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. (v21-23)
