綱要:

Outline:

A.                效法基督

A.                  Imitate Christ

1.      捨己的愛

1.       A sacrificial love

·         25你們作丈夫的,要愛你們的妻子,正如基督愛教會,為教會捨己。

·         “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her” (Eph 5:25)

2.                  成全的愛、不住增長的愛

2.                   A perfecting love that grows continually

·         26 要用水藉著道把教會洗淨,成為聖潔, 27 可以獻給自己,作個榮耀的教會,毫無玷污、皺紋等類的病,乃是聖潔沒有瑕疵的。 28 丈夫也當照樣愛妻子…(5: 26-28)

·         “That He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word,  that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.  So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself.” (Eph 5: 26-28)

3.                  最真、最自然的愛,也是最智慧的開啟與出路

3.                   A Love that is most genuine and natural and also the wisest understanding and way out

·         28 丈夫也當照樣愛妻子,如同愛自己的身子;愛妻子便是愛自己了。 29 從來沒有人恨惡自己的身子,總是保養顧惜,正像基督待教會一樣, 30 因我們是他身上的肢體(有古卷加:就是他的骨他的肉)。(5: 28-30)

·         “So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself.  For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones.” (Eph 5:28-30)

 

·         22 耶和華 神就用那人身上所取的肋骨造成一個女人,領她到那人跟前。 23 那人說:這是我骨中的骨,肉中的肉,可以稱她為「女人」,因為她是從「男人」身上取出來的。 24 因此,人要離開父母,與妻子連合,二人成為一體。 (2:22-24)

·         Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.  And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.”  Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. (Gen 2:22-24)

 

B.     接受妻子幫助,一同承受生命之恩

B.                  Receiving the help of your wife and being heirs together of the grace of life

·         18 耶和華 神說:「那人獨居不好,我要為他造一個配偶幫助他。」(2:18)

·         And the Lord God said, “It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.” (Gen 2:18)

·         7 你們作丈夫的也要按情理和妻子同住;因她比你軟弱(比你軟弱:原文作是軟弱的器皿),與你一同承受生命之恩的,所以要敬重她。這樣,便叫你們的禱告沒有阻礙。(彼前3:7)

·         Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered. (1 Pet 3:7)
