約翰福音 14:6
- 7
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him."
耶穌說「我就是道路、真理、生命;若不藉著我,沒有人能到父那裡去。
你們若認識我,也就認識我的父。從今以後,你們認識他,並且已經看見他。」
希伯來書 7:22
- 25
Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantor of a better covenant.
Now there have been many of those priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office;
but because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood.
Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.
既是起誓立的,耶穌就作了更美之約的中保。
那些成為祭司的,數目本來多,是因為有死阻隔,不能長久。
這位既是永遠常存的,他祭司的職任就長久不更換。
凡靠著他進到神面前的人,他都能拯救到底;因為他是長遠活著,替他們祈求。
彼得後書 1:3
His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.
神的神能已將一切關乎生命和虔敬的事賜給我們,皆因我們認識那用自己榮耀和美德召我們的主。
羅馬書 5:1
- 2
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God.
我們既因信稱義,就藉著我們的主耶穌基督得與神相和。
我們又藉著他,因信得進入現在所站的這恩典中,並且歡歡喜喜盼望神的榮耀。
哥林多後書 5:18
- 21
All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:
that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God.
God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
一切都是出於神;他藉著基督使我們與他和好,又將勸人與他和好的職分賜給我們。
這就是神在基督裡,叫世人與自己和好,不將他們的過犯歸到他們身上,並且將這和好的道理託付了我們。
所以,我們作基督的使者,就好像神藉我們勸你們一般。我們替基督求你們與神和好。
神使那無罪(無罪:原文作不知罪)的,替我們成為罪,好叫我們在他裡面成為神的義。
以弗所書 2:14
- 18
For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility,
by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace,
and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility.
He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near.
For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.
因他使我們和睦(原文作因他是我們的和睦),將兩下合而為一,拆毀了中間隔斷的牆;
而且以自己的身體廢掉冤仇,就是那記在律法上的規條,為要將兩下藉著自己造成一個新人,如此便成就了和睦。
既在十字架上滅了冤仇,便藉這十字架使兩下歸為一體,與神和好了,
並且來傳和平的福音給你們遠處的人,也給那近處的人。
因為我們兩下藉著他被一個聖靈所感,得以進到父面前。
希伯來書 7:16
- 19
one who has become a priest not on the basis of a regulation as to his ancestry but on the basis of the power of an indestructible life.
For it is declared: "You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek."
The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless
(for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.
他成為祭司,並不是照屬肉體的條例,乃是照無窮(原文作不能毀壞)之生命的大能。
因為有給他作見證的說:「你是照著麥基洗德的等次永遠為祭司。」
先前的條例,因軟弱無益,所以廢掉了,
(律法原來一無所成)就引進了更美的指望;靠這指望,我們便可以進到神面前。
希伯來書 9:15
For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance-now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.
為此,他作了新約的中保,既然受死贖了人在前約之時所犯的罪過,便叫蒙召之人得著所應許永遠的產業。
彼得前書 3:18
For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit.
因基督也曾一次為罪受苦(有古卷:受死),就是義的代替不義的,為要引我們到神面前。按著肉體說,他被治死;按著靈性說,他復活了。
路加福音 1:74
- 75
to rescue us from the hand of our enemies, and to enable us to serve him without fear
in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.
叫我們既從仇敵手中被救出來,
就可以終身在他面前,坦然無懼的用聖潔、公義事奉他。
歌羅西書 1:20
and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.
既然藉著他在十字架上所流的血成就了和平,便藉著他叫萬有,無論是地上的、天上的都與自己和好了。
羅馬書 5:9
- 11
Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him!
For if, while we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!
Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
現在我們既靠著他的血稱義,就更要藉著他免去神的忿怒。
因為我們作仇敵的時候,且藉著神兒子的死,得與神和好;既已和好,就更要因他的生得救了。
不但如此,我們既藉著我主耶穌基督得與神和好,也就藉著他以神為樂。
羅馬書 8:33
- 34
Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies.
Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died-more than that, who was raised to life-is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.
誰能控告神所揀選的人呢?有神稱他們為義了(或作:是稱他們為義的神嗎)。
誰能定他們的罪呢?有基督耶穌已經死了,而且從死裡復活,現今在神的右邊,也替我們祈求(有基督云云或作是已經死了,而且從死裡復活,現今在神的右邊,也替我們祈求的基督耶穌嗎)
希伯來書 6:19
- 20
We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain,
where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.
我們有這指望,如同靈魂的錨,又堅固又牢靠,且通入幔內。
作先鋒的耶穌,既照著麥基洗德的等次成了永遠的大祭司,就為我們進入幔內。
希伯來書 8:1
- 6
Now the main point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,
and who serves in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by a mere human being.
Every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, and so it was necessary for this one also to have something to offer.
If he were on earth, he would not be a priest, for there are already priests who offer the gifts prescribed by the law.
They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: "See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain."
But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on better promises.
我們所講的事,其中第一要緊的,就是我們有這樣的大祭司,已經坐在天上至大者寶座的右邊,
在聖所,就是真帳幕裡,作執事;這帳幕是主所支的,不是人所支的。
凡大祭司都是為獻禮物和祭物設立的,所以這位大祭司也必須有所獻的。
他若在地上,必不得為祭司,因為已經有照律法獻禮物的祭司。
他們供奉的事本是天上事的形狀和影像,正如摩西將要造帳幕的時候,蒙神警戒他,說:『你要謹慎,作各樣的物件都要照著在山上指示你的樣式。』
如今耶穌所得的職任是更美的,正如他作更美之約的中保;這約原是憑更美之應許立的。
希伯來書 10:19
- 22
Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus,
by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body,
and since we have a great priest over the house of God,
let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.
弟兄們,我們既因耶穌的血得以坦然進入至聖所,
是藉著他給我們開了一條又新又活的路,從幔子經過,這幔子就是他的身體。
又有一位大祭司治理神的家!
並我們心中天良的虧欠已經灑去,身體用清水洗淨了,就當存著誠心和充足的信心來到神面前;
約翰一書 2:1
- 2
My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father-Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.
He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.
我小子們哪,我將這些話寫給你們,是要叫你們不犯罪。若有人犯罪,在父那裡我們有一位中保,就是那義者耶穌基督。
他為我們的罪作了挽回祭,不是單為我們的罪,也是為普天下人的罪。
啟示錄 1:5
- 6
and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood,
and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father-to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.
並那誠實作見證的、從死裡首先復活、為世上君王元首的耶穌基督,有恩惠、平安歸與你們!他愛我們,用自己的血使我們脫離(有古卷:洗去)罪惡,
又使我們成為國民,作他父神的祭司。但願榮耀、權能歸給他,直到永永遠遠。阿們!
啟示錄 5:9
- 10
And they sang a new song, saying: "You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation.
You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth."
他們唱新歌,說:你配拿書卷,配揭開七印;因為你曾被殺,用自己的血從各族、各方、各民、各國中買了人來,叫他們歸於神,
又叫他們成為國民,作祭司歸於神,在地上執掌王權。
希伯來書 4:14
- 16
Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess.
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are-yet he did not sin.
Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
我們既然有一位已經升入高天尊榮的大祭司,就是神的兒子耶穌,便當持定所承認的道。
因我們的大祭司並非不能體恤我們的軟弱。他也曾凡事受過試探,與我們一樣,只是他沒有犯罪。
所以,我們只管坦然無懼的來到施恩的寶座前,為要得憐恤,蒙恩惠,作隨時的幫助。
