創世記 1

Studie

1 起初，神創造天地。

2 地是空虛混沌，淵面黑暗；神的靈運行在水面上。

3 神說：要有光，就有了光。

4 神看光是好的，就把光暗分開了。

5 神稱光為晝，稱暗為夜。有晚上，有早晨，這是頭一日。

6 神說：諸水之間要有空氣，將水分為上下。

7 神就造出空氣，將空氣以下的水、空氣以上的水分開了。事就這樣成了。

8 神稱空氣為天。有晚上，有早晨，是第二日。

9 神說：天下的水要聚在一處，使旱地露出來。事就這樣成了。

10 神稱旱地為地，稱水的聚處為海。神看著是好的。

11 神說：地要發生青草和結種子的菜蔬，並結果子的樹木，各從其類，果子都包著核。事就這樣成了。

12 於是地發生了青草和結種子的菜蔬，各從其類；並結果子的樹木，各從其類；果子都包著核。神看著是好的。

13 有晚上，有早晨，是第三日。

14 神說：天上要有光體，可以分晝夜，作記號，定節令、日子、年歲，

15 並要發光在天空，普照在地上。事就這樣成了。

16 於是神造了兩個大光，大的管晝，小的管夜，又造眾星，

17 就把這些光擺列在天空，普照在地上，

18 管理晝夜，分別明暗。神看著是好的。

19 有晚上，有早晨，是第四日。

20 神說：水要多多滋生有生命的物；要有雀鳥飛在地面以上，天空之中。

21 神就造出大魚和水中所滋生各樣有生命的動物，各從其類；又造出各樣飛鳥，各從其類。神看著是好的。

22 神就賜福給這一切，說：滋生繁多，充滿海中的水；雀鳥也要多生在地上。

23 有晚上，有早晨，是第五日。

24 神說：地要生出活物來，各從其類；牲畜、昆蟲、地上的野獸，各從其類。事就這樣成了。

25 於是神造出野獸，各從其類；牲畜，各從其類；地上一切昆蟲，各從其類。神看著是好的。

26 神說：我們要照著我們的形像、按著我們的樣式造人，使他們管理海裡的魚、空中的鳥、地上的牲畜，和全地，並地上所爬的一切昆蟲。

27 神就照著自己的形像造人，乃是照著他的形像造男造女。

28 神就賜福給他們，又對他們說：要生養眾多，遍滿地面，治理這地，也要管理海裡的魚、空中的鳥，和地上各樣行動的活物。

29 神說：看哪，我將遍地上一切結種子的菜蔬和一切樹上所結有核的果子全賜給你們作食物。

30 至於地上的走獸和空中的飛鳥，並各樣爬在地上有生命的物，我將青草賜給他們作食物。事就這樣成了。

31 神看著一切所造的都甚好。有晚上，有早晨，是第六日。

50. The Most Ancient Church understood by the “image of the Lord” more than can be expressed. Man is altogether ignorant that he is governed of the Lord through angels and spirits, and that with everyone there are at least two spirits, and two angels. By spirits man has communication with the world of spirits, and by angels with heaven. Without communication by means of spirits with the world of spirits, and by means of angels with heaven, and thus through heaven with the Lord, man could not live at all; his life entirely depends on this conjunction, so that if the spirits and angels were to withdraw, he would instantly perish.

[2] While man is unregenerate he is governed quite otherwise than when regenerated. While unregenerate there are evil spirits with him, who so domineer over him that the angels, though present, are scarcely able to do anything more than merely guide him so that he may not plunge into the lowest evil, and bend him to some good-in fact bend him to good by means of his own cupidities, and to truth by means of the fallacies of the senses. He then has communication with the world of spirits through the spirits who are with him, but not so much with heaven, because evil spirits rule, and the angels only avert their rule.

[3] But when the man is regenerate, the angels rule, and inspire him with all goods and truths, and with fear and horror of evils and falsities. The angels indeed lead, but only as ministers, for it is the Lord alone who governs man through angels and spirits. And as this is done through the ministry of angels, it is here first said, in the plural number, “Let us make man in our image;” and yet because the Lord alone governs and disposes, it is said in the following verse, in the singular number, “God created him in His own image.” This the Lord also plainly declares in Isaiah:

Thus saith Jehovah thy Redeemer, and He that formed thee from the womb, I Jehovah make all things, stretching forth the heavens alone, spreading abroad the earth by Myself (Isaiah 44:24).

The angels moreover themselves confess that there is no power in them, but that they act from the Lord alone.
