馬太福音 1

1 亞伯拉罕的後裔,大衛的子孫(後裔子孫原文都作兒子下同),耶穌基督的家譜:

2 亞伯拉罕以撒以撒雅各雅各生猶大和他的弟兄;

3 猶大從他瑪氏生法勒斯和謝拉;法勒斯生希斯崙;希斯崙生亞蘭;

4 亞蘭生亞米拿達;亞米拿達生拿順;拿順生撒門;

5 撒門從喇合氏生波阿斯;波阿斯從路得氏生俄備得;俄備得生耶西;

6 耶西生大衛王。大衛從烏利亞的妻子生所羅門;

7 所羅門生羅波安;羅波安生亞比雅;亞比雅生亞撒;

8 亞撒生約沙法;約沙法生約蘭;約蘭生烏西亞;

9 烏西亞生約坦;約坦生亞哈斯;亞哈斯生希西家;

10 希西家生瑪拿西;瑪拿西生亞們;亞們生約西亞;

11 百姓被遷到巴比倫的時候,約西亞生耶哥尼雅和他的弟兄。

12 遷到巴比倫之後,耶哥尼雅生撒拉鐵;撒拉鐵生所羅巴伯;

13 所羅巴伯生亞比玉;亞比玉生以利亞敬;以利亞敬生亞所;

14 亞所生撒督;撒督生亞金;亞金生以律;

15 以律生以利亞撒;以利亞撒生馬但;馬但生雅各

16 雅各生約瑟,就是馬利亞的丈夫。那稱為基督的耶穌是從馬利亞生的。

17 這樣,從亞伯拉罕到大衛共有十四代;從大衛到遷至巴比倫的時候也有十四代;從遷至巴比倫的時候到基督又有十四代。

18 耶穌基督降生的事記在下面:他母親馬利亞已經許配了約瑟,還沒有迎娶,馬利亞就從聖靈懷了孕。

19 他丈夫約瑟是個人,不願意明明的羞辱他,想要暗暗的把他休了。

20 正思念這事的時候,有主的使者向他夢中顯現,:大衛的子孫約瑟,不要怕!只管娶過你的妻子馬利亞來,因他所懷的孕是從聖靈來的。

21 他將要生一個兒子,你要給他起名叫耶穌,因他要將自己的百姓從罪惡裡出來。

22 這一切的事成就是要應驗主藉先知所的話,

23 說:必有童女懷孕生子;人要稱他的名為以馬內利。(以馬內利翻出來就是神與我們同在。)

24 約瑟醒了,起來,就遵著主使者的吩咐把妻子娶過來;

25 只是沒有和他同房,等他生了兒子(有古卷:等他生了頭胎的兒子),就給他起名叫耶穌。

Scriptural Confirmations #4

  
/ 101  
  

4. 2. The Son of God (Romans 1:3-4).

Called after Jesus Christ, Christians (Romans 1:6) through the faith of Jesus Christ (Romans 3:22).

Faith in Christ. Through Jesus Christ we have peace toward God, and to God we have access by faith into this grace, and we glory in the hope of the glory of God (Romans 5:1-2).

By Jesus Christ were we reconciled to God (Romans 5:10,11).

As by one man sin entered into the world, so by the justice of one are we justified (Romans 5:12, 13, 15, 18-19).

There is no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit, in order that the justification of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit (Romans 8:1-4). Christ is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us (Romans 8:34).

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, distress, hunger, death, angels, principalities, height, depth, etc. (Romans 8:35-39)?

From the fathers Christ is according to the flesh, who is over all; God blessed forever. Amen (Romans 9:5).

Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved (Romans 10:13).

We are one body in Christ; all are members having different gifts according to grace (Romans 12:5-6). The gifts which belong to different members are enumerated in a long series (verses 6, 13).

Put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 13:14).

Whether we live, we live in the Lord; whether we die, we die in the Lord; therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's. For to this end Christ both died and rose and lived again that He might be Lord both of the dead and of the living (Romans 14:8-9).

It is written, I live, saith the Lord, for every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God (Romans 14:11). Isaiah saith, there shall be a root of Jesse, and He that shall rise to rule over the nations; in Him shall the nations hope (Romans 15:12).

The Gospel of Christ (Romans 15:19-21).

Chosen and tried in the Lord, in Christ: to work and labor in the Lord (Romans 16:8-13).
