西番雅書 1

Study

1 猶大王亞們的兒子約西亞在位的時候,耶和華的臨到希西家的玄孫,亞瑪利雅的曾孫,基大利的孫子,古示的兒子西番雅。

2 耶和華:我必從地上除滅萬類。

3 我必除滅人和牲畜,與空中的裡的魚,以及絆腳石和惡人;我必將人從地上剪除。這是耶和華的。

4 我必伸攻擊猶大耶路撒冷的一切居民,也必從這地方剪除所下的巴力,並基瑪林的名和祭司

5 與那些在房頂上敬拜上萬象的,並那些敬拜耶和華指著他起誓,又指著瑪勒堪起誓的,

6 與那些去不跟從耶和華的,和不尋求耶和華也不訪問他的。

7 你要在耶和華面前靜默無聲,因為耶和華的日子快到。耶和華已經預備祭物,將他的客分別為

8 到了我─耶和華獻祭的日子,必懲罰首領和王子,並一切穿外邦衣服的。

9 到那日,我必懲罰一切跳過門檻、將強暴和詭詐得來之物充滿房屋的。

10 耶和華:當那日,從魚必發出悲哀的聲音,從二城發出哀號的聲音,從山間發出破裂的響聲。

11 瑪革提施的居民哪,你們要哀號,因為迦南的商民都滅亡了!凡搬運子的都被剪除。

12 那時,我必用巡查耶路撒冷;我必懲罰那些如酒在渣滓上澄清的;他們心裡耶和華必不降福,也不降禍。

13 他們的財寶必成為掠物;他們的房屋必變為荒場。他們必建造房屋,卻不得在其內;栽種葡萄園,卻不得所出的酒。

14 耶和華的日臨近,臨近而且甚快,乃是耶和華日子的風聲;勇士必痛痛地哭號。

15 那日是忿怒的日子,是急難困苦的日子,是荒廢淒涼的日子,是黑暗幽冥、密烏黑的日子,

16 是吹角吶喊的日子,要攻擊堅固城和大的城樓。

17 我必使災禍臨到人身上,使他們行走如同瞎眼的,因為得罪了我。他們的血必倒出如灰塵;他們的肉必拋棄如糞土。

18 耶和華發怒的日子,他們的不能救他們;他的忿怒如必燒滅全,毀滅這的一切居民,而且大大毀滅。

/ 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).
