和合本 弗 5:21-33 |
NIV Eph 5:21-33 |
---|---|
21又當存敬畏基督的心、彼此順服。 | 21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. |
22 你們作妻子的、當順服自己的丈夫、如同順服主。 | 22 Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. |
23 因為丈夫是妻子的頭、如同基督是教會的頭.他又是教會全體的救主。 | 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. |
24 教會怎樣順服基督、妻子也要怎樣凡事順服丈夫。 | 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. |
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. | 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her |
26 要用水藉著道、把教會洗淨、成為聖潔、 | 26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, |
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。 | 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. |
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。 | 28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. |
29 從來沒有人恨惡自己的身子、總要保養顧惜、正像基督待教會一樣. | 29 After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church-- |
30 因我們是他身上的肢體。〔有古卷在此有就是他的骨他的肉〕 | 30 for we are members of his body. |
31 為這個緣故、人要離開父母、與妻子連合、二人成為一體。 | 31 "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh." |
32 這是極大的奧秘、但我是指著基督和教會說的。 | 32 This is a profound mystery--but I am talking about Christ and the church. |
33 然而你們各人都當愛妻子、如同愛自己一樣.妻子也當敬重他的丈夫。 | 33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband. |
一個星期五的黃昏,帶著輕鬆心情下班回家。進門的時候廚房傳來弄晚飯的聲音,心下更高興,因為太太患病數天,知道她能夠康復下床弄晚飯是個好消息。

說這話真是傷透了我的心,想不到我太太 --- 湯太竟然和湯家劃清關係!她不單止人身攻擊,更加禍及本家。
「開桌食飯」太太說。
「我不吃,你和兒子先吃吧!」我賭氣地跑去浴室,問自己為什麼?今天很快樂地回家,現在要匿埋在浴室。今天可以說是乘興而來……。突然之間,一度光亮出現眼前。有人開了浴室門……。心裏想不是要追殺入來吧?!這重創了的心靈面臨崩潰。就在這一刻,我太太用了溫柔的語氣說了三個字---結婚二十年,這三個字首次出現在太太的口中 ---「對唔住」--- 我的心頓然獲得釋放。
*特別感謝湯先生和湯太太提供一扎蔥的故事。*
