罗马书１５

象基督那样去事奉

要彼此接纳

15:1 我们坚固的人应该担待不坚固人的软弱，不求自己的喜悦。
15:2 我们各人务要叫邻舍喜悦，使他得益处，建立德行。
15:3 因为基督也不求自己的喜悦，如经上所记：
“辱骂你人的辱骂都落在我身上。” （诗篇６９：９）
15:4 从前所写的圣经都是为教训我们写的，
叫我们因圣经所生的忍耐和安慰，可以得着盼望。
15:5 但愿赐忍耐、安慰的神，
叫你们彼此同心，效法基督耶稣，
15:6 一心一口荣耀神，我们主耶稣基督的父。
15:7 所以你们要彼此接纳，如同基督接纳你们一样，使荣耀归与神。
15:8 我说，基督是为神真理作了受割礼人的执事，
要证实所应许列祖的话，
15:9 并叫外邦人因他的怜悯荣耀神。如经上所记：
“因此我要在外邦中称赞你，
歌颂你的名。”（诗篇１８：４９）
15:10 又说：
“你们外邦人当与主的百姓一同欢乐。”（申命记３２：４３）
15:11 又说：
“外邦啊，你们当赞美主。万民哪，你们都当颂赞他。”（诗篇１１７：１）
15:12 又有以赛亚说：
“将来有耶西的根，就是那兴起来要治理外邦的，
外邦人要仰望他。”（以赛亚书１１：１０）
15:13 但愿使人有盼望的神，因信将诸般的喜乐平安充满你们的心，
使你们借着圣灵的能力大有盼望。

保罗像基督那样去事奉的榜样

⒈传福音

15:14 弟兄们，我自己也深信你们是满有良善，
充足了诸般的知识，也能彼此劝戒。
15:15 但我稍微放胆写信给你们，是要提醒你们的记性，
特因神所给我的恩典，
15:16 使我为外邦人作基督耶稣的仆役，
作神福音的祭司，
叫所献上的外邦人，因着圣灵成为圣洁，可蒙悦纳。
15:17 所以论到神的事，我在基督耶稣里有可夸的。
15:18 除了基督借我作的那些事，我什么都不敢提，
只提他借我言语作为，用神迹奇事的能力，
并圣灵的能力，使外邦人顺服。
15:19 甚至我从耶路撒冷，直转到以利哩古，
到处传了基督的福音。
15:20 我立了志向，不在基督的名被称过的地方传福音，
免得建造在别人的根基上。
15:21 就如经上所记：
“未曾闻知他信息的，将要看见；
未曾听过的，将要明白。”（以赛亚书５２：１５）
15:22 我因多次被拦阻，总不得到你们那里去。

２．供给实际所需

15:23 但如今在这里再没有可传的地方，
而且这好几年，我切心想望
到士班雅去的时候，可以到你们那里。
15:24 盼望从你们那里经过，得见你们，先与你们彼此交往，
心里稍微满足，然后蒙你们送行。
15:25 但现在，我往耶路撒冷去供给圣徒。
15:26 因为马其顿和亚该亚人
乐意凑出捐项给耶路撒冷圣徒中的穷人。
15:27 这固然是他们乐意的，其实也算是所欠的债。
因外邦人既然在他们属灵的好处上有分，
就当把养身之物供给他们。
15:28 等我办完了这事，把这善果向他们交付明白，
我就要路过你们那里，往士班雅去。

15:29 我也晓得去的时候，必带着基督丰盛的恩典而去。

３．祷告

15:30 弟兄们，我借着我们主耶稣基督，又借着圣灵的爱，
劝你们与我一同竭力，为我祈求神，
15:31 叫我脱离在犹太不顺从的人，
也叫我为耶路撒冷所办的捐项可蒙圣徒悦纳。
15:32 并叫我顺着神的旨意，欢欢喜喜地到你们那里，与你们同得安息。
15:33 愿赐平安的神常和你们众人同在，阿们。

注释

In the first half of this chapter, Paul is bringing to a conclusion the issues of the previous chapter concerning disputable matters. Therefore the "weak" brother is with reference to disputable things as observing certain days as holy or not. The main application is to not divide over disputable matters. The history of denominationalism seems to show that popular Christianity has often not represented Biblical Christianity, as described in this chapter.

vs 7-12 If Christ can reconciliation Jews and Gentiles together considering their differences, surely we can all tolerate one another with respect to disputable matters. And doing so would make Christians stand out in the world, which so often divides over trivial matters such as the color one's skin, or one's ethnic background, or financial status.

vs 14 It's always helpful when teaching others to clarify what you actually think of them. Though he writes of basic doctrine, he's writing to rather mature Christians. This may seem a bit condescending. But in my own experience, I find that the more mature one becomes in Christ, the more they will focus back on the essentials of the faith and the application of those essentials.

vs 17-33 Sharing personal examples of the application of the Bible is often a more powerful form of teaching than indoctrination. As the saying goes: "Your actions speak louder than your words." Sharing how you yourself live the Christian life can be an encouragement or a rebuke to other Christians. One is reminded of the verse:

彼得前书３：１ "Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wive" (niv)
vs 18,19 Notice Paul's awareness of the presence of Christ in his life. And just as with Jesus, the miracles affirmed that he really was God's apostle. The preaching of the gospel of Christ he had emphasized all the way from chapter 1. Preaching of the gospel should be a part of every Christian's life?

vs 21 Paul applies 以赛亚书５２：１５ to himself, but notice the context of 以赛亚书５２：１３－１５. It applies to the Messiah. Paul personalizes what the Bible says about Jesus. So also should all Christians. In this way, we follow Christ, not only obeying his commands, but also inferring applications from what is written of Him. Personalize Jesus. Become His ambassador. Adapt His lifestyle.

"I am crucified with Christ: neverthless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me." 加拉太书２：２０
vs 23 Imagine Paul being in your area and saying that there was "no more place for me to work in these regions." Of course what he meant was that he had adaquately preached the gospel in those regions. Each of us should have a sense of what our ministry is.

vs 25-28 One often has to go out of one's way to provide for the practical needs of the poor. Paul had to travel all over the place to transfer the money. Today where are the poor? Primarily in the third world. Yes there are poor in America, but certainly not to the degree as that in the third world. The problem is - out of sight, out of mind. As Paul, we must go to great lengths to look beyond our borders and provide for those who are in the greatest need. Of course it's much easier to do so now than in Paul's time, so we have no excuse.

vs 31 Paul experienced a great deal of hostility against his ministry both by unbelievers and "believers". Members of the church at Jerusalem had been particularly hostile to him as he notes in Galatians chapter 2. How much more refreshing he must feel when he's around people of a like heart and mind.
