12:12 就如身子是一個,卻有許多肢體;而且肢體雖多,仍是一個身子;基督也是這樣。
For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
12:13 我們不拘是猶太人,是希臘人,是為奴的,是自主的,都從一位聖靈受洗,成了一個身體,飲於一位聖靈。
For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. Gentiles: Gr. Greeks

12:15 設若腳說:我不是手,所以不屬乎身子;它不能因此就不屬乎身子。
If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
12:16 設若耳說:我不是眼,所以不屬乎身子;它也不能因此就不屬乎身子。
And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
12:17 若全身是眼,從那裡聽聲呢?若全身是耳,從那裡聞味呢?
If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
12:18 但如今, 神隨自己的意思把肢體俱各安排在身上了。
But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
12:21 眼不能對手說:我用不著你;頭也不能對腳說:我用不著你。
And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
12:22 不但如此,身上肢體人以為軟弱的,更是不可少的。
Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
12:23 身上肢體,我們看為不體面的,越發給它加上體面;不俊美的,越發得著俊美。
And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. bestow: or, put on
12:24 我們俊美的肢體,自然用不著裝飾;但 神配搭這身子,把加倍的體面給那有缺欠的肢體,
For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked:
And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. bestow: or, put on
12:24 我們俊美的肢體,自然用不著裝飾;但 神配搭這身子,把加倍的體面給那有缺欠的肢體,

12:25 免得身上分門別類,總要肢體彼此相顧。
That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. schism: or, division
That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. schism: or, division
12:26 若一個肢體受苦,所有的肢體就一同受苦;若一個肢體得榮耀,所有的肢體就一同快樂。
And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
身體上那些似乎比較軟弱的肢體,更是不可缺少的。—哥林多前書12章22節,新譯本
全年讀經: 撒母耳記下9-12章
有數百萬人在家裡創業辦公,其中有些人覺得在家裡孤軍作戰似乎有點寂寞,於是便想出了「同享辦公地點」的作法。
一些自由職業者,共同租用一個大空間,他們
各有各的工作區域,但是他們可以和其他自由職業者交換意見。
這是為這些人而設計的方式,因為他們覺得一同工作比孤軍作戰的效果更好。
有時候,基督徒會覺得單獨行事比較好,其實,基督徒本應該要在教會與他人同工的。
每個基督徒都是基督的肢體之一(哥林多前書12章27節),上帝的心意是要我們參與當地的教會,與其他基督徒同工,發揮我們的恩賜,大家齊心協力服事上帝。
但有時候,因為各種不同的原因,有些人無法與大家一起同工。
比方說,因為身體狀況不佳,所以只能待在家裡,或者不知如何融入教會等等。
然而,這些弟兄姐妹
仍然是在基督裡不可或缺的肢體之一(22-25節)。
這時,其他基督徒就必須有合一的見證,關心他們的需要,讓他們感受到自己也是教會的一分子。
身為基督
徒,一起同工比孤軍作戰更美好。AMC
思考:
你如何幫助人感覺他也是教會的一分子?
探訪、和他一起禱告、一起讀經、寫信給他、
邀他和你一起服事,這些都有助益。
團契讓我們團結一體,共同成長。
