團契的意義

Fellowship


Κοινωνια, which translated as fellowship and communion, signifies properly participation; having things in common; partaking with each other.


團契- 相交,參與,有共同的目標,彼此分享。

請參考馮秉誠牧師的講道:主裡的團契生活


基督徒得救後就蒙召進入 神、耶穌基督和聖靈的團契中,與神相交。也在這團契中彼此相交。


我們是在神和他子的契中,接受福音的人就加入我們與神的團契。

翰一 13 (1 John 1:3)

(和合本)們將所看、所聽見傳給,使你們與相交。我乃是父并他子耶基督相交的。

()把所看聽見的向你,使你也可以和我相通。我父和他的子耶基督心相通的。

(ESV) that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ


神呼召我進入主耶契與主相交。

哥林多前 19 (1Co 1:9)

(和合本) 神是信的,你原是被他所召,好子我的主耶基督一同得分。

() 神是信的,他呼召了你,是要你們與他的子我主耶基督合在一起。

(ESV) God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord 神是信實的,祂呼召我們進入他兒子主耶穌基督的團契。


我們也在聖靈的團契中

哥林多后 1314 (2Co 13:14)

(和合本) 主耶基督的恩惠、神的慈聖靈的感,常們眾人同在!

() 主耶基督的恩惠,神的慈聖靈的契通,常們眾人同在。

(ESV) The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all


腓利比 21-2 (Philippians 2:1-2)

(和合本) 所以,在基督里若有什麽勉,心有什麽安慰,聖靈有什麽交通,心中有什麽慈悲憐憫2:2 就要意念相同,心相同,有一的心思,有一的意念,使我的喜可以滿足。

() 所以,你在基督里若有什么勉,有什么心的安慰,有什么里的契通,有什么慈悲和憐憫應當有同的思想,同心,要心志相同,思想一致,使我充滿

(ESV) So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.


行在光中的人才能與團契,才能彼此交通團契

翰一167 (1Jn 1:67)

(和合本)神相交,仍在黑暗里行,就是說謊話,不行真理了。我若在光明中行,如同神在光明中,就彼此相交,他子耶的血也洗一切的罪。

()自己他心相通,行在黑暗里,就是說謊話,不行真理了。我若行在光中,像他在光中一,就彼此心相通,他子耶的血也潔淨們脫離一切罪。

(ESV) If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truthBut if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin


信神和不信神的人,沒有神作為團契的根基,無法在神的靈裡相交,彼此並不匹配(incompatible) ,因此無法同工。

哥林多后 614 (2Co 6:14)

(和合本)和不信的原不相配,不要同和不有什麽相交呢?光明和黑暗有什麽相通呢?

()和不信的人不可共和不法有什么相同呢?光明和黑暗怎能相通呢?

(ESV) Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?


使徒以右手行相交之禮,建立互相接納分工合作的團契。

加拉太 29 (Gal 2:9)

(和合本)又知道所賜給我的恩典,那稱為柱石的雅各、 法、翰,就向我和巴拿巴用右手行相交之,叫我往外邦人那里去,他往受割的人那里去。

()又知道我蒙了 神的恩,那几位被譽為柱石的雅各、法和翰,就向我和巴拿巴伸出右手互相許諾,我要到外族人那里去福音,他要到受割的人那里去福音;

(ESV) and when James and Cephas and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given to me, they gave the right hand of fellowship to Barnabas and me, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised


門徒要致力於增進彼此之間的

使徒行 242 (Act 2:42)

(和合本)心遵守使徒的教,彼此交接,擘,祈

()們恆心遵守使徒的教,彼此相通、擘和祈

(ESV) And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers
