早上經文
既是兒女,便是後嗣,就是 神的後嗣,
和基督同作後嗣;
如果我們和他一同受苦,
也必和他一同得榮耀。
你們既屬乎基督,就是亞伯拉罕的後裔,
是照著應許承受產業的。
你看父賜給我們是何等的慈愛,
使我們得稱為 神的兒女;我們也真是他的兒女。
世人所以不認識我們,
是因未曾認識他。
這樣,你們不再是奴僕,乃是兒子;
既是兒子,就靠著 神為後嗣。
又因愛我們,就按著自己意旨所喜悅的,
預定我們藉著耶穌基督得兒子的名分。
父啊,我在那裡,願你所賜給我的人也同我在那裡,
叫他們看見你所賜給我的榮耀,
因為創立世界以前你已經愛我了。
那得勝又遵守我命令到底的,
我要賜給他權柄制伏列國。
得勝的,
我要賜他在我寶座上與我同坐,
就如我得了勝,在我父的寶座上與他同坐一般。

Morning Scripture
and if children, then heirs—heirs of God
and joint heirs with Christ,
if indeed we suffer with Him,
that we may also be glorified together.
And if you are Christ’s,
then you are Abraham’s seed,
and heirs according to the promise.
Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us,
that we should be called children of God!
Therefore the world does not know us,
because it did not know Him.
Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son,
and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself,
according to the good pleasure of His will,
“Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am,
that they may behold My glory which You have given Me;
for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.”
And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end,
to him I will give power over the nations—
To him who overcomes
I will grant to sit with Me on My throne,
as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
