First Reading: 2 COR 8:1-9

读经一（基督为了你们成了贫困的。）

恭读圣保禄宗徒致格林多人后书 8:1-9

 

We want you to know, brothers and sisters, of the grace of God that has been given to the churches of Macedonia,

弟兄们！如今我们愿意告诉你们：天主在马其顿各教会所施与的恩惠，

 

for in a severe test of affliction, the abundance of their joy and their profound poverty overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part.

就是他们在患难频繁的试探中，仍充满喜乐，他们虽极度贫困，还是慷慨解囊。

 

For according to their means, I can testify, and beyond their means, spontaneously, they begged us insistently for the favor of taking part in the service to the holy ones,

我可以作证：他们是尽了力量，什至超过了力量，自动捐输，且再三恳求我们准许他们分享供应圣徒的恩惠。

 

and this, not as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and to us through the will of God, so that we urged Titus that,

他们所作的，不但如我们所盼望的，而且按照天主的旨意，把自己先奉献给主，也献给了我们；因此，我们请求弟铎，

 

as he had already begun, he should also complete for you this gracious act also.

他既然开始了这慈善的事，也在你们中予以完成。

 

Now as you excel in every respect, in faith, discourse, knowledge, all earnestness, and in the love we have for you, may you excel in this gracious act also.

就如你们在一切事上，在信德、语言、知识和各种热情上，并在我们所交于你们的爱情上，超群出众，这样也要在这善事上超群出众。

 

I say this not by way of command, but to test the genuineness of your love by your concern for others.

我说这话并不是命令，而是藉别人的热情来试验你们爱情的真诚，

 

For you know the gracious act of our Lord Jesus Christ, that for your sake he became poor although he was rich, so that by his poverty you might become rich.

因为你们知道我们的主耶稣基督的恩赐：他本是富有的，为了你们却成了贫困的，好使你们因着他的贫困而成为富有的。

Gospel MT 5:43-48

福音（我们当爱你们的仇人。）

恭读圣玛窦福音 5:43-48

 

Jesus said to his disciples: "You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.

那时候，耶稣对他的门徒说：“你们一向听说过：‘你应爱你的近人，恨你的仇人！’

 

But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your heavenly Father,

我却对你们说：你们当爱你们的仇人，当为迫害你们的人祈祷，好使你们成为你们在天之父的子女，

 

for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good, and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust.

因为他使太阳上升，光照恶人，也光照善人；降雨给义人，也给不义的人。

 

For if you love those who love you, what recompense will you have? Do not the tax collectors do the same?

你们若只爱那爱你们的人，你们还有什么赏报呢？税吏不是也这样作吗？

 

And if you greet your brothers only, what is unusual about that? Do not the pagans do the same? So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect."

你们若只问候你们的弟兄，你们作了什么特别的呢？外邦人不是也这样作吗？所以你们应当是成全的，如同你们的天父是成全的一样。”
