PHILIPPIANS 4
腓立比书4章
17 Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.
17我并不求什么馈送，所求的就是你们的果子渐渐增多，归在你们的账上。
18 But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well pleasing to God.
18但我样样都有，并且有余。我已经充足，因我从以巴弗提受了你们的馈送，当作极美的香气，为 神所收纳、所喜悦的祭物。
FRUITFUL ACCOUNTS
结满果子的（属天的）账户
Paul is giving beautiful instructions... on giving.
在“施予”方面，保罗已经给出了一份漂亮的说明书。
This is a church, that made Paul very happy, as they blessed Paul time and time again.
这是一个使保罗感到非常喜乐的教会，因为他们一次又一次地为保罗祝福。
Some people to whom you give, are not asking for gifts or donations. Hudson Taylor in China in the 1860's had needs and the post took 6 months to come, but every need was met, exactly on time. He did not ask for gifts, but God supplied every need at just the right time.
有些被你给予的人，也许并不是想要礼物或捐赠。当19世纪60年代 哈德逊·泰勒当时在中国有各种需求，邮件花了六个月到达，但所有需求都准时得到满足。他不求礼物，神却在适当的时候供给他一切的需要。
When you give a gift to the work of God, it is a sweet smell in the nostrils of God. Paul did not want a gift because he wanted a gift, but he wanted that gift to be in their account, and he wanted their account to abound and grow. This isn't an account that grows by putting money in, but by taking money out.
当你把一份礼物投入到为上帝做的工的时候，它在上帝的鼻孔里是一种馨香的气息。保罗不想要礼物，因为但他想要的礼物是在他们的（属天）帐户里，他想要他们的帐户丰富和增长。这不是一个通过存钱而增长的账户，而是通过取款而增长的账户。
The next time you give a gift to the Lord's work, remember that it is well pleasing to God, and it has a sweet aroma to the receiver, but also to God.
下次你把捐赠献入到主的工作，要记着这礼物是神所喜悦的，受赠者也必闻其馨香，也是神所喜悦的。
Heavenly bank accounts are different than earthly ones; the more you take out and give to others for the glory of God, the more the account grows.
属天的银行账户与地上的不同;你为荣耀神所支取的“款”，越多分给别人，属天账户余额反而就越增长。
How fruitful and abounding is your heavenly bank account?
你属天的银行账户有多丰富和硕果累累呢？
God bless you,
上帝祝福你
