通过多年的观察学习到，不论是知识多丰富、教义再精通也好，圣经译本再经典，都比不了活出来重要。有着形形色色的基督徒，就有各式各样的活法。既然在建立在正确的根基上，就应该有充满馨香之气的生命，我看到的许多许多都差的很远。即使是接受严谨的神学训练，美好的环境长起来无法改变这个事实。
这使得我开始重新审视这个问题，思考到底原因出在哪里。什么样的活法是蒙主喜悦的活法，为什么经文不能改变我？我身边好的榜样是怎样长成的？为什么我却是这样的满了缺欠？
我见过这些读者群，既见过高冷的「钦定版」，也见过自以为是的「新钦定版」，不可一世的「新美标」，和世人一般的「英标版」，也有虔敬谦卑的「新国际版」。
我该怎么看待这些现象？圣灵通过这些要我懂得什么？对着经文夸夸其谈，在字句中找珠玑，还是听了就去行？既然明白了真理，那么接下来的就应该是去行了。
2:4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth
There are the generations of the heavens and the earth … (e.)
This is the account of the heavens and the earth … (a.)
This is the account of the heavens and the earth … (i.)
本卷书名创世纪一词来源于此
account 像是记录，来历，源头。
2:5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
When no bush of the field … no small plant … sprung up … had not caused it to rain … (e.)
Now no shrub … no plant … had yet sprouted … had not sent rain … (a.)
… no shrub … sprung up … sent (i.)
KJV先提到每一种植物，然后再是草本植物。没有使得发生。是神将雨送到地上的
2:6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
and a mist was going up … was watering the whole face of the ground (e.)
but a mist used to rise … and water the whole surface of the ground (a.)
but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground (i.)
NIV用的是溪流，其他版本用的雾气滋润了地的表面。合和本用的“遍地”，那就是整个地球的地面。
2:7 formed man … and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. … a living soul.
formed 像是造形，成形，看起来比造更加具体。让我想到reformed，中文翻译为改革或者归正，英文像是重新成形。
a living creature (e.)
a living being (i.)
a living being (a.)
living soul，活的魂，
living creature， 活的生物
living being， 活的存在
我喜欢living soul的表达。在圣经的表达有，一元论（魂），二元论（魂、体），三元论（灵、魂、体）的表达。这里是典型的经文对一元论支持。
耶和华 神用地上的尘土造人，将生气吹在他鼻孔里，他就成了有灵的活人，名叫 亚当 。(u.)
耶和华天主用土造人、将生气吹在他鼻内、就成了有灵魂的活人。(p.r.)
耶和華天主用土造人、將生氣吹在他鼻子裏、就成了有靈魂的活人。(p. )
耶和華天主用土造人、將生氣吹在他鼻子裏、就成了有靈魂的活人。(p.)
和合本的翻译有些不同，强调了名叫亚当。Adam原文是（男）人的意思，大概相当于英文中的man。
2.8 The Lord God planted a garden toward the east, in Eden; and there He placed the man whom He had formed.
耶和华天主在东方的伊甸立了一园、将所造的人安在里面。(p.)
耶和华神在东方的伊甸立了一个园子，把所造的人安置在那里。(u.)
可以翻译成是神种植了一个园子在伊甸。伊甸是个地名，在东方。
planted h5193. נָטַע nâṭaʿ, naw-tah´; a prim. root; prop. to strike in, i.e. fix; spec. to plant (lit.) or fig.):—fastened, plant (-er).
placed 7760. שׂוּם sûwm, soom; or שִׂים sîym, seem; a prim. root; to put (used in a great variety of applications, lit., fig., infer. and ellip.):—× any wise, appoint, bring, call [a name], care, cast in, change, charge, commit, consider, convey, determine, + disguise, dispose, do, get, give, heap up, hold, impute, lay (down, up), leave, look, make (out), mark, + name, × on, ordain, order, + paint, place, preserve, purpose, put (on), + regard, rehearse, reward, (cause to) set (on, up), shew, + stedfastly, take, × tell, + tread down, ([over-]) turn, × wholly, work.
2:9 … grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food;the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
And out of the ground the Lord God made to spring up every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.（e.)
Out of the ground the Lord God caused to grow every tree that is pleasing to the sight and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. (a.)
The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. (i.)
耶和華天主呌各樣樹從地裏生出來、又好看、又結好吃的果子、園當中有生命的樹、還有分別善惡的樹。(p.)
耶和华天主使各样树从地而生、又好看、又结好吃的果子、园当中有生命的树、还有分别善恶的树。(p.r.)
耶和华神使各样的树从地里长出来，可以悦人的眼目，其上的果子好作食物。园子当中又有生命树和分别善恶的树。(u.)
这里的北京官话译本没有那么直译，非常朴素的表达
中文译本的【当中】，或者【中】都不好解释为正中。midst是正中的意思。英文译本表达的是在园子的正中央，有生命树和善恶树。KJV传统的表达的话，我的理解是正中央是生命树，然后才是善恶树。
前面说各样的树可以悦人眼目，如果以句号为结束，那就是说各样的树都对视觉吸引力，可以理解是神为人贴心预备的。
如果以分号为结束，各种数就只能指是这两棵树了，那么人就需要每日去在这两棵树中间取果子吃，或者生命树，或善恶树。悦人眼目的不止是善恶树。两种都不支持这样的翻译。
2:10
And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. (e.)
Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it divided and became four rivers. (a.)
A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters. (i.）
有河从伊甸流出来滋润那园子，从那里分为四道：(u.)
有河从伊甸流出来、滋润那园、从那里分为四道。 (p.r.）
heads 7218. רֹאשׁ rôʾsh, roshe; from an unused root appar. mean. to shake; the head (as most easily shaken), whether lit. or fig. (in many applications, of place, time, rank, etc.):—band, beginning, captain, chapiter, chief (-est place, man, things), company, end, × every [man], excellent, first, forefront, ([be-]) head, height, (on) high (-est part, [priest]), × lead, × poor, principal, ruler, sum, top.
这里KJV用的heads，非常直译。NIV翻译成了headwaters，源头，算是对KJV的致敬。ESV和NAS更符合一般人的阅读习惯。
12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
… bdellium and onyx stone are there. (e.)
the bdellium and the onyx stone are there. (a.)
aromatic resin and onyx are also there (n.)
并且那地的金子是好的；在那里又有珍珠和红玛瑙。(u.)
那地的金子是好的、也出比多拉、和朔杭宝石。(p.)
KJV 贝德利姆 玛瑙石
NIV 芳香树脂 缟玛瑙
13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it.
en the Lord God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it
The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.
耶和华神将那人安置在伊甸园，使他修理看守。(u.)
耶和华天主将人安在伊甸园、使他栽培看守。(p.)
dress 5647. עָבַד ʿâbad, aw-bad´; a prim. root; to work (in any sense); by impl. to serve, till, (caus.) enslave, etc.:—× be, keep in bondage, be bondmen, bond-service, compel, do, dress, ear, execute, + husbandman, keep, labour (-ing man), bring to pass, (cause to, make to) serve (-ing, self), (be, become) servant (-s), do (use) service, till (-er), transgress [from margin], (set a) work, be wrought, worshipper.
KJV的翻译很有趣，dress在当今的意思应该是装点了吧，在原有的基础上发展。所以，我觉得栽培比较合适。另外看守，是否需要避免其他的动物进来，有守着的意思，防止被破坏的意思。
16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, (e.)
The Lord God commanded the man, saying, “From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; (a.)
And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; (i.)
耶和华神吩咐他说：“园中各样树上的果子，你可以随意吃，(u.)
耶和华天主吩咐人说、园中各样树上的果子、你可以随意吃。(p.r.)
17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” (e.)
but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die.” (a.)
but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.” (a.)
只是分别善恶树上的果子，你不可吃，因为你吃的日子必定死。”
只是分别善恶树上的果子、你不可吃、吃的日子你必死。
but在中文翻译为只是，这里像是连词，而且有仅仅的意思，有强调
不清楚shalt是否比shall强烈，NIV的must很清楚。
of it 有从它的意思吧。
thereof 因此，有警告。不知道是否可以解释为，人必会吃这树上的果子并导致死亡。吃的那一天就决定死亡了。也像是宣告，提前就预示了结果、结局。
华人在加拿大华人的圈子了未必能对加拿大的很多社会现象做出客观的评价，昨天有弟兄给我提到了这个事情， 才知道这事离一般人并不算远。
该弟兄是一名护士，昨天接到单位的一个任务，去为人执行安乐死。这已经不是他们单位第一次找他了。前些日子的一次会议上，单位领导就找他们几十名护士面前，让他们接受这个任务，我们弟兄表示拒绝，也带动了其他的护士一起不接受。这位弟兄做了出头鸟，这次看来是要把这个带头的给弄倒。弟兄在电话中表示，之前已经在会上明确的表示了不会做这事情。他们单位让护士做，主要原因是该单位的医生也是全部拒绝。
执行安乐死在加拿大是合法的，早些年通过了该法案，初衷说是减少有病痛的人的痛苦。听起来还挺漂亮的。真实的动机比这复杂的多。就一个护士的薪水来说，一般做PSW护理工作时薪是$30/小时，做nursing时薪是$90，而执行安乐死是每例$4,000。护士所要做的就是推药剂进去。医生虽然不做这一步，但是也会把设备什么的架好了，医生也都会分钱，在钱面前白衣天使什么都是扯，白求恩这名号也不值几个钱。问题是政府、媒体都在宣传这个，间接的引导和劝说病人做这个，安乐死的名称也是粉饰过的。而且还从上面往下面推这事情，可能是胡萝卜加大棒的策略。一面给医疗机构下达任务，一面给分钱。钱从哪来，当然是医保了，国内可能得靠自费，加拿大都是纳税人的钱。执行一次安乐死，得给这医保系统省掉多少钱，里面的利益很深。这里医生是愿意给患者多开药的。我说在中国医生普遍赚的不及欧美，开药的事情医生可以从药商分成。他告诉我，这里的医生也分成。
这还没完，政府又在推进一个法案，给有精神问题的人也可以执行安乐死。心理有问题的人是不能正常思考和做决定的，尤其是在患有抑郁症的的时候，常常是时好时坏。法案要做的事是，他们签的安乐死也要算数。再者有人的地方难免不会出错，这要是把人推错了进了安乐室、安乐床可怎么办？不要管那安乐室的环境有多么好，人对于死亡的恐惧是自然的，恐怕最后一刻想要改变主意都来不及了。
只有人明白自己是按照上帝的形象和样式造的才有可能晓得自己的宝贵，也只有知道福音才能够使人清楚这些。
该弟兄已经做好了peace/peace out的准备。想着该弟兄还在读书，家里今年新生了小孩，妻子在家里休产假，房子也是刚买了不久，经济压力是有的。我也鼓励这位弟兄站立得住，和他说了国内弟兄的持守，以及神是如何保守他的百姓的。为他和他家代祷，也要为这个社会和这个国家带祷。
真基督徒在加拿大和在中国一样，都会受到逼迫。
今天讲道的内容是创世纪1-2章神起初造世界的内容。
创世纪1:1-2:1 为我们展示了极为浩瀚的图景，在非基督徒群体中大概看做一个开创性的宇宙起源的传说。而在基督徒的眼中，却是能够体会其中深深的爱意，无不发出对造物主的赞美。
Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
In the [b]beginning God created the heaven and the earth. (g.)
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. (e.)
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. (e.)
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. (i.)
起初神创造天地。(c.)

heaven vs heavens
Gen 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
运行
The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. （e.)
滑翔
The earth was [fn]formless and void, and darkness was over the [fn]surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was [fn]moving over the [fn]surface of the waters. (a.)
Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirt of God was hovering over the waters. (i.)
地是空虚混沌，渊面黑暗；神的灵运行在水面上。(c.)
地是空虚混沌、渊面黑暗、天主的灵运行在水面上。(p.)
NASB95的翻译整体接近于KJV，KJV喜欢使用过去时态。
Gen 1:6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
And God said, “Let there be an expanse[fn] in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” (e.)
Then God said, “Let there be [fn]an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” (a.)
And God said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.” (i.)
神说：“诸水之间要有空气，将水分为上下。” (u.)
¶天主说、水中当有空气、使上下的水分开 (p.)
KJV 翻译为firmament，ESV，NASB95， NIV84都翻译为expanse。
NIV11翻译为vault。
中文翻译为空气。
firmament 苍穹，霄
expanse 空间，辽阔，宽阔
vault 拱顶
Gen 1:26 and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Then God said, “Let us make man[fn] in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” (e.)
Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the [fn]sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” (a.)
Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[fn] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” (i.)
神说：“我们要照着我们的形像，按着我们的样式造人，使他们管理海里的鱼、空中的鸟、地上的牲畜和全地，并地上所爬的一切昆虫。(u.)
天主说、我们当按自己的形像造人、使他管辖海鱼、飞鸟、牲畜和凡动在地上的昆虫、并管辖全地。(p.)
KJV和ESV这里都有have dominion over…over…over…over…over…。
28 Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it
Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it (e.)
Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; (a.)
Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. (i.)
…治理这地… (u)
…地都属你们管… (p.)
multiply vs increase in number.
「北京译本」的管辖 vs 「和合本」的管理。
2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.. (e.)
Thus the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their hosts. (a.)
Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. ( i.)
天地万物都造齐了。( u.)
天地万物都已造成。(p.)
vast array 浩瀚的排列
1 the heaven and the earth. 此处earth小写，所以应该是指地。天地是指的地球，或是更大的范围的宇宙。
2 and the darkness was upon the face of the deep.
中文翻译为渊面黑暗，the deep这里指出深渊。黑暗在深渊的面上，面不知是否指为表面。深渊汉语的解释是很深的水，常常形容负面。
4 And God saw the light, that it was good:
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
神称光为昼，称暗为夜。先有晚上，再有早晨，这里甚至还没造出日月，就已经有了光和日夜。我们一般的理解是太阳的光照在地球，才有的光。太阳是发光星体，地球接受太阳的光。而且有了第一天，这是时间的开始。一天（日）不依赖于太阳和月亮。没有太阳也可以有光，没有太阳（日）也可以有时间。早晨（morning）和傍晚（evening）。
6 waters…waters…waters
7 firmament …firmament…firmament
8 And God called the firmament Heaven.
9 Let the waters under the heaven …
10 And God called the try land Earth; God saw that it was good.
11 the herb yielding seed, and the tree yielding fruit,
12 God saw that it was good.
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night;
已经过去三天了。没有日月也可以有晚上和早晨。
前面已经有了时间，这里的光体可以定义时间了，以被造物可理解的方式。以四季，日子，年为单位了。
这里说是众光将日和夜分开。这里和v5有什么区别呢？
可能性v.5指整个宇宙的开始；v14 指地球的开始。前面的已经有陆地，有天了Heaven了，大写不知道怎么解释。海洋和陆地已经出现。结种子的菜蔬和树也有了。
这样说来地球是先造的，其他的光体是为了给地球服务的。
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth …
16 And God made two great lights; … to rule the day, … to rule the night …
日月众星，这里必然是二十四小时
17 …. To give light upon the earth.
18 rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness …
19 the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
有众星并没有影响到，依然是有早晨（morning）有晚上（evening），这是第四日。
21 … great whales 大鲸鱼
31 … It was very good.
仔细读起来创世纪第一章，直接把场景拉近到宇宙起源，我的小脑袋瓜可装不下这么大的信息量。所以22-30节都不够时间去逐一查阅了。
大概是在2011年在「钦定版」400周年的时候，看到中文网站出现了中文「钦定版」内容。介绍了「钦定版」的来龙去脉，和近100多年出现的译本使用了不同的底本。这之后，我就开始放在心上了。那会在一小段时间里还去标注「钦定版」和「和合本」译本不同的地方，发现的地方还不少。
慢慢的发现，这起源于「唯独钦定版运动」，这是由英文世界，主要应该是独立的浸信会发起的，认为「钦定版」是最佳的翻译，认为其他后面出现的译本则对神的话进行了篡改、删减。大概是说「鉴定文本」背离了教会所保守的「公认文本」。我后来做了一个决定就是购买「日内瓦1559」版的圣经，当时是为了避免受到「唯独钦定版」的影响，在国内的很长时间里面我手头都没有一本「钦定版圣经」。这一直到我来到加拿大，小孩的学校使用「钦定版」圣经，每家都送了一本用于家庭敬拜使用，我这才有了第一本「钦定版」圣经。后来又有机会买到了「京委本」圣经。
我现在读经参考中文的译本就是「和合本」和「京委本」了，比较不多也不少吧。「和合本」更直译一些，经文也大量参考了「京委本」。我个人觉得「和合本」有比「京委本」修订更好的地方。除了「京委本」圣经的注释以外，圣经的翻译还好。
现在慢慢转到英文版圣经作为主要使用，因为英语水平不够还是需要参考不同译本。词汇方面「国际版」简单一些，「标准版」和「美标版」的直译风格比较和我的意。但感觉和意境上，我更倾向于「钦定版」。
我尽管偏好基于公认文本的「钦定版」的翻译，但不认同某些极端的想法所讲圣经文本依据语言的启示顺序依次是「希伯来」、「亚兰」、「希腊」、「拉丁」、「英文」。
不得不提的是，英文世界和中文世界还是很大程度上受到了「钦定版」圣经的影响，我们不能无视这个优秀译本。
现在回头想想，要是在Teenager的年纪手头能有本圣经该有多好。我觉得我有圣经的年纪还不够早，我是直到十八岁左右才有了一本属于自己的圣经。当时圣经对我有很大的吸引力，也好奇到底西方人的上帝是谁，耶稣又是谁？当然也有顾虑，不愿意加入任何「宗教」 ，认为那是反理智的，具有神秘色彩的东西。我自己本身也不是多理性的人，做事情比较随性，目的性不够强，所以一直都不会太作选择题。
当时普遍英语好的人不多，我想着要是小小年纪有本中英对照的版本可能会更好，我的少年时光可能会不同。暑期不会很无聊，上学期间也不会很厌烦。总比看漫画和武侠打发时光要好得多。那会家境好的人，总是能更多地获取信息，然后炫耀着给家境不好的同学。我又看了什么什么之类的话。读了圣经的话，可能就不以此为满足了，也同时可以避免很多已经犯了的罪。
感恩在圣灵的保守下，我依然有着小孩子一样的心，如饥如渴的爱慕圣经的话，圣经里面应许的主并未让我失望，从第一次祷告到如今，我成了何等不同的人。没有什么神秘的信息，而是神通过人来行事，通过各种事情来改变我的心，我所经历和他在圣经对他自己百姓的呼召，看顾，保守，怜悯，慈爱，拯救一点都没有变。这一切是我所要经历的，我相信大多数的基督徒也都有同样的感受。
成圣不光是整个教会的事，也是个人在基督里要被做成的事，如经上所记，
“我们原是他的工作，在基督耶稣里造成的，为要叫我们行善，就是神所预备叫我们行的”
以弗所书 2:10，和合本1919
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
