Chapter 3

長老用按手的方式,按立祭司和教師。約主後四○一年至四二一年。

Elders ordain priests and teachers by the laying on of hands. About A.D.401–21.

1 門徒被稱為教會的長老,他們按立祭司和教師的方式如下──

1 The manner which the disciples, who were called the aelders of the church, bordained cpriests and teachers—

2 他們奉基督的名向父禱告後,就按手在他們頭上,說:

2 After they had prayed unto the Father in the name of Christ, they alaid their hands upon them, and said:

3 我奉耶穌基督的名,按立你為祭司,(如果是教師,則按立你為教師),去宣講悔改,和經由耶穌基督及藉著對祂名的信心持守到底而來的赦罪。阿們。

3 In the name of Jesus Christ I ordain you to be a priest (or if he be a ateacher, I ordain you to be a teacher) to preach repentance and bremission of sins through Jesus Christ, by the endurance of faith on his name to the end. Amen.

4 他們按照神給世人的恩賜和召喚,用這種方式按立了祭司和教師;他們藉著在他們裡面聖靈的力量按立了他們。

4 And after this manner did they aordain priests and teachers, according to the bgifts and callings of God unto men; and they ordained them by the cpower of the Holy Ghost, which was in them.
