1Do you see any connections between the messages in general conference and Paul’s Epistle to the Ephesians?
1你看到總會大會信息與保羅致以弗所人書信之間是否有任何關聯？
2When the gospel began to spread in Ephesus, it caused “no small stir” (Acts 19:23) among the Ephesians.
2福音一開始在以弗所傳開時，在以弗所人中間引起的「擾亂不小」（使徒行傳19：23）。
3Local craftsmen who produced shrines to a pagan goddess saw Christianity as a threat to their livelihood, and soon “they were full of wrath, … and the whole city was filled with confusion” (see Acts 19:27–29).
3當地建造異教女神神廟的工匠，視基督教為他們謀生事業的一大威脅，於是他們很快就「怒氣填胸，……滿城都轟動起來」（見使徒行傳19：27-29）。
4Imagine being a new convert to the gospel in such a setting.
4想像一下在這樣的環境下，身為福音的新歸信者會如何呢？
5Many Ephesians did accept and live the gospel amid this “uproar” (Acts 19:40), and Paul assured them that “Christ … is our peace” (Ephesians 2:13–14).
5許多以弗所人確實在這樣的「擾亂」（使徒行傳19：40）中接受並奉行福音，而保羅向他們保證，「基督……〔會〕使我們和睦」（以弗所書2：13-14）。
6These words, along with his invitation to “let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away” (Ephesians 4:31) seem as timely and comforting now as they were then.
6保羅的這段話連同他所提出的邀請：「〔讓〕一切苦毒、惱恨、忿怒、嚷鬧、毀謗，……都當……除掉」（以弗所書4：31），不僅在當時很受用，在今日也同樣能帶給人安慰。
7For the Ephesians, as for you, the strength to face adversity comes “in the Lord, and in the power of his might” (Ephesians 6:10–13).
7無論對以弗所人或是對你而言，面對反對勢力的力量來自於「主，〔和〕倚賴他的大能大力」（以弗所書6：10-13）。
8Paul spoke of the Saints being “predestinated” by God and “chosen … before the foundation of the world” to be His people.
8保羅談到有些聖徒被神「預定」，「從創立世界以前，……〔就已蒙〕揀選」成為祂的子民。
9As President Henry B. Eyring has noted, the fact that so many people live and die without the chance to receive the gospel causes some to “conclude that God must have determined in advance which of His children He would save and made the gospel available to them, while those who never heard the gospel simply were not ‘chosen.’
9亨利·艾寧會長說，由於有非常多的人活在世上時並沒有機會接受福音就死去，有些人因此就驟下「結論〔說〕，神必定已事先決定祂會拯救祂的哪些兒女，並讓他們獲得福音，而從未聽過福音的人也就是未蒙『揀選』。
10But … God’s plan is much more loving and just than that.
10但……神的計畫遠遠比他們所認為的更為慈愛和公正。
11Our Heavenly Father is anxious to gather and bless all of His family”.
11我們的天父急切地想要聚集祂所有的家人，並且祝福他們」。
12(“Gathering the Family of God,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2017, 20–21)
12（「聚集神的家人」，2017年5月，利阿賀拿，第20-21頁）
13All of God’s children can accept the gospel and its ordinances because of the work performed for the dead in holy temples.
13由於聖殿中為死者所執行的事工，神所有的兒女都可以接受福音及其教儀。
14Although no one is predestined to be saved or not saved, modern revelation teaches that some were chosen or “foreordained” in the premortal world to fulfill certain responsibilities here on earth.
14雖然神並沒有預定誰可以得救，誰不能得救，但現代的啟示教導，有些人在前生就已蒙揀選或「預定」要來世上完成特定的職責。
15This includes the responsibility that all Latter-day Saints have to share the gospel and help all of God’s children on both sides of the veil come to Christ.
15這些職責包括所有後期聖徒都要分享福音，並幫助神在帷幕兩邊所有的兒女歸向基督。
16(See “Foreordination,” Gospel Topics, topics.lds.org.)
16（見「預立」，福音主題，topics.lds.org。）
17Have you ever wondered what “the dispensation of the fulness of times” is or what it means to “gather together in one all things in Christ”?
17你是否曾想過「在日期滿足的時候」指的是什麼？而使「一切所有的都在基督裡面同歸於一」又是什麼意思？
18As you ponder these phrases, read the following scriptures: Ephesians 4:13; 2 Nephi 30:7–8; Doctrine and Covenants 110:11–16; 112:30–32; 128:18–21.

26It is important to note that Paul’s words in Ephesians 5:22 were written in the context of the social customs of his era.
26注意有一點很重要，保羅是依他所處時代的社會風俗背景寫下以弗所書5：22這段話。
27Prophets and apostles today teach that men are not superior to women and that spouses should be “equal partners”.
27今日的先知和使徒教導我們，男人的地位並沒有高於女人，夫妻應是「平等的夥伴」。
28(see “The Family: A Proclamation to the World,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2017, 145)
28（見「家庭：致全世界文告」，2017年5月，利阿賀拿，第145頁）

39Through the latter-day Restoration, God is gathering all things in one, including all the principles and ordinances of the gospel.
39透過後期時代的復興，神將使一切所有的都同歸於一，包含福音的所有原則和教儀。
40To demonstrate this idea, you could hide objects or written phrases around your home that represent things that have been restored in our day.
40為了示範這個概念，你可以將今日已復興的事物用物品來代表，或寫在紙條上，然後把這些物品或紙條藏在家中的每個角落。

42Family members could search for them and “gather” them together.
42家人可以找出這些東西，然後將它們「聚集」起來。

45Your family might enjoy building walls out of pillows or other objects you have at home and then knocking them down.

49「神的軍裝」（LDS.org）這部影片可以幫助家人對軍裝有具體的概念，他們可以在「神的全副軍裝」（2016年6月，利阿賀拿，第70-71頁）這篇文章中找到簡單的說明。
