林后十一3　我只怕你们的心思或被败坏，失去那向着基督的单纯和纯洁，就像蛇用诡诈诱骗了夏娃一样。

　　林前一9　神是信实的，你们乃是为祂所召，进入了祂儿子我们主耶稣基督的交通。

　　〔林后十一章三节的单纯，〕指信徒对基督一心忠诚，一意忠信。在伊甸园里，因着那蛇撒但的发问，并他对神话语暗中的破坏，亚当的妻子夏娃受了诱骗，就从吃生命树的单纯里，岔到知识树（创三1~6）。……哥林多召会，就是许配给基督贞洁的童女，正受热中犹太教者的诱骗。热中犹太教者，是撒但的差役（林后十一15），借着传另一位耶稣，不同的灵与不同的福音，暗中破坏神的话（4）。因着这种隐含破坏的传扬，使徒恐怕哥林多人会被热中犹太教者的教训岔开，不再真正珍赏、宝爱并享受主耶稣基督宝贵的人位，作他们的生命和一切（圣经恢复本，林后十一3注2）。

　　2 Cor. 11:3 But I fear lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your thoughts would be corrupted from the simplicity and the purity toward Christ.

　　1 Cor. 1:9 God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

　　[In 2 Corinthians 11:3 simplicity refers] to the believers' single-hearted loyalty, single-minded faithfulness, toward Christ. In the garden of Eden, Eve, the wife of Adam, was deceived by the serpent, Satan, through his questioning and undermining of God's word, and was thus carried away to the tree of knowledge and distracted from the simplicity of eating the tree of life (Gen. 3:1-6)....The church in Corinth, the pure virgin betrothed to Christ, was being deceived by the Judaizers, the ministers of Satan (2 Cor. 11:15), who were undermining God's word by preaching another Jesus, a different spirit, and a different gospel (v. 4). Because of this undermining preaching, the apostle was fearful that the Corinthians would be distracted by the teachings of the Judaizers and would be separated from the genuine appreciation, love, and enjoyment of the precious person of the Lord Jesus Christ Himself as their life and their everything. (2 Cor. 11:3, footnote 2)

　　吃生命树，就是享受基督作我们生命的供应，该是召会生活中首要的事。召会生活的内容在于享受基督；我们越享受基督，召会生活的内容就越丰富。我们若要享受基督，就必须用起初的爱爱祂。我们若离弃对主起初的爱，就要失去对基督的享受，并且会失去耶稣的见证；结果，灯台要从我们挪去（圣经恢复本，启二7注6）。

　　哥林多前书是一卷论到享受包罗万有之基督的书（一2、9、24、30）。……在这位基督里有绝对、奇妙、超凡且带着杀死功效的死。在钉死并复活的基督里，有杀死的元素，能杀死我们一切消极的“细菌”。……我们若每日吃基督，享受祂，就会得着滋养，我们里面消极的元素也会被杀死。

　　享受包罗万有的基督，就能借着十字架的工作，解决召会的难处（13上、18、23~24，二2）。我所说的“十字架”，是指基督的死，特别是祂的死主观的一面。我们现今所享受的基督，是包罗万有的一位，有带着杀死功效的死包含在祂的所是里面。我们只要享受祂，就会积极的—不是消极的—被治死。我们每日享受祂，就每日被治死。一位弟兄可能被另一位弟兄很厉害地得罪了，他甚至可能充满了恨，但是当他享受基督的时候，他对另一位弟兄仇恨的细菌，就不知不觉地被杀死了。在婚姻生活里，丈夫得罪妻子，妻子也得罪丈夫。但是当丈夫和妻子天天爱主并享受主的时候，他们对彼此不好的感觉就消失了。这个不好的感觉被他们所经历基督里治死的元素清除了。他们里面因着享受基督，就从恨到爱有了大改变。因着哥林多人有那么多的难处，保罗就写信给他们，说到对基督的享受。这享受会杀死我们里面的细菌，解决我们的难处（建造召会的超越恩赐，三、六至七页）。

　　神已将〔哥林多前书所揭示〕这位至少有二十项丰富的包罗万有者赐给我们，作我们的分，给我们享受。我们该专注于祂，不该专注于祂以外的任何人事物。我们该对准祂，以祂为神所指定我们唯一的中心，使信徒中间一切的难处得以解决。我们蒙了神的呼召，乃是进入这样一位的交通里（圣经恢复本，林前一9注3）。

　　Eating the tree of life, that is, enjoying Christ as our life supply, should be the primary matter in the church life. The content of the church life depends on the enjoyment of Christ. The more we enjoy Him, the richer the content will be. But to enjoy Christ requires us to love Him with the first love. If we leave our first love toward the Lord, we will miss the enjoyment of Christ and lose the testimony of Jesus; consequently, the lampstand will be removed from us. (Rev. 2:7, footnote 6)

　　First Corinthians is a book on the enjoyment of the all-inclusive Christ (1:2, 9, 24, 30)....In this Christ there is an absolute, wonderful, excellent, and killing death. In the crucified and resurrected Christ there is the killing element that kills all our negative "germs."...If we eat Christ every day to enjoy Him, we will be nourished, and the negative elements within us will be killed.

　　The enjoyment of the all-inclusive Christ solves the problems in the church through the work of the cross (1:13a, 18, 23-24; 2:2). By "the cross" I mean the death of Christ, especially the subjective aspect of His death. The Christ whom we enjoy today is the all-inclusive One, and included in His being is the killing death. As long as we enjoy Him, we get killed, not in a negative way but in a positive way. When we enjoy Him every day, we get killed every day. One brother may be very offended by another brother and may even be full of hatred, but when this brother enjoys Christ, his germs of hatred toward the other brother are unconsciously killed. In marriage life the husbands offend the wives and the wives offend the husbands, but when the husbands and wives love the Lord and enjoy the Lord day after day, their bad feeling toward each other disappears. It is cleared up by the killing element within the very Christ whom they experienced. Inside of them there is a great change from hatred to love because of their enjoyment of Christ. Because there were so many problems among the Corinthians, Paul wrote to them concerning the enjoyment of Christ. This enjoyment solves our problems by killing the germs within us. (CWWL, 1988, vol. 4, "The Excelling Gift for the Building Up of the Church," pp. 444, 446-447)

　　This all-inclusive One, with the riches of at least twenty items [revealed in 1 Corinthians], God has given to us as our portion for our enjoyment. We should concentrate on Him, not on any persons, things, or matters other than Him. We should focus on Him as our unique center appointed by God, that all the problems among the believers may be solved. It is into the fellowship of such a One that we have been called by God. (1 Cor. 1:9, footnote 2)
