林后四10~12　身体上常带着耶稣的治死，使耶稣的生命也显明在我们的身体上。因为我们这活着的人，是常为耶稣被交于死，使耶稣的生命，也在我们这必死的肉身上显明出来。这样，死是在我们身上发动，生命却在你们身上发动。

　　我们是因着神加到我们里面，因着有更多神的元素加到我们里面而更新。我已经过了六十多年基督徒的生活，我能见证什么是真实的基督徒生活。真实的基督徒生活乃是在早晨、在晚上，天天都有神加到我们里面。……神的心意是要我们日日得更新。为要得更新，我们需要神每日新鲜地加增到我们里面。我们每日需要接触神，将自己向祂敞开，让祂进到我们里面，逐日新鲜地加增到我们里面（日日在更新，二○、二二页）。

　　2 Cor. 4:10-12 Always bearing about in the body the putting to death of Jesus that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. For we who are alive are always being delivered unto death for Jesus' sake that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. So then death operates in us, but life in you.

　　We are renewed by the addition of God into our being, by having more of the divine element added into our being. I have been living the Christian life for over sixty years, and I can testify concerning what the real Christian life is. The real Christian life is to have God added into us morning and evening and day by day. God's intention is for us to be renewed day by day. In order to be renewed, we need the new addition of God into us daily. Daily we need to contact God, open ourselves up to Him, and let Him come into us to be a new addition into us day by day. (CWWL, 1989, vol. 2, "Being Renewed Day by Day," pp. 359, 361)

　　神加到我们里面时，祂不是只留在那里什么也不作。……神是在我们里面运行〔腓二13〕。……神在我们里面运行，加力给我们。……在这神圣的元素里，有更新的性能。……我们需要天天享受在复活里神圣生命更新的性能。……这就是为什么我们必须学习向自己死。……每早晨我们必须接触主。首先，我们必须认罪。其次，我们必须拒绝己。我们拒绝己的时候，就经过基督的死，基督的死也杀死我们。在林后四章，保罗说到“耶稣的治死”（10）。就积极的意义说，这是指耶稣一直在杀死我们。今天许多药物里面，有医治的元素，也有杀死的元素，能杀灭我们里面有害的细菌。在耶稣里面有杀死的元素。祂是医治我们、点活我们并杀死我们里面一切消极事物的药剂。

　　神有最好的供备，帮助我们得更新。头一项供备乃是十字架，就是耶稣的治死。按林后四章，保罗常常在十字架（主的死）的杀死之下。十字架是为我们成就更新的最大帮助。……第二项供备乃是圣灵。提多书三章五节说到“圣灵的更新”。我们有圣灵在我们里面。祂主要的工作先是重生我们，然后日日更新我们。……神赐给我们的第三项供备乃是我们调和的灵，就是我们人灵与神灵调和的灵。在我们人的灵里，有圣灵居住、工作并且更新我们。……我们的灵是我们得更新的所在〔参弗四23〕。我们调和的灵扩展到我们的心思里，就成了我们心思的灵。在这样的灵里，我们得以更新，使我们得以变化。

　　除了十字架、圣灵和我们的灵以外，我们还有圣言〔神的话〕。身体的头借着话中之水的洗涤洁净召会，就是祂的身体（弗五26）。因为我研究圣经很久了，我能记得像马太一章、罗马八章这样的章节。我只要思想这些章节的内容，就得着洗涤。我想到罗马八章四节—照着灵而行—我就得着洗涤。我们都需要日日得着话中之水的洗涤。

　　每逢我们来赴主的筵席，我们需要更新。……〔主〕设立的筵席是新的，祂在祂父的国里吃喝的筵席也是新的。我们必须在新样里，在新样的原则里来赴主的筵席。我们怎样能在新样里来赴主的筵席？我们要知道，任何消极的事物都是旧样的缘由或因素。消极的事物叫我们成为老旧。……我们……需要彻底的认罪和彻底……对付〔一切消极的事物〕。另一件使我们老旧的事，就是不赦免别人。要常常赦免人（太十八21~22、35，弗四32，五2），也要常常寻求得赦免（太五23~24）（日日在更新，二三至二四、一○至一三页）。

　　When God is added into us, He does not just remain there, doing nothing.... God is operating within us [Phil. 2:13].... God is operating in us, energizing in us,... and in this divine element there is the renewing capacity.... We need to enjoy the renewing capacity of the divine life in resurrection day by day. This is why we have to learn to die to ourselves....Every morning we should contact the Lord. First, we have to confess our sins. Second, we have to reject ourselves. In rejecting ourselves, we pass through the death of Christ, and the death of Christ kills us. In 2 Corinthians 4, Paul talks about "the putting to death of Jesus" (v. 10). This means that Jesus, in a positive sense, is always killing us. In many medicines today there is a healing element and a killing element that kills the bad germs and bacteria within us. In Jesus there is the killing element. He is our medication to heal us, enliven us, and kill all the negative things within us.

　　God has the best provisions to help us to receive the renewing. The first provision is the cross, the putting to death of Jesus. According to 2 Corinthians 4, Paul was always under the killing of the cross, the Lord's death. The cross is the greatest help to accomplish the renewing for us. The second provision is the Holy Spirit. Titus 3:5 speaks of the "renewing of the Holy Spirit." We have the Holy Spirit within us. His main work is first to regenerate us and then to renew us every day....The third provision God gave us is our mingled spirit, our human spirit mingled with the divine Spirit. In our human spirit, the Holy Spirit dwells, works, and renews us....Our spirit is the place where we receive the renewing [cf. Eph. 4:23]. Our mingled spirit spreads into our mind, thus becoming the spirit of our mind. It is in such a spirit that we are renewed for our transformation.

　　In addition to the cross, the Holy Spirit, and our spirit, we have the holy Word. The Head of the Body cleanses the church, His Body, by the washing of the water in the word (Eph. 5:26). Because I have studied the Bible for such a long time, I can recall chapters such as Matthew 1 and Romans 8. When I just think about the contents of these chapters, I get washed. When I think about Romans 8:4—to walk according to the spirit—I get washed. We all need to receive the washing of the water in the word daily.

　　Whenever we come to the Lord's table, we need renewing....The table He set up was new, and the table He will take in the kingdom of His Father will be new [Matt. 26:29]. We have to come to the Lord's table in a new way, in the principle of newness. How can we come to the table in newness? We need to realize that anything negative is a cause and a factor of oldness. Negative things cause us to be old. We need a thorough confession [of] and...dealing [with all the negative things]. Another thing that makes us old is not forgiving others. Always forgive people (Matt. 18:21-22,35; Eph. 4:32; 5:2), and always seek to be forgiven (Matt. 5:23-24). (CWWL, 1989, vol. 2, "Being Renewed Day by Day," pp. 361-362,351-353)
