创二22~23　耶和华神就用那人身上所取的肋骨，建造成一个女人，领她到那人跟前。那人说，这一次这是我骨中的骨，肉中的肉，可以称这为女人，因为这是从男人身上取出来的。

　　林前十二12　就如身体是一个，却有许多肢体，而且身体上一切的肢体虽多，仍是一个身体，基督也是这样。

　　用亚当肋旁取出的肋骨建造成夏娃，预表召会是用复活的生命建造的，这复活的生命乃是基督借着在十字架上的死所释放出来，并在祂的复活里分赐到祂信徒里面的（约十二24，彼前一3）。召会作为真夏娃，乃是基督在祂所有信徒里的总和。唯有那出于基督同祂复活生命的，才能作祂的补满和配偶，就是基督的身体（林前十二12，弗五28~30）（圣经恢复本，创二22注1）。

　　召会一点不差是出于基督的纯产物。……夏娃完全、纯粹是从亚当产生出来的（创二21~24）。……除了亚当的元素以外，在夏娃里面没有别的元素。……〔她〕是亚当完全的复制。亚当和夏娃乃是基督和召会的预表（弗五30~32，创二22~24）。召会也必须只是一种元素—基督的元素。在召会里，除了基督的元素以外，不该有别的元素。这样的异象会使我们为今天的光景哀恸。今天在基督教里，基督的元素微乎其微，反而人能看见基督以外的无数元素。然而，在主的恢复里，召会必须是基督的纯元素。任何基督以外的事物，都不是召会（长老训练第二册，三七至三八页）。

　　Gen. 2:22-23 "And Jehovah God built the rib, which He had taken from the man, into a woman and brought her to the man. And the man said, This time this is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; this one shall be called Woman because out of Man this one was taken"

　　1 Cor. 12:12 "For even as the body is one and has many members, yet all the members of the body, being many, are one body, so also is the Christ."

　　The building of Eve with the rib taken from Adam's side typifies the building of the church with the resurrection life released from Christ through His death on the cross and imparted into His believers in His resurrection (John 12:24; 1 Pet. 1:3). The church as the real Eve is the totality of Christ in all His believers. Only that which comes out of Christ with His resurrection life can be His complement and counterpart, the Body of Christ (1 Cor. 12:12; Eph. 5:28-30). (Gen. 2:22, footnote 1)

　　The church is nothing more than a pure product out of Christ.…Eve was fully, completely, and purely produced out of Adam (Gen. 2:21-24).…Besides the adamic element, there was no other element in Eve.…[She] was a full reproduction of Adam. Adam and Eve are a type of Christ and the church (Eph. 5:30-32; Gen. 2:22-24). The church must also be one element—the element of Christ. Other than Christ's element there should be no other element in the church. Such a vision will cause us to mourn over today's situation. Within Christianity today there is very little of the element of Christ. Instead, innumerable elements other than Christ can be seen. In the Lord's recovery, however, the church must be the pure element of Christ. Anything that is other than Christ is not the church. (CWWL, 1984, vol. 2, “Elders' Training, Book 2: The Vision of the Lord's Recovery, “p. 115)

　　我们必须看见在素质、功用和实行上的召会。……任何天然、肉体或野心的元素，都要被这异象排除。在这异象之下，我们不敢运用我们天然人的东西。在这方面，这样的异象使我们“无能为力”。基督徒多半领悟，召会是一切在基督里信徒的构成，组合。然而，因着主的怜悯，我们……所看见的，是关于召会更高的异象。……夏娃怎样是出于亚当的纯产物，召会照样必须是出于基督的纯产物。也许有人问，今天召会如何能成为这样的夏娃，就是出于基督的纯产物。这就是我们都需要看见异象的原因。你看见异象，你就是夏娃。……这异象排除了基督纯元素以外一切的事物。我们不该仍受传统教训的影响。我们需要异象。我们一旦看见召会是在复活里、在基督里、在诸天界里的异象，就会排除在基督、复活、诸天界以外的一切事物（长老训练第二册，四二至四三页）。

　　基督不仅是身体的头〔西一18〕，也是头的身体（林前十二12）。因着祂是包罗万有的一位，祂是头，也是身体。……照着歌罗西三章十至十一节，在新人里，基督是一切，又在一切之内。这就是说，祂是新人一切的肢体，又在一切肢体之内。……召会作基督的身体，怎能是基督，基督又怎能是新人一切的肢体？……这在于是谁活着。我们若单凭自己活，我们就不是基督。我们若活基督，让基督活在我们里面，那么我们就活在祂里面，并且我们就是基督。……召会若活基督，召会就是基督。我们若都活基督，我们就是基督。基督徒的生活该是这样（一九九○年秋全时间训练信息合辑，一六四至一六五页）。

　　We must see the church in its essence, its function, and its practicality.…Any natural, fleshly, or ambitious element will be ruled out by this vision. Under this vision we do not have the boldness to exercise anything of our natural man. In this respect, such a vision paralyzes us. Most Christians realize that the church is a constitution, a composition, of all the believers in Christ. By the Lord's mercy, however, what we have seen…is a higher vision concerning the church.…Just as Eve was a pure product out of Adam, so the church must be a pure product out of Christ. Someone may ask how the church today could be such an Eve, a pure product out of Christ. This is why we all need to see the vision. When you see the vision, you are Eve.…All things other than the pure element of Christ are ruled out by this vision. This is why we should not remain under the influence of the traditional teachings. We need the vision. When we see the vision that the church is in resurrection, in Christ, and in the heavenlies, it will rule out everything other than Christ, resurrection, and the heavenlies. (CWWL, 1984, vol. 2, “Elders' Training, Book 2:The Vision of the Lord's Recovery, “p. 118)

　　Christ is not only the Head of the Body [Col.1:18] but also the Body of the Head (1 Cor. 12:12). Because He is the all-inclusive One, He is the Head and He is the Body. According to Colossians 3:10-11, in the new man Christ is all and in all. This means that He is all the members of the new man and in all the members.…How the church as the Body of Christ can be Christ and how Christ can be all the members of the new man…depend upon who lives. If we live alone by ourselves, we are not Christ. If we live Christ, letting Christ live in us, then we live in Him, and we are Christ.…If the church lives Christ, the church is Christ. If we all live Christ, we are Christ. The Christian life should be like this. (CWWL, 1990, vol. 2, “Messages to the Trainees in Fall 1990, “pp. 568-569)
