伍 摩西作申言者乃是基督这真申言者的预表，他可能发表一些自己的感觉，但甚至这些也成了神的话；他在申命记中的说话，就像保罗在林前七章的说话一样： |
Ⅴ As a prophet typifying Christ as the true Prophet, Moses might have spoken something of his own feeling, but even this became the word of God; his speaking in Deuteronomy was like Paul’s speaking in 1 Corinthians 7: |
一 因着保罗是被神构成的人，至终他的意见成了新约神圣启示里神的话的一部分： |
Ａ Because Paul was a man constituted with God, his opinion became a part of God’s word as the divine revelation in the New Testament: |
１ 保罗在说话时与神是一；所以，他的说话就是神的说话—六17，七25。 |
１ In his speaking, Paul was one with God; therefore, what he spoke was God’s speaking—6:17; 7:25. |
２ 摩西在申命记里的说话，原则也一样。 |
２ The principle is the same with Moses’ speaking in Deuteronomy. |
二 林前七章表达一个爱主之人的灵，他关切主在地上的权益，绝对为着主，与主是一，并且在各面都顺从、服从神，满意于神和祂所安排的环境。 |
Ｂ First Corinthians 7 conveys the spirit of a person who loves the Lord, who cares for the Lord’s interests on earth, who is absolutely for the Lord and one with the Lord, and who in every respect is obedient, submissive, and satisfied with God and the circumstances arranged by Him. |

林前七12 我对其余的人说，不是主说，倘若某弟兄有不信的妻子，妻子也情愿和他同住，他就不要离弃妻子。 25 关于童身的人，我没有主的命令，但我既蒙主怜悯成为忠信的，就提出我的意见。 摩西在申命记里所说的每一句话都是神的话。摩西可能发表一些自己的感觉，但甚至这些也成了神的话。他在申命记中的说话，就像保罗在林前七章的说话一样。在那一章里，保罗说，“我没有主的命令，但我既蒙主怜悯成为忠信的，就提出我的意见。”（25）他发表了意见之后就说，“我想我也有神的灵了。”（40）因着保罗是被神构成的人，至终他的意见也成了新约神圣启示里神的话的一部分。他在说话时与神是一；所以，他的说话就是神的说话（申命记生命读经，一六页）。 |
1 Cor. 7:12 But to the rest I say, I, not the Lord, If any brother has an unbelieving wife and she consents to dwell with him, he must not leave her. 25 Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord, but I give my opinion as one who has been shown mercy by the Lord to be faithful. Every word spoken by Moses in Deuteronomy was God’s word. Moses might have expressed something of his own feeling, but even this became the word of God. His speaking in Deuteronomy was like Paul’s speaking in 1 Corinthians 7. In that chapter Paul said, “I have no commandment of the Lord, but I give my opinion as one who has been shown mercy by the Lord to be faithful” (v. 25). Later, after expressing his opinion, he said, “I think that I also have the Spirit of God” (v. 40). Eventually, because Paul was a man constituted with God, his opinion became a part of God’s word as the divine revelation in the New Testament. In his speaking he was one with God; therefore, what he spoke was God’s speaking. (Life-study of Deuteronomy, p. 14) |

看见在一切环境、情况和光景里都绝对与主是一的这个原则，是很要紧的。我们读林前七章时若留意这原则，就会看见保罗完全与主是一；在他的教导和答复中，他自然而然、不知不觉就表达这样绝对的灵。因为保罗有这种灵，他就能清楚、绝对的答复哥林多人的问题，帮助他们也在他们的情况里与神成为一。 保罗的答复与婚姻顾问所给的答复很不相同。婚姻顾问所给的劝勉显示他们是向神独立的，甚至是背叛神的。他们在教导、劝勉并答复时，是全然离开神的。反之，保罗绝对在神之下，为着神，并与神是一。 本章所启示另一个非常要紧的点是：凡是爱主、为着祂并与祂是一的人，必须愿意接受任何一种环境或情况。例如，弟兄不信的妻子若愿留下，他就该接受这情况。但她若定意离去，他也该接受这环境。 我们看见神总是在我们的环境里，这是非常要紧的。我们可以说，环境实际上是化装的神临到我们。表面上我们在某种环境里；实际上那环境是神临到我们，是神与我们同在。在二十四节保罗说，“弟兄们，你们各人是在什么身分里蒙召，仍要与神一同留在这身分里。”请注意“与神一同”，这辞指明我们接受环境，就是接受神。神在环境里面，也在环境背后。 我们再次看见，保罗有一个绝佳的灵，一个服从、知足且满足的灵。保罗没有抱怨。在他的灵里，他非常服从并满意于他的情况。无论他受到怎样的对待，他总不抱怨。对他而言，每个情况都出于主，他不会发起任何事情改变情况。保罗能说，“对我而言，一切都为我效力，叫我得益处。这就是我不愿改变任何事情的原因。我知道我接受我的环境，就是接受我的神。在每个情况里都有我的神，我所爱、我所完全属于的一位。”在这态度里展现何等绝佳的灵！ 我宝贵林前七章，主要的不是因着这一章所给的一切答复，乃是因为本章表达一个人的灵，这个人爱主，关切主在地上的权益，绝对为着主，与主是一，并且在各面都顺从、服从神，满意于神和祂所安排的环境（哥林多前书生命读经，四四五至四四七页）。 参读：哥林多前书生命读经，第四十二至四十三篇。 |
It is important to see this principle of being absolutely one with the Lord in all circumstances, situations, and conditions. If we are mindful of this principle as we read 1 Corinthians 7, we shall see that Paul is utterly one with the Lord and that in his instructions and answers he spontaneously and unconsciously expresses such an absolute spirit. Because Paul had this kind of spirit, he could answer the Corinthians’ questions in a clear and absolute way, in a way that would help them also to become one with God in their situation. Paul’s answers are very different from those given by marriage counselors. The advice given by marriage counselors reveals that they are independent of God and even rebellious against Him. In their instructions, advice, and answers they are altogether apart from God. Paul, on the contrary, was absolutely under God, for God, and one with God. Another very important point revealed in this chapter is that those who love the Lord, who are for Him, and who are one with Him must be willing to accept any kind of circumstance or situation. For example, if a brother’s unbelieving wife desires to remain with him, he should accept this situation. But if she decides to leave, he should also accept this circumstance. It is very important for us to see that God is always in our circumstances. We may say that the circumstances are actually God coming to us in disguise. Apparently we are in a particular circumstance; actually that circumstance is God coming to us and God with us. In verse 24 Paul says, “Each one, brothers, in what status he was called, in this let him remain with God.” Notice the words “with God.” They indicate that when we take our circumstances, we take God. Both within the circumstances and behind them, God is present. Once again we see that Paul had an excellent spirit, a spirit which was submissive, content, and satisfied. Paul did not have any complaints. In his spirit he was very submissive and content with his situation. No matter how he was treated, he did not complain. To him, every situation was of the Lord, and he would not initiate anything to change it. Paul could say, “To me, everything works for good. This is the reason I don’t want to change anything. I know that when I take my circumstances, I take my God. In every situation is my God, the One whom I love and the One to whom I belong absolutely.” What an excellent spirit is displayed in this attitude! I appreciate 1 Corinthians 7 not primarily for all the answers it gives, but because this chapter conveys the spirit of a person who loves the Lord, who cares for the Lord’s interests on earth, who is absolutely for the Lord and one with the Lord, and who in every respect is obedient, submissive, and satisfied with God and the circumstances arranged by Him.
