林前七40 然而，按我的意见，她若守节更是有福；但我想我也有神的灵了。

　　　　六17 但与主联合的，便是与主成为一灵。

　　林前七章是奥秘、深邃的。在本章保罗从未说“耶和华如此说”这句话。保罗没有用这样的发表，原因是新约中使徒的教训全然是基于话成肉体的原则。照着这原则，神在人的说话中说话。……主耶稣对法利赛人说话时，似乎祂是平凡的拿撒勒人，没有迹象显示祂与众不同，并且法利赛人认为祂是没有学问的人。但主耶稣乃是成为肉体的神，在祂有成为肉体的实际。因此，祂说话的时候，神也说话。事实上，祂说话就是神说话。神与祂一同说话。这就是说，在主耶稣身上，神与人一同说话如同一位。这是话成肉体的原则（哥林多前书生命读经，四四九至四五○页）。

　　1 Cor. 7:40 But she is more blessed if she so remains, according to my opinion; but I think that I also have the Spirit of God.

　　6:17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit.

　　First Corinthians 7 is mysterious and deep. In this chapter Paul never utters the words, “Thus saith the Lord.” The reason Paul does not use such an expression is that the apostles’ teaching in the New Testament is altogether based on the principle of incarnation. According to this principle, God speaks in man’s speaking….When the Lord Jesus spoke to the Pharisees, it seems that He was an ordinary person from Nazareth. There was no indication that He was different, and the Pharisees regarded Him as a man without learning. But the Lord Jesus is God incarnate. With Him there is the reality of incarnation. Thus, while He was speaking, God spoke also. Actually, His speaking was God’s speaking. God spoke with Him. This means that in the Lord Jesus God and man spoke together as one. This is the principle of incarnation. (Life-study of 1 Corinthians, p. 378)

　　五旬节那天，使徒和门徒也开始照着话成肉体的原则说话。彼得、约翰和保罗的著作能记载在圣经里，成为神的话，原因就在这里。不但如此，这些话也在新约的内容当中。虽然保罗在林前七章写着，他所说的有些事不是主的话或主的命令，但保罗在本章所说的一切都成了新约神圣启示的一部分。这是因为保罗乃是绝对与神是一的人。……因为保罗与主是一，他说话时，主就与他一同说话。因此，在林前七章的保罗身上，我们有话成肉体这原则的例子。

　　我要再强调摸着保罗在林前七章的灵的重要。在保罗答复哥林多信徒所提的问题时，他发表了他的灵。这使我们有可能感觉他的灵。保罗的确绝对为着主，并与祂是一。他甚至在发表他的意见时，仍感觉他也有神的灵。这就是新约的教训，是我们今天该跟随的路。不要跟随灵恩派模仿旧约申言方式的肤浅作法。反之，要跟随保罗的路，摸着新约奥秘的深处。这奥秘就是主与我们，我们与主，已经成为一灵（哥林多前书生命读经，四五○、四五六页）。

　　林前七章所启示的属灵经历，是再深不过的了。这里有一个人告诉我们，他没有主的命令，他发表自己的意见；之后又告诉我们：“我想我也有神的灵了。”〔40〕保罗在这里似乎说，“我对你们说的是我的话，我的意见，我没有从主来的命令。但是我想我还是有神的灵。”

　　如果我们有办法问保罗这件事，他也许会说，“弟兄，我是在实行六章十七节的话。与主联合的，便是与主成为一灵，这说法当然是对的。现在我说，我想我也有神的灵，这就是我在活主。我在这一灵里活主。甚至我向你们发表意见，我还是有主的灵，不过我没有放胆确定地宣称我有那灵。然而只有那些幼稚肤浅的人会很确定地说，他们有神的灵，事实上他们并没有那种把握。但我所说的乃是描述我怎样活主。”如果我们看见这个，就会了解林前七章所描述的东西相当深奥（神圣三一的神圣分赐，三三六至三三七页）。

　　On the day of Pentecost the apostles and disciples also began to speak according to the principle of incarnation. This is the reason the writings of Peter, John, and Paul recorded in the Bible could become God’s words. Furthermore, these words are among the contents of the New Testament. Although Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 7 that certain things he says are not the Lord’s word or the Lord’s commandment, everything spoken by Paul in this chapter has nonetheless become part of the divine revelation in the New Testament. This is because Paul was a person absolutely one with God….Because Paul was one with the Lord, when he spoke, the Lord spoke with him. Thus, with Paul in 1 Corinthians 7 we have an example of the principle of incarnation.

　　I would emphasize the importance of touching Paul’s spirit in 1 Corinthians 7. In his answers to the questions raised by the Corinthian believers, Paul expresses his spirit. This makes it possible for us to sense his spirit. Paul certainly was absolutely for the Lord and one with Him. Even in expressing his opinion, he had the feeling that he also had the Spirit of God. This is the New Testament teaching, and the way we should follow today. Do not follow the superficial Pentecostal way to copy the Old Testament manner of prophesying. Instead, follow Paul’s way to touch the depths of the New Testament mystery. This mystery is that the Lord and we, we and the Lord, have become one spirit. (Life-study of 1 Corinthians, pp. 378-379, 383-384)

　　No spiritual experience is as deep as that revealed in 1 Corinthians 7. Here we have a man who tells us that he does not have the Lord’s commandment. Then he proceeds to give his own opinion. After giving his opinion, he tells us, “I think that I also have the Spirit of God” [v. 40]. Here Paul seems to be saying, “I am giving you my word, my opinion, without any commandment from the Lord. But I think that I nevertheless have the Spirit of God.”

　　If we had been able to question Paul concerning this, he might have replied, “Brother, I am now practicing what I wrote about in 6:17. It is certainly right to say that he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit. Now when I say that I think I also have the Spirit of God, I am living the Lord. I live the Lord in this one spirit. Even when I give you my opinion, I still have the Spirit of the Lord, although I do not have the boldness to declare with assurance that I have the Spirit. However, those who are childish and shallow may say with assurance that they have the Spirit of God. Actually, they do not have that kind of assurance. But what I am saying is a description of my living of the Lord.” If we see this, we will realize that chapter 7 of 1 Corinthians describes something profound.
