叁 圣经里的圣别有三方面： |
Ⅲ There are three aspects of sanctification in the Scriptures: |
一 在蒙神拣选之人悔改并相信以前，有那灵寻找他们的圣别—彼前一2。 |
Ａ There is the Spirit's sanctification in seeking the God-chosen people before they repent and believe—1 Pet. 1:2. |
二 在信徒相信时，有借基督之血地位上的圣别—来十三12，九13~14，十29。 |
Ｂ There is the positional sanctification by the blood of Christ at the time of the believers' believing—Heb. 13:12; 9:13-14; 10:29. |
三 在信徒一生的基督徒生活中，有那灵性质上的圣别—帖前五23~24，罗十五16下，六19，22，参五10，启二二14，彼后一4。 |
Ｃ There is the Spirit's dispositional sanctification in the believers' full course of their Christian life—1 Thes. 5:23-24; Rom. 15:16b; 6:19, 22; cf. 5:10; Rev. 22:14; 2 Pet. 1:4. |
肆 为着神圣儿子名分之神圣的圣别，乃是神圣经纶的中心，也是新约里启示的中心思想： |
Ⅳ The divine sanctification for the divine sonship is the center of the divine economy and the central thought of the revelation in the New Testament: |
一 神圣的圣别，在完成神圣的经纶上，是主持的线，为要神圣的使我们子化，使我们成为神的儿子，在生命和性情上与神一样，但无分于祂的神格，而使我们作神的彰显。 |
Ａ The divine sanctification is the holding line in the carrying out of the divine economy to sonize us divinely, making us sons of God that we may become the same as God in His life and in His nature (but not in His Godhead), so that we may be God's expression. |
二 我们说圣别是主持线，因为神在我们身上的工作，每一步都是使我们成为圣别—约十七17，弗五26~27，林前六11，十二3下，来十二4~14，罗八28~29，弗四30，帖前五19，启二7上，诗七三16~17，25~26： |
Ｂ We say that sanctification is the holding line because every step of God's work with us is to make us holy— John 17:17; Eph. 5:26-27; 1 Cor. 6:11; 12:3b; Heb. 12:4-14; Rom. 8:28-29; Eph. 4:30; 1 Thes. 5:19; Rev. 2:7a; Psa. 73:16-17, 25-26: |
１ 寻找的圣别，也就是初步的圣别，是为着叫我们悔改，把我们带回归神—彼前一2，路十五8~10，17~21，约十六8~11。 |
１ The seeking sanctification, the initial sanctification, is unto repentance to bring us back to God—1 Pet. 1:2; Luke 15:8-10, 17-21; John 16:8-11. |
２ 救赎的圣别，也就是地位上的圣别，是借着基督的血，把我们从亚当迁到基督里—来十三12。 |
２ The redeeming sanctification, the positional sanctification, is by the blood of Christ, to transfer us from Adam to Christ—Heb. 13:12. |
３ 重生的圣别，也就是在性情上圣别的开始，从我们的灵更新我们，使我们这些罪人成为神的儿子—有神圣生命和性情的新造—约一12~13，林后五17，加六15。 |
３ The regenerating sanctification, the beginning of dispositional sanctification, renews us from our spirit to make us, the sinners, sons of God—a new creation with the divine life and nature— John 1:12-13; 2 Cor. 5:17; Gal. 6:15. |
４ 更新的圣别，也就是性情上圣别的继续，从我们的心思到我们魂的各部分，更新我们的魂，使我们的魂成为神新造的一部分—罗十二2下，六4，七6，弗四23，结三六26~27，林后四16~18。 |
４ The renewing sanctification, the continuation of dispositional sanctification, renews our soul from our mind through all the parts of our soul to make our soul a part of God's new creation—Rom. 12:2b; 6:4; 7:6; Eph. 4:23; Ezek. 36:26-27; 2 Cor. 4:16-18. |
５ 变化的圣别，也就是日常的圣别，新陈代谢的用基督的元素把我们重新构成，使我们成为新的构成，作基督生机身体的一部分—林前三12，林后三18。 |
５ The transforming sanctification, the daily sanctification, reconstitutes us with the element of Christ metabolically to make us a new constitution as a part of the organic Body of Christ—1 Cor. 3:12; 2 Cor. 3:18. |
６ 模成的圣别，也就是成形的圣别，将我们形成荣耀之基督的形像，使我们成为基督的彰显—罗八29。 |
６ The conforming sanctification, the shaping sanctification, shapes us in the image of the glorious Christ to make us the expression of Christ—Rom. 8:29. |
７ 得荣的圣别，也就是终极完成的圣别，借着把我们的身体改变形状，而救赎我们的身体，使我们在荣耀里完满的成为基督的彰显—腓三21，罗八23。 |
７ The glorifying sanctification, the consummating sanctification, redeems our body by transfiguring it to make us Christ's expression in full and in glory— Phil. 3:21; Rom. 8:23. |
三 神圣的、性情上的圣别，乃是由基督作为那圣化人的灵，在我们的灵里所施行的—十五16，八4。 |
Ｃ The divine, dispositional sanctification is carried out by Christ as the sanctifying Spirit in our spirit—15:16b; 8:4. |

彼前一2 就是照着父神的先见被拣选，借着那灵得圣别，以致顺从耶稣基督，并蒙祂血所洒的人…。 来二11 因那圣别人的，和那些被圣别的，都是出于一；因这缘故，祂称他们为弟兄，并不以为耻…。 神在已过的永远里立了一个经纶，在那个经纶里祂定规要得着许多儿子。祂造人以后，人堕落了。然后灵神来圣别人。（彼前一2。）我们失落在亚当里、在罪里、并在死里。…但那灵来把我们寻找出来，祂找着我们，…这是寻找的圣别，结果叫我们悔改，把我们带回归神。（路十五17~21。） 救赎的圣别，地位上的圣别，是借着基督的血，（来十三12，）把我们从亚当迁移到基督里。这改变了我们原来所在的地方。这是地位上的圣别，与我们的性质毫无关系。（那灵同我们的灵，一四二至一四三页。） |
1 Pet. 1:2 Chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father in the sanctification of the Spirit unto the obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ… Heb. 2:11 For both He who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of One, for which cause He is not ashamed to call them brothers. God in eternity past made an economy, and in that economy He decided to have many sons. After He created man, man became fallen. Then God the Spirit came to sanctify man (1 Pet. 1:2). We were lost in Adam, in sin, and in death…. But the Spirit came to seek us out, and He found us….This seeking sanctification resulted in our repentance to bring us back to God (Luke 15:17-21). The redeeming sanctification, the positional sanctification, is through the blood of Christ (Heb. 13:12) to transfer us from Adam to Christ. This changed the place where we were. This is the positional sanctification, having nothing to do with our disposition. (CWWL, 1993, vol. 2, “The Spirit with Our Spirit,” p. 222) |

我们的重生是一种圣别。重生是性情上之圣别的开始，从我们的灵更新我们。（林后五17。）神从我们全人的最中心—我们的灵，更新我们。 更新的圣别，是从我们的心思到我们魂的各部分，更新我们的魂，（罗十二2下，弗四23，）借此继续在性情上圣别我们。…我们的魂有三部分：心思、情感和意志。 以弗所四章二十三节说到我们在心思的灵里得以更新。这意思就是，我们重生的灵进到我们的心思里，使我们的魂全然被更新。这使我们的魂成为神新造的一部分。（加六15。）我们的灵已经成为神新造的一部分，但我们的魂还没有。借着更新，我们的魂将被作成神新造的一部分。 林后四章十六节说，我们外面的人，我们的旧人，天天在毁坏，我们里面的人，我们的新人，却日日在更新。…我们整个的环境，包括我们周围的人，乃是神用来更新我们的最好工具。祂时时以神圣的元素，在我们里面新陈代谢的变化我们。 变化的圣别乃是日常的圣别，新陈代谢的用基督的元素把我们重新构成，使我们成为新的构成，作基督生机身体的一部分。（林前三12。）这是一种重新构成，排除旧的东西，加入基督的元素作新的代替。模成的圣别就是成形的圣别，将我们形成荣耀之基督的形像。（林后三18。）…果树里面有生命成形的原则。每一种生命都有一种规律。…我们彰显基督，因为圣别人的灵已使我们成形。 得荣的圣别乃是完成的圣别，终极完成的圣别，借着把我们的身体改变形状，而救赎我们的身体。（腓三21。）我们卑贱并堕落的身体要蒙救赎，脱离疾病、软弱、死亡、情欲和罪恶，使我们在荣耀里完满的成为基督的彰显。（罗八23。）这时，神的救恩和神的圣别，为着完成神的经纶，就达到最高的层次。这是关于神圣圣别七个步骤的启示。…全然是作三一神具体化身的基督那终极完成、复合、赐生命、内住之灵的细致工作。（那灵同我们的灵，一四三至一四五页。） 参读：经过过程的神圣三一之分赐与超越基督之输供的结果，第一至三章；罗马书中的生命救恩，第三篇。 |
Our regeneration is a kind of sanctification. Regeneration is the beginning of the dispositional sanctification to renew us from our spirit (2 Cor. 5:17). God renewed us from the very center of our being, which is our spirit. The renewing sanctification continues our dispositional sanctification by renewing our soul from our mind through all the parts of our soul (Rom. 12:2b; Eph. 4:23)….Our soul has three parts: the mind, emotion, and will. Ephesians 4:23 speaks of our being renewed in the spirit of our mind. This means that our regenerated spirit has entered into our mind to make us renewed entirely in our soul. This makes our soul a part of God’s new creation (Gal. 6:15). Our spirit has become a part of God’s new creation but not our soul. Through the renewing, our soul will be made a part of God’s new creation. Second Corinthians 4:16 says that day by day our outer man, our old man, is decaying, and our inner man, our new man, is being renewed….Our entire environment, including the people around us, is the best instrument used by God to renew us. He is transforming us inwardly and metabolically with the divine element all the time. The transforming sanctification is the daily sanctification, which reconstitutes us with the element of Christ metabolically to make us a new constitution as a part of the organic Body of Christ (1 Cor. 3:12). This is a kind of reconstitution, to discharge the old and to add in the new replacement of the element of Christ. The conforming sanctification is the shaping sanctification to shape us in the image of the glorious Christ (2 Cor. 3:18). A fruit tree has the shaping principle of life within it…. In every life there is a regulating law….We express Christ because we have been shaped by the sanctifying Spirit. The glorifying sanctification is the consummating sanctification, the completing sanctification to redeem our body by transfiguring it (Phil. 3:21). Our vile and fallen body will be redeemed from sickness, from weakness, from death, and from lust and sinfulness to make us Christ’s expression in full and in glory (Rom. 8:23). At this point God’s salvation and God’s sanctification to carry out God’s economy have reached the highest level. This is the revelation of the divine sanctification in seven steps…. [It] is altogether the fine work of the consummated, compound, life-giving, and indwelling Spirit of Christ, the embodiment of the Triune God.
