林前十四23　所以若全召会聚在一处的时候…。

　　26　　　　　弟兄们，这却怎么样？每逢你们聚在一起的时候，各人或有诗歌，或有教训，或有启示，或有方言，或有翻出来的话，凡事都当为建造。

　　有运用属灵恩赐以造就人的聚会。（林前十四26~35。）在这种…聚集中，不是有一个专人一定作什么，乃是每个人都运用属灵的恩赐。人人都可有分，目标是为着建造人，造就人。…林前十四章二十六节指明，运用属灵恩赐以造就人的聚集，乃是彼此互相的。（新约总论第七册，一八六页。）

　　1 Cor. 14:23 If therefore the whole church comes together in one place…

　　26 What then, brothers? Whenever you come together, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for building up.

　　There is the gathering for edification by exercising the spiritual gifts (1 Cor. 14:26-35). In this kind of gathering,… there is not one special person doing a specific thing, but everyone is exercising the spiritual gifts. Each one may participate with the goal of building up and edifying others. First Corinthians 14:26 indicates that the gathering for edification by exercising the spiritual gifts is a gathering in mutuality. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, p. 2205)

　　‘有’字，在林前十四章二十六节中提了五次，原文是一个广泛使用，有多种意义的字，以下是其中主要的三种：（一）持有，占有，守住（某物）；（二）有（某物）作为享受；（三）有作某事的方法或能力。头二种应当适用于本节所列举五件事的前三件—诗歌、教训、启示，第三种应当适用于后二件—说方言和翻方言。这指明我们来到召会的聚会中，该有一些出于主的东西与别人分享：或有诗歌赞美主；或有（教师的）教训，将基督的丰富供应人，好造就并滋养人；或有申言者的启示，（30，）给人看见神永远定旨的异象，就是关于基督是神的奥秘，以及召会是基督的奥秘；或有方言，给不信的人作表记，（22，）使他们认识并接受基督；或有翻出来的话，使论到基督和祂身体的方言，成为人明白的话。我们来聚会之前，应当对主有经历，对主的话有享受，并且在祷告中和主有交通，使我们有前文所说那些从主而来，并出于主的东西，借着这些，我们就能为聚会预备自己。到了会中，我们就不需要，也不该等候灵感，乃该运用灵，使用受过训练的心思尽功用，摆上我们所预备的，使主得着荣耀和满足，并使与会者得着益处，就是得着光照、滋养和建造。

　　这种彼此互相的聚会就像古时的住棚节，以色列人将美地的出产，就是他们经营那地所得的收获，带来过节献给主，好在与主的交通并彼此的交通中，让主有享受，也彼此在主面前有享受。我们必须经营基督，就是我们的美地，使我们从祂的丰富收获出产，带到召会的聚会中献上。这样，召会的聚会就是展览基督的丰富，也是全体与会者在神面前并同着神，彼此分享基督，使众圣徒与召会得着建造。

　　根据新约，召会的聚会完全是彼此互相的聚会。在林前十四章二十六节，…不是仅仅一人或少数人尽功用；反之，是众人彼此互相尽功用。希伯来十章二十五节鼓励我们不可放弃聚会，倒要‘彼此劝勉’。…彼此互相（而非个人）应当普遍的实行。

　　正确的召会聚会，必须在两件事上是独特的—彼此互相和说话，就是说真实、积极、滋养、和造就的话。…每位圣徒都有同等的权利和机会说基督，为基督说话，并说出基督。（新约总论第七册，一八六至一八八页。）

　　Has, used five times in 1 Corinthians 14:26, is the translation of the Greek word echo, a word widely used, with many meanings, three of which are the main ones: (1) to hold, to possess, to keep a certain thing; (2) to have a certain thing for enjoyment; (3) to have the means or power to do a thing. The first two meanings should be applied to the first three of the five things listed in this verse—a psalm, a teaching, a revelation—and the third meaning to the last two—a tongue and an interpretation of a tongue. This indicates that when we come to the church meeting, we should have something of the Lord to share with others, whether a psalm to praise the Lord, a teaching (of the teacher) to minister the riches of Christ to edify and nourish others, a revelation (of the prophet, v. 30) to give visions of God’s eternal purpose concerning Christ as God’s mystery and the church as Christ’s mystery, a tongue as a sign to the unbelievers (v. 22) that they may know and accept Christ, or an interpretation to make a tongue concerning Christ and His Body understandable. Before coming to the meeting, we should prepare ourselves for the meeting with things like these from the Lord and of the Lord, either through our experience of Him or through our enjoyment of His word and fellowship with Him in prayer. After coming into the meeting, we should not wait for inspiration; there is no need to wait. We should exercise our spirit and use our trained mind to function in presenting what we have been prepared with to the Lord for His glory and satisfaction and to the saints for their benefit—enlightening, nourishing, and building up.

　　This meeting in mutuality may be compared to the Feast of Tabernacles in ancient times. In that feast the children of Israel brought the produce of the good land, which they reaped from their labor on the land, to the feast and offered it to the Lord for His enjoyment and for mutual participation in fellowship with the Lord and with one another. We must labor on Christ, our good land, that we may reap some produce of His riches to bring to the church meeting to offer. Thus, the church meeting will be an exhibition of Christ in His riches and a mutual enjoyment of Christ shared by all the attendants with one another before God and with God for the building up of the saints and the church.

　　According to the New Testament, the church meeting is altogether a meeting in mutuality…. [In 1 Corinthians 14:26] there is not simply one or a few who function; on the contrary, all function in mutuality. Hebrews 10:25 encourages us not to stay away from the meetings but to be “exhorting one another.”… Mutuality, not individuality, should be prevailing.

　　A proper church meeting, therefore, must be unique in two things—in mutuality and in speaking, a speaking that is genuine, positive, nourishing, and edifying…. Every saint should have the equal right and opportunity to speak concerning Christ, to speak for Christ, and to speak forth Christ. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 2205-2207)
