西三16 当用各样的智慧，让基督的话丰丰富富地住在你们里面，用诗章、颂辞、灵歌，彼此教导，互相劝戒，心被恩感歌颂神。

　　约六63 赐人生命的乃是灵，肉是无益的；我对你们所说的话，就是灵，就是生命。

　　接受、经历并享受基督的〔其中〕一条路，乃是借着吃祂所说的话，这话就是灵，就是生命。……基督说话，这话就是灵，而灵乃是生命〔参约六63〕。因此，话、灵、生命是三而一。说话者是经过过程的三一神，祂的说话将经过过程的三一神以话的形式传输到我们里面。这话进到我们里面之后，就成为灵，而灵就是生命。然后，我们将这灵说出去给人，灵对他们就成了话。人接受这话到他们里面时，话又成为灵。然后，当他们将灵说出去给人时，灵又成了话。因此，当我们接受话到我们里面，话就成了灵，而这灵就成了我们的生命。这是三一神传输到我们里面，作我们生命的供应，先是以话的形式，然后以灵的形式，最终以生命的形式。三一神乃是这样成了我们的享受（神圣启示的中心路线，二○五至二○六页）。

　　Col. 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to God.

　　John 6:63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words which I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.

　　A way to receive, experience, and enjoy Christ is to eat the word spoken by Christ as spirit and as life….Christ speaks the word, the word is the Spirit, and the Spirit is life [cf. John 6:63]. Thus, the word, the Spirit, and life are three-in-one. The Speaker of the word is the processed Triune God, and His speaking transmits the processed Triune God into us in the form of the word. After entering into us, this word becomes the Spirit, and the Spirit is life. Then, when we utter this Spirit out to others, the Spirit becomes the word to them. When others receive the word into them, it becomes the Spirit again. Then, when they speak the Spirit out to others, He again becomes the word. Hence, when we receive the word into us, the word becomes the Spirit, and the Spirit becomes our very life. This is the transmission of the Triune God into us as our life supply, first in the form of the word, then in the form of the Spirit, and ultimately in the form of life. In this way the Triune God becomes our enjoyment. (CWWL, 1991-1992, vol. 1, “The Central Line of the Divine Revelation,” p. 479)

　　〔在歌罗西三章十六节〕保罗说，基督的话该住在我们里面，定居在我们里面。这含示基督的话是活的。某样东西要住在我们里面，或定居在我们里面，就必须是活的。

　　保罗在这一节的发表，指明基督的话很像一个活的人位。保罗几乎将基督的话人位化了；他告诉我们，要让基督的话住在我们里面，好像这话是个活的人位。基督的话实际上就是基督这活的人位。不仅如此，照着新约，基督这活的人位就是那灵。耶稣是这人位的名字，而这人位的实际就是那灵。为这缘故，每当我们呼求主耶稣的名，来临的乃是那灵。我们也曾指出，话与灵是一。因此，基督的话住在我们里面时，那灵就定居在我们里面（腓立比书生命读经，四二一至四二二页）。

　　〔在歌罗西三章十六节〕首先我们有基督作我们的生命；然后我们有祂人位化的活话，如同祂的人位住在我们里面。基督的话就是基督所说的话。在神新约的经纶里，神在子里面说话，而子不仅在福音书里亲自说话，也在使徒行传、书信和启示录里，借着祂的肢体—使徒和申言者—说话。这些都可视为基督的话。

　　在〔歌罗西三章十六节〕，那涌流赞美和歌唱之属灵生命的充满，与话有关；与这段平行的经文，以弗所五章十八至二十节，属灵生命的充满，与灵有关。这指明话就是灵（约六63下）。正常的基督徒生活该充满话，叫灵从我们里面洋溢出赞美和歌颂。

　　基督的话包含了全部新约。我们必须被这话所充满。这意思是说，我们该让基督的话住在我们里面，居住在我们里面，安家在我们里面。翻作“住”的希腊字，原意是在家里，居住。主的话在我们里面必须有充分的地位，才能把基督的丰富运行并供应到我们里面的人里（李文集一九八五年第三册，六八○至六八一页）。

　　[In Colossians 3:16] Paul says that the word of Christ should dwell in us, inhabit us. This implies that the word of Christ is living. In order for something to dwell in us or to inhabit us, it must be living.

　　Paul’s expression in this verse indicates that the word of Christ is very much like a living person. Paul almost personifies the word of Christ; he tells us to let this word inhabit us, as if it were a living person. The word of Christ is actually the living person of Christ. Moreover, according to the New Testament, the living person of Christ is the Spirit. Jesus is the name of this person, and the reality of this person is the Spirit. For this reason, whenever we call on the name of the Lord Jesus, it is the Spirit who comes. We have also pointed out that the Word and the Spirit are one. Hence, when the word of Christ dwells in us, the Spirit inhabits us. (Life-study of Philippians, p. 353)

　　[In Colossians 3:16] we have Christ as our life, then we have His living word personified as His person dwelling in us. The word of Christ is the word spoken by Christ. In His New Testament economy God speaks in the Son, and the Son speaks not only directly in the Gospels but also through His members, the apostles and prophets, in Acts, in the Epistles, and in Revelation. All these may be considered as His word.

　　In this passage the infilling of spiritual life that overflows in praising and singing is related to the Word, whereas in its parallel passage, Ephesians 5:18-20, the infilling of spiritual life is related to the Spirit. This indicates that the Word and the Spirit are identical (John 6:63b). A normal Christian life should be one that is filled with the Word so that the Spirit may bubble from within us in lauding melodies, melodies of praise.

　　The word of Christ includes the entire New Testament. We need to be filled with this word. This means that we should allow the word of Christ to dwell in us, to inhabit us, to make home in us. The Greek word rendered “dwell” literally means “to be in a house, to inhabit.” The word of the Lord must have adequate room within us so that it may operate and minister the riches of Christ into our inner being. (CWWL, 1985, vol. 3, “Elders’ Training, Book 6: The Crucial Points of the Truth in Paul’s Epistles,” p. 531)
