肆 我们需要因复活生命的新鲜供应日日得更新，以顶替我们的文化，并借着成为像新耶路撒冷一样的新，而在实际里成为一个新人—林后四16： |
Ⅳ We need to be those who are being renewed day by day with the fresh supply of the resurrection life to replace our culture and to become the one new man in reality by becoming as new as the New Jerusalem—2 Cor. 4:16: |
一 穿上新人不是一次而永远完成的；相反的，这是一生之久的事，是我们基督徒一生中渐进的过程。 |
Ａ Putting on the new man does not take place once for all; on the contrary, it is a lifelong matter, a gradual process that goes on throughout our Christian life. |
二 我们重生的信徒是新人的一部分，应当在复活里，在神圣生命的新样中生活行动，并在灵的新样里服事—罗六4，七6。 |
Ｂ We, the regenerated believers, as parts of the new man, should walk in the newness of the divine life in resurrection and serve in newness of spirit—Rom. 6:4; 7:6. |
三 信徒既然都要在生命的新样中生活行动（六4）而成为新耶路撒冷，并都要在灵的新样里服事（七6）而建造新耶路撒冷，就该得更新，好成为像新耶路撒冷一样的新。 |
Ｃ The believers should be renewed to be as new as the New Jerusalem since they all are becoming the New Jerusalem by walking in newness of life (6:4) and building the New Jerusalem by serving in newness of spirit (7:6). |
四 我们在心思的灵里得以更新，乃是为着使我们逐日变化成为基督的形像，这是借着我们外面的人被环境中的苦难所销毁，好使我们里面的人被更新—林后四16： |
Ｄ Our being renewed in the spirit of our mind is for our daily transformation into the image of Christ through the consuming of our outer man by the suffering in our environment for the renewing of our inner man—2 Cor. 4:16: |
１ 当我们在苦难中，我们需要得着更新；不然，我们所经过的苦难，对我们就毫无意义；在我们里面有一避难所—我们的灵—诗九一1，二七5，三一20，赛三二2，提后四22，加六17~18。 |
１ While we are in the midst of suffering, we need to receive the renewing; otherwise, the suffering we pass through means nothing to us; within us there is a refuge—our spirit—Psa. 91:1; 27:5; 31:20; Isa. 32:2; 2 Tim. 4:22; Gal. 6:17-18. |
２ 神安排我们的环境，好使我们外面的人一点一点、一天一天地被销毁，我们里面的人被是灵的基督这复活生命之新鲜的供应所更新—林后四16。 |
２ God arranges our environment so that little by little and day by day our outer man will be consumed and our inner man will be renewed by the fresh supply of the pneumatic Christ as the resurrection life—2 Cor. 4:16. |
五 我们要日日得更新，就需要每早晨得复兴—太十三43，路一78~79，箴四18，士五31，林后四16。 |
Ｅ In order to be renewed day by day, we need to be revived every morning—Matt. 13:43; Luke 1:78-79; Prov. 4:18; Judg. 5:31; 2 Cor. 4:16. |
六 我们凭四个项目而日日得更新：十字架（10~12、16~18）；圣灵，凭圣灵我们就因神圣的生命得着重修、再制和改造（多三5）；我们调和的灵（弗四23）；以及神的圣言（五26）。 |
Ｆ We are renewed day by day through four items: the cross (vv. 10-12, 16-18); the Holy Spirit by which we are reconditioned, remade, and remodeled with the divine life (Titus 3:5); our mingled spirit (Eph. 4:23); and the holy word of God (5:26). |
七 我们需要在新样里来赴主的筵席（太二六29）；主绝不吃喝旧的筵席；我们需要得更新，学习说，“对不起，请赦免我。” |
Ｇ We need to come to the Lord’s table in newness (Matt. 26:29); the Lord never takes an old table; we need to be renewed by learning to say, “I’m sorry; forgive me.” |

林后四16 所以我们不丧胆，反而我们外面的人虽然在毁坏，我们里面的人却日日在更新。 弗四22~23 在从前的生活样式上，脱去了旧人，……而在你们心思的灵里得以更新。 神有最好的供备，帮助我们得更新。头一项供备乃是十字架，就是耶稣的治死。按林后四章，保罗常常在十字架（主的死）的杀死之下。十字架是为我们成就更新的最大帮助。 第二项供备乃是圣灵。提多书三章五节说到“圣灵的更新”。……〔圣灵〕主要的工作先是重生我们，然后日日更新我们。我们日日在接受那灵新的供应，使我们有新陈代谢的更新。……神赐给我们的第三项供备乃是我们调和的灵，就是我们人灵与神灵调和的灵。在我们人的灵里，有圣灵居住、工作并且更新我们。以弗所四章二十三节说，我们需要在我们心思的灵里得更新。我们的灵是我们得更新的所在。我们调和的灵扩展到我们的心思里，就成了我们心思的灵。在这样的灵里，我们得以更新，使我们得以变化（日日在更新，一○至一一页）。 |
2 Cor. 4:16 Therefore we do not lose heart; but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. Eph. 4:22-23 That you put off, as regards your former manner of life, the old man…and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind. God has the best provisions to help us to receive the renewing. The first provision is the cross, the putting to death of Jesus. According to 2 Corinthians 4, Paul was always under the killing of the cross, the Lord’s death. The second provision is the Holy Spirit. Titus 3:5 speaks of the “renewing of the Holy Spirit.”… [The Holy Spirit’s] main work is first to regenerate us and then to renew us every day. We are receiving the new supply of the Spirit daily to renew us metabolically…. The third provision God gave us is our mingled spirit, our human spirit mingled with the divine Spirit. In our human spirit, the Holy Spirit dwells, works, and renews us. Ephesians 4:23 says that we need to be renewed in the spirit of our mind. Our spirit is the place where we receive the renewing. Our mingled spirit spreads into our mind, thus becoming the spirit of our mind. It is in such a spirit that we are renewed for our transformation.

许多时候，我们受了苦，就问：“我为什么受苦？是什么原因？”……当我们在苦难中，我们需要得着更新。不然，我们所经过的苦难，对我们就毫无意义。在我们里面，有一避难所；这避难所就是我们的灵。我们需要从心思转到灵里。这样，我们就蒙护卫、隐藏、遮蔽，脱离任何的攻击。我们乃是在我们的灵里得更新。 除了十字架、圣灵和我们的灵以外，我们还有圣言。身体的头借着话中之水的洗涤洁净召会，就是祂的身体（弗五26）。 因为我研究圣经很久了，我能记得像马太一章、罗马八章这样的章节。……我想到罗马八章四节—照着灵而行—我就得着洗涤。我们都需要日日得着话中之水的洗涤。 我们也许感到所经过的许多事都不公平，但我们要晓得，十字架并不公平。当彼拉多宣判主耶稣死刑的时候，是否公平？……发生在主耶稣身上的事，都不公平。我们不应当说，“这不公平。”没有苦难是公平的。主可以这样回答我们：“是的，苦难本身不公平，可是我呼召你受苦是公平的。我把你摆到这不公平的对待里，使你能得着更新，这完全是对的。”……〔我们受苦时，〕必须学习怎样转到我们的灵里。那是我们得着更新的避难所、藏身处。……我们也许甚至无法忍受所处的环境，但是当我们来到主的话前，不管是什么章节，主的话必定会洗涤我们。话中有水洗涤我们。“洗涤”乃是“更新”的同义辞。凭着十字架、圣灵、我们调和的灵以及圣言这四项，我们就能得着更新。 每逢我们来赴主的筵席，我们需要更新。主耶稣设立这筵席的时候，说，“从今以后，我绝不喝这葡萄树的产品，直到我在我父的国里，同你们喝新的那日子。”（太二六29）主……绝不吃喝旧的筵席。祂设立的筵席是新的，祂在祂父的国里吃喝的筵席也是新的。我们必须在新样里，在新样的原则里来赴主的筵席（日日在更新，一一至一二页）。 参读：神救恩生机的一面，第三篇；神生机救恩的秘诀—“那灵自己同我们的灵”，第三章。 |
Many times when we are suffering, we are questioning, “Why am I suffering? What is the reason?”…While we are in the midst of suffering, we need to receive the renewing. Otherwise, the suffering we pass through means nothing to us. Within us there is a refuge. This refuge is our spirit. We need to turn from our mind to our spirit. Then we are safeguarded, hidden, and concealed from any attacks. It is in our spirit that we will be renewed. In addition to the cross, the Holy Spirit, and our spirit, we have the holy Word. The Head of the Body cleanses the church, His Body, by the washing of the water in the word (Eph. 5:26). Because I have studied the Bible for such a long time, I can recall chapters such as Matthew 1 and Romans 8…. When I think about Romans 8:4—to walk according to the spirit— I get washed. We all need to receive the washing of the water in the word daily. We may feel that many of the things that we pass through are not fair, but we need to realize that the cross is not fair. When Pilate sentenced the Lord Jesus to death, was that fair?… Everything that happened to the Lord Jesus was not fair. We should not say, “This is not fair.” No suffering is fair. The Lord could respond to us in this way: “Yes, the suffering itself is not fair, but My calling you to suffer is fair. I am fully right in placing you into this unfair treatment so that you can receive the renewing.”… [When we are suffering], we have to learn how to turn to our spirit. That is our refuge, our hiding place, to receive the renewing…. We may not even be able to take the situation we are in, but when we come to the Word, regardless of what chapter or verse, the word will wash us. There is water in the word to wash us. Washing is a synonym of renewing. By these four items—the cross, the Holy Spirit, our mingled spirit, and the holy Word—we can receive the renewing. Whenever we come to the Lord’s table, we need renewing. When the Lord Jesus established the table, He said, “I shall by no means drink of this product of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in the kingdom of My Father” (Matt. 26:29). The Lord …will never take an old table. The table He set up was new, and the table He will take in the kingdom of His Father will be new. We have to come to the Lord’s table in a new way, in the principle of newness.
