贰 罗马十一章三十三节上半说到神的智慧：“深哉，神的丰富、智慧和知识！”： |
Ⅱ Romans 11:33a speaks of God’s wisdom: “Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God!”: |
一 看见智慧与知识的不同是很重要的—33节： |

２ 智慧见于事物的创始，如罗马十一章三十六节所指明的：“万有都是本于祂、借着祂、并归于祂。” |
２ Wisdom is seen in the initiation of something, as indicated by Romans 11:36: “Out from Him and through Him and to Him are all things.” |
３ 神是独一的创始者：“只有一位神，就是父，万物都本于祂”—林前八6上： |
３ God is the unique Initiator: “One God, the Father, out from whom are all things”—1 Cor. 8:6a: |
ａ 神创始了许多东西，不是凭祂的知识，乃是凭祂的智慧—箴三19，八12、22~31。 |
ａ God has initiated many things, not by His knowledge but by His wisdom—Prov. 3:19; 8:12, 22-31. |
ｂ 当神进来应用祂所创始的，祂就展示祂的知识。 |

２ 这位智慧的神凭历世以来密而不宣之奥秘的启示，将耶稣基督赐给我们，使我们得救、重生，并且借着祂神圣的分赐，不断更新、变化我们，至终使我们得荣，模成神长子的形像，带我们进入荣耀—25节，三24~25，五10，八16、23、29，十二1~2。 |
２ The wise God has given Jesus Christ to us according to the revelation of the mystery, which has been kept in silence in the times of the ages, who also is the One who has saved us, regenerated us, and through His divine dispensing is continually renewing and transforming us, and who will eventually glorify us and conform us to the image of God’s firstborn Son, bringing us into glory—v. 25; 3:24-25; 5:10; 8:16, 23, 29; 12:1-2. |

罗十一33 深哉，神的丰富、智慧和知识！祂的判断何其难测，祂的道路何其难寻！ 十六25 ……我的福音，就是关于耶稣基督的传扬，照历世以来密而不宣之奥秘的启示……。 27 愿荣耀借着耶稣基督，归与这位独一、智慧的神，直到永永远远。阿们。 以弗所一章说到神的能力（19~20），二章说到神的恩典（5~8），三章说到神的智慧。神非常有智慧，而宇宙显出祂的智慧。 我们需要看见智慧与知识的不同。歌罗西二章三节把这二者并提。智慧比知识更高更深。智慧见于事物的创始，譬如一种新发明的设计；而知识见于实际的应用。你若只有知识而缺少智慧，你就无法创始什么，也不会发明什么。神是独一的创始者。祂创始了许多东西，不是凭祂的知识，乃是凭祂的智慧。当神进来应用祂所创始的，祂就展示祂的知识。 对我们来说，智慧是在我们的灵里，知识是在我们的心思里。你若不知道如何进入你的灵，即使你有许多知识，你也不会有智慧。但你若是一个在灵里的人，你就会有智慧。不仅如此，在你的心思里还有知识，就是明达（以弗所书生命读经，三二三至三二四页）。 |
Rom. 11:33 Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and untraceable His ways! 16:25 …My gospel,…the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which has been kept in silence in the times of the ages. 27 To the only wise God through Jesus Christ, to Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen. Ephesians 1 speaks of the power of God (vv. 19-20), chapter 2, of the grace of God (vv. 5-8), and chapter 3, of the wisdom of God. God is very wise, and the universe reveals His wisdom. We need to see the difference between wisdom and knowledge. In Colossians 2:3 the two are mentioned together. Wisdom is both higher and deeper than knowledge. Wisdom is seen in the initiation of something, for example, in the formulation of a new invention, and knowledge is seen in the practical application. If you have only knowledge and lack wisdom, you will not be able to initiate anything nor to invent anything. God is the unique Initiator. He has initiated many things, not by His knowledge, but by His wisdom. When He comes in to apply what He has initiated, He displays His knowledge. In our case, wisdom is in our spirit, and knowledge is in our mind. If you do not know how to get into your spirit, you may have a great deal of knowledge, but you will not have any wisdom. But if you are a person in the spirit, you will be wise. Furthermore, in your mind you will have knowledge, prudence. (Life-study of Ephesians, pp. 267-268) |

智慧与聪明不同，比聪明更深。聪明而无智慧是可能的。例如，罪犯也许非常聪明，但完全缺少智慧（新约总论第一册，一○六页）。 借着圣灵所赐，关于基督的奥秘（召会）的启示，与神奥秘中的智慧有关。林前二章六至七节保罗说，“然而在长成的人中，我们也讲智慧，但不是这世代的智慧，也不是这世代有权有位正被废掉之人的智慧。我们讲的，乃是从前所隐藏，神奥秘中的智慧，就是神在万世以前，为使我们得荣耀所预定的。”神的智慧就是基督（一24），祂是隐藏的奥秘，乃是在万世以前，在永远里，为使我们得荣耀所预定、预派、预立的。按照二章七节，神的智慧是在奥秘中；这是奥秘的智慧。神的智慧是隐藏的智慧，也是在万世以前，为使我们得荣耀所预定的智慧。神的智慧是我们的定命，而这定命是神预先所决定的。在永远里神就决定我们的定命。祂预定祂的智慧，为使我们得荣耀。这就是说，在永远里，祂决定祂的智慧要成为我们的定命和荣耀。 基督作为神的中心和我们的分，给我们享受，乃是神奥秘中的智慧，是深奥的智慧，超过人的理解。在神里面有一样东西，保罗形容为奥秘中的智慧。这智慧是在万世以前所隐藏，并为使我们得荣耀所预定的。我们这些信徒有一个定命，这定命就是我们所享受之最后终极的分。神奥秘中的智慧不仅是隐藏的，也是神所预定的，成为我们的定命，为使我们得荣耀（新约总论第七册，五一至五二页）。 当我们这样活在基督身体的一里，并将这身体彰显于各地的召会中，结果：（一）神就要将撒但践踏在我们脚下（罗十六20上）；（二）我们享受基督的恩典和神的平安（20下）；（三）将荣耀归与我们独一、智慧的神（25~27）。这是我们召会生活的最高点。无论地上有多少圣徒〔和〕地方召会，我们在各个地方都将荣耀归与这独一、智慧的神（关于神圣分赐更深的研读，九九页）。 参读：箴言生命读经，第一至二篇。 |
Wisdom is different from cleverness and deeper than cleverness. It is possible to be clever without being wise. For example, a criminal may be very clever, but he is altogether lacking in wisdom. The revelation of the mystery of Christ, the church, by the Holy Spirit concerns God’s wisdom in a mystery. In 1 Corinthians 2:6 and 7 Paul says, “We do speak wisdom among those who are full-grown, yet a wisdom not of this age nor of the rulers of this age, who are being brought to nought; but we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom which has been hidden, which God predestined before the ages for our glory.” God’s wisdom is Christ (1 Cor. 1:24), who is the hidden mystery predestined, pre-designated, and foreordained before the ages, in eternity, for our glory. According to 2:7, God’s wisdom is in a mystery; it is a mysterious wisdom. God’s wisdom is the wisdom which has been hidden and which God predestinated before the ages for our glory. God’s wisdom is our destiny, and this destiny was determined by God, decided by Him, beforehand. In eternity God determined our destiny. He predestined His wisdom to be for our glory. This means that in eternity He decided that His wisdom would be our destiny and glory. As God’s center and as our portion for our enjoyment, Christ is God’s wisdom in a mystery, a wisdom that is deep and profound, beyond human understanding. Within God there is something which Paul describes as wisdom in a mystery. This wisdom has been hidden and predestined before the ages for our glory. As believers we have a destiny, and this destiny is the ultimate and consummate portion of our enjoyment. God’s wisdom in a mystery has not only been hidden but also predestined by God to become our destiny for our glory. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 91, 2089) When we live in the oneness of the Body of Christ and express this Body in the various local churches, the result will be: (1) God’s crushing of Satan under our feet (Rom. 16:20a), (2) our enjoying the grace of Christ and the peace of God (v. 20b), and (3) the giving of glory to the only wise God (vv. 25-27). This is the peak of our church life. No matter how many saints or local churches there are on earth, in the various places we all give glory to the only wise God.
