贰 我们需要看见并进入众召会生机的关系；这是独一召会（由所有地方召会所组成的宇宙召会）的独一关系—林前十二章二十八节的“召会”，乃指召会宇宙和地方的两面： |
Ⅱ We need to see and enter into the organic relationship of the churches; this is the unique relationship of the unique church (the universal church composed of all the local churches); “the church” in 1 Corinthians 12:28 refers to the church in both its universal and local aspects: |
一 这生机的关系在众地方召会之间独一并普遍的实行，众地方召会乃是基督独一生机的身体—林后十三14，约壹一3，7。 |
Ａ This organic relationship is practiced uniquely and universally among all the local churches as the unique, organic Body of Christ—2 Cor. 13:14; 1 John 1:3, 7. |
二 众地方召会是一个召会；众地方召会生机的关系是基于神圣生命的生机交通；在组成基督一个宇宙身体的众召会中间没有组织，但有基督身体的交通—腓一5，参徒九31。 |
Ｂ All the local churches are one church; their organic relationship is based upon the organic fellowship of the divine life; among all the churches that compose the one universal Body of Christ, there is no organization, but there is the fellowship of the Body of Christ—Phil. 1:5; cf. Acts 9:31. |
三 在一个地方上的召会不该有一种态度，认为他们与别地召会没有关系；对于众召会之间的关系，有一种内在的错误领会，以及不同的教训，认为众召会是分开、自治的；这种错误和不同的教训已经存在于我们中间，造成一再的分裂。 |
Ｃ The church in one locality should not have the attitude that they have nothing to do with the church in another locality; an intrinsically wrong realization and different teaching of the separate, autonomous relationship of the churches has been existing among us; this wrong and different teaching causes division after division. |
四 主的恢复是基于这真理：基督只有一个身体，这身体在许多地方彰显为众地方召会；因着灵是一位，所以只有一个身体，在身体里也只有一个生命的循环；这循环就是基督身体的交通，也就是众召会中间的交通—弗一22~23，四4~6，约壹一3，7，启一11。 |
Ｄ The Lord’s recovery is based upon the truth that Christ has only one Body, which is expressed in many localities as the local churches; because there is one Spirit, there is only one Body, and there is only one circulation of life in the Body; this circulation is the fellowship of the Body of Christ, which is the fellowship among the churches—Eph. 1:22-23; 4:4-6; 1 John 1:3, 7; Rev. 1:11. |
五 地方召会乃是基督独一身体的一部分，而在宇宙一面，身体的交通乃是一；在神圣的交通中没有分离—11节，二7上： |
Ｅ A local church is a part of the unique Body of Christ, and the fellowship of the Body is universally one; in the divine fellowship there is no separation—v. 11; 2:7a: |
１ 任何一个召会或区域都不应该与身体的交通隔离；任何一个召会或区域从基督身体的交通隔离自己的结果，乃是黑暗、混乱、分裂和死亡。 |
１ No church or region should isolate itself from the fellowship of the Body; the result of a church or a region isolating itself from the fellowship of the Body of Christ is darkness, confusion, division, and death. |
２ 我们若与身体的交通隔离，就没有资格有分于主的晚餐，因为在主的晚餐中，桌上的饼表征整个基督的身体—林前十16~17，十一25~28。 |
２ If we isolate ourselves from the fellowship of the Body, we are not qualified to partake of the Lord’s supper, because the loaf on the table in the Lord’s supper signifies the entire Body of Christ—1 Cor. 10:16-17; 11:25-28. |

林前十二28 “神在召会中所设立的，第一是使徒，第二是申言者，第三是教师；其次是行异能的，再次是得恩赐医病的，帮助的，治理的，说各种方言的。” 弗一22~23 “将万有服在祂的脚下，并使祂向着召会作万有的头；召会是祂的身体，是那在万有中充满万有者的丰满。” 众召会生机的关系乃是独一召会（由所有地方召会所组成的宇宙召会）的独一关系（林前十二28）。今天在主的恢复里，…地方召会虽然多，但独一的、宇宙的并内在的交通只有一个，这交通是为着众召会生机的关系。 每一地方召会的长老应当考虑他们与其他召会有何种关系。他们的关系是否只限于他们当地的弟兄，还是他们与主恢复中的众召会都有交通？…两处召会在地理上可能很接近，…〔却〕可能不愿意让对方知道各自的事。…各召会的关系应当是神圣生命独一、普遍的交通。在这交通里，除了一些牵涉到个人隐密和私人事件的例子之外，众召会不该有任何私下的事（生机建造的召会作基督的身体成为经过过程并分赐之三一神的生机体，六九至七○页）。 |
1 Cor. 12:28 And God has placed some in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers; then works of power, then gifts of healing, helps, administrations, various kinds of tongues. Eph. 1:22-23 And He subjected all things under His feet and gave Him to be Head over all things to the church, which is His Body, the fullness of the One who fills all in all. The organic relationship of the churches is the unique relationship of the unique church—the universal church composed of all the local churches (1 Cor. 12:28). Today in the Lord’s recovery there are… many local churches, but there is only one unique, universal, and intrinsic fellowship, which is for the organic relationship of the churches. The elders of each of the local churches should consider what kind of relationship they have with the other churches. Is their relationship limited to the brothers in their locality, or are they in fellowship with all the churches in the Lord’s recovery?…Two churches may be very close to one another geographically yet…may not want to let each other know about their affairs.…The relationship of every church should be the unique, universal fellowship of the divine life. In this fellowship the churches should not have anything private, except certain cases of individuals involving confidential and personal matters.

众地方召会是一个召会。…众召会的关系不是组织的。众召会的关系必须是生机的，是照着神圣生命并基于神圣生命之生机交通的。我们若持守这个看见，就会免去许多的难处。 当头一批使徒在地上时，众召会在生机里是一。然而，过了一段时间，召会开始堕落并分裂。…在正确的意义上，众召会都应当是“大公”的，都应当普遍是一。然而，“大公”一辞已经被滥用了。大公教（即天主教）造出庞大的…阶级制度。…这种阶级抹煞了基督为首的身分。我们应当恨恶这种阶级的实行。 当弟兄们被兴起时，他们强烈地攻击天主教的阶级实行。然而，弟兄们至终因着他们道理上的教训而分裂。…有一位教师，名叫兰格（G.H.Lang），他反对达秘，教导说每一地方召会应当自治；这种自治的教训毁了弟兄们，造成一再的分裂。 我们只该注意实行召会作三一神生机体的身体生活。在主的恢复里，我们不实行自治，也不实行联治。我们只有一个实行，就是基于在基督身体中独一并普遍的交通。在一个地方上的召会不该有一种态度，认为他们与别地召会没有关系。…众召会不该在彼此之间实行一种分开、自治的关系。众召会实行联治的关系也是错的。我们应该实行基于基督身体独一并普遍之交通的关系。 众召会生机的关系，是基于基督生机身体众肢体之间独一并普遍的交通（参腓二1）。这种生机的关系是在众召会之间独一并普遍的实行；众召会乃是基督独一生机的身体，就是宇宙中独一的召会（生机建造的召会作基督的身体成为经过过程并分赐之三一神的生机体，七二至七四页）。 参读：长老训练第四册，第四章。 |
All the local churches are one church.…Their relationship is not organizational. The relationship of the churches must be organic according to the divine life and based on the organic fellowship of the divine life. If we keep this view, we will be saved from many problems. When the first group of apostles was on the earth, the churches were organically one. After a time, however, the churches began to degrade and became divided…. In the proper sense all the churches should be “catholic”; they should be universally one. The word catholic, however, has been spoiled. The Catholic Church has created a great hierarchy,… [which] annuls the headship of Christ. We should hate such a hierarchical practice. When the Brethren were raised up, they strongly attacked the hierarchical practice of Catholicism. Eventually, however, the Brethren became divided over their doctrinal teachings…. One teacher, G. H. Lang, in reacting against Darby, taught that every local assembly should be autonomous. This teaching of autonomy ruined the Brethren, causing division after division. We should care only to practice the Body life of the church as the organism of the Triune God. In the Lord’s recovery we do not practice autonomy or federation. We only have a practice based upon the unique and universal fellowship in the Body of Christ. The church in one locality should not have the attitude that they have nothing to do with the church in another locality.…The churches should not practice having a separate, autonomous relationship among them. It is also wrong for the churches to practice a federated relationship. We should practice the unique relationship based upon the unique and universal fellowship of the Body of Christ. The organic relationship of the churches is based on the unique and universal fellowship among all the members of the organic Body of Christ (cf. Phil. 2:1). This organic relationship is practiced uniquely and universally among all the local churches as the unique, organic Body of Christ—the unique church in the universe.
