  多二1 “至于你,要讲那合乎健康教训的话。”

  7~8 “在凡事上你自己要显出善行的榜样,在教导上要不腐化,要庄重,要用无可挑剔的健康言语…。”

  健康的教训总是照着信仰(多一13)的真理(14),这乃是使徒教训的内容,也是神新约经纶的内容;不仅供应信徒生命的供应,医治属灵的疾病,而且这样作也将召会带进良好秩序的健康光景中。因此,在提前、提后、提多这三卷对付召会混乱和败落的书信里,非常强调健康的教训。在提多书二章一节保罗嘱咐提多不要偏离健康的教训,使徒的教训(提多书生命读经,二六页)。
  Titus 2:1 But you, speak the things which are fitting to the healthy teaching.

  7-8 Concerning all things presenting yourself as a pattern of good works: in your teaching showing incorruption, gravity, healthy speech that cannot be condemned…

  The healthy teaching is always according to the truth (Titus 1:14) of the faith (1:13). It is the content of the apostles’ teaching, the content of God’s New Testament economy. It not only ministers the life supply to the believers and heals the spiritual diseases but in so doing also brings the church into a sound condition with a good order. Hence, it is very much stressed in these three books, 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus, books dealing with the disorder and decline of the church. In Titus 2:1 Paul charged Titus not to deviate from the healthy teaching, from the apostles’ teaching. (Life-study of Titus, pp. 21-22)

  我们…该受提醒,讲那合乎健康教训的话〔多二1〕。健康这辞指卫生,能使人预防属灵的毒,也供应他们生命。我们的教训不该仅仅把知识传给别人,也该供应他们生命。我受试诱要说到某个题目时,常常被阻止。我感觉我所要说的话里没有多少卫生的元素。我们需要提醒自己,并受那灵提醒,讲健康的教训。

  健康的教训不会引起辩论或争论。我们若充分留意从主得喂养,就不会在意争论。餐桌不是辩论或争论的地方,乃是坐席和滋养的地方。…我们都需要学习如何将健康的“菜肴”摆在餐桌上喂养圣徒(提多书生命读经,二六至二七页)。

  我们只接受使徒的教训(徒二42),就是主耶稣健康的话(提前六3)。提前一章说到关于神经纶的教训,六章说到主耶稣健康的话。所有使徒的教训都是为着神的经纶,而这些教训都是主耶稣健康的话。使徒从主学了这些话,并且跟从主教导祂所教导的。…在以弗所三章八节,保罗说到基督那追测不尽之丰富的福音,在九节他说到神永远的经纶。我们必须传讲并教导这两件事。

  当保罗告诉提摩太,要嘱咐那几个人不可教导不同的事,他是指教导虚构无稽之事和无穷的家谱(提前一4),以及律法(7~8)。…我们若教导一些主耶稣和使徒们从来没有教导过的事,我们就是教导神经纶以外的事,也就是在使徒教训之外的事。在使徒教训之外的教训会带来分裂。

  使徒的教训是关于基督的身位和祂救赎的工作(约贰9~11),也是关于神在信仰里的经纶(提前一3~4)。神的经纶不是要有差传地区好传福音,或者有圣经学校好教导真理。神的经纶乃是将三一神分赐或传输到祂所拣选并救赎的人里面,作他们的生命和一切,使他们重生、变化,成为建造基督身体合式的材料,使神今世在地上许多的地方得着团体的彰显,为着建造要来的新耶路撒冷,作神永远的彰显。我们若将自己限制于使徒的教训,就是关于神经纶的教训,我们就会被保守在一里,就会有这条为着一个目标的路(李文集一九八七年第二册,五三○、五三四至五三五页)。

  We…should be reminded to speak the things which are fitting to healthy teaching. The word healthy points to that which is hygienic and which can both inoculate others against spiritual poison and also supply them with life. Our teachings should not merely pass on knowledge to others, but should supply them with life. Often when I have been tempted to speak about a certain subject, I was stopped. I had the sense that there was not much of the hygienic element in what I planned to say. We need to remind ourselves and be reminded by the Spirit to give forth healthy teaching.

  Healthy teachings do not provoke debates or arguments. If we give adequate attention to feeding on the Lord, we shall not care to argue. A dining table is not a place for debate or argument; it is a place for feasting and nourishment.…We all need to learn how to put healthy “dishes” on the dining table to feed the saints. (Life-study of Titus, p. 22)

  We take only the apostles’ teaching (Acts 2:42) as the healthy words of the Lord Jesus (1 Tim. 6:3). First Timothy 1 speaks of the teaching concerning God’s economy, and chapter 6 speaks of the healthy words of the Lord Jesus. All the teachings of the apostles are for God’s economy, and these teachings are the healthy words of the Lord Jesus. The apostles learned these words from the Lord and followed the Lord to teach the same thing that He did…. In Ephesians 3:8 Paul speaks of the unsearchable riches of Christ as the gospel, and in verse 9 he speaks of God’s eternal economy. We must preach and teach these two items.

  When Paul told Timothy to charge certain ones not to teach differently, he was referring to the teaching of myths, unending genealogies (1 Tim. 1:4), and the law (vv. 7-8)…. If we teach anything that has never been taught by the Lord Jesus or the apostles, we are teaching something other than God’s economy, something outside the apostles’ teaching. A teaching other than the apostles’ teaching will issue in division.

  The apostles’ teaching is the teaching concerning Christ’s person and redemptive work (2 John 9-11). It is also the teaching concerning God’s economy in faith (1 Tim. 1:3-4). God’s economy is not to have a mission field for preaching the gospel or to have a Bible school to teach the truths. God’s economy is to dispense, or impart, the Triune God into His chosen and redeemed people to be their life and everything that they might be regenerated and transformed into the proper material for the building up of the Body of Christ so that God may have a corporate expression on the earth in many localities in this age with a view to the building up of the coming New Jerusalem for His eternal expression. If we limit ourselves to the apostles’ teaching, the teaching concerning God’s economy, we will be kept in oneness and will have one way for one goal. (CWWL, 1987, vol. 2, “The God-ordained Way to Practice the New Testament Economy,” pp. 436, 439)
