多一9 “坚守那按照使徒教训可信靠的话，好能用健康的教训劝勉人，又能使那些反对的人知罪自责。”

　　提前六3 “若有人教导的不同，不赞同健康的话，就是我们主耶稣基督的话，以及那合乎敬虔的教训。”

　　提多书一章九节所说的教训，指使徒的教训（徒二42）；这些教训至终成了新约。这指明众召会是按照使徒的教训建立的，也是凭着遵守使徒的教训存在的。这也指明众召会的秩序，是凭着那按照使徒教训所教导可信靠的话，得以维持的。召会的混乱主要的是由于偏离使徒的教训。我们要对抗这事，就必须坚守众召会中，按照使徒教训所教导可信靠的话。在黑暗混乱的局面中，我们必须坚守新约里光照并规正的话，就是使徒的教训。要维持召会的秩序，除了长老职任以外，还需要有使徒按照神启示的话语（提多书生命读经，七至八页）。

　　Titus 1:9 Holding to the faithful word, which is according to the teaching of the apostles, that he may be able both to exhort by the healthy teaching and to convict those who oppose.

　　1 Tim. 6:3 If anyone teaches different things and does not consent to healthy words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the teaching which is according to godliness.

　　The teaching referred to [in Titus 1:9] is the apostles’ teaching (Acts 2:42), which eventually became the New Testament. This indicates that the churches were established according to the apostles’ teaching and followed their teaching. It also indicates that the order of the churches was maintained by the faithful word, which was given according to the apostles’ teaching. The disorder of the church was mainly due to deviation from the apostles’ teaching. To counter this, we must hold to the faithful word taught in the churches according to the apostles’ teaching. In a darkened and confused situation, we must cleave to the enlightening and ordering word in the New Testament—the apostles’ teaching. To maintain the order of the church, the word according to God’s revelation is needed in addition to the eldership. (Life-study of Titus, p. 6)

　　纯洁的召会生活只建造在使徒健康的教训上。因这缘故保罗说，长老必须坚守那按照使徒教训可信靠的话，好能用健康的教训劝勉人。提多书一章九节的教训指使徒的教训（徒二42）；这些教训至终成了新约。…在耶路撒冷接受主耶稣并加给召会的人，持续在使徒的教训和交通里。

　　在提多书一章九节，保罗不是说健全的教训，甚或纯正的教训，乃是说健康的教训。有些教训也许是健全或纯正的，却不是健康的。健康的教训总是与生命有关，能滋养我们或医治我们。唯有活的东西才能是健康的。比如，我们不说桌子或椅子是健康的。使徒的教训不仅是健全、纯正的，也是健康的，满了生命。

　　使徒职事的健康教训，要点是关于三一神经过过程，将祂自己这包罗万有的灵分赐到祂所拣选的人里面，使他们被带进生机的联结里，接受神圣的灌输，因此成为神的众子和基督的众肢体。结果，他们能成为身体彰显基督，就是神的丰满居住在祂里面的那一位。这一切几乎都被今天的基督徒忽略了。甚至那些真正健全的教训也多半是肤浅的。

　　我们的负担不是要抵挡肤浅、假冒为善和迷信，乃是要供应基督与召会，以完成神的经纶。我们的父神确实有永远的定旨要完成，但撒但却带着许多打岔和虚假进来。我们的负担必须是将包罗万有的基督，以及作基督身体的召会，供应给爱神并寻求基督的人。我们需要帮助所有追求主的人完全认识真理。我们需要吹号，使寻求主耶稣的人来在一起作基督活的身体，以完成神的定旨，并催促主来。关于这点，我们众人必须不顾一切，并使自己专心祷告。一面，我们喜欢与别人维持和睦的光景。另一面，为着神定旨的缘故，我们必须站立得稳，以完全认识神的真理，并且打美好的仗，抵挡邪恶的黑暗权势（提多书生命读经，二○至二一、二三至二四页）。

　　The pure church life is built only upon the healthy teaching of the apostles. This is the reason Paul says that elders must hold to the faithful word, which is according to the teaching, so that they may be able to exhort by healthy teaching. The teaching in Titus 1:9 refers to that of the apostles (Acts 2:42), which eventually became the New Testament…. In Jerusalem those who received the Lord Jesus and were added to the church continued in the teaching and fellowship of the apostles.

　　In Titus 1:9 Paul does not say “sound teaching” or even “pure teaching”; he speaks of “healthy teaching.” Certain teachings may be sound or pure without being healthy. Healthy teaching is always related to life and is able either to nourish us or to heal us. Only something living can be healthy. For example, we do not speak of a table or chair as being healthy. The teachings of the apostles were not only sound and pure, but were healthy, full of life.

　　The crucial point of the healthy teaching of the apostolic ministry concerns the Triune God processed to dispense Himself as the all-inclusive Spirit into His chosen ones so that they may be brought into an organic union to receive the divine transfusion and thereby become sons of God and members of Christ. As a result, they can be the Body to express Christ, the One in whom the fullness of God dwells. Almost all of this is neglected by Christians today. Even those teachings which are truly sound are for the most part superficial.

　　Our burden is not simply to oppose superficiality, hypocrisy, and superstition. It is to minister Christ and the church for the fulfillment of God’s economy. God our Father certainly has an eternal purpose to fulfill. But Satan has come in with many distractions and falsehoods. Our burden must be to minister the all-inclusive Christ and the church as the Body of Christ to those who love God and seek Christ. We need to help all those who pursue the Lord to come to the full knowledge of the truth. We need to sound the trumpet that those who seek the Lord Jesus may come together as a living Body of Christ to fulfill God’s purpose and to hasten the coming of the Lord. Concerning this, we all must be desperate and give ourselves to prayer. On the one hand, we like to maintain a peaceful situation with others. On the other hand, for the sake of God’s purpose, we must stand firm for the full knowledge of God’s truth and fight the good fight against the evil powers of darkness. (Life-study of Titus, pp. 16-17, 19-20)
