五 我们需要跟随使徒的脚踪,将众圣徒带进基督身体全体相调的生活里;使徒借着推荐与问安,将我们带进基督身体全体相调的生活里,好使平安的神能将撒但践踏在我们脚下,并使我们能得享基督丰富的恩典—罗十六1~16、21~23、20: |
E We need to follow in the apostle’s footsteps to bring all the saints into the blending life of the entire Body of Christ; the apostle brought us into the blending life of the entire Body of Christ by recommendations and greetings in order that the God of peace may crush Satan under our feet, and we may enjoy the rich grace of Christ—Rom. 16:1-16, 21-23, 20: |
1 相调的目的是要将我们众人引进基督身体的实际;我们需要在作为手续的众地方召会里,好被带进基督身体的实际这目标里。 |
1 The purpose of the blending is to usher us all into the reality of the Body of Christ; we need to be in the local churches as the procedure to be brought into the reality of the Body of Christ as the goal. |
2 主恢复的最高峰,能真正、实际、真实完成神经纶的,不是叫神以有形的作法产生许多地方召会,乃是让神产生生机的身体作祂的生机体。 |
2 The highest peak of the Lord’s recovery that can really, practically, and actually carry out God’s economy is for God to produce not many local churches in a physical way but an organic Body to be His organism. |
3 保罗认为召会是一个饼(林前十17),这种想法不是他自己发明的,乃是取自旧约里的素祭(利二4);素祭的细面,每一部分都是用油调和的—那就是相调。 |
3 Paul’s thought of the church being one bread (1 Cor. 10:17) was not his own invention; rather, it was taken from the Old Testament with the meal offering (Lev. 2:4); every part of the flour of the meal offering was mingled with the oil—that is the blending. |
4 少有人说到相调,因为这事不仅非常高深,也非常奥秘;相调不是一件物质的事;我们相调的意义,乃是基督身体的实际。 |
4 Hardly anyone speaks about blending because this is not only very high and deep but also very mysterious; it is not a physical matter; the significance of our blending is the reality of the Body of Christ. |
5 相调乃是为着建造基督宇宙的身体(弗一23),为要照着神的喜悦,终极完成新耶路撒冷(启二一2),作神经纶的最终目标(弗三8~10,一9~10)。 |
5 The blending is for the building up of the universal Body of Christ (Eph. 1:23) to consummate the New Jerusalem (Rev. 21:2) as the final goal of God’s economy according to His good pleasure (Eph. 3:8-10; 1:9-10). |

罗十六1 我向你们推荐我们的姊妹非比,她是在坚革哩的召会的女执事。 16 你们要用圣别的亲嘴彼此问安。基督的众召会都问你们安。 20 平安的神快要将撒但践踏在你们的脚下。愿我们主耶稣的恩,与你们同在。 罗马书末了三章给我们看见,我们要特别在两件非常重要的事上,在生命中作王。第一就是在效法使徒,将各地的召会带进基督身体的交通(十四3,十五7~9、25~33)。第二就是在跟随使徒的脚踪,将众圣徒带到基督身体全体相调的生活中。 罗马书末了三章给我们看见,使徒照着神并照着基督的接纳,而有的一种基督身体生活的相调和交通。这样的解释,是历代的解经家所没有看见的。十六章给我们看见使徒的一个绝佳榜样,他将众圣徒带到基督身体全体相调的生活中。我们在这样的生活中,才能真实地在生命中作王(经历神生机的救恩等于在基督的生命中作王,七一、七四页)。 |
Rom. 16:1 I commend to you Phoebe our sister, who is a deaconess of the church which is in Cenchrea. 16 Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet you. 20 Now the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. The last three chapters of Romans show that we need to reign in life particularly in two crucial matters. The first matter is in imitating the apostle to bring the local churches into the fellowship of the Body of Christ (14:3; 15:7-9, 25-33); the second matter is in following in the apostle’s footsteps to bring all the saints into the blending life of the entire Body of Christ (ch. 16). The last three chapters of Romans show the blending and fellowship of the Body life brought forth through the apostle’s receiving according to God and Christ; such an explanation was not seen by the Bible expositors throughout the generations. Romans 16 gives us an excellent pattern of the apostle in bringing all the saints into the blending life of the entire Body of Christ. It is in such a life that we can truly reign in life.

我们必须跟随使徒的脚踪;他借着推荐与问安,将我们带进基督身体全体相调的生活中,使平安的神能将撒但践踏在我们脚下,而我们能得享基督丰富的恩典(罗十六1~16、21~24、20)。在罗马十六章,使徒保罗将圣徒一一提名问安,至少有二十七位圣徒,……并且普遍地问圣徒的安。这给我们看见,他对每一位圣徒都相当的认识、了解、关心。这样的推荐和问安,不仅说到众圣徒之间的关切,也说到众召会之间的交通。 因着召会这样在身体里的交通,就使平安的神能将撒但践踏在我们脚下,并使我们能得享基督丰富的恩典(经历神生机的救恩等于在基督的生命中作王,七五页)。 照以弗所一章二十二至二十三节,神经纶的目标是召会,就是基督的身体。……主恢复的最高峰,能真正、实际、真实完成神经纶的,不是叫神以有形的作法产生许多地方召会,乃是让神产生生机的身体作祂的生机体。我们都有物质的身体,但事实上我们的身体不是我们这人的实际。……照样,全球所建立的众召会是有形的骨架,但在众召会中间也许没有基督身体的实际。 相调的思想在圣经里很强。在旧约里,有为着完成神经纶之相调的预表。……使徒保罗很强地提到这相调的预表。在林前十章十七节保罗说,“因着只有一个饼,我们虽多,还是一个身体,因我们都分受这一个饼。”保罗看召会是一个饼,这种想法不是他自己发明的,乃是取自旧约。利未记二章四节的素祭,是由细面调油所作的饼组成的。……那就是相调。保罗告诉我们,召会乃是由细面所作成的饼。细面来自麦粒,而麦粒来自那一粒麦子,就是基督(约十二24)。……我们是许多子粒,被磨成细面,好作成召会这饼。 我们看见圣言里有相调的真理,但少有人说到相调,因为这事不仅非常高深,也非常奥秘。相调不是一件物质的事(关于相调的实行,五、一四至一五、一九页)。 参读:召会生活中引起风波的难处,第三至四章。 |
We must follow in the footsteps of the apostle. He brought us into the blending life of the entire Body of Christ by recommendations and greetings in order that the God of peace may crush Satan under our feet and we may enjoy the rich grace of Christ (Rom. 16:1-16, 21-24, 20). In Romans 16 the apostle Paul greeted the saints one by one, mentioning at least twenty-seven names…. Moreover, he greeted the saints generally. This shows that he had a considerable amount of knowledge, understanding, and care with regard to every one of them. Such recommendations and greetings show both the mutual concern among the saints and the mutual fellowship among the churches. It is by the churches’ fellowship in the Body that the God of peace will crush Satan under our feet and we will be able to enjoy the rich grace of Christ. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 5, “The Experience of God’s Organic Salvation Equaling Reigning in Christ’s Life,” p. 516) According to Ephesians 1:22-23, the goal of God’s economy is the church, which is Christ’s Body. The highest peak of the Lord’s recovery that can really, practically, and actually carry out God’s economy is for God to produce not many local churches in a physical way but an organic Body to be His organism. We all have a physical body, but our body actually is not the reality of our being…. Likewise, the churches set up around the globe are a physical frame, but among the churches there may be no reality of the Body of Christ. The thought of blending is very strong in the Bible. In the Old Testament there is a type of the blending for the fulfillment of God’s economy…. This type of the blending is strongly referred to by the apostle Paul. In 1 Corinthians 10:17 Paul says, “Seeing that there is one bread, we who are many are one Body; for we all partake of the one bread.” Paul’s thought of the church being one bread was not his own invention; rather, it was taken from the Old Testament. The meal offering in Leviticus 2:4 consisted of cakes made of fine flour mingled with oil…. That is blending. Paul tells us that the church is a bread, a cake, made of fine flour. This fine flour comes from wheat grains, and the wheat grains come from the one grain of wheat, which is Christ [John 12:24]…. We are the many grains so that we may be ground into fine flour for making the cake, the bread, of the church. The truth of blending is in the holy Word, [but] hardly anyone speaks about blending because this is not only very high and deep but also very mysterious. It is not a physical matter.
