腓一20~21　　这是照着我所专切期待并盼望的，…无论是生，是死，总叫基督在我身体上，现今也照常显大，因为在我，活着就是基督，死了就有益处。

　　四12　　…或饱足、或饥饿、或富余、或缺乏，在各事上，并在一切事上，我都学得秘诀。

　　为了要看见神在我们里面的运行，我们略为复习一下腓立比书…。腓立比书是一卷说到我们经历基督的书。一章给我们看见，我们需要活基督并显大基督，使祂成为我们的生活和彰显。二章给我们看见，我们需要以基督为我们的榜样，将祂表明出来。在三章我们看见，我们需要追求基督，并得着基督作我们的目标。四章给我们看见，我们需要有基督为知足的秘诀。保罗在四章十二节宣告，他已经学得秘诀。他用了一个隐喻，说到一个人被引进秘密社团，受其基本原则的教导。事实上，四章的这个“秘密社团”就是基督的身体。总而言之，我们能说，在一章，基督是我们的生活和彰显；在二章，祂是我们的榜样；在三章，祂是我们的目标；在四章，祂是我们的秘诀。这四章都启示基督的某一方面，给我们经历。（李文集一九八八年第一册，五一四至五一五页。）

　　Phil. 1:20-21 According to my earnest expectation and hope that…even now Christ will be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death. For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

　　4:12 …In everything and in all things I have learned the secret both to be filled and to hunger, both to abound and to lack.

　　In order to see God’s operating in us, it would be helpful for us to have a brief review of the book of Philippians,… a book concerning our experience of Christ. Chapter 1 shows us that we need to live and magnify Christ for Him to be our living and expression. Chapter 2 shows that we need to take Christ as our pattern and hold Him forth. In chapter 3 we see that we need to pursue and gain Christ as our goal. Chapter 4 shows us that we need to have Christ as our secret of sufficiency. In verse 12 of chapter 4 Paul declares that he has learned the secret. He uses a metaphor concerning a person being initiated into a secret society with instruction in its rudimentary principles. Actually, this “secret society” in chapter 4 is the Body of Christ. In conclusion, we can say that in chapter 1 of Philippians Christ is our living and expression; in chapter 2 He is our pattern; in chapter 3 He is our goal; and in chapter 4 He is our secret. All four chapters reveal a certain aspect of Christ for us to experience. (CWWL, 1988, vol. 1, “Living in and with the Divine Trinity,” p. 371)

　　保罗…说他显大基督。显大就是显示或宣扬为大（没有限量）、高举、称赞。保罗说到耶稣基督之灵全备的供应；他也说，在他，活着就是基督。到腓立比书末了，保罗说，“众圣徒，尤其是该撒家里的人，都问你们安。”（四22。）该撒家里的人，包括所有联属于尼罗宫廷的人。这些人有的因与保罗接触，悔改信主，成了罗马城在基督里的信徒。毫无疑问的，该撒家里有一些人因为看见了在保罗里面的基督，而成了基督徒。…神在我们里面的运行，从外面看没有什么奇特，但按属灵的意义看却是重大的事。（李文集一九八八年第一册，五一七页。）

　　照着腓立比二章十三节，神一直在我们里面运行。我们的救恩不仅仅是一次的举动；乃是一个活的人位，就是三一神自己，在我们里面不断地运行。保罗在十三节所说的神乃是三一神—父、子、灵。照着约翰十四章，父与子是一，子与灵是一。

　　腓立比一章十九节说到耶稣基督之灵全备的供应。毫无疑问，那供应我们的灵，就是住在我们里面的那灵。但是，这位灵也不能与在我们里面运行的神分开。我们若…整体来看本书的全文，我们就会看见，那在我们里面运行的神，乃是三一神—父、子、灵。这位神就是在我们里面的基督，（林后十三3上，5，）也就是在我们里面的那灵。（罗八11。）

　　在腓立比二章十三节保罗说，“因为乃是神为着祂的美意，在你们里面运行，使你们立志并行事。”这样的立志发生在我们里面的何处？必定是在我们的意志里。这指明神的运行开始于我们的灵，…扩展到我们的心思、情感和意志里。…基督的恩与我们的灵同在。〔四23。〕然而，神的运行使我们在里面立志，不仅与我们的灵有关，也与我们的意志有关。因此，神的运行必须从我们的灵扩展到我们的意志里。…当神在我们里面运行，使我们立志，祂就能执行祂的工作。这与罗马八章相符：神的工作（运行）乃是开始于我们的灵，（4，）经过我们的心思，（6，）至终达到我们的身体。（11。）我们的意志定意，而我们的身体行事。三一神在我们里面运行，乃是开始于我们的灵，经过我们的意志，然后进入我们的身体。（腓立比书生命读经，一二三至一二五页。）

　　Paul says that he magnified Christ. To magnify is to show or declare great (without limitation), to exalt, and to extol. Paul speaks of the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, and he says that for him to live is Christ. At the end of Philippians Paul says, “All the saints greet you, and especially those of Caesar’s household” (4:22). Caesar’s household comprised all who were attached to the palace of Nero. Some of these were converted through contact with Paul and became believers in Christ in Rome. No doubt, some in Caesar’s household became Christians because they saw Christ in Paul…. God’s operating in us is not outwardly spectacular, but in a spiritual sense it is a great matter. (CWWL, 1988, vol. 1, “Living in and with the Divine Trinity,” p. 373)

　　According to Philippians 2:13, God is operating in us. Our salvation is not merely an action; it is a living Person, the Triune God Himself, operating in us. The God Paul speaks of in 2:13 is the Triune God, the Father, the Son, and the Spirit. According to chapter 14 of John, the Father is one with the Son, and the Son is one with the Spirit.

　　Philippians 1:19 speaks of the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ. There can be no doubt that the Spirit who supplies us is the Spirit who indwells us. But this Spirit cannot be separate from the God who operates in us. If we… consider the context of the book as a whole, we shall see that the God who operates in us is the Triune God. He is the Father, the Son, and the Spirit. He is the very God who is Christ in us (2 Cor. 13:3a, 5) and the Spirit dwelling in us (Rom. 8:11).

　　In Philippians 2:13 Paul says that God operates in us “both the willing and the working for His good pleasure.” Where within us does this willing take place? It must be in our will. This indicates that God’s operation begins from our spirit and spreads into our mind, emotion, and will….The grace of Christ is with our spirit [4:23]. However, God’s operating to will in us involves not only our spirit but also our will. Therefore, God’s operation must spread from our spirit into our will. As God operates the willing within us, He carries out His working. This corresponds to Romans 8, where we see that God works not only in our spirit, but also in our mind and eventually in our physical body (vv. 6,11). We will in our will, and we work in our body. The Triune God operates in us from our spirit, through our will, and then into our physical body. (Life-study of Philippians, pp. 103-104)
