罗十二5 我们这许多人，在基督里是一个身体，并且各个互相作肢体，也是如此。

　　腓三10　 使我认识基督、并祂复活的大能、以及同祂受苦的交通，模成祂的死。

　　〔有些人〕可能认为主的恢复只是为着地方召会的恢复。我说“不错”，然而有一个“但是”。……地方召会有许多显于物质事物的方面。你必须安排长老、设立执事，以照顾许多外面的事务。但就基督的身体而言，没有物质的事物。地方召会几乎百分之九十是物质的，但却该是为着属灵的一面，这属灵的一面就是基督的身体。

　　基督身体的实际乃是一种团体的生活，不是个人的生活。这团体的生活是许多圣徒的集大成，这些圣徒被他们里面那经过过程并终极完成的神所救赎、重生、圣别并变化。借着这内住之终极完成的神，这些蒙救赎的圣徒就被作成实际的神人（李文集一九九四至一九九七年第一册，一五七页）。

　　Rom. 12:5 So we who are many are one Body in Christ, and individually members one of another.

　　Phil. 3:10 To know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death.

　　[Some] may consider that the recovery is for the recovery of the local churches. I say yes with a but…The local churches are too much in the expression of physical things. You have to arrange the elders and set up the deacons to take care of so many outward affairs. But with the Body of Christ there are no physical things. The local churches are nearly ninety percent physical, but they should be for something spiritual, and this spiritual thing is the Body of Christ.

　　The reality of the Body of Christ is a kind of corporate living, not a living by any individual. This corporate living is the aggregate of many saints who have been redeemed, regenerated, sanctified, and transformed by the processed and consummated God within them. By this indwelling consummated God, these redeemed saints have been made actual God-men. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 1, “The Practical Points concerning Blending,” p. 127)

　　一个人在重生时就成为神人，但还不是成熟的神人。……召会工作的手续是生、养，然后教导并成全，好叫圣徒能够成熟，在地方召会中被建造，为着建造基督的身体。

　　我们知道，神成为人，来作神人。……祂向祂的门徒和百姓显为真正的人。……但这人不凭自己活，不凭祂自己人的生命活。相反的，祂拒绝祂属人的生命。祂否认自己。……祂告诉我们，凡祂所作，凡祂所说的，都不是出于祂自己，而是出于差祂来的父（约十四10、24）。祂是一个真实的人活在那里，但却向祂天然的生命死。……祂向天然的生命死，就是十字架；祂凭着神的生命而活，就是在复活里。……这位神人耶稣，乃是一个真正的人，……但祂不凭那个真正的人活着，而是把那个真正的人一直摆在十字架上。然后，在复活的意义上，祂活出神的生命。神的生命，带着其一切的属性，从这神人耶稣里面活出来，彰显为这神人的美德。

　　这〔在个人耶稣基督里的〕生命现今已经在许多人身上被重复、复制出来，这些人蒙了救赎、重生，如今在他们里面有神的生命。……基督身体的实际乃是被成全之神人所过的团体生活，他们是真正的人，但他们不凭自己的生命，乃凭经过过程之神的生命而活；经过过程之神的属性借着他们的美德彰显出来。

　　保罗活着，是借死而活〔加二20上〕。他向他天然的人死，而凭他的新人同神圣的生命活着。所以他说，借着耶稣基督之灵全备的供应，他活基督，并显大基督（腓一19~21上）。

　　基督身体的实际不仅仅是一个团体的生活，也是一个调和的生活。……这生活还在调和之中，尚未完成，仍在进行。……这种调和的生活，乃是在基督的复活里，而这复活的实际就是那灵。

　　假若在我们中间有这样的生活（即使不是全部，至少也是部分），那么基督身体的实际就在我们中间了。……任何一个人过这样一种调和的生活，就绝不会成为任何人的难处。他们已经蒙拯救脱离自己，得着变化，得着成全了。他们不藐视别人，不定罪别人，也不受别人的搅扰。他们不会有分于异议、背叛和分裂。反之，他们要在这里，在主的恢复里作耶路撒冷的高峰—锡安山（李文集一九九四至一九九七年第一册，一五七至一六二页）。

　　In regeneration a person is made a God-man, but he is not a matured God-man…The procedure in the church work is to beget, to nourish, and then to teach and perfect so that the saints may be mature to be built in the local churches for the building up of the Body of Christ.

　　We know that God became a man to be a God-man…He appeared to His disciples and to the people as a genuine man…Yet this man would not live by Himself, by His own human life. Rather, He rejected His human life. He denied Himself…He told us that whatever He did and whatever He spoke were not of Himself but of the Father who sent Him (John 14:10, 24). He was a real man living there, yet He was dying to His natural life…That dying to His natural life is the cross, and His living by the divine life is in resurrection. [Jesus was a human being, a genuine man], but He did not live by that genuine man. Instead, He kept that genuine man on the cross. Then, in the sense of resurrection, He lived God’s life. God’s life with all its attributes was lived within this God-man Jesus and expressed as this God-man’s virtues.

　　This life [in an individual man, Jesus Christ], has now been repeated, reproduced, in many men who have been redeemed and regenerated and who now possess the divine life within them…The reality of the Body of Christ is the corporate living by the perfected God-men, who are genuine men but are not living by their life but by the life of the processed God, whose attributes have been expressed through their virtues.

　　Paul lived by dying to live [cf. Gal. 2:20]. He was dying to his natural man and living by his new man with the divine life. So he said that by the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, he lived and magnified Christ (Phil. 1:19-21a).

　　The reality of the Body of Christ is not just a corporate living but a mingling living…This living is not completed; it is still going on…Such a mingling living is in the resurrection of Christ, and the reality of this resurrection is the Spirit.

　　If among us there is, if not in full at least in part, such a living, the reality of the Body of Christ is among us…Anyone who lives such a mingling life would never be a trouble to anyone. They have been delivered out of themselves and have been transformed and perfected. They would not despise or condemn anyone, nor would they be bothered by others. They would not have anything to do with dissension, rebellion, or division. Instead, they would be here in the recovery as the high peak, Mount Zion, in Jerusalem.
