每一位爱主，要达到神标准的信徒，都应当成为新约的执事─弗四11~12，提前一16：
Every believer who loves the Lord and who wants to come up to God's standard should become a minister of the new covenant—Eph. 4:11-12; 1 Tim. 1:16:

二
我们要作新约的执事，就要一种为着基督身体的缘故，将基督供应给人的生命─太二四45~46。
In order to be new covenant ministers we need a life of ministering Christ to others for the sake of His Body—Matt. 24:45-46.

This excellent marvelous ministry needs excellent ministers with an excellent life, whose living and being matches their doing.
贰
我们与神同工，需要借着一种生命，而不是借着什么恩赐，这种生命是全丰富全足、全然成熟、能适应一切情形、能忍受任何对待、接受任何遭遇、在任何景况下工作、并利用任何机会的，以完成他们的职事─创五24，来十一5，约十四6上，徒二七22~25：
We need to work together with God by a life (not by any gift) that is all-sufficient and all-mature, able to fit all situations, able to endure any kind of treatment, to accept any kind of environment, to work under any kind of condition, and to take any kind of opportunity, for the carrying out of their ministry—Gen. 5:24; Heb. 11:5; John 14:6a; Acts 27:22-25:

与神同工的意思是，我们是在神里面；惟有在神里面的人，能把别人带到神里面─林后五20。

To work together with God means that we are in God; only a person who is in God can bring others into God—2 Cor. 5:20.
二
我们若要有适应一切的生命，就需要有宽宏的心，就是能容纳神所有子民的心─林后六11~13，代下一10，王上四29：
If we would have an all-fitting life, we need an enlarged heart, a heart to embrace all of God's people—2 Cor. 6:11-13; 2 Chron. 1:10; 1 Kings 4:29:
If we would have an all-fitting life, we need an enlarged heart, a heart to embrace all of God's people—2 Cor. 6:11-13; 2 Chron. 1:10; 1 Kings 4:29:
１
因生命长大成熟而宽宏，相当于与神完全和好。
To be enlarged by growing and maturing in life is equivalent to being fully reconciled to God.
To be enlarged by growing and maturing in life is equivalent to being fully reconciled to God.
２
宽宏的心，使我们能容纳所有的信徒，不论他们的光景如何；张开的口，使我们能率直的向所有的信徒指出他们误入歧途的真实光景─太五7，六14~15，七1~2。
With an enlarged heart we are able to embrace all believers regardless of their condition, and with an opened mouth we are free to speak to all believers frankly concerning the real situation into which they have been misled—Matt. 5:7; 6:14-15; 7:1-2.

３
我们必须宽宏，有供应的生命中对人亲密的关切─林后七2~3，帖前二8，腓二19~20：
We need to be enlarged to have the intimate concern of the ministering life—2 Cor. 7:2-3; 1 Thes. 2:8; Phil. 2:19-20:
We need to be enlarged to have the intimate concern of the ministering life—2 Cor. 7:2-3; 1 Thes. 2:8; Phil. 2:19-20:
ａ
我们若有才能作一种工作，却缺少亲密的关切，我们的工作就没有果子。
If we have ability to carry on a work but lack an intimate concern, our work will be fruitless.
If we have ability to carry on a work but lack an intimate concern, our work will be fruitless.
ｂ
我们有多少果子，不在于我们能作什么，乃在于我们是否有一种亲密的关键─林前十二31下，九22，太九12。
How fruitful we are does not depend upon what we are able to do, but on whether or not we have an intimate concern—1 Cor. 12:31b; 9:22; Matt. 9:12.
How fruitful we are does not depend upon what we are able to do, but on whether or not we have an intimate concern—1 Cor. 12:31b; 9:22; Matt. 9:12.
ｃ
供应的生命乃是一种在耶稣的人性里顾惜人而使人得温暖，好在基督的神性里以基督的丰富喂养人的生命─弗五29。
A ministering life is a life that warms up others by cherishing them in the humanity of Jesus to nourish them in the divinity of Christ with the riches of Christ—Eph. 5:29.
