We have Christ crucified as our pattern, and this pattern is the crucified life within us—Gal. 2:20:

Paul not only took Christ as his living and expression outwardly but also took the mind of Christ as his mind inwardly.
Paul not only took Christ as his living and expression outwardly but also took the mind of Christ as his mind inwardly.
二
基督的心思在我们里面，意思就是这心思是活的；基督的心思其实就是基督自己，因为基督的人位显明在祂的心思里。
For the mind of Christ to be in us means that this mind is something living; actually, the mind of Christ is Christ Himself, for the person of Christ is manifested in His mind.
