壹
因着召会经过许多世纪的历史已经堕落了，就需要照着圣经所启示神原初的心意和标准而有恢复─参王下二二8，拉一3~11，尼二11，17，太十九8，启十八4：
Because the church has become degraded through the many centuries of its history, it needs to be restored according to God's original intention and standard as revealed in the Scriptures—cf. 2 Kings 22:8; Ezra 1:3-11; Neh. 2:11, 17; Matt. 19:8; Rev. 18:4:

二
在撒但的毁坏之后，神进来重作祂从前所作的；这种重作就是祂的恢复，就是将一切因着神仇敌撒但而失落或破坏的带回来─约壹三8下。
After Satan's destruction, God came in to redo the things that He had done before; this redoing is His recovery, which is to bring back whatever has been lost and destroyed by God's enemy, Satan—1 John 3:8b.

撒但黑暗的权势，不能胜过神的旨意，就是要建造祂的召会作祂团体的彰显─太十六18。
Satan's authority of darkness shall not prevail against the will of God to build up His church for His corporate expression—Matt. 16:18.

神原初的心意，是要人接受祂神圣的生命和神圣的性情，因而成为神的彰显─创一26，二7~9：
God's original intention is that man may receive His divine life and divine nature and thereby become God's expression—Gen. 1:26; 2:7-9:

一
神创造人时，乃是造出祂自己的复本；（一26；）其它一切活物都是各从其类造的，（11~12，21，24~25，）人却是从神类造的。（参徒十七28~29上。）
In creating man, God made a duplicate, a copy, of Himself (1:26); all the other living things were created according to their kind (vv. 11-12, 21, 24-25), but man was created according to God's kind (cf. Acts 17:28-29a).

二
神按祂的形像造人，（创一26，）而基督是那不能看见之神的像，（西一15，林后四4，）因此亚当是按着基督的形像造的（创一26）：
God created man in His image (Gen. 1:26), and Christ is the image of the invisible God (Col. 1:15; 2 Cor. 4:4); thus, Adam was created in the image of Christ (Gen. 1:26):

这表明神要基督进到人里面，并借人得着彰显─二9，约十10下，腓一20~21上，弗五27。
This shows that God intended that Christ would enter into man and be expressed through man—2:9; John 10:10b; Phil. 1:20-21a; Eph. 5:27.

Satan has a strategy to spoil and damage the expression of God—2 Thes. 2:7; cf. 1 Tim. 3:15-16a:
ａ
撒但第一类的活动乃是产生许多基督的代替品，就如人的哲学、（西二8，参一12、）犹太教、（来八6，九23，十5~10、）律法、（加三1~3，24，一15~16上，二20，四10、）以及恩赐、神迹和人的智慧。（林前一22~23，十二31。）
The first category of Satan's activity is to produce many substitutes for Christ, such as human philosophy (Col. 2:8; cf. 1:12), Judaism (Heb. 8:6; 9:23; 10:5-10), the law (Gal. 3:1-3, 24; 1:15-16a; 2:20; 4:10), and gifts, signs, and human wisdom (1 Cor. 1:22-23; 12:31).

己就是那向神宣告独立的魂；己是独立的“我”。
The self is the soul declaring independence from God; the self is the independent "I," the independent "me."

二
身体的仇敌就是己；身体最大的难处、最大的拦阻和反对，也是己─太十六18，参23~26。
The enemy of the Body is the self; the greatest problem, the greatest frus-tration and opposition, to the Body is the self—Matt. 16:18; cf. vv. 23-26.

我们若凭我们的生命和我们的性情活着，而彰显我们自己，就没有神的荣耀；我们彰显自己时，就没有一，只有分裂─参约叁9。
If we live by our life and our nature to express ourselves, there will be no glory of God; in the expression of ourselves there is no oneness but only division—cf. 3 John 9.
If we live by our life and our nature to express ourselves, there will be no glory of God; in the expression of ourselves there is no oneness but only division—cf. 3 John 9.

The blending of the Body requires the self to be crossed out; blending requires us to be by the Spirit to dispense Christ and to do everything for the sake of His Body so that God may have His corporate expression—12:24.
