在约伯身上我们看见灵神变化的工作，以完成那藏在神心里的事，使我们能得着神，而在生命、性情和显出上，但不在神格上成为神，使神得着团体的彰显─伯十13，四二5~6，弗三9，林后三18。
With Job we see God the Spirit in His transforming work to carry out what is hidden in God's heart that we might gain God to become God in life, in nature, and in appearance but not in the Godhead for the corporate expression of God—Job 10:13; 42:5-6; Eph. 3:9; 2 Cor. 3:18.

挪亚的生活和工作启示恩典能为堕落的人作多少事；恩典就是奇妙的基督作我们的担负者，在我们里面为我们作每一件事，为着给我们享受─1~14节，太二四37~39，林后十二7~9：
Noah's life and work reveal how much grace can do for fallen people; grace is the wonderful Christ as our burden-bearer, doing everything in us on our behalf for our enjoyment—vv. 1-14; Matt. 24:37-39; 2 Cor. 12:7-9:

The flesh is the presence of the devil, and grace is the presence of God; in order for us to face the presence of Satan, we need the presence of God— Gen. 6:3, 8; Rom. 7:17-21; Heb. 4:16; 1 Cor. 15:10.

１
圣经里神的头一个建造乃是挪亚的方舟，表征基督是神和人的建造；神的建造乃是一个神人─约一14，二19，林前三9，16~17，启二一2，22，弗二22，诗二七4。
The first building of God in the Scriptures is Noah's ark, signifying Christ as the building of God and man; God's building is a God-man—John 1:14; 2:19; 1 Cor. 3:9, 16-17; Rev. 21:2, 22; Eph. 2:22; Psa. 27:4.

方舟的建造预表以基督丰富的元素为建造的材料，建造团体的基督，就是召会作为基督的身体─太十六18，林前三9~12上，弗三8~10，四12。
The building of the ark typifies the building of the corporate Christ, the church as the Body of Christ, with the element of Christ's riches as the building material—Matt. 16:18; 1 Cor. 3:9-12a; Eph. 3:8-10; 4:12.

３
方舟的三层表征我们所经历的三一神；那灵由第一层所表征，把我们带到子那里，（彼前一2，约十六8，13~15，）子在我们的经历中把我们带到第三层的父那里。（十四6，弗二18，约壹一5，四8。）
The three stories of the ark signify the Triune God according to our experience of Him; the Spirit, signified by the lower story, brings us to the Son (1 Pet. 1:2; John 16:8, 13-15), and the Son brings us higher in our experience to the Father (14:6; Eph. 2:18; 1 John 1:5; 4:8).

４
方舟的第三层只有一个向着天的窗，表征在召会这神的建造中，借着一个新约的职事只有一个启示和一个异象─创六16，徒二六19，箴二九18上，提前一3~4，林后三6~9，四1。
On the third story of the ark there was only one window, toward the heavens, signifying that in the church, God's building, there is only one revelation and one vision through the one New Testament ministry—Gen. 6:16; Acts 26:19; Prov. 29:18a; 1 Tim. 1:3-4; 2 Cor. 3:6-9; 4:1.

凡为神所用以转移时代的人，都是今天的拿细耳人，就是那些以奉献为彩饰，将自己甘心献给主的人─民六1~8，诗一一〇3，参士七13~18。
All those who are used by God to turn the age are today's Nazarites, those who offer themselves willingly to the Lord in the splendor of their consecration— Num. 6:1-8; Psa. 110:3; cf. Judg. 7:13-18.

"Then Jehovah answered Job" (Job 38:1a); "then Job answered Jehovah" (42:1a); "and Jehovah turned the captivity of Job" (v. 10a):
一
约伯朋友的逻辑是按照善恶知识树的线，他们认为约伯受苦是神审判的事；然而，约伯的受苦乃是神的销毁，使神得着约伯，好使他更多得着神─九15，十一12，十三4，腓三8，12~13：
The logic of Job's friends was according to the line of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in their thinking that Job's sufferings were a matter of God's judgment; however, Job's sufferings were God's consuming that God might gain Job so that he might gain God more—9:15; 11:12; 13:4; Phil. 3:8, 12-13:

１
神在约伯身上的目的，是要拆毁那在自己的完全和正直里天然的约伯，使神能建立一个有神的性情和属性，得更新的约伯─伯一1，多三5。
God's intention with Job was to tear down the natural Job in his perfection and uprightness that He might build up a renewed Job in God's nature and attributes—Job 1:1; Titus 3:5.

２
神的目的是要将约伯引进对神更深的追求，使约伯领悟他人生所短缺的乃是神自己，使他追求神、得着神、并彰显神─西二19。
God's intention was to usher Job into a deeper seeking after God that Job might realize that what he was short of in his human life was God Himself and that he might pursue God, gain God, and express God—Col. 2:19.

二
约伯记启示圣经六十六卷书只说到一件事：神在基督里借着那灵，要将祂自己分赐到我们里面，作我们的生命、性情和一切，使我们能活基督并彰显基督；这该是管制我们生活的原则─伯十13，弗三9，腓三8~9，弗一22~23，二15，启二一2。
Job reveals that the Bible of sixty-six books is for only one thing: for God in Christ by the Spirit to dispense Himself into us to be our life, our nature, and our everything that we may live Christ and express Christ; this should be the principle that governs our life—Job 10:13; Eph. 3:9; Phil. 3:8-9; Eph. 1:22-23; 2:15; Rev. 21:2.
Job reveals that the Bible of sixty-six books is for only one thing: for God in Christ by the Spirit to dispense Himself into us to be our life, our nature, and our everything that we may live Christ and express Christ; this should be the principle that governs our life—Job 10:13; Eph. 3:9; Phil. 3:8-9; Eph. 1:22-23; 2:15; Rev. 21:2.
三
在这原则里生活并工作的路，乃是借着操练我们的灵，凭那灵、以那灵、在那灵里、并借那灵而成为一切，并作一切─加五25，罗八4，腓三3，启二7，二二17上。
The way to live and work in this principle is to be and do everything by the Spirit, with the Spirit, in the Spirit, and through the Spirit by exercising our spirit—Gal. 5:25; Rom. 8:4; Phil. 3:3; Rev. 2:7; 22:17a.
