召会作基督的身体，乃是三一神的生机体，而召会的建造是借着我们与神调和，以神的增长而长大，并被神变化以供应神，使我们得成全成为一，为着神的建造─弗一22~23，四4，16，利二4~5，西二19，徒六4，约十七23，参弗四11~13：
The church as the Body of Christ is the organism of the Triune God, and the building up of the church is by our being mingled with God to grow with the growth of God and to be transformed by God to minister God for us to be perfected into one for the building of God—Eph. 1:22-23; 4:4, 16; Lev. 2:4-5; Col. 2:19; Acts 6:4; John 17:23; cf. Eph. 4:11-13:

Eph. 4:11-13:
一
真实的建造乃是在生命里的长大，（林前三6~12上，弗二21~22，）真实的建造乃是在生命里的变化，（罗十二2，）真实的建造也是身体的一，就是在三一神里的一。（弗四4~6，12~13，约十七21，23。）
Real building is the growth in life (1 Cor. 3:6-12a; Eph. 2:21-22), real building is the transformation in life (Rom. 12:2), and real building is the oneness of the Body, the oneness in the Triune God (Eph. 4:4-6, 12-13; John 17:21, 23).

二
神与人的调和与身体的一，乃是圣经和我们基督徒生活的中心事物；这一就象温度计，能给我们看见我们在调和里有多少；与神调和的结果乃是身体的一─林前六17，十二13和注1。
The mingling of God with man and the oneness of the Body are the central matters in the Bible and in our Christian life; the oneness is like a thermom-eter—it can tell us how much we are in the mingling; the result of being mingled with God is the oneness of the Body—1 Cor. 6:17; 12:13, and footnote 1.

三
神与人的调和，产生生命里的长大与变化；这调和的发生是借着我们吃、喝、消化、并吸收基督作我们属灵的食物和饮料─约六57，63，林前十3~4。
The mingling of God and man causes the growth and transformation in life, and this mingling takes place by our eating, drinking, digesting, and assimilat-ing Christ as our spiritual food and drink—John 6:57, 63; 1 Cor. 10:3-4.

四
我们越借着吃喝基督而享受祂，就越经历内里属灵新陈代谢的变化，这变化就是召会的长大和建造─耶十五16，约四10，14，罗十二2，太十六18。
The more we enjoy Christ by eating and drinking Him, the more we experience the inner spiritual metabolism of transformation, which is both the growth and the building up of the church—Jer. 15:16; John 4:10, 14; Rom. 12:2; Matt. 16:18.

五
神的经纶就是将祂自己作到我们里面，使我们经历属灵的消化和吸收；这样一种新陈代谢的过程，使我们借着全人给祂有信道而变化，为着神的建造─弗三16~19，太五3，8，赛六六1~2，诗五一10~12。
God's economy is to work Himself into us so that we may experience the meta-bolic process of spiritual digestion and assimilation for our transformation by giving Him the thoroughfare in our whole being for God's building—Eph. 3:16-19; Matt. 5:3, 8; Isa. 66:1-2; Psa. 51:10-12.

六
召会借着属灵新陈代谢的过程而有的生机建造，事实上就是耶和华在撒下七章十二至十四节上半，对大卫所说的预言；惟有借着这种过程，人性（人的后裔）才能成为神圣的（神的众子）。
The organic building up of the church through the process of spiritual metab-olism is actually what Jehovah prophesied to David in 2 Samuel 7:12-14a; it is only through this process that something human—the human seed—can become divine—the sons of God.

马太十三章启示基督是撒种者，神圣生命的分配者，将祂自己这生命的种子，生命的话，种到我们人的灵同人的心里，使基督这神圣的种子在我们里面长大，作神的耕地，神的建筑─约十10下，太五3，十三3，8，18~23，可四14，约六68，可十二30，林前三9：
Matthew 13 reveals that Christ is the Sower, the Distributor of the divine life, to sow Himself as the life seed, the word of God, into our human spirit with the human heart to grow Christ as the divine seed in us for God's farm, God's building—John 10:10b; Matt. 5:3, 8; 13:3, 8, 18-23; Mark 4:14; John 6:68; Mark 12:30; 1 Cor. 3:9:

一
为着基督这生命的种子在我们里面长大，我们必须天天与主交往，使我们在灵里贫穷，在灵里倒空，承认我们若离了是灵的基督，离了新的、同在的、“现在”的基督，我们就一无所有、一无所知、一无所能、并且一无所是─太五3，约八58。
For the growth of Christ as the life seed in us, we must deal with the Lord daily to be poor in spirit, to be emptied in our spirit, acknowledging that we have nothing, know nothing, can do nothing, and are nothing apart from Christ as the Spirit, the new, present, and "now" Christ—Matt. 5:3; John 8:58.
