We need to experience the resurrection life of Christ as the power that enables us to overcome money and material possessions; giving money and material things in resurrection is a strong indication that we are under God's administration in resurrection and have overcome the possession of material riches—Acts 2:44-45; 4:32-35; 1 Cor. 16:1-3.
陆 
我们若要为着基督身体的实际,凭基督复活的生命而活,就需要:
If we would live by the resurrection life of Christ for the reality of the Body of Christ, we need:
一 
让那叫耶稣从死人中复活者的灵住在我们里面,用神的生命浸透我们,借此就将生命赐给我们必死、渐死的身体,叫身体活过来,以完成神的旨意─罗八11,十二2。
To allow the Spirit of the One who raised Jesus from the dead to dwell in us and saturate us with the divine life and thereby give life to our mortal, dying body so that it may be enlivened to carry out God's will—Rom. 8:11; 12:2.

活在里面生命的管治之下,并珍赏生命的恩典过于神奇的能力─提后四20。
To live under the discipline of the inner life and appreciate the grace in life more than miraculous power—2 Tim. 4:20.

If we live by the resurrection life of Christ for the reality of the Body of Christ, we will be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that our labor is not in vain in the Lord—1 Cor. 15:58:
一 
我们在主复活的生命里,用主复活的大能为祂劳苦,绝不会徒然,但借着向罪人传扬基督,对圣徒供应生命,并用对经过过程之三一神的经历作金、银、宝石来建造召会,其结果必要完成神永远的定旨─参赛四九4。
Our labor for the Lord in His resurrection life with His resurrection power will never be in vain, but will result in the fulfilling of God's eternal purpose through the preaching of Christ to sinners, the ministering of life to the saints, and the building up of the church with the experiences of the processed Triune God as gold, silver, and precious stones—cf. Isa. 49:4.
二 
到义人复活时,我们这劳苦必要得着再来之主的赏赐─林前三14,太二五21,23,路十四14。
This labor will be rewarded by the returning Lord in the day of the resur-rection of the righteous—1 Cor. 3:14; Matt. 25:21, 23; Luke 14:14.
