"To turn them from darkness to light":
"To turn them from darkness to light":
１
我们越因着爱主耶稣，而乐意受祂这位爱我们、又可爱者的约束与管理时，就越在生命中长大，并且满了亮光；我们越对主耶稣说我们爱祂，就越得释放，脱离黑暗的权势，并受光的约束和管理─西一13。
The more we are willing to be restricted and ruled by the loving and lovable Lord Jesus out of our love for Him, the more we shall grow in life and be filled with light; the more we tell the Lord Jesus that we love Him, the more we are freed from the authority of darkness and are restricted and ruled by light—Col. 1:13.

２
在神圣的思想里，金灯台描绘具体化在基督里的三一神乃是复活的活金树─在我们里面并从我们生长、分枝、发苞、开花，作为光的果子─性质上是善的，手续上是义的，彰显上是真实的，使神得以彰显，成为我们日常行事为人的实际─出二五31~35，弗五8~9。

If a man does not know God in his lifetime, he has wasted his whole life; may the Lord make us willing to accept His dealings in our circumstances so that we may know and gain Him more—2 Cor. 4:16-18.

There is only one kind of person in this world who will consecrate himself to God—it is one who knows Him as love; there is only one kind of person in this world who is qualified to sacrifice his own joy—it is one who knows Him as grace—Isa. 7:14-15; 2 Cor. 12:7-9; 5:14-15.

ｅ
每一个人能舍得，能不为自己，能拣选难的，是因他的背后有一个大能力，就是他享受了基督最丰盛的恩，最甘甜的爱─约一16，弗三19。

The highest point in our spiritual experience is to have a clear sky with the throne above it—Ezek. 1:22, 26:
ａ
在清明的天以上有宝座，乃是让主在我们里面居首位，并在我们的生活中有最高、最优先的地位─西一18，参结十四3。
To have the throne above a clear sky is to give the Lord the preeminence in our being and the highest and most prominent position in our life—Col. 1:18; cf. Ezek. 14:3.

ｂ
我们的天越清明，我们就越在宝座之下，越在神的权柄之下；神在我们里面有宝座，意思就是神在我们里面有地位掌权─徒二四16，参罗五17。
The clearer our sky is, the more we are under the throne, under God's authority; for God to have the throne in us means that He has the position to reign in us—Acts 24:16; cf. Rom. 5:17.

To love the Lord Jesus with the first love is to give Him the first place, the preeminence, in all things; the first works are works that issue from and express our first love for the Lord—Rev. 2:4-5.

“得蒙赦罪”：
"That they may receive forgiveness of sins":
"That they may receive forgiveness of sins":
１
赦免的意思是，神使我们所犯的罪离开我们，将它们遣去─弗一7，约一29，赛五三6，彼前二24，利十六7~10，15~17，20~22，参诗一〇三1~3，12。
Forgiveness means that God causes the sins that we have committed to depart from us and sends them away—Eph. 1:7; John 1:29; Isa. 53:6; 1 Pet. 2:24; Lev. 16:7-10, 15-17, 20-22; cf. Psa. 103:1-3, 12.

２
神赦免我们的罪，结果是祂忘记我们的罪─耶三一34，来八12，赛四三25。
God's forgiveness of our sins results in His forgetting our sins—Jer. 31:34; Heb. 8:12; Isa. 43:25.
God's forgiveness of our sins results in His forgetting our sins—Jer. 31:34; Heb. 8:12; Isa. 43:25.
３
我们必须到主面前使我们一切的罪得着彻底的赦免；大卫乞求神涂抹他的过犯，将他的罪孽洗除净尽，洁除他的罪，并用牛膝草洁净他的罪─约壹一7，9，诗五一1~2，7，9：
We must go to the Lord to receive a thorough forgiveness of all our sins; David begged God to blot out his transgressions, wash him thoroughly from his iniquity, cleanse him from his sin, and purge his sin with hyssop—1 John 1:7, 9; Psa. 51:1-2, 7, 9:

ａ
牛膝草预表在谦卑和卑微人性里的基督，（王上四33上，出十二22上，）含示基督是我们的中保和祭物。（来八6，九15，十9~10。）
Hyssop typifies Christ in His humble and humiliated human nature (1 Kings 4:33a; Exo. 12:22a), implying Christ as our Mediator and sacrifice (Heb. 8:6; 9:15; 10:9-10).
Hyssop typifies Christ in His humble and humiliated human nature (1 Kings 4:33a; Exo. 12:22a), implying Christ as our Mediator and sacrifice (Heb. 8:6; 9:15; 10:9-10).
ｂ
我们和大卫一样，需要停留在神面前，有彻底并真正的悔改和认罪，从神得着完全的赦免。
Like David we need to stay in the presence of God to have a thorough and genuine repentance and confession to receive a full forgiveness from God.
Like David we need to stay in the presence of God to have a thorough and genuine repentance and confession to receive a full forgiveness from God.
ｃ
我们若承认我们的罪，而得着神的赦免，就必得着神救恩之乐，并得以维持乐意的灵；这样，我们就能教导犯罪的人祂的道路，罪人必回转归祂─诗五一12~13。
If we confess our sins to receive God's forgiveness, we will have the gladness of God's salvation and be sustained with a willing spirit; then we can teach transgressors His ways, and sinners will turn back to Him—Psa. 51:12-13.

“又因信入我，…在一切圣别的人中得着基业”：
"That they may receive…an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me":
"That they may receive…an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me":
１
这基业是三一神自己并祂所有的、所作成的、以及为祂赎民所要作的一切。
This inheritance is the Triune God Himself with all He has, all He has done, and all He will do for His redeemed people.
This inheritance is the Triune God Himself with all He has, all He has done, and all He will do for His redeemed people.
２
这位三一神化身在包罗万有的基督里面；基督是分给众圣徒的份，作他们的基业─西二9，一12。
The Triune God is embodied in the all-inclusive Christ, who is the portion allotted to the saints as their inheritance—Col. 2:9; 1:12.
The Triune God is embodied in the all-inclusive Christ, who is the portion allotted to the saints as their inheritance—Col. 2:9; 1:12.
３
我们享受是灵的基督作我们基业的凭质，（弗一14，）乃是“在一切圣别的人中”，就是在召会生活里。（参提后二22。）
We enjoy the pneumatic Christ as the pledge of our inheritance (Eph. 1:14) "among those," that is, in the church life (cf. 2 Tim. 2:22).
We enjoy the pneumatic Christ as the pledge of our inheritance (Eph. 1:14) "among those," that is, in the church life (cf. 2 Tim. 2:22).
４
我们需要在召会生活中将人带到包罗万有之基督的享受里，使他们像我们一样享受基督，并使他们借着操练他们的灵，被盖印的灵在性情上以神的圣别性情来圣别─来二10~11，林前一9，弗四30，林后四13。
We need to bring people into the enjoyment of the all-inclusive Christ in the church life so that they may enjoy Christ as we do and so that they may be sanctified dispositionally with the holy nature of God by the sealing Spirit through the exercise of their spirit—Heb. 2:10-11; 1 Cor. 1:9; Eph. 4:30; 2 Cor. 4:13.

参
我们需要向主迫切祷告，我们要经历祂作祂在行传二十六章十八节向保罗所启示之完满、全备并彻底之福音的内容；当我们这样祷告，主耶稣就要向我们显现，祂的显现将赐我们一个异象，我们就活在可称颂之神荣耀福音的实际里，并传布这神经纶的福音，直到地极─16~19节，提前一11，徒一8。
We need to pray desperately to the Lord that we want to experience Him as the content of the full, complete, and thorough gospel that He revealed to Paul in Acts 26:18; when we pray in this way, the Lord Jesus will appear to us, His appearing will give us a vision, we will live in the reality of the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, and we will spread this good news of God's economy unto the uttermost part of the earth—vv. 16-19; 1 Tim. 1:11; Acts 1:8.
