读经:弗二21,四15~16,西二19,林前三6~7,歌六4,13
Scripture Reading: Eph. 2:21; 4:15-16; Col. 2:19; 1 Cor. 3:6-7; S. S. 6:4, 13
壹 
基督─大卫的子孙和更大的所罗门,建造召会作神的殿,乃是借着信徒在神圣生命里的长大,以及他们在神圣生命里联结一起─弗二21,四15~16,西二19:
Christ, the Son of David and the greater Solomon, builds the church as the temple of God through the believers' growth in the divine life and their being joined together in the divine life—Eph. 2:21; 4:15-16; Col. 2:19:
一 
在基督这房角石里面,全房联结一起,长成在主里的圣殿─弗二21:
In Christ, who is the cornerstone, all the building is fitted together and is growing into a holy temple in the Lord—Eph. 2:21:
1 
联结一起,就是使之适合于全房的情形和处境。
To be fitted together is to be made suitable for the condition and situation of the building.
2 
这房是活的,(彼前二5,)所以是在长大,长成在主里的圣殿。
Since the building is living (1 Pet. 2:5), it is growing; it grows into a holy temple in the Lord.
3 
召会真实的建造,乃是借着信徒生命的长大─太十六18,弗二21,四15~16:
The actual building up of the church is by the believers' growth in life— Matt. 16:18; Eph. 2:21; 4:15-16:
a 
召会这神的殿的建造,乃是借着信徒生命的长大;生命的长大就是建造─林前三6~9,16~17,弗四15~16。
The building of the church as the temple of God is by the believers' growth in life; the growth in life is the building—1 Cor. 3:6-9, 16-17; Eph. 4:15-16.
b 
我们在神圣的生命里长大,并在神圣的生命里联结一起时,我们就在建造里─二21。
When we grow in the divine life and when we are joined together in the divine life, we are in the building—2:21.
4 
神的家,即神的圣所,全部的建筑都是在主基督里─21节。
The entire building of God's house, God's sanctuary, is in Christ the Lord—v. 21.
二 
以弗所四章十六节与歌罗西二章十九节说到基督身体的长大:
Ephesians 4:16 and Colossians 2:19 speak of the growth of the Body:
1 
长大就是得着基督加增在们里面─林前三6~7,加四19。
To grow is to have Christ added into us—1 Cor. 3:6-7; Gal. 4:19.
2 
身体的长大在于从基督作元首所出的─弗四15~16:
The growth of the Body depends on what comes out of Christ as the Head— Eph. 4:15-16:
a 
身体借持定元首而得供应,身体就以神的增长而长大─西二19。
When the Body is supplied by holding the Head, the Body grows with the growth of God—Col. 2:19.
b 
身体是从元首长大的,因为一切的供应都来自元首─弗四15。
The Body grows out from the Head, for all the supply comes from the Head—Eph. 4:15.
3 
身体的长大在于神在我们里面的增长、增加、加多─西二19:
The growth of the Body depends on the growth of God, the addition of God, the increase of God, within us—Col. 2:19:
a 
神是以主观的方式,把祂自己赐给我们,使我们生长。
God gives the growth by giving Himself to us in a subjective way.
b 
神越加到我们里面,就越使我们生长;这就是神使人生长的路─林前三6~7。
The more that God is added into us, the more growth He gives to us; this is the way God gives the growth—1 Cor. 3:6-7.
贰 
在雅歌中,我们看见信徒在生命里的长大,为着神的建造:
In Song of Songs we see a believer's growth in life for God's building:

因着寻求者是这么爱那位蒙爱者,她就在生命的长大里,经历不断的变化和长进:

基督的佳偶借着活在基督的升天里,作复活里的新造,而在基督生命的丰富里成熟,使她成为神的建造及其保障,就是圣城─4节上,参创二8~12,18~24:
Through her living in Christ's ascension as the new creation in resurrection, the lover of Christ becomes mature in the riches of the life of Christ so that she becomes the building of God and its safeguard, the holy city—v. 4a; cf. Gen. 2:8-12, 18-24:

我们借着有份于雅歌所启示神圣罗曼史的四个阶段,得以成为神的居所,就是祂的圣所,至圣所─歌一2~3,二14,四8,六4,启二一9~10,16。

在旧约里,神的建造是由得撒和耶路撒冷所预表;在新约里,这建造乃是基督生机的身体─16节。
In the Old Testament the building of God is typified by Tirzah and Jerusalem; in the New Testament this building is the organic Body of Christ—v. 16.

至终,基督生机身体(也是基督的妻子─五25~32)的建造,要终极完成圣城新耶路撒冷,作至圣所的终极完成─启二一2~3,16,22。
Ultimately, the building up of the organic Body of Christ, which is also Christ's wife (5:25-32), will consummate the New Jerusalem, the holy city as the consummation of the Holy of Holies—Rev. 21:2-3, 16, 22.
3 
借着十字架的对付,我们成为神的圣所;这圣所乃是至圣所,就是神自己─歌六4上:
Through the dealing of the cross, we become the sanctuary of God; this sanctuary is the Holy of Holies, which is God Himself—S. S. 6:4a:
a 
我们进到至圣所里面,就是进到神里面而成为圣所,也就是说,我们在生命和性情上成为神─来十19~20。
When we enter into the Holy of Holies, we enter into God and become the sanctuary, becoming God in life and nature—Heb. 10:19-20.
