Adam typifies God in Christ as the real, universal Husband who is seeking a wife for Himself—John 3:29.
九 
亚当在神的造物中,找不到一个配偶与他相配;这是预表基督在神的造物中没有能与祂相配,作祂配偶的;因为没有一个造物是出于基督,与基督同生命、同性情、同性质,能与祂相匹相配的─创二18~20。
Adam did not find among the creatures a counterpart to match him; this typifies that none among God's creation can match Christ as His counterpart, for none was out of Christ, and none had the same life, nature, and character as Christ to be a perfect match for Him—Gen. 2:18-20.

夏娃是神用亚当身上所取的肋骨建造成的;夏娃如此出于亚当,预表召会乃是由基督所流出的生命所产生的─创二21~22。
Eve was built by God with a rib taken out of Adam; her coming out of Adam in this way typifies that the church is produced by the life which flows out of Christ—Gen. 2:21-22.

Eve was Adam's reproduction, Adam's duplication, signifying that the church is Christ's reproduction, Christ's duplication—John 3:6; 12:24.

夏娃是亚当的繁殖、扩增、丰满和彰显;照样,召会作基督的配偶,是基督的繁殖、扩增、丰满和彰显─24节,三3~6,15~16,29~30,弗一23,三21。
As Eve was Adam's multiplication, increase, fullness, and expression, the church as the counterpart of Christ is Christ's multiplication, increase, fullness, and expression—v. 24; 3:3-6, 15-16, 29-30; Eph. 1:23; 3:21.
