一
我们需要在基督的降卑上经历祂；也就是说，我们需要经历祂是倒空自己并降卑自己的那一位─6~8节：

Christ, the Son of God, had a very high position; He possessed the form of God and the right to be equal with God—v. 6a.
２
祂不以自己与神同等为强夺之珍，紧持不放，反而倒空自己，取了奴仆的形状，成为人的样式；基督放弃祂高的地位，不仅取了人的形状，也取了奴仆的形状─6下~7节。
He did not regard equality with God a treasure to be grasped but emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave, becoming in the likeness of men; Christ gave up His high standing and took the form not only of a man but also of a slave—vv. 6b-7.

我们里面该思念基督耶稣里面所思念的─5节：
The mind that was in Christ Jesus should be in us—v. 5:
The mind that was in Christ Jesus should be in us—v. 5:

当基督倒空自己，并且降卑自己的时候，祂里面也有这种思念和心思─7~8节：

To have in us the mind that was in Christ Jesus requires us to be one with Christ in His inward parts—1:8.

基督不仅是我们的榜样；祂也是我们的生命，这生命乃是钉十字架的生命─西三4，加二20，腓一21上：
Christ is not only the pattern for us; He is also our life, and this life is a crucified life—Col. 3:4; Gal. 2:20; Phil. 1:21a:
Christ is not only the pattern for us; He is also our life, and this life is a crucified life—Col. 3:4; Gal. 2:20; Phil. 1:21a:
１
基督降卑的七步乃是钉十字架之生命的各方面；祂顺从至死在十字架上，乃是钉十字架之生命完满且绝对的活了出来─二6~8。
The seven steps of Christ's humiliation are all aspects of the crucified life; His being obedient unto the death of the cross was the crucified life lived out in a full and absolute way—2:6-8.

Whenever we experience Christ and live Christ, we live the One who is the pattern of a crucified life—1:21a.
Whenever we experience Christ and live Christ, we live the One who is the pattern of a crucified life—1:21a.

如果我们里面没有基督这钉十字架的生命，我们绝不能照着腓立比二章所陈明的榜样生活；惟有钉十字架的生命才能活出这榜样─二5~8节。
If we did not have Christ as the crucified life within us, we could never live according to the pattern presented in Philippians 2; only the crucified life can live such a pattern—vv. 5-8.

作成我们的救恩，乃是以基督为我们榜样的结果─12节：
Working out our salvation is the result of taking Christ as our pattern—v. 12:

在我们里面运行的神，实际上就是耶稣基督的灵─一19：
The God who operates in us is actually the Spirit of Jesus Christ—1:19:
The God who operates in us is actually the Spirit of Jesus Christ—1:19:
ａ
惟有借着耶稣基督之灵全备的供应，我们才能以基督为我们的榜样；借着耶稣基督的灵，我们才能像耶稣一样的谦卑，并且借着耶稣基督的灵，我们各人才能看别人比自己强─二3~4。
Only by the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ can we take Christ as our pattern; by the Spirit of Jesus Christ we can be as humble as Jesus was, and by the Spirit of Jesus Christ we can consider one another more excellent than ourselves—2:3-4.
Only by the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ can we take Christ as our pattern; by the Spirit of Jesus Christ we can be as humble as Jesus was, and by the Spirit of Jesus Christ we can consider one another more excellent than ourselves—2:3-4.

基督这榜样乃是在我们里面，作为耶稣基督的灵从我们里面活出祂自己─加二20，腓二5~8，一19~21上。

我们与神的运行合作时，就是以基督为我们的榜样，过倒空自己并降卑自己的生活，像祂所过的一样─二3~8。

贰
腓立比三章一至六节，陈明基督是信徒追求的标竿；基督是我们的标竿，意思是祂乃是至高的享受：
In Philippians 3:1-16 Christ is presented as the goal of the believers' pursuit; for Christ to be our goal means that He is the highest enjoyment:
In Philippians 3:1-16 Christ is presented as the goal of the believers' pursuit; for Christ to be our goal means that He is the highest enjoyment:
一
我们的标竿既是要赢得基督，就该弃绝一切别的事物，不追求别的，只追求基督─4~8节：
Since our goal is to gain Christ, we should forsake all other things and pursue nothing but Christ—vv. 4-8:

The "all things" in verse 8 must certainly include the three categories of religious things, philosophical things, and cultural things—vv. 4-7.

保罗将万事看作亏损，因为这些都是基督的代替品，是撒但所利用的圈套，叫人远离基督，无法经历基督─7节。
Paul counted all these things as loss because they were substitutes for Christ, hooks used by Satan to keep people from Christ and from the experience of Christ—v. 7.
Paul counted all these things as loss because they were substitutes for Christ, hooks used by Satan to keep people from Christ and from the experience of Christ—v. 7.
二
我们要以基督为我们独一的标竿，就需要以认识基督为至宝─8节，加一15~16：
In order to take Christ as our unique goal, we need to have the excellency of the knowledge of Christ—v. 8; Gal. 1:15-16:
In order to take Christ as our unique goal, we need to have the excellency of the knowledge of Christ—v. 8; Gal. 1:15-16:
１
我们应当像保罗一样，对至宝的基督有认识。
Like Paul, we should have the knowledge of Christ in His excellency.
Like Paul, we should have the knowledge of Christ in His excellency.
２
这认识是指对基督和祂的宝贵有启示，有异象；我们对基督的宝贵需要有这样的异象。
This knowledge refers to a revelation, a vision, concerning Christ and His excellency; we need to have such a vision of the preciousness of Christ.
This knowledge refers to a revelation, a vision, concerning Christ and His excellency; we need to have such a vision of the preciousness of Christ.
三
保罗追求基督，渴望给人看出他是在基督里面，作“一个在基督里的人”而活，并有基督作他惟一的彰显─腓三9，林后十二2：
In pursuing Christ, Paul desired that he would be found in Christ, living as "a man in Christ" and having Christ as his unique expression—Phil. 3:9; 2 Cor. 12:2:

Paul aspired to have his whole being immersed in and saturated with Christ so that all who observed him would find him fully in Christ.
Paul aspired to have his whole being immersed in and saturated with Christ so that all who observed him would find him fully in Christ.
２
保罗渴望给人看出他是在基督里面，关于这渴望，他说他不是要有自己的义，乃是有那借着信基督而有的义，就是那基于信、本于神的义─腓三9：
Concerning the aspiration to be found in Christ, Paul said that he wanted to have not his own righteousness but the righteousness which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is out of God and based on faith— Phil. 3:9:
Concerning the aspiration to be found in Christ, Paul said that he wanted to have not his own righteousness but the righteousness which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is out of God and based on faith— Phil. 3:9:
ａ
不是有我们自己的义，乃是有那本于神的义，这是给人看出在基督里面的条件。
Not having our own righteousness but having the righteousness which is out of God is the condition for being found in Christ.
Not having our own righteousness but having the righteousness which is out of God is the condition for being found in Christ.
ｂ
保罗要活在神的义里，并且给人看出他是在这样超越的光景里，借着活基督而彰显神─9节。
Paul wanted to live in the righteousness of God and to be found in such a transcendent condition, expressing God by living Christ—v. 9.
Paul wanted to live in the righteousness of God and to be found in such a transcendent condition, expressing God by living Christ—v. 9.
ｃ
基于信、本于神的义，就是神自己从我们活出来，成了我们在基督里借着信基督而有的义；这样的义乃是活在我们里面之神的彰显─林后三9，五17。
The righteousness which is out of God and based on faith is the righteousness that is God Himself lived out of us to be our righteousness through our faith in Christ; such righteousness is the expression of God, who lives in us—2 Cor. 3:9; 5:17.
