To the believers Christ is righteousness—1 Cor. 1:30; Phil. 3:9; 2 Cor. 5:21:
一 
基督自己就是我们的义;因为神已经使基督,神自己的化身,成了我们的义─林前一30。

基督是我们客观和主观的义─罗三24~26,四25,徒十三39,加三24下,27,太五20,启十九8:
Christ is both our objective and subjective righteousness—Rom. 3:24-26; 4:25; Acts 13:39; Gal. 3:24b, 27; Matt. 5:20; Rev. 19:8:
1 
作为我们客观的义,基督乃是我们在祂里面得神称义的那一位─罗三24~26:
As our objective righteousness, Christ is the One in whom we are justified by God—Rom. 3:24-26:
a 
客观的义是我们相信基督时所得着的基督,为使我们得神称义─26节。
Objective righteousness is the Christ we received when we believed in Him in order to be justified by God—v. 26.
b 
在基督(我们在神前客观的义)里,我们按照神义的标准蒙神称义,称许─徒十三39,加三24下,27。
In Christ as our objective righteousness before God, we are justified, approved by God according to the standard of His righteousness—Acts 13:39; Gal. 3:24b, 27.
2 
作为我们主观的义,基督乃是住在我们里面的那一位,为我们活出能得神称义,且蒙神悦纳的生活─罗四25,彼前二24上,雅二24,太五20,启十九8:
As our subjective righteousness, Christ is the One dwelling in us to live for us a life that can be justified by God and that is always acceptable to Him— Rom. 4:25; 1 Pet. 2:24a; James 2:24; Matt. 5:20; Rev. 19:8:
a 
主观的义乃是从我们所活出之内住的基督,作我们日常生活中的义─加二20,腓一21上,太五20。
Subjective righteousness is the indwelling Christ lived out of us as our righteousness in our daily living—Gal. 2:20; Phil. 1:21a; Matt. 5:20.
b 
当我们活这位基督并彰显祂,祂就成为我们每天的义─约六57下,腓一21上,启十九8。
When we live this Christ and express Him, He becomes our daily right-eousness—John 6:57b; Phil. 1:21a; Rev. 19:8.
c 
我们信徒不仅需要客观的接受基督作我们的义,也需要主观的活祂作我们的义─路十五22~23。
As believers, we need not only to receive Christ as our righteousness objectively but also to live Him as righteousness subjectively—Luke 15:22-23.
d 
在腓立比三章九节里,主观的义乃是神在基督里成了我们的日常生活;这生活于神、于人都是对的:
The subjective righteousness in Philippians 3:9 is God in Christ becom-ing our daily living, a living that is right with God and man:
㈠ 
我们不该活在自己的义里,就是出于自我努力而有的义;我们自己的义是我们自己的彰显,我们自己的活出─9节。
We should not live in our own righteousness, the righteousness that comes from self-effort; our own righteousness is the expression of ourselves, the living out of ourselves—v. 9.
㈡ 
于神、于人都是对的生活,乃是神在基督里作我们日常生活中的彰显,就是神在基督里借着我们活出来─一20~21上,三9。
The living that is right with both God and man is God in Christ as our expression in our daily living, God in Christ lived out through us—1:20-21a; 3:9.
e 
作我们主观之义的基督乃是我们的生命;(西三4;)祂是我们所活并彰显为义的那一位;这就是马太五章二十节所说超凡的义。
The Christ who is our subjective righteousness is our life (Col. 3:4); He is the One whom we live and express as righteousness; this is the sur-passing righteousness mentioned in Matthew 5:20.
三 
基督作我们的义与信徒对祂的经历和享受有关;我们越接触祂、经历祂并享受祂,就越在祂里面成为义的─林前一30,十3~4,六17。
Christ as our righteousness is related to the believers' experience and enjoy-ment of Him; the more we contact Him, experience Him, and enjoy Him, the more righteous we become in Him—1 Cor. 1:30; 10:3-4; 6:17.
四 
我们需要与神和好到这样的地步,使我们在基督里成为神的义─林后五18~21:
We need to be reconciled to God to such an extent that we become the right-eousness of God in Christ—2 Cor. 5:18-21:
1 
我们不仅蒙神称义(加二16)─我们实际上成了神的义─林后五21。
Not only are we justified by God (Gal. 2:16)—we actually become the right-eousness of God—2 Cor. 5:21.
2 
在复活里基督进入我们里面作生命,祂这生命活在我们里面,将我们构成神的义─加二20。
In resurrection Christ comes into us as life, and as life He lives within us to constitute us into the righteousness of God—Gal. 2:20.
3 
林后五章二十一节里“在祂里面”这辞,意思是与基督联合─不仅是在地位上,也是在复活里在生机上;我们在与基督生机的联合里,被作成神的义。
The phrase in Him in 2 Corinthians 5:21 denotes union with Christ, not only positionally but also organically in resurrection; in the organic union with Christ we are made the righteousness of God.
4 
在基督里成为神的义,乃是在我们的所是上与神是对的;这就是我们内里的所是成为透明的,明亮如水晶─一个符合神的心思和意志的内里所是─21节。
To become the righteousness of God in Christ is to become right with God in our being; this is to have an inner being that is transparent and crystal clear—an inner being in the mind and will of God—v. 21.
贰 
基督乃是信徒的生命─西三4,约十一25,约壹五11~12:
To the believers Christ is life—Col. 3:4; John 11:25; 1 John 5:11-12:
一 
歌罗西三章四节说到“基督是我们的生命”:
Colossians 3:4 speaks of "Christ our life":
1 
基督是神,也是生命;那原是神的生命,神所是的生命,就在基督里面─约一4,约壹五11~12。
Christ is God and also life; the life which is God, the life that God is, is in Christ—John 1:4; 1 John 5:11-12.
2 
主耶稣说祂是生命,并且祂来要叫我们得生命─约十一25,十10。
The Lord Jesus said that He is life and that He came so that we may have life—John 11:25; 10:10.
3 
人有了基督,就有生命,现今基督住在信徒里面作生命─约壹五11~12。
He who has Christ has life, and Christ now dwells in the believers as life— 1 John 5:11-12.
二 
生命是一个人位,就是神的儿子基督;神圣的生命既是一个人位,我们就该接触祂、爱祂、经历祂、享受祂、与祂是一、活祂并彰显祂─11~12节,约十一25,十四6,林前六17,腓一20~21上。
Life is a person, Christ the Son of God; since the divine life is a person, we should contact Him, love Him, experience Him, enjoy Him, be one with Him, live Him, and express Him—vv. 11-12; John 11:25; 14:6; 1 Cor. 6:17; Phil. 1:20-21a.
三 
基督是我们的生命,这有力的指明,我们要以祂为生命而因祂活着─约六57下,十四19:
The fact that Christ is our life is a strong indication that we are to take Him as life and live because of Him—John 6:57b; 14:19:
1 
我们应该在日常生活中活基督,以经历歌罗西书中所启示那宇宙般延展无限的基督─一15~19,二2,9,16~17,三10~11。
We should live Christ in our daily life in order to experience the univer-sally extensive Christ revealed in the book of Colossians—1:15-19; 2:2, 9, 16-17; 3:10-11.
2 
我们若以基督为生命而活祂,那么祂一切所是并所达到的,对我们就不仅仅是客观的,也成为我们主观的经历─一27,三4。
If we take Christ as our life and live Him, then all that He is and has attained will not remain merely objective to us but will become our subjective experience—1:27; 3:4.
四 
神的生命就是基督的生命,基督的生命又成了我们的生命,因此对我们是主观到了极点的─4节,约五26。
The life of God is the life of Christ, and the life of Christ has become our life and thus is subjective to us to the uttermost—v. 4; John 5:26:
1 
不可能把一个人和他的生命分开,因为人的生命就是人自己;因此,说基督是我们的生命,意思就是,基督成了我们,我们与祂同有一个生命和生活─十四6上,腓一21上。
It is impossible to separate a person from the life of that person, for a per-son's life is the person himself; thus, to say that Christ is our life means that Christ has become us and that we have one life and living with Him— 14:6a; Phil. 1:21a.
2 
基督是信徒的生命,有三个特点:
With Christ as the believers' life there are three characteristics:
a 
这生命是钉十字架的生命─加二20。
This life is a crucified life—Gal. 2:20.
b 
这生命是复活的生命─约十一25。
This life is a resurrected life—John 11:25.
c 
这生命是藏在神里面的生命─西三4,太六1~6,16~18。
This is a life hidden in God—Col. 3:4; Matt. 6:1-6, 16-18.
