“我又看见圣城新耶路撒冷”─启二一2上：
"I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem"—Rev. 21:2a:
"I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem"—Rev. 21:2a:
一
新耶路撒冷是一座城，代表神的国─10节：
The New Jerusalem is a city representing the kingdom of God—v. 10:
The New Jerusalem is a city representing the kingdom of God—v. 10:
１
按照圣经的意义说，城是运用权柄的中心；因此，城象征国度─诗四六4，四八1~2。
According to the scriptural meaning, a city is a center for the exercise of authority; therefore, the city symbolizes the kingdom—Psa. 46:4; 48:1-2.
According to the scriptural meaning, a city is a center for the exercise of authority; therefore, the city symbolizes the kingdom—Psa. 46:4; 48:1-2.
２
召会是殿，乃是神的家，神居住的地方；召会是城，乃是神的国，神治理的地方─弗二19、21~22。
As the house, the church is God's home, the place of His dwelling; as the city, the church is God's kingdom, the place of His ruling—Eph. 2:19, 21-22.
As the house, the church is God's home, the place of His dwelling; as the city, the church is God's kingdom, the place of His ruling—Eph. 2:19, 21-22.
３
殿主要的是与基督作生命有关，城主要的是与基督作元首有关─西三4，一18，二19。
The house is mainly with Christ as life, and the city is mainly with Christ as the Head—Col. 3:4; 1:18; 2:19.
The house is mainly with Christ as life, and the city is mainly with Christ as the Head—Col. 3:4; 1:18; 2:19.
４
当我们领悟基督不仅是我们的生命，也是我们的元首，召会就不仅是殿，并且还是城─弗一22~23，四15。
When we realize that Christ is not only our life but also our Head, the church will be not only the house but also the city—Eph. 1:22-23; 4:15.
When we realize that Christ is not only our life but also our Head, the church will be not only the house but also the city—Eph. 1:22-23; 4:15.

圣经首先陈明国度，然后陈明召会；国度的出现产生了召会─太四23，十六18~19：
The Bible first presents the kingdom and thereafter presents the church; the presence of the kingdom produces the church—Matt. 4:23; 16:18-19:
The Bible first presents the kingdom and thereafter presents the church; the presence of the kingdom produces the church—Matt. 4:23; 16:18-19:
１
神的生命就是神的国度；神圣的生命就是国度，这生命产生召会─约三3、5，太七14、21，十九17、29，二五46。
The life of God is the kingdom of God; the divine life is the kingdom, and this life produces the church—John 3:3, 5; Matt. 7:14, 21; 19:17, 29; 25:46.
The life of God is the kingdom of God; the divine life is the kingdom, and this life produces the church—John 3:3, 5; Matt. 7:14, 21; 19:17, 29; 25:46.
２
国度的福音产生召会，因为国度就是生命本身，而召会乃是生命的结果─四23，徒八12。
The gospel of the kingdom brings forth the church because the kingdom is the life itself, and the church is the issue of life—4:23; Acts 8:12.
The gospel of the kingdom brings forth the church because the kingdom is the life itself, and the church is the issue of life—4:23; Acts 8:12.
三
国度是召会的实际；因此，我们离了国度的生命，就不能过召会生活─太五3，十六18~19，启一4~6、9：
The kingdom is the reality of the church; therefore, apart from the kingdom life, we cannot live the church life—Matt. 5:3; 16:18-19; Rev. 1:4-6, 9:
The kingdom is the reality of the church; therefore, apart from the kingdom life, we cannot live the church life—Matt. 5:3; 16:18-19; Rev. 1:4-6, 9:
１
诸天之国的实际（太五~七）乃是召会生活的内容；没有国度的实际，召会生活就是空洞的。
The reality of the kingdom of the heavens (Matt. 5—7) is the content of the church life; without the reality of the kingdom, the church life is empty.
The reality of the kingdom of the heavens (Matt. 5—7) is the content of the church life; without the reality of the kingdom, the church life is empty.
２
国度的生命产生召会生活；当我们团体地在国度的生命里生活，我们自然就过召会生活─罗十四17。
The kingdom life issues in the church life; as we live corporately in the kingdom life, we spontaneously live the church life—Rom. 14:17.
The kingdom life issues in the church life; as we live corporately in the kingdom life, we spontaneously live the church life—Rom. 14:17.
３
没有国度作召会的实际，召会就不能被建造─太十六18~19：
Without the kingdom as the reality of the church, the church cannot be built up—Matt. 16:18-19:

The keys of the kingdom are given to make the building of the church possible—v. 19; 18:18; cf. John 20:23.
The keys of the kingdom are given to make the building of the church possible—v. 19; 18:18; cf. John 20:23.
ｂ
当诸天的国能在一班信徒身上施行权柄，那一班信徒就能被建造成为召会─西二19，弗四15~16。
When the kingdom of the heavens is able to assert its authority over a company of believers, those believers can be built up into the church— Col. 2:19; Eph. 4:15-16.

１
以弗所二章十九节的“同国之民”一辞指明神的国，就是神运用祂权柄的范围。

２
启示录一章六节的“国度”一辞启示，召会在哪里，神的国就在哪里；召会代表国度。
The word kingdom in Revelation 1:6 reveals that where the church is, there the kingdom of God is; the church represents the kingdom.

３
虽然今天召会是神的国，但唯有当我们在灵里，而不在天然人里生活、行动、为人时，我们才在国度的实际里─罗八4，加五16、25。
Although the church today is God's kingdom, we are in the kingdom in reality only when we live, walk, and have our being in the spirit, not in our natural man—Rom. 8:4; Gal. 5:16, 25.

We need to live a kingdom life in the church, growing and developing in the divine life until we reach maturity—2 Cor. 13:14; 2 Pet. 1:5-11.
We need to live a kingdom life in the church, growing and developing in the divine life until we reach maturity—2 Cor. 13:14; 2 Pet. 1:5-11.
５
今天召会必须是圣城新耶路撒冷的小影，是神得以运用祂权柄的中心─启一11，二一2、10，二二16上。
The church today must be a miniature of the holy city, the New Jerusalem, a center where God may exercise His authority—Rev. 1:11; 21:2, 10; 22:16a.

１
圣经中心而神圣的思想乃是：神在寻找一个建造，就是祂自己与人性的调和─创二22~23，启二一2、9~11。
The central and divine thought of the Scriptures is that God is seeking a building as the mingling of Himself with humanity—Gen. 2:22-23; Rev. 21:2, 9-11.

五
作为新妇，召会需要美丽；以弗所五章二十七节的美丽，是为着新妇的献上─参歌四7，六4上、10上，七6：
As the bride, the church needs beauty; the beauty in Ephesians 5:27 is for the presentation of the bride—cf. S. S. 4:7; 6:4a, 10a; 7:6:
