壹
召会是神心头的愿望；神在今时代的愿望，就是要得着召会─弗一5、9、22~23：
The church is the heart's desire of God; the desire of God in this age is tohave the church—Eph. 1:5, 9, 22-23:

召会是神永远经纶里隐藏的奥秘─11、22~23节，三4、9~11，西二2。
The church is the hidden mystery in God's eternal economy—vv. 11, 22-23; 3:4,9-11; Col. 2:2.
The church is the hidden mystery in God's eternal economy—vv. 11, 22-23; 3:4,9-11; Col. 2:2.
二
按照以弗所三章九节，创造与召会有关；神创造万有（包括人），祂的心意是要人与神调和，以产生召会─启四11，罗十二2。
According to Ephesians 3:9, there is a relationship between creation and thechurch; God's intention in His creation of all things, including man, was thatman would be mingled with God to produce the church—Rev. 4:11; Rom. 12:2.

关于神在祂经纶中对召会的定旨，有三个主要的项目：
Concerning God's purpose for the church in the economy of God, there are threemain items:
Concerning God's purpose for the church in the economy of God, there are threemain items:
１
神对召会的定旨是要召会有儿子的名分，并且神要借着许多成熟的众子得着彰显─弗一5：
God's purpose for the church is that the church would have the sonship andthat God would be expressed through many matured sons—Eph. 1:5:
God's purpose for the church is that the church would have the sonship andthat God would be expressed through many matured sons—Eph. 1:5:
ａ
神永远的定旨乃是要将祂自己在基督里作到我们里面，好使祂完全与我们调和，并借着我们得彰显─三16~17、21。
God's eternal purpose is to work Himself in Christ into us so that He maybe thoroughly mingled with us and expressed through us—3:16-17, 21.
God's eternal purpose is to work Himself in Christ into us so that He maybe thoroughly mingled with us and expressed through us—3:16-17, 21.
ｂ
我们在受造以前，就被神预定、标出，要成为神的儿子；因此，我们这些神的造物需要由祂重生，好得着祂的生命，成为祂的儿子─一5，约三3、6。
We were predestinated, marked out, by God to be sons of God before wewere created; hence, as God's creatures, we need to be regenerated by Himthat we may have His life to be His sons—1:5; John 3:3, 6.
We were predestinated, marked out, by God to be sons of God before wewere created; hence, as God's creatures, we need to be regenerated by Himthat we may have His life to be His sons—1:5; John 3:3, 6.
ｃ
儿子的名分，不仅含示儿子的生命，也含示儿子的地位；神所标出的人，有生命成为祂的儿子，也有地位承受祂─罗八14~15、17、29，来二10。
Sonship implies having not only the life of a son but also the position ofa son; God's marked-out ones have the life to be His sons and the positionto inherit Him—Rom. 8:14-15, 17, 29; Heb. 2:10.
Sonship implies having not only the life of a son but also the position ofa son; God's marked-out ones have the life to be His sons and the positionto inherit Him—Rom. 8:14-15, 17, 29; Heb. 2:10.
２
神对召会的定旨是要使仇敌得知祂的智慧，并借着召会对付祂的仇敌─弗三10，创一26：
God's purpose for the church is to make His wisdom known to the enemyand to deal with His enemy through the church—Eph. 3:10; Gen. 1:26:

ａ
借着召会作为凭借，诸天界里执政的、掌权的，就得知神万般的智慧─弗三9。
The church is the means through which God's multifarious wisdom ismade known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenlies—Eph. 3:9.
The church is the means through which God's multifarious wisdom ismade known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenlies—Eph. 3:9.
ｂ
在神的经纶里，召会是神最大的夸耀，使祂的仇敌得知祂万般的智慧，好羞辱并击败祂的仇敌─10节，罗十六20。
The church in the economy of God is God's greatest boast in makingknown His multifarious wisdom for the shame and defeat of His enemy—v. 10; Rom. 16:20.
The church in the economy of God is God's greatest boast in makingknown His multifarious wisdom for the shame and defeat of His enemy—v. 10; Rom. 16:20.
ｃ
我们需要异象，看见主如何使用召会以击败祂的仇敌并恢复地─创一26~27，启十一15，十二10。
We need a vision of how the Lord will use the church to defeat His enemyand recover the earth—Gen. 1:26-27; Rev. 11:15; 12:10.
We need a vision of how the Lord will use the church to defeat His enemyand recover the earth—Gen. 1:26-27; Rev. 11:15; 12:10.
３
神对召会的定旨是要借着召会，使万有在基督里归一于一个元首之下─弗一10、22：
God's purpose for the church is to head up all things in Christ through thechurch—Eph. 1:10, 22:
God's purpose for the church is to head up all things in Christ through thechurch—Eph. 1:10, 22:
ａ
二十二节启示，归一于一个元首之下乃是向着召会的，使召会得以分享基督这位元首的一切。
Verse 22 reveals that this heading up is to the church so that the churchmay share in all that is of Christ as the Head.
Verse 22 reveals that this heading up is to the church so that the churchmay share in all that is of Christ as the Head.
ｂ
召会是借着基督将祂自己作为生命作到我们里面，使我们满了光，而使万有在基督里归一于一个元首之下─10、22~23节。
The church is for the heading up of all things in Christ through the workingof Himself into us as life that we may be full of light—vv. 10, 22-23.
The church is for the heading up of all things in Christ through the workingof Himself into us as life that we may be full of light—vv. 10, 22-23.
ｃ
召会借着这生命被建造起来，我们也在基督的元首权柄之下，受生命之光的管制─四15~16，约八12，西一13。
The church is built up by this life, and we are under the control of thelight of life under Christ's headship—4:15-16; John 8:12; Col. 1:13.
The church is built up by this life, and we are under the control of thelight of life under Christ's headship—4:15-16; John 8:12; Col. 1:13.

The church is both universal and local—Matt. 16:18; 18:17.
The church is both universal and local—Matt. 16:18; 18:17.
五
我们需要被关于召会的异象抓住，并付代价好受这异象支配并照此生活─徒二六18上，罗十二2。
We need to be captured by the vision of the church and pay the price to begoverned by this vision and live according to it—Acts 26:18a; Rom. 12:2.
We need to be captured by the vision of the church and pay the price to begoverned by this vision and live according to it—Acts 26:18a; Rom. 12:2.
贰
我们看见召会的异象之后，就需要看见基督身体的异象─弗一17~18、22~23，四16，罗十二5，林前十二13、27：
After we have seen the vision of the church, we need to see the vision ofthe Body—Eph. 1:17-18, 22-23; 4:16; Rom. 12:5; 1 Cor. 12:13, 27:
After we have seen the vision of the church, we need to see the vision ofthe Body—Eph. 1:17-18, 22-23; 4:16; Rom. 12:5; 1 Cor. 12:13, 27:
一
基督的身体是召会内在的意义─弗一22~23：
The Body of Christ is the intrinsic significance of the church—Eph. 1:22-23:
The Body of Christ is the intrinsic significance of the church—Eph. 1:22-23:
１
神的召会是架构，而基督的身体乃是生机体：
The church of God is the frame, and the Body of Christ is the organism:
The church of God is the frame, and the Body of Christ is the organism:
ａ
如果没有身体，召会就没有意义。
If there were no Body, the church would have no meaning.
If there were no Body, the church would have no meaning.
ｂ
没有身体，召会是没有意义的，但有了身体，召会就有内在的意义。
Without the Body, the church makes no sense, but with the Body, thereis the intrinsic significance of the church.
Without the Body, the church makes no sense, but with the Body, thereis the intrinsic significance of the church.
２
我们若自认为是个别的召会或个别的信徒，我们就完了；我们该看我们众人是一个身体─罗十二4~5。
If we consider ourselves as individual churches or as individual believers,we are through; we should consider ourselves as one Body—Rom. 12:4-5.
If we consider ourselves as individual churches or as individual believers,we are through; we should consider ourselves as one Body—Rom. 12:4-5.
二
基督的身体是三一神与在基督里之信徒的神圣构成─弗四4~6：
The Body of Christ is a divine constitution of the Triune God with the believersin Christ—Eph. 4:4-6:
The Body of Christ is a divine constitution of the Triune God with the believersin Christ—Eph. 4:4-6:
１
父、子、灵与人调和并建造在一起，成为基督的身体，就是四而一的团体生机实体─4~6节。
The Father, the Son, the Spirit, and man are blended and built together tobecome the Body of Christ, a four-in-one corporate organic entity—vv. 4-6.

The Body of Christ is the means for God to carry out His administration—Rom.12:4-5; Eph. 1:22-23; 1 Cor. 12:12-13, 25, 27:
The Body of Christ is the means for God to carry out His administration—Rom.12:4-5; Eph. 1:22-23; 1 Cor. 12:12-13, 25, 27:
１
基督的身体与神的行政有彻底、绝对的关系；若没有基督的身体，神就没有凭借、没有路完成祂的行政。
The Body of Christ is thoroughly and absolutely related to God's administration;apart from the Body of Christ, God has no means, no way, to carry outHis administration.
The Body of Christ is thoroughly and absolutely related to God's administration;apart from the Body of Christ, God has no means, no way, to carry outHis administration.
２
神永远的定旨是要得着一班得救、重生的人，他们成为一，作生机的身体，以执行祂的行政─弗三10~11，四16，林前一2，十二12~13、27。
God's eternal purpose is to have a group of saved and regenerated peoplewho have become one to be an organic Body to carry out His administration—Eph. 3:10-11; 4:16; 1 Cor. 1:2; 12:12-13, 27.

３
基督的身体─召会─是为着基督在地上的行动；如今头正借着身体施行神的行政─十一3，十二12。
The Body of Christ, the church, is for Christ's move on earth; the Head isnow operating God's administration through the Body—11:3; 12:12.
The Body of Christ, the church, is for Christ's move on earth; the Head isnow operating God's administration through the Body—11:3; 12:12.
四
基督的身体乃是团体的基督─12~13节：
The Body of Christ is the corporate Christ—vv. 12-13:
The Body of Christ is the corporate Christ—vv. 12-13:

The corporate Christ is composed of Christ Himself as the Head and thechurch as His Body with all the believers as His members—Acts 9:4.
３
所有在基督里的信徒，都与祂有生机的联结（罗十二4~5），并都是用祂的生命和元素所构成的（西三4、11），成为祂的身体这个生机体，以彰显祂；因此，基督不仅是头，也是身体─团体的基督─林前十二12。
All the believers in Christ are organically united with Him (Rom. 12:4-5) andconstituted with His life and element (Col. 3:4, 11) and have thus becomeHis Body, an organism to express Him; hence, Christ is not only the Headbut also the Body—the corporate Christ—1 Cor. 12:12.

３
地方召会在存在上有许多，但就宇宙一面，在元素上仍是一个身体；众地方召会在宇宙一面、在道理一面、在实行一面，都是一个身体，也应当是一个身体─弗四4，林前四17，七17，十一16，十四34，十六1。
The local churches are many in existence but are still one Body universallyin element; the local churches are and should be one Body universally, doctrinally,and practically—Eph. 4:4; 1 Cor. 4:17; 7:17; 11:16; 14:33; 16:1.
