壹
我们需要看见有关己的异象，使己被暴露并否认，并使我们恨恶向着神并向着基督身体的独立─太十六21~26，约十五4~5，门8~14：
We need to see a vision of the self so that the self may be exposed and deniedand that we may hate our independence from God and from theBody—Matt. 16:21-26; John 15:4-5; Philem. 8-14:

Our soul-life is embodied and lived out by our self, and our self is expressedthrough our mind, idea, thought, concept, and opinion—vv. 22-23.
二
己是撒但的具体化身；己是魂里撒但的素质，使魂向神独立，发表魂自己的意见和自己的意志─23节：
The self is the embodiment of Satan; the self is the essence of Satan in the soul,making the soul independent from God to express its self-opinion and self-will—v. 23:
The self is the embodiment of Satan; the self is the essence of Satan in the soul,making the soul independent from God to express its self-opinion and self-will—v. 23:

The origin of the self was Satan's injecting his thought into the humanmind—Gen. 3:1-6.
The origin of the self was Satan's injecting his thought into the humanmind—Gen. 3:1-6.
２
当属撒但的东西加到魂里，魂就成了己；那加到魂里的东西，就是撒但的思想或心思─太十六23，林后十一3。
The soul became the self when something of Satan was added to the soul;the thing that was added to the soul was the thought, or the mind, of Satan—Matt. 16:23; 2 Cor. 11:3.
The soul became the self when something of Satan was added to the soul;the thing that was added to the soul was the thought, or the mind, of Satan—Matt. 16:23; 2 Cor. 11:3.

The self is the soul plus the satanic mind—Matt. 16:23, 25.
三
我们若看见己的异象，就会看见己是什么─己就是那向神宣告独立的魂─23节，路十四26，伯四二5~6：
If we have a vision of the self, we will see what the self is—the self is the souldeclaring its independence from God—v. 23; Luke 14:26; Job 42:5-6:

The self is something of Satan in the soul expressed through theopinions—v. 23.
The self is something of Satan in the soul expressed through theopinions—v. 23.
㈡
我们有意见作为己的化身和表显，只因为我们向神独立；我们越向神独立，我们就越有意见作为己的表显。
We have opinions as the incarnation and manifestation of the selfbecause we are independent of God; the more we are independent ofGod, the more we have opinions as the manifestation of the self.
We have opinions as the incarnation and manifestation of the selfbecause we are independent of God; the more we are independent ofGod, the more we have opinions as the manifestation of the self.
２
每当我们凭自己作事而不倚靠神时，我们就在己里─22~23节，参腓三3。
Whenever we do something by ourselves without depending on God, we arein the self—vv. 22-23; cf. Phil. 3:3.

The Body is versus the self, and the self is the enemy of the Body—Matt.16:18, 23.
The Body is versus the self, and the self is the enemy of the Body—Matt.16:18, 23.
二
因着己是向主并向身体独立的，所以己是基督身体建造最大的难处─西一18，二1~19、23：
Because the self is something independent of the Lord and of the Body, the selfis the greatest problem to the building up of the Body—Col. 1:18; 2:1-19, 23:
Because the self is something independent of the Lord and of the Body, the selfis the greatest problem to the building up of the Body—Col. 1:18; 2:1-19, 23:

When we have the Body, we do not have the self—v. 18; Eph. 4:16.
三
我们该否认我们自己，认同身体；我们若这样作，我们所过的生活就完全是身体的生活，主也就能得着祂身体的彰显─林前十二27，西一18，三15。
We should deny ourselves and identify ourselves with the Body; if we do this,the life we live will fully be the Body life, and the Lord will gain the expressionof His Body—1 Cor. 12:27; Col 1:18; 3:15.
We should deny ourselves and identify ourselves with the Body; if we do this,the life we live will fully be the Body life, and the Lord will gain the expressionof His Body—1 Cor. 12:27; Col 1:18; 3:15.
四
为了使身体建造起来，己，就是独立的魂，必须被定罪、否认、拒绝并弃绝─太十六18、21~26，路九23~25。

For a person to overly care for himself is for him to love the self and to alwayslook at, think about, and consider himself—2 Tim. 3:2.
二
否认己，就是忘记我们的己并丧失我们的魂生命；丧失魂生命乃是否认己的实际─太十六26，路九24~25。
To deny the self is to forget about our self and to forfeit our soul-life; losing thesoul-life is the reality of denying the self—Matt. 16:26; Luke 9:24-25.
To deny the self is to forget about our self and to forfeit our soul-life; losing thesoul-life is the reality of denying the self—Matt. 16:26; Luke 9:24-25.

３
我们需要将基督所成就、我们所承认之基督的死，应用在我们自己身上；这是背十字架正确的意义─太十六24：

４
背十字架就是留在基督之死的杀死里，以了结我们的己、天然生命和旧人；我们这样作就是否认己，使我们能跟从在我们灵里作赐生命之灵的主，就是复活的基督─林前十五45下，六17，加五25。
To bear the cross is to remain under the killing of the death of Christ for theterminating of our self, natural life, and old man; in so doing, we deny theself so that we may follow the Lord, the resurrected Christ, as the life-givingSpirit in our spirit—1 Cor. 15:45b; 6:17; Gal. 5:25.

For the church life as the living of this new man, we must reject our old personand live by Christ as our new person—Luke 9:23-25; Rom. 6:6; Gal. 2:20.
