壹
“为着时期满足时的经纶，要将万有，无论是在诸天之上的，或是在地上的，都在基督里归一于一个元首之下”─弗一10：
"Unto the economy of the fullness of the times, to head up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth, in Him"— Eph. 1:10:
"Unto the economy of the fullness of the times, to head up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth, in Him"— Eph. 1:10:
一
神照着祂的愿望，在祂自己里面计划并定意的经纶（economy），或经纶安排（dispensation），是要在时期满足时，将万有在基督里归一于一个元首之下。
The economy, or dispensation, that God, according to His desire, planned and purposed in Himself is to head up all things in Christ at the fullness of the times.
The economy, or dispensation, that God, according to His desire, planned and purposed in Himself is to head up all things in Christ at the fullness of the times.
二
这是借着把作生命元素的三一神丰盈生命的供应，分赐到召会所有的肢体里面，使他们从死境中起来，并联于身体而成就的。
This is accomplished through the dispensing of the abundant life supply of the Triune God as the life factor into all the members of the church so that they may rise up from the death situation and be attached to the Body.

三
“时期”一辞是指世代说的；时期满足时，就是神在所有世代的一切经纶安排完成后，新天新地来到时（经纶安排乃是分赐的行动或步骤，是指神将自己分赐到祂所拣选的人里面说的；我们需要神的元素，带着祂的生命和性情，作到我们全人里面；这就是经纶安排的意义）：
The times refers to the ages, and the fullness of the times will be when the new heaven and new earth appear after all the dispensations of God in all the ages have been completed. (A dispensation is the act or instance of dispensing. It refers to God's dispensing of Himself into His chosen people. We need the element of God with His life and nature to be wrought into our being. This is the meaning of dispensation.):

１
世代共有四个，即罪（亚当）的世代，律法（摩西）的世代，恩典（基督）的世代，和国度（千年国）的世代。
Altogether there are four ages: the age of sin (Adam), the age of the law (Moses), the age of grace (Christ), and the age of the kingdom (the millennium).
Altogether there are four ages: the age of sin (Adam), the age of the law (Moses), the age of grace (Christ), and the age of the kingdom (the millennium).
２
神将祂自己分赐到亚伯、以挪士、以诺、挪亚、亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各同约瑟、摩西里面；当然，在主耶稣身上更是如此。
God dispensed Himself into Abel, Enosh, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob with Joseph, Moses, and, of course, with the Lord Jesus.
God dispensed Himself into Abel, Enosh, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob with Joseph, Moses, and, of course, with the Lord Jesus.
３
这种分赐在新约书信中继续进行；神在今时代的经纶安排比在使徒保罗的时代更大；今天神恩典的经纶安排乃是更深、更高、更广的─参弗三2，彼前四10。
This dispensing continues in the New Testament Epistles; God's dispensation is even greater than it was at the time of the apostle Paul; today there is a deeper, higher, and wider dispensation of the grace of God—cf. Eph. 3:2; 1 Pet. 4:10.

４
这经纶安排将继续经过千年国，直到时期满足的时候；终极完成的经纶安排将是三一神分赐到新耶路撒冷的全城里─启二二1~2。
This dispensation will continue through the millennium until the fullness of the times; the ultimate, the consummate, dispensation will be the dispensing of the Triune God into the whole city of the New Jerusalem—Rev. 22:1-2.
This dispensation will continue through the millennium until the fullness of the times; the ultimate, the consummate, dispensation will be the dispensing of the Triune God into the whole city of the New Jerusalem—Rev. 22:1-2.
５
今天我们在召会生活中享受这终极完成之经纶安排的小影；当我们在召会生活中享受那灵作活水，并吃基督作生命树时，我们乃是在等候着终极的经纶安排；在这安排里，我们要完全被三一神浸透。
We enjoy a miniature of this consummate dispensation in the church life today; as we enjoy the Spirit as the living water and eat Christ as the tree of life in the church life, we are awaiting the consummate dispensation, in which we shall be fully saturated with the Triune God.

６
生命在哪里，光也在哪里（约一4，八12）；新耶路撒冷被光浸透，所以不需要日光；三一神的荣耀将是我们照耀并管制的光（启二一23）。
Where life is, there is light also (John 1:4; 8:12); because the New Jerusalem is saturated with light, it has no need of the light of the sun; the glory of the Triune God will be our shining and controlling light (Rev. 21:23).
Where life is, there is light also (John 1:4; 8:12); because the New Jerusalem is saturated with light, it has no need of the light of the sun; the glory of the Triune God will be our shining and controlling light (Rev. 21:23).
７
在新耶路撒冷里没有黑夜，没有死亡，也没有黑暗，反而有生命和光，这将使一切站立，而且秩序井然。
In the New Jerusalem there will be no night, no death, and no darkness; instead, there will be life and light, causing everything to rise up and be in good order.
In the New Jerusalem there will be no night, no death, and no darkness; instead, there will be life and light, causing everything to rise up and be in good order.
８
在作为新天新地之中心的新耶路撒冷里，万有将在基督里归一于一个元首之下（24）；这就应验了以弗所一章十节中所说的，万有在基督里归一于一个元首之下。
In the New Jerusalem as the center of the new heaven and new earth, all things will be headed up in Christ (v. 24); this will be the fulfillment of the heading up of all things in Christ spoken of in Ephesians 1:10.
In the New Jerusalem as the center of the new heaven and new earth, all things will be headed up in Christ (v. 24); this will be the fulfillment of the heading up of all things in Christ spoken of in Ephesians 1:10.
四
神使基督作万有的头（22）；借着神在所有世代中一切的经纶安排，万有要在新天新地里，在基督里归一于一个元首之下，这就是神永远的行政和经纶。
God made Christ the Head over all things (v. 22); through all the dispensations of God in all the ages, all things will be headed up in Christ in the new heaven and new earth; that will be God's eternal administration and economy.
God made Christ the Head over all things (v. 22); through all the dispensations of God in all the ages, all things will be headed up in Christ in the new heaven and new earth; that will be God's eternal administration and economy.
五
因此，十节的万有归一于一个元首之下，乃是三至九节所说一切项目的结果─神拣选我们，预定我们，救赎我们，赦免我们，并恩赐我们，为要将万有在基督里归一于一个元首之下。
Thus, the heading up of all things in verse 10 is the issue of all the things covered in verses 3 through 9—God has chosen us, predestinated us, redeemed us, forgiven us, and graced us for the purpose of heading up all things in Christ.
Thus, the heading up of all things in verse 10 is the issue of all the things covered in verses 3 through 9—God has chosen us, predestinated us, redeemed us, forgiven us, and graced us for the purpose of heading up all things in Christ.
六
二十二节进一步启示出万有归一于一个元首之下乃是向着召会的，使基督的身体既得着拯救，脱离那由天使和人的背叛所引起，在死亡和黑暗里宇宙性崩溃的乱堆，就得以分享基督这位元首的一切；从崩溃中蒙拯救，就是归一于一个元首之下。
Verse 22 reveals further that this heading up is to the church so that the Body of Christ may share in all that is of Christ as the Head, having been rescued from the heap of the universal collapse in death and darkness, which was caused by the rebellion of the angels and the rebellion of man; to be rescued from the collapse is to be headed up.

七
信徒有份于这归一，乃是因着愿意在召会生活里归一于一个元首之下，在生命里长大，并活在基督的光中─约一4，八12，弗五8~9，启二一23~25。
The believers participate in this heading up by being willing to be headed up in the church life, by growing in life and by living under Christ's light—John 1:4; 8:12; Eph. 5:8-9; Rev. 21:23-25.

八
以西结三十七章里死的、枯干的、分散的骸骨这图画给我们看见，要在真正的一里有基督的身体、召会以及神的家，唯一的路乃是生命的路：
The picture in Ezekiel 37 of the dead, dry, and scattered bones shows that the unique way to have the Body, the church, and the house of God in the genuine oneness is the way of life:
The picture in Ezekiel 37 of the dead, dry, and scattered bones shows that the unique way to have the Body, the church, and the house of God in the genuine oneness is the way of life:
１
当气息进入死的骸骨，对骸骨就成为生命，骸骨就活了，并且在一里站起来，成为极大的军队。
When the breath entered into the dead ones, it became life to them, and they lived and stood up in oneness to become an exceedingly great army.
When the breath entered into the dead ones, it became life to them, and they lived and stood up in oneness to become an exceedingly great army.
２
这些死的骸骨活过来并成为一，乃是生命的分赐，以及在生命里长大的结果─1~14节。
The dead bones were enlivened and became one as the issue of the dispensing of life and the growth in life—vv. 1-14.
The dead bones were enlivened and became one as the issue of the dispensing of life and the growth in life—vv. 1-14.
九
将万有在基督里归一于一个元首之下，乃是借着将三一神丰盈生命的供应，分赐到我们里面而发生的；生命的因素越供应到我们里面，我们就越站立起来并得以联络；神使我们归一于一个元首之下的方式，乃是将祂自己作生命的因素，作到我们里面，使我们站立起来，并且彼此联络。
The heading up of all things in Christ takes place through the dispensing of the abundant life supply of the Triune God into us; the more the factor of life is ministered to us, the more we rise up and become attached; God's way to head us up is to work Himself as the factor of life into us that we may rise up and be attached to one another.

十
当万有都在基督里归一于一个元首之下，就有完全的平安与和谐（赛二4，十一6，五五12，诗九六12~13），完全从崩溃得着拯救；这是从万物复兴时开始（徒三21）。
When everything is headed up in Christ, there will be absolute peace and harmony (Isa. 2:4; 11:6; 55:12; Psa. 96:12-13), a full rescue out of the collapse; this will begin from the restoration of all things (Acts 3:21).

一
基督身体生机的建造就是基督身体的长大，也就是神在所有肢体里的增长，神这生命的增加─二21~22，四16，西二19，参约三30。
The organic building up of the Body is the growth of the Body, which is the growth of God, the increase of God as life, in all the members—2:21-22; 4:16; Col. 2:19; cf. John 3:30.

二
在生命里长大，就是在我们里面有更多的神；我们的问题就是我们缺少神─参伯一1~5，四二1~6。
To grow in life is to have more of God in us; our problem is that we are short of God—cf. Job 1:1-5; 42:1-6.
