信在经历一面的定义是，信乃是耶稣的宝贵注入到我们里面。
The experiential definition of faith is that faith is the preciousness of Jesus infused into us.
The experiential definition of faith is that faith is the preciousness of Jesus infused into us.
２
真正的信乃是基督自己注入我们里面，成为我们相信祂的能力；主耶稣注入我们里面以后，就自然而然成为我们的信。
Genuine faith is Christ Himself infused into us to become our ability to believe in Him; after the Lord Jesus has been infused into us, He spontaneously becomes our faith.
Genuine faith is Christ Himself infused into us to become our ability to believe in Him; after the Lord Jesus has been infused into us, He spontaneously becomes our faith.
二
当我们相信基督，我们就进到祂里面；我们乃是把自己信到基督里，因而与祂成为一灵─约三15，林前六17。
When we believe in Christ, we enter into Him; we believe ourselves into Christ and thereby become one spirit with Him—John 3:15; 1 Cor. 6:17.

Jesus is the Author of faith, the Originator, the Inaugurator, the source, and the cause of faith—v. 2:
Jesus is the Author of faith, the Originator, the Inaugurator, the source, and the cause of faith—v. 2:

The faith of the believers is actually not their own faith but Christ entering into them to be their faith—Rom. 3:22; Gal. 2:16:
The faith of the believers is actually not their own faith but Christ entering into them to be their faith—Rom. 3:22; Gal. 2:16:
１
当我们望断以及于耶稣，祂这赐生命的灵（林前十五45下）就将祂自己，将祂信的成分，灌输到我们里面。
When we look away unto Jesus, He as the life-giving Spirit (1 Cor. 15:45b) transfuses us with Himself, His believing element.
When we look away unto Jesus, He as the life-giving Spirit (1 Cor. 15:45b) transfuses us with Himself, His believing element.
２
这信不是出于我们自己，乃是出于那将自己作信的成分，分赐到我们里面，替我们信者的。
This faith is not of ourselves but of Him who imparts Himself as the believing element into us so that He may believe for us.
This faith is not of ourselves but of Him who imparts Himself as the believing element into us so that He may believe for us.
二
信是一种质实的能力，是第六个感官，我们乃是凭这官能，把未见之事或所望之事质实出来，就是把这些事的本质，质成现实─来十一1：
Faith is a substantiating ability, a sixth sense, the sense by which we sub-stantiate, give substance to, the things unseen or hoped for—Heb. 11:1:
Faith is a substantiating ability, a sixth sense, the sense by which we sub-stantiate, give substance to, the things unseen or hoped for—Heb. 11:1:
１
我们不是顾念、注视所见的，乃是顾念、注视所不见的─林后四18：
We do not regard, look at, the things which are seen but the things which are not seen—2 Cor. 4:18:
We do not regard, look at, the things which are seen but the things which are not seen—2 Cor. 4:18:

The Christian life is a life of things unseen—Rom. 8:24-25; Heb. 11:27; 1 Pet. 1:8; Gal. 6:10.
The Christian life is a life of things unseen—Rom. 8:24-25; Heb. 11:27; 1 Pet. 1:8; Gal. 6:10.
ｂ
召会的堕落是从所不见的事堕落到所见的事；主的恢复是要将祂的召会从所见的事恢复到所不见的事。
The degradation of the church is the degradation from unseen things to seen things; the Lord's recovery is to recover His church from things seen to things unseen.
The degradation of the church is the degradation from unseen things to seen things; the Lord's recovery is to recover His church from things seen to things unseen.
２
信使我们对未见之事有把握，使我们能确信未见的事；因此，信是未见之事的证据、证明。
Faith assures us of the things not seen, convincing us of what we do not see; therefore, it is the evidence, the proof, of things unseen.
Faith assures us of the things not seen, convincing us of what we do not see; therefore, it is the evidence, the proof, of things unseen.
３
信乃是信神是；信神是，就是信祂是我们的一切，而我们一无所是─来十一6，传一2。
Faith is to believe that God is; to believe that God is, is to believe that He is everything to us and that we are nothing—Heb. 11:6; Eccl. 1:2.

As we look away unto Jesus continually, He will finish and complete the faith that we need for the running of the race set before us—v. 1.
As we look away unto Jesus continually, He will finish and complete the faith that we need for the running of the race set before us—v. 1.
二
我们所有的信在质的一面都是同样的，但这信的量有多少，乃在于我们接触活的神有多少，使祂得以在我们里面增长─罗十二3，林后三18。
We all have the same faith in quality, but the quantity of faith we have depends upon how much we contact the living God so that we may have Him increased in us—Rom. 12:3; 2 Cor. 3:18.
We all have the same faith in quality, but the quantity of faith we have depends upon how much we contact the living God so that we may have Him increased in us—Rom. 12:3; 2 Cor. 3:18.
三
当我们接触主，祂就在我们里面涌流，并且我们中间就有相互的信心；我们因着彼此的信心，就同得鼓励─罗一12，门6。
When we contact the Lord, He overflows within us, and there is a mutuality of faith among us; we are encouraged through the faith which is in one another—Rom. 1:12; Philem. 6.
