主的恢复借祭司职分而实现；事实上，主的恢复乃是祭司职分的恢复─亚三1~5，六12~13，该一8、12：
The Lord's recovery is realized by the priesthood; actually, the Lord's recovery is the recovery of the priesthood—Zech. 3:1-5; 6:12-13; Hag. 1:8, 12:
The Lord's recovery is realized by the priesthood; actually, the Lord's recovery is the recovery of the priesthood—Zech. 3:1-5; 6:12-13; Hag. 1:8, 12:
一
关于祭司的事奉，在人这一面总是失败的，但在神一面总是一再的恢复：
With the priesthood there has always been failure on the human side and continual recovery on the divine side:
With the priesthood there has always been failure on the human side and continual recovery on the divine side:
１
主耶稣是祭司，借救赎将我们带进祂的祭司职分中─启一5~6，五9~10。
The Lord Jesus, the Priest, has brought us into His priesthood through His redemption—Rev. 1:5-6; 5:9-10.
The Lord Jesus, the Priest, has brought us into His priesthood through His redemption—Rev. 1:5-6; 5:9-10.
２
全召会必须是祭司的体系；可惜这个祭司体系也失落了，而被圣品阶级与平信徒制度所顶替─二6、15。
The whole church should be the priesthood; however, this priesthood has been lost and replaced by the clergylaity system—2:6, 15.
The whole church should be the priesthood; however, this priesthood has been lost and replaced by the clergylaity system—2:6, 15.
３
召会生活的恢复，乃是真正祭司生活的恢复；我们众人必须被恢复进入这祭司的生活，换言之，我们必须被带回到与主真实的交通中─林前十四26，一9，约壹一3。
The recovery of the church life is the recovery of the real priesthood; we must be recovered into this priesthood, which means that we need to be brought back into the genuine fellowship with the Lord—1 Cor. 14:26; 1:9; 1John1:3.
The recovery of the church life is the recovery of the real priesthood; we must be recovered into this priesthood, which means that we need to be brought back into the genuine fellowship with the Lord—1 Cor. 14:26; 1:9; 1John1:3.
４
主的恢复是作祭司的问题，不是工作、运动、或为主作什么的问题。
The Lord's recovery is a matter of the priesthood, not a matter of a work, a movement, or of doing things for the Lord.
The Lord's recovery is a matter of the priesthood, not a matter of a work, a movement, or of doing things for the Lord.
５
我们的责任不是顾到任何种的工作；我们的责任只是守住祭司的生活，学习被主得着，被主占有，直等到我们被主充满、饱和并浸透─弗三16~17上、19。
Our responsibility is not to care for any kind of work; our responsibility is simply to take care of the priesthood by learning to be possessed and occupied by the Lord until we are filled, saturated, and permeated with Him— Eph. 3:16-17a, 19.
Our responsibility is not to care for any kind of work; our responsibility is simply to take care of the priesthood by learning to be possessed and occupied by the Lord until we are filled, saturated, and permeated with Him— Eph. 3:16-17a, 19.
二
今天主所需要的，乃是一班人被带到主面前去，甚至被带到主里面，直到与主成为一─来十19，林后三18，约十七22、24。
What the Lord needs today is a group of people who are brought into His presence and even into the Lord Himself until they are one with Him—Heb. 10:19; 2 Cor. 3:18; John 17:22, 24.
What the Lord needs today is a group of people who are brought into His presence and even into the Lord Himself until they are one with Him—Heb. 10:19; 2 Cor. 3:18; John 17:22, 24.
三
当主得着这样的祭司体系─祭司的国度，祂才能自由地流出去，成就祂的旨意，而实现祂永远的定旨─出十九6上，启一5~6，五9~10，四11，弗一5、9、11，腓二13。
When the Lord has such a priesthood—a kingdom of priests—He will have the freedom to flow out and work out His will for the fulfillment of His eternal purpose—Exo. 19:6a; Rev. 1:5-6; 5:9-10; 4:11; Eph. 1:5, 9, 11; Phil. 2:13.

贰
神殿的建造乃是联于祭司体系，并在于祭司体系─出十九6上，二五8~9，亚六12~13，彼前二5：
The building of God's house is related to the priesthood and depends on the priesthood—Exo. 19:6a; 25:8-9; Zech. 6:12-13; 1 Pet. 2:5:
The building of God's house is related to the priesthood and depends on the priesthood—Exo. 19:6a; 25:8-9; Zech. 6:12-13; 1 Pet. 2:5:
一
召会的建造在于众圣徒在神面前担负起祭司的职分─启一5~6，五9~10，来三6，六20，七26，八1，十19。
The building of the church depends on whether or not the saints will bear the priesthood before God—Rev. 1:5-6; 5:9-10; Heb. 3:6; 6:20; 7:26; 8:1; 10:19.
The building of the church depends on whether or not the saints will bear the priesthood before God—Rev. 1:5-6; 5:9-10; Heb. 3:6; 6:20; 7:26; 8:1; 10:19.
二
祭司的职分托住召会的建造；没有祭司职分，就没有召会建造的可能。
The priesthood upholds the building of the church; without the priesthood it is impossibletobuild up thechurch.
The priesthood upholds the building of the church; without the priesthood it is impossibletobuild up thechurch.
三
我们若是肯来到神面前，与神交通，活在神面前，让神通过，就能丰丰满满地享受基督的丰富，彰显基督的荣耀；我们身上挂着召会的见证，召会的建造就能在我们中间得以实现─十一6，约壹一3，弗三8，二21~22。
If we are willing to come forward to God, fellowship with God, live before God, and allow God to flow through us, we will enjoy the riches of Christ and express the glory of Christ in a full way; in this way we will bear the testimony of the church, and the building of the church will be realized among us—11:6; 1 John 1:3; Eph. 3:8; 2:21-22.

四
神要恢复祂的建造，定规先要恢复祭司的体系─拉一1~4，七1~5。
In order to recover the building of God, God must first recover the priesthood— Ezra 1:1-4; 7:1-5.
In order to recover the building of God, God must first recover the priesthood— Ezra 1:1-4; 7:1-5.
叁
建造神的殿作为神的居所，就是祭司的体系；圣别的祭司体系，就是属灵的殿─弗二21~22，彼前二5：
The building of God's house as the dwelling place of God is the priesthood; the holy priesthood is the spiritual house—Eph. 2:21-22; 1 Pet. 2:5:
The building of God's house as the dwelling place of God is the priesthood; the holy priesthood is the spiritual house—Eph. 2:21-22; 1 Pet. 2:5:
一
属灵的，指神的生命生活并长大的性能；圣别的，指神的性情分别并圣别的性能─5节：
Spiritual denotesthe capacity of thedivinelifetoloveand grow; holy, the capacity of the divine nature to separate and sanctify—v. 5:
Spiritual denotesthe capacity of thedivinelifetoloveand grow; holy, the capacity of the divine nature to separate and sanctify—v. 5:
１
神的殿主要的是借神的生命得维系，因此是属灵的。
The house of God subsists mainly by the divine life; hence, it is spiritual.
The house of God subsists mainly by the divine life; hence, it is spiritual.
２
祭司体系主要的是借神的性情得维系，因此是圣别的。
The priesthood subsists mainly by the divine nature; hence, it is holy.
The priesthood subsists mainly by the divine nature; hence, it is holy.
二
五节和九节里的祭司体系，原文是hierateuma，希拉提玛，不是指祭司职任，乃指祭司的集合，祭司团，祭司体系。
The Greek word for priesthood in verses 5 and 9, hierateuma, refers not to the priestly office but to the assembly of priests, a body of priests, a priesthood.

三
配搭的祭司团就是建造起来的属灵的殿。
The coordinated body of priests is the builtup spiritual house.
The coordinated body of priests is the builtup spiritual house.
四
彼得在五节用“属灵的殿”和“圣别的祭司体系”这些辞，以指明召会生活：
In verse 5 Peter uses the terms spiritual house and holy priesthood to indicate the church life:
In verse 5 Peter uses the terms spiritual house and holy priesthood to indicate the church life:
１
不是个人的属灵生活，乃是团体的属灵生活，才能完成神的定旨，满足祂的心意─弗一5、9、11，三11，创一26。
It is not the spiritual life lived in an individualistic way, but the spiritual life lived in a corporate way, that can fulfill God's purpose and satisfy His desire—Eph.1:5,9,11; 3:11;Gen.1:26.
It is not the spiritual life lived in an individualistic way, but the spiritual life lived in a corporate way, that can fulfill God's purpose and satisfy His desire—Eph.1:5,9,11; 3:11;Gen.1:26.
２
神要得着一个属灵的殿给祂居住，得着一个祭司团，一个祭司体系事奉祂。
God wants a spiritual house for His dwelling, a priestly body, a priesthood, for His service.
God wants a spiritual house for His dwelling, a priestly body, a priesthood, for His service.
肆
我们作祭司事奉时，需要与建造并被建造的神是一，将神建造到人里面，也将人建造到神里面─弗三16~17上，约十四2、23：
In our ministry as priests, we need to be one with the building and builded God to build God into man and man into God—Eph. 3:16-17a; John 14:2, 23:
In our ministry as priests, we need to be one with the building and builded God to build God into man and man into God—Eph. 3:16-17a; John 14:2, 23:

"Building God and man in one / Is their [the priests'] work before the Lord"— Hymns, #849.
"Building God and man in one / Is their [the priests'] work before the Lord"— Hymns, #849.
二
神新约的经纶是使经过过程并终极完成的三一神作到我们里面，成为我们的生命和我们的所是─提前一4，林后十三14，弗三16~17上，罗八9~10、6、11：
God's New Testament economy is for the processed and consummated Triune God to be wrought into us to become our life and our being—1 Tim. 1:4; 2 Cor. 13:14; Eph. 3:16-17a; Rom. 8:9-10, 6, 11:

１
神照着祂心愿的经纶和目标，乃是要将祂自己建造到人里面，并将人建造到祂里面─撒下七12~14上，弗三17上。
God's economy and goal according to His heart's desire are to build Himself into man and to build man into Him—2 Sam. 7:12-14a; Eph. 3:17a.
God's economy and goal according to His heart's desire are to build Himself into man and to build man into Him—2 Sam. 7:12-14a; Eph. 3:17a.
２
神在祂经纶里的目的，是要将祂自己在基督里建造到我们里面─撒下七12~14上，弗三17上，约十四20。
God's intention in His economy is to build Himself in Christ into our being— 2 Sam. 7:12-14a; Eph. 3:17a; John 14:20.
God's intention in His economy is to build Himself in Christ into our being— 2 Sam. 7:12-14a; Eph. 3:17a; John 14:20.
３
神在基督里已进到我们里面，要将祂自己建造到我们的所是里，并将我们建造到祂的所是里─撒下七12~14上，太十六18，约十四23，弗三17上。
God in Christ is within us to build Himself into our being and to build us into His being—2 Sam. 7:12-14a; Matt. 16:18; John 14:23; Eph. 3:17a.
God in Christ is within us to build Himself into our being and to build us into His being—2 Sam. 7:12-14a; Matt. 16:18; John 14:23; Eph. 3:17a.
三
那建造到我们里面，就是构成到我们里面的基督，成为神的家和我们的家，就是神人相互的住处；在此神与我们，我们与神，调和成为一个实体─约十四2、23，十五4上。
The Christ who is built, constituted, into us is both God's house and our house; this house is a mutual abode, where God and we, we and God, are mingled together as one entity—John 14:2, 23; 15:4a.
The Christ who is built, constituted, into us is both God's house and our house; this house is a mutual abode, where God and we, we and God, are mingled together as one entity—John 14:2, 23; 15:4a.
四
在我们工作的每一面─传扬福音、喂养信徒、建立召会、成全圣徒，其内在的元素必须是将建造和被建造的神供应到人里面─太十六18，弗三17上：
In every aspect of our work—preaching the gospel, feeding the believers, establishing churches, perfecting the saints—the intrinsic element must be that we minister the building and builded God into others—Matt. 16:18; Eph. 3:17a:
In every aspect of our work—preaching the gospel, feeding the believers, establishing churches, perfecting the saints—the intrinsic element must be that we minister the building and builded God into others—Matt. 16:18; Eph. 3:17a:
１
我们若看见神渴望将祂自己作到祂所拣选的人里面，那么，我们工作的目标就会是将建造和被建造的神供应到人里面，好叫三一神能够将祂自己建造到他们里面─17节上。
If we realize that God desires to work Himself into His chosen people, then the goal of our work will be to minister the building and builded God into others so that the Triune God may build Himself into their being—v. 17a.
If we realize that God desires to work Himself into His chosen people, then the goal of our work will be to minister the building and builded God into others so that the Triune God may build Himself into their being—v. 17a.
２
我们应当重新考量我们为主所作的工，并且问自己一个问题：在我们带来归主的人中，有多少基督作三一神的具体化身作到他们里面─加四19，西一28。
We should reconsider the work we are doing for the Lord and ask how much of Christ as the embodiment of the Triune God has been wrought into those whom we have brought to the Lord—Gal. 4:19; Col. 1:28.
We should reconsider the work we are doing for the Lord and ask how much of Christ as the embodiment of the Triune God has been wrought into those whom we have brought to the Lord—Gal. 4:19; Col. 1:28.
３
我们必须实行一件事，就是供应经过过程并终极完成的三一神到人里面，使祂将祂自己建造到他们里面的人里；我们需要求主教导我们这样作工─林后十三14，林前三9上、10、12。
We need to practice one thing—to minister the processed and consummated Triune God into others so that He may build Himself into their inner man; we need to pray that the Lord will teach us to work in this way—2 Cor. 13:14; 1 Cor. 3:9a, 10, 12.
We need to practice one thing—to minister the processed and consummated Triune God into others so that He may build Himself into their inner man; we need to pray that the Lord will teach us to work in this way—2 Cor. 13:14; 1 Cor. 3:9a, 10, 12.
４
当我们以经过过程并终极完成的三一神建造召会时，实际上不是我们在建造，乃是神借着我们建造，使用我们作祭司，将祂自己分赐到人里面─徒九15。
When we build the church with the processed and consummated Triune God, it is not actually we who are building; rather, God is building through us, using us as priests to dispense Himself into others—Acts 9:15.
When we build the church with the processed and consummated Triune God, it is not actually we who are building; rather, God is building through us, using us as priests to dispense Himself into others—Acts 9:15.
五
今天我们为神作工，该有份于神的建造，就是将神的元素构造到人的元素里，并将人的元素构造到神的元素里─约十四20，十五4上，约壹四15。
As we work for God today, we should participate in God's building—the constitution of the divine element into the human element and of the human element into the divine element—John 14:20; 15:4a; 1 John 4:15.
As we work for God today, we should participate in God's building—the constitution of the divine element into the human element and of the human element into the divine element—John 14:20; 15:4a; 1 John 4:15.
六
我们劳苦实行神命定之路的四个步骤─生、养、成全和建造时，我们的工作必须建立在经过过程并终极完成之三一神的根基上；这位三一神正将祂自己建造到祂所拣选的人里面，并将他们建造到祂里面─林后十三14，弗三16~17上，四4~6。
As we endeavor to carry out the Godordained way in the four steps of begetting, nourishing, perfecting, and building, our work must be based upon the processed and consummated Triune God, who is building Himself into His chosen people and building them into Him—2 Cor. 13:14; Eph. 3:16-17a; 4:4-6.
As we endeavor to carry out the Godordained way in the four steps of begetting, nourishing, perfecting, and building, our work must be based upon the processed and consummated Triune God, who is building Himself into His chosen people and building them into Him—2 Cor. 13:14; Eph. 3:16-17a; 4:4-6.
七
我们若将建造和被建造的神供应到人里面，使他们在神圣生命中长大，我们就是在建造基督的身体，以终极完成新耶路撒冷─西二19，弗四15~16，启二一10。
If we minister the building and builded God to others for their growth in the divine life, we are building up the Body of Christ, which will consummate the New Jerusalem—Col. 2:19; Eph. 4:15-16; Rev. 21:10.
