基于耶利米预言到新约，耶利米书这卷旧约的书也可视为新约的书─二13，十七9，十三23，二三5~6，三一31~34，来八8~12。
Based on the fact that Jeremiah prophesies concerning the new covenant, the book of Jeremiah may be considered an Old Testament book that is also a New Testament book— 2:13; 17:9; 13:23; 23:5-6; 31:31-34; Heb. 8:8-12.

基督是新遗命的实际，也就是神一切所是的实际，并神一切所赐的实际；所以，基督就是新遗命。
Christ is the reality of the new testament, the reality of all that God is and of all that God has given to us; therefore, Christ is the new testament.
Christ is the reality of the new testament, the reality of all that God is and of all that God has given to us; therefore, Christ is the new testament.
二
接受并享受基督作我们这约的路，乃是借着呼求我们主基督的名，操练我们的灵，照着我们的灵而活，住留在我们灵里；与我们的灵同在的，就是这位基督─赛四二5~6，亚十二1，罗八4下，启一10上，提后四22，赛十二3~4。
The way to receive and enjoy Christ as the covenant to us is to exercise our spirit, to live according to our spirit, and to remain in our spirit, with which is the very Christ, by calling on Christ our Lord's name—Isa. 42:5-6; Zech. 12:1; Rom. 8:4b; Rev. 1:10a; 2 Tim. 4:22; Isa. 12:3-4.

三一神已经经过成为肉体、钉死、复活并升天的过程，成了生命之灵的律，装置在我们灵里─罗八3、11、34、16。
The Triune God has been processed through incarnation, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension to become the law of the Spirit of life installed in our spirit—Rom. 8:3, 11, 34, 16.

４
在我们这人三个不同的部分里，有三个不同的律：
There are three different laws in the three different parts of our being:
There are three different laws in the three different parts of our being:
ａ
罪与死的律源自撒但，就是住在我们肉体中的罪─七18、23。
The law of sin and of death derives from Satan, who as sin resides in our flesh—7:18, 23.
The law of sin and of death derives from Satan, who as sin resides in our flesh—7:18, 23.

The law of the Spirit of life derives from the Triune God installed in our spirit—8:2, 16:
The law of the Spirit of life derives from the Triune God installed in our spirit—8:2, 16:
㈠
神圣的出生已将我们迁移到一个新的范围，就是神圣的生命连同这生命之律的范围里，在这范围里没有罪、世界或肉体。
The divine birth has transferred us into a new realm, the realm of the divine life with its law, a realm in which there is no sin, world, or flesh.
The divine birth has transferred us into a new realm, the realm of the divine life with its law, a realm in which there is no sin, world, or flesh.
㈡
在这范围里，一切的得胜都是不知不觉、不花力气的，因为托住我们的是生命之灵的律，不是我们自己的意志。
In this realm all victories are unconscious and effortless because the law of the Spirit of life is upholding us, not our own will.
In this realm all victories are unconscious and effortless because the law of the Spirit of life is upholding us, not our own will.
５
生命的律，生命之灵的律，乃是经过过程之三一神作赐生命的灵住在我们的灵里─2~3、11、34节。
The law of life, the law of the Spirit of life, is the processed Triune God as the life-giving Spirit dwelling in our spirit— vv. 2-3, 11, 34.
The law of life, the law of the Spirit of life, is the processed Triune God as the life-giving Spirit dwelling in our spirit— vv. 2-3, 11, 34.
６
生命的律乃是生命自发的能力；这律是生命所具自然的特性，和自有、自动的功能。
The law of life is the spontaneous power of life; it is the natural characteristic and the innate, automatic function of life.
The law of life is the spontaneous power of life; it is the natural characteristic and the innate, automatic function of life.
７
生命之律的功用乃是：
The function of the law of life is:

ａ
使我们在生命、性情和彰显上，但不在神格上，成为神，使我们成形为神长子的形像，而成为祂团体的彰显─2、29节。
To make us God in life, nature, and expression but not in the Godhead, shaping us into the image of the firstborn Son of God so that we may become His corporate expression—vv. 2, 29.

To constitute us the members of the Body of Christ with all kinds of functions—Eph. 4:11-12, 16.
８
我们享受生命分赐到我们里面，好借着生命之灵的律的工作，完成神的经纶─耶三一33，来八10，罗八10、6、11。
We enjoy the dispensing of life into our being for the accomplishment of God's economy by the working of the law of the Spirit of life— Jer. 31:33; Heb. 8:10; Rom. 8:10, 6, 11.
We enjoy the dispensing of life into our being for the accomplishment of God's economy by the working of the law of the Spirit of life— Jer. 31:33; Heb. 8:10; Rom. 8:10, 6, 11.
９
生命之灵的律已经装置好，且正在运行，我们必须借着把这律的“开关打开”，而与这律合作─帖前五16~18，路八15。
We need to cooperate with the installed and operating law of the Spirit of life by "switching on" this law—1 Thes. 5:16-18; Luke 8:15.
We need to cooperate with the installed and operating law of the Spirit of life by "switching on" this law—1 Thes. 5:16-18; Luke 8:15.
10
神的经纶是要将祂自己借着并作为生命之灵的律，分赐到我们这人里面，使我们这人被祂的所是构成，而与祂的所是成为一个构成。
God's economy is to dispense Himself into our being by and as the law of the Spirit of life so that our being might be constituted with His being to be one constitution with His being.
God's economy is to dispense Himself into our being by and as the law of the Spirit of life so that our being might be constituted with His being to be one constitution with His being.
11
神圣生命的律“子化”我们，使基督的身体得着建造：
The law of the divine life "sonizes" us for the building up of the Body of Christ:
The law of the divine life "sonizes" us for the building up of the Body of Christ:
ａ
当那在我们灵里的生命之律扩展到我们内里的各部分─我们的心思、情感和意志时，这律就成了几个律─耶三一33，来八10，参林后三3：
When the law of life, which is in our spirit, spreads into our inward parts—our mind, emotion, and will—it becomes several laws— Jer. 31:33; Heb. 8:10; cf. 2 Cor. 3:3:
When the law of life, which is in our spirit, spreads into our inward parts—our mind, emotion, and will—it becomes several laws— Jer. 31:33; Heb. 8:10; cf. 2 Cor. 3:3:
㈠
这扩展就是分赐，这分赐就是“写”。
This spreading is the imparting, and the imparting is the inscribing.
This spreading is the imparting, and the imparting is the inscribing.
㈡
借着生命之律在我们里面的运行、扩展，神就使我们在生命、性情和彰显上与祂一样。
By the working, the spreading, of the law of life within us, God makes us the same as He is in life, nature, and expression.
By the working, the spreading, of the law of life within us, God makes us the same as He is in life, nature, and expression.
㈢
借着生命之律的运行，我们就被模成神长子的形像。
We are conformed to the image of the firstborn Son of God by the working of the law of life.
We are conformed to the image of the firstborn Son of God by the working of the law of life.
ｂ
长子是原型，是标准的模型，为着大量复制出神许多的儿子，就是长子许多的弟兄，构成祂的身体，作神团体的彰显─罗八29：
The firstborn Son is the prototype, the standard model, for the mass reproduction of the many sons of God, who are His many brothers, to constitute His Body for God's corporate expression—Rom. 8:29:
The firstborn Son is the prototype, the standard model, for the mass reproduction of the many sons of God, who are His many brothers, to constitute His Body for God's corporate expression—Rom. 8:29:
㈠
神大量复制这原型的作法，乃是将祂这活的原型，就是祂的长子，作到我们全人里面。
God's way to mass reproduce this prototype is to work His living prototype, the firstborn Son, into our entire being.
God's way to mass reproduce this prototype is to work His living prototype, the firstborn Son, into our entire being.
㈡
我们若与这奇妙的原型合作，向祂敞开，祂就要从我们的灵向外扩展到我们的魂里。
If we cooperate with and open up to this wonderful prototype, He will spread outward from our spirit into our soul.
If we cooperate with and open up to this wonderful prototype, He will spread outward from our spirit into our soul.
㈢
这内住的原型，就是神的长子，作为生命的律，在我们里面自动地作工，将我们模成祂的形像，就是“子化”我们。
The indwelling prototype, the firstborn Son of God, automatically works in us as the law of life to conform us to His image, to "sonize" us.
The indwelling prototype, the firstborn Son of God, automatically works in us as the law of life to conform us to His image, to "sonize" us.
㈣
在祂的恢复里，神正在我们中间竭力作工，要使我们每一个人与长子一模一样。
In His recovery the Lord is working desperately among us to make every one of us the same as the firstborn Son.
In His recovery the Lord is working desperately among us to make every one of us the same as the firstborn Son.
㈤
基督的身体作为新人，就是神的长子这标准模型的团体复制品。
The Body of Christ as the new man is the corporate reproduction of the standard model, the firstborn Son of God.
The Body of Christ as the new man is the corporate reproduction of the standard model, the firstborn Son of God.

“我要作他们的神，他们要作我的子民”─来八10：
"I will be God to them, and they will be a people to Me"—Heb. 8:10:
"I will be God to them, and they will be a people to Me"—Heb. 8:10:
１
神作我们的神，意即神是我们的产业；而我们作神的子民，意即我们乃是神的产业─弗一11、14、18，三21。
For God to be our God means that He is our inheritance, and for us to be God's people means that we are God's inheritance—Eph. 1:11, 14, 18; 3:21.
For God to be our God means that He is our inheritance, and for us to be God's people means that we are God's inheritance—Eph. 1:11, 14, 18; 3:21.
２
在新约里，我们有特权得着神作我们的神，我们作祂的子民─乃是生命使我们能在与神的交通中享受神，好叫祂被我们所认识、领会，且由我们活出─约壹一3、7。
In the new covenant we have the privilege of having God as our God and of being His people—the enabling of life for us to participate in the enjoyment of God in fellowship with Him so that He can be known by us, apprehended by us, and lived by us—1 John 1:3, 7.

三
“他们各人绝不用教导自己同国之民，各人也绝不用教导自己的弟兄，说，你该认识主；因为他们从最小的到至大的，都必认识我”─来八11：
"They shall by no means each teach his fellow citizen and each his brother, saying, Know the Lord; for all will know Me from the little one to the great one among them"—Heb. 8:11:
"They shall by no means each teach his fellow citizen and each his brother, saying, Know the Lord; for all will know Me from the little one to the great one among them"—Heb. 8:11:
１
生命的功能使我们能以生命内里的方式认识神。
The function of life enables us to know God in the inward way of life.
The function of life enables us to know God in the inward way of life.
２
我们能凭生命的感觉，就是我们里面神圣生命的感觉、知觉，而从里面主观地认识神─罗八6，弗四18~20，腓三10上：
We can know God subjectively from within by the sense of life, which is the feeling, the consciousness, of the divine life within us—Rom. 8:6; Eph. 4:18-20; Phil. 3:10a:
We can know God subjectively from within by the sense of life, which is the feeling, the consciousness, of the divine life within us—Rom. 8:6; Eph. 4:18-20; Phil. 3:10a:
ａ
生命的感觉与死的感觉和生命平安的感觉都有关联─罗八6，赛二六3。
The sense of life involves both the feeling of death and the feeling of life and peace—Rom. 8:6; Isa. 26:3.
The sense of life involves both the feeling of death and the feeling of life and peace—Rom. 8:6; Isa. 26:3.
ｂ
生命的感觉使我们知道我们是活在天然的生命里，或活在神圣的生命里；也使我们知道我们是活在肉体里，或活在灵里。
The sense of life makes us know whether we are living in the natural life or in the divine life and whether we are living in the flesh or in the spirit.
The sense of life makes us know whether we are living in the natural life or in the divine life and whether we are living in the flesh or in the spirit.
ｃ
我们应当照生命的感觉，按生命的原则而活，而不是照对错的原则，就是死的原则而活。
We should live according to the sense of life in the principle of life, not according to the principle of right and wrong, the principle of death.
We should live according to the sense of life in the principle of life, not according to the principle of right and wrong, the principle of death.
３
认识神就是要活神；借着我们里面神圣生命那自然、自动的功用，我们就有性能认识神、活神、甚至在神的生命和性情上与祂成为一，使我们作祂团体的彰显。
To know God is to live God; through the spontaneous, automatic function of the divine life within us, we have the capacity to know God, to live God, and even to be one with God in His life and nature so that we may be His corporate expression.
To know God is to live God; through the spontaneous, automatic function of the divine life within us, we have the capacity to know God, to live God, and even to be one with God in His life and nature so that we may be His corporate expression.

"I will be propitious to their unrighteousnesses, and their sins I shall by no means remember anymore"—Heb. 8:12:
"I will be propitious to their unrighteousnesses, and their sins I shall by no means remember anymore"—Heb. 8:12:
１
基督为我们的罪成就了平息，以平息神的公义，也就是满足了神公义的要求，使我们得以与神和好─二17。
Christ made propitiation for our sins to appease God's righteousness, to reconcile us by satisfying the demands of God's righteousness—2:17.
Christ made propitiation for our sins to appease God's righteousness, to reconcile us by satisfying the demands of God's righteousness—2:17.
２
基督那又宝贵又有功效的血，解决了我们一切的难处，使我们得以维持在与神不断地交通中，不断地享受祂生机的救恩─约壹一7~9，二1~2：
The precious and all-efficacious blood of Christ resolves all our problems so that we can remain constantly in fellow- ship with God to continually enjoy His organic salvation— 1 John 1:7-9; 2:1-2:
The precious and all-efficacious blood of Christ resolves all our problems so that we can remain constantly in fellow- ship with God to continually enjoy His organic salvation— 1 John 1:7-9; 2:1-2:
ａ
在神面前，主救赎的血已经一次永远地洗净了我们（来九12、14），这洗净的功效无需重复。
Before God, the redeeming blood of the Lord has cleansed us once for all eternally (Heb. 9:12, 14), and the efficacy of that cleansing need not be repeated.
Before God, the redeeming blood of the Lord has cleansed us once for all eternally (Heb. 9:12, 14), and the efficacy of that cleansing need not be repeated.
ｂ
然而每当我们与神交通，良心蒙了神圣之光的光照，我们就必须在我们的良心里，一再地即时应用主的宝血常时的洗净。
However, in our conscience we need the instant application of the constant cleansing of the Lord's precious blood again and again whenever our conscience is enlightened by the divine light in our fellowship with God.
However, in our conscience we need the instant application of the constant cleansing of the Lord's precious blood again and again whenever our conscience is enlightened by the divine light in our fellowship with God.

神一赦免我们，就从祂的记忆里涂抹我们的罪，不再记念：
Once God forgives us, He erases our sins from His memory and remembers them no longer:
Once God forgives us, He erases our sins from His memory and remembers them no longer:
ａ
赦罪的意义，就是消除人在神面前的罪案，使我们免去神公义的刑罚─约三18，五24。
Forgiveness of sins means the removal of the charges of sin against us before God that we may be delivered from the penalty of God's righteousness— John 3:18; 5:24.
Forgiveness of sins means the removal of the charges of sin against us before God that we may be delivered from the penalty of God's righteousness— John 3:18; 5:24.
ｂ
神赦免了我们的罪，就使我们所犯的罪离开我们─诗一〇三12，利十六7~10、15~22。
When God forgives us of our sins, He causes the sins that we have committed to depart from us—Psa. 103:12; Lev. 16:7-10, 15-22.
When God forgives us of our sins, He causes the sins that we have committed to depart from us—Psa. 103:12; Lev. 16:7-10, 15-22.
４

God's forgiveness of our sins results in our fearing Him and loving Him in our restored fellowship with Him—Psa. 130:4; Luke 7:47.
God's forgiveness of our sins results in our fearing Him and loving Him in our restored fellowship with Him—Psa. 130:4; Luke 7:47.

至终，新约要产生新耶路撒冷，就是神的新约的具体化身，以团体的方式彰显神到极致，直到永远─加四26~28、31。
The new covenant will ultimately issue in the New Jerusalem, the embodiment of God's new covenant to express God in a corporate way to the uttermost for eternity—Gal. 4:26-28, 31.
