实际上，神在我们身上的掌权不是外在的，乃是神圣生命本能的事─罗八2。

叁
我们既已由神而生，进入了神的国，就需要恢复到凭我们灵的直觉，受神直接的管治─太五3，林前二11，可二8：
As those who have been born of God to enter into the kingdom of God, we need to be recovered to the direct rule of God by the intuition of our spirit—Matt. 5:3; 1 Cor. 2:11; Mark 2:8:

无罪时代，是神治的原则；良心时代，是自治的原则；人治时代，是人治的原则：
In the dispensation of innocence we see the principle of God's rule; in the dispensation of conscience, the principle of self-rule; and in the dispensa-tion of human government, the principle of man's rule:
In the dispensation of innocence we see the principle of God's rule; in the dispensation of conscience, the principle of self-rule; and in the dispensa-tion of human government, the principle of man's rule:
１
人堕落以前，直接受神管治而活在神面前，向神负责─创二16~17。

From the time of Adam's expulsion from the garden of Eden to the time of Noah's departure from the ark, God established the conscience within man to represent Himself in ruling over man—Acts 24:16.
３
洪水以后，因为人不服神治，又丢弃自治，所以神只好给人权柄代表神来管治人─创九6，罗十三1。
After the flood, because man was subject neither to God's rule nor to self-rule, God authorized man to represent Himself in ruling over man—Gen. 9:6; Rom. 13:1.
After the flood, because man was subject neither to God's rule nor to self-rule, God authorized man to represent Himself in ruling over man—Gen. 9:6; Rom. 13:1.
二
就着管治这一面来说，人类的堕落，乃是从神治堕落到自治，又从自治堕落到人治。
From the point of view of government, man's fall was a fall from God's rule to self-rule and then from self-rule to man's rule.
From the point of view of government, man's fall was a fall from God's rule to self-rule and then from self-rule to man's rule.
三
人既是从神治堕落到人治，所以神拯救人的时候，就要把人从人治恢复到神治，叫人再单纯的活在神面前，受神直接的管治─太五3，8，六33。
Because man has been degraded from God's rule to human rule, God, in saving man, must recover him from human rule to divine rule so that once again man may live before God in simplicity and under His direct authority—Matt. 5:3, 8; 6:33.

神的恢复，要人从人治，经过自治，而达到神治。
In God's plan of recovery man must retrace his steps from human rule to God's rule, passing through self-rule in between.
In God's plan of recovery man must retrace his steps from human rule to God's rule, passing through self-rule in between.
五
对付良心的最终目的，不仅是叫我们恢复到自治，更是把我们带回到神治，并把我们带回到神面前，而活在神面前─五3。
The final goal of dealing with the conscience is not merely to restore us to self-rule but to bring us back to God's rule and to recover us to God Himself and, thus, to live in the presence of God—5:3.
The final goal of dealing with the conscience is not merely to restore us to self-rule but to bring us back to God's rule and to recover us to God Himself and, thus, to live in the presence of God—5:3.

God's rule means that we live by the intuition of our spirit, being responsible to the intuition, that is, being responsible to God:
ａ
我们灵里有直接的感觉，有晓得、分辨和感受事物的功用；这就是我们灵里的直觉─林前二11，可二8：
