十一节那许多有恩赐的人，只有一个职事，就是将基督供应人，以建造基督的身体；这是新约经纶中惟一的职事─林后四1，提前一12。
The many gifted persons in verse 11 have only one ministry, that is, to minister Christ for the building up of the Body of Christ; this is the unique ministry in the New Testament economy—2 Cor. 4:1; 1 Tim. 1:12.

This building up is not accomplished directly by the gifted ones but by the saints who have been perfected by the gifted ones.
This building up is not accomplished directly by the gifted ones but by the saints who have been perfected by the gifted ones.
３
职事的工作是成全人者的工作，也是被成全者的工作；建造基督的身体不仅是有恩赐之人的工作，也是所有被成全之圣徒的工作。
The work of the ministry is both of the perfecting ones and the per-fected ones; the building up of the Body is the work not only of the gifted ones but also of all the perfected saints.

有恩赐的人成全圣徒，乃是照着生命树以生命的供应喂养他们，使他们在生命里长大─创二9，林前三2，6，弗四13~15。
The gifted persons perfect the saints by nourishing them according to the tree of life with the life supply for their growth in life—Gen. 2:9; 1 Cor. 3:2, 6; Eph. 4:13-15.

The result of this perfecting is that we will all arrive at the oneness of the faith and of the full knowledge of the Son of God, at a full-grown man, and at the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ—v. 13.

我们要被成全，就必须注意生命和功用─12，16节，罗十二4~5：
In order to be perfected, we need to pay attention to life and to function— vv. 12, 16; Rom. 12:4-5:

这是基督所有的使徒共有的惟一职事，就是为着成就神新约经纶的新约职事─三6。

新约职事的功用，是将生命分赐给别人，（林后四12，）将恩典供应给圣徒，（一15，四15，六1，）将经过过程并终极完成的三一神分赐到信徒里面，（十三14，）并用赐生命的灵作素质，书写基督的活信。（三1~6。）
The function of the ministry of the new covenant is to impart life to others (2 Cor. 4:12), to supply grace to the saints (1:15; 4:15; 6:1), to dispense the processed and consummated Triune God into the believers (13:14), and to write living letters of Christ with the life-giving Spirit as the essence (3:1-6).

四
新约职事的目标，是要使信徒在生命、性情和彰显上与神一式一样；（3，6，18，五21；）建造基督的身体，终极完成新耶路撒冷；（弗四12，16，启二一2；）并将信徒合并到基督里，以完成宇宙神人二性的合并。（约十四20，林后五20~21，启二一16。）
The goal of the ministry of the new covenant is to make the believers the same as God in life, nature, and expression (vv. 3, 6, 18; 5:21), to build up the Body of Christ to consummate the New Jerusalem (Eph. 4:12, 16; Rev. 21:2), and to incorporate the believers into Christ for the consummation of the universal divine-human incorporation (John 14:20; 2 Cor. 5:20-21; Rev. 21:16).

五
新约的职事是由启示加上苦难所产生的─林后十二1，7，一3~5，8~10：
The ministry of the new covenant is produced by revelation plus suffer-ing—2 Cor. 12:1, 7; 1:3-5, 8-10:

在保罗的书信中，我们看见这三件东西─启示、苦难和职事─弗三5，罗十六25，腓三10，西一24，林后四1。
In the Epistles of Paul we see three things—revelation, suffering, and ministry—Eph. 3:5; Rom. 16:25; Phil. 3:10; Col. 1:24; 2 Cor. 4:1.

２
我们能有多少生命，能有多少基督丰富的实际来服事给人，是根据两个因素─我们得到了多少启示，以及我们因所得的启示受了多少苦─徒二二14~15，九15~16。
How much life and how much reality of the riches of Christ we can minister depends upon two elements—how much revelation we have received and how much we have suffered for what has been revealed to us—Acts 22:14-15; 9:15-16.

新约的众执事经历神是复活的神─林后一8~10：
The ministers of the new covenant experience God as the God of resurrec-tion—2 Cor. 1:8-10:

１
新约的众执事自己里面的反应或答案乃是死，叫他们不信靠自己，只信靠那叫死人复活的神─一9，三5，四14。
The ministers of the new covenant have the response, or answer, of death in themselves so that they would not base their confidence on themselves but on God, who raises the dead—1:9; 3:5; 4:14.

当我们在主的死杀死之下，祂复活的生命就借着我们分赐到别人里面；这就是供应生命，为着基督身体的建造─10~12节。
When we are under the killing of the Lord's death, His resurrection life is imparted through us into others; this is to minister life for the building up of the Body of Christ—vv. 10-12.
