“愿恩典与一切在不朽坏之中，爱我们主耶稣基督的人同在”—弗六24：
“Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in incorruptibility”—Eph. 6:24:
“Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in incorruptibility”—Eph. 6:24:
一
我们需要有恩典，使我们能过一种既成就神永远定旨，又解决神与祂仇敌之间难处的召会生活—一2，三2、8、10~11，四7、29。
Grace is needed for us to live a church life that fulfills God’s purpose and solves God’s problem with His enemy—1:2; 3:2, 8, 10-11; 4:7, 29.

享受主作恩典，是为着那些爱祂之人的—六24：
The enjoyment of the Lord as grace is with those who love Him—6:24:
The enjoyment of the Lord as grace is with those who love Him—6:24:
１
以弗所一章四节的爱是指神爱祂所拣选之人的爱，以及神所拣选之人爱祂的爱：
Love in 1:4 refers to the love with which God loves His chosen ones and His chosen ones love Him:
Love in 1:4 refers to the love with which God loves His chosen ones and His chosen ones love Him:
ａ
神所拣选的人乃是在这爱里，在祂面前成为圣别、没有瑕疵。
It is in this love that God’s chosen ones become holy and without blemish before Him.
It is in this love that God’s chosen ones become holy and without blemish before Him.
ｂ
神先爱我们，然后这神圣的爱激起我们用爱回报祂。
God first loved us, and then this divine love inspires us to love Him in return.
God first loved us, and then this divine love inspires us to love Him in return.
ｃ
在这样爱的情形与气氛中，我们被神浸透，成为圣别、没有瑕疵，像祂一样。
In such a condition and atmosphere of love, we are saturated with God to be holy and without blemish, just as He is.
In such a condition and atmosphere of love, we are saturated with God to be holy and without blemish, just as He is.
２
照着三章十七节，我们得以在爱里生根立基，而照着十九节，我们能认识基督那超越知识的爱；我们既是神的耕地，就需要为着长大而生根；我们既是神的建筑，就需要为着建造而立基—林前三9。
According to 3:17, we may be rooted and grounded in love, and according to verse 19, we can know the knowledge-surpassing love of Christ; as God’s cultivated land, we need to be rooted for our growth, and as God’s building, we need to be grounded for our building up—1 Cor. 3:9.

３
以弗所四章十五至十六节启示，我们在爱里持守着真实，基督的身体就在爱里把自己建造起来：
Ephesians 4:15-16 reveals that we hold to truth in love and that the Body builds itself up in love:
Ephesians 4:15-16 reveals that we hold to truth in love and that the Body builds itself up in love:
ａ
这乃是在基督里面神的爱，成了在我们里面基督的爱；借着这爱，我们爱基督以及祂身体上同作肢体者—约壹四7~8、10~12、16、19。
This is the love of God in Christ, which becomes the love of Christ in us, by which we love Christ and the fellow members of His Body—1 John 4:7-8, 10-12, 16, 19.
This is the love of God in Christ, which becomes the love of Christ in us, by which we love Christ and the fellow members of His Body—1 John 4:7-8, 10-12, 16, 19.
ｂ
爱是神内在的本质；以弗所书的目标是要带我们进入神内在的本质，好享受是爱的神，在神圣之爱的甜美里享受神的同在，而像基督那样爱人—五2、25。
Love is the inner substance of God; the goal of Ephesians is to bring us into God’s inner substance so that we may enjoy God as love and enjoy His presence in the sweetness of the divine love, and thereby love others as Christ did—5:2, 25.

三
为着正确的召会生活，我们需要在不朽坏之中爱主—六24：
For the proper church life we need to love the Lord in incorruptibility—6:24:
For the proper church life we need to love the Lord in incorruptibility—6:24:
１
按照保罗著作中的用法，“不朽坏”这辞主要是指神和属神的事物；任何天然的事物都是会朽坏的，但神、神圣的生命以及所有在复活中的事物乃是不朽坏的—提前一17，提后一10，林前十五42、52~54。
According to the usage of incorruptible in the writings of Paul, this word refers mainly to God and the things of God; everything natural is corruptible, but God, the divine life, and all things that are in resurrection are incorruptible—1 Tim. 1:17; 2 Tim. 1:10; 1 Cor. 15:42, 52-54.
According to the usage of incorruptible in the writings of Paul, this word refers mainly to God and the things of God; everything natural is corruptible, but God, the divine life, and all things that are in resurrection are incorruptible—1 Tim. 1:17; 2 Tim. 1:10; 1 Cor. 15:42, 52-54.
２
在不朽坏之中爱主，就是在新造里爱祂，而不是在旧造里—弗二15，四24，林后五17。
To love the Lord in incorruptibility is to love Him in the new creation, not in the old creation—Eph. 2:15; 4:24; 2 Cor. 5:17.
To love the Lord in incorruptibility is to love Him in the new creation, not in the old creation—Eph. 2:15; 4:24; 2 Cor. 5:17.
３
在不朽坏之中爱主，是要在由圣灵所内住之重生和更新的灵里爱祂—约三6，林前六17，提后一7。
To love the Lord in incorruptibility is to love Him in the regenerated and renewed spirit indwelt by the Holy Spirit—John 3:6; 1 Cor. 6:17; 2 Tim. 1:7.
To love the Lord in incorruptibility is to love Him in the regenerated and renewed spirit indwelt by the Holy Spirit—John 3:6; 1 Cor. 6:17; 2 Tim. 1:7.
４
在不朽坏之中爱主，意思就是照着以弗所书中所启示一切不朽坏的事物爱主：
To love the Lord in incorruptibility means to love Him according to all the incorruptible things revealed in Ephesians:
To love the Lord in incorruptibility means to love Him according to all the incorruptible things revealed in Ephesians:
ａ
我们需要在主耶稣的所是之中爱祂，祂是三一神的具体化身（西二9），祂是身体的元素（林前十二12），祂是实际、恩典、平安、爱和光（约一17，八12，十四6，弗二14，约壹四8），祂又是一个新人的构成成分（弗二15，西三10~11）。
We need to love the Lord Jesus in His being the embodiment of the Triune God (Col. 2:9); in His being the element of the Body (1 Cor. 12:12); in His being reality, grace, peace, love, and light (John 1:17; 8:12; 14:6; Eph. 2:14; 1 John 4:8); and in His being the constituent of the one new man (Eph. 2:15; Col. 3:10-11).

ｂ
这一切事物与以弗所书中所启示并教导的有关，包括三一神、基督以及祂的身体—召会。
All these things are related to what is revealed and taught in Ephesians, including the Triune God, Christ, and His Body, the church.
All these things are related to what is revealed and taught in Ephesians, including the Triune God, Christ, and His Body, the church.
ｃ
以弗所书论到三一神的分赐为着产生召会（一3~23，三16~21），也说到基督为着召会的所是和所作（一7，二13~18，五25~27、29），并且论到召会是基督的身体，是基督的新妇，以及在诸天界里与基督是一（一22~23，五23、25~27，二6）。
Ephesians speaks concerning the dispensing of the Triune God to produce the church (1:3-23; 3:16-21), of what Christ is and has done for the church (1:7; 2:13-18; 5:25-27, 29), and about the church being the Body of Christ, being the bride of Christ, and being one with Christ in the heavenlies (1:22-23; 5:23, 25-27; 2:6).

ｄ
这一切事物都是不朽坏的，我们若在以上这一切事项之中爱主耶稣，我们对祂的爱就是不朽坏的（六24）；这样的爱不是天然的爱，乃是在复活里的爱，这爱就是在神圣素质里的神自己（约壹四16）。
All these matters are incorruptible, and if we love the Lord Jesus in all these things, our love toward Him will be incorruptible (6:24); such a love is not a natural love; it is a love in resurrection, the love that God Himself is in His divine essence (1 John 4:16).

５
在主的恢复中，我们需要在以弗所书中所启示关于三一神、神圣的生命、基督之于我们的所是、祂所作的、以及召会这些神圣、属灵、属天并不朽坏的事物之中爱我们的主耶稣基督—一3~23，二5~6、13~18，三16~21，四5，五23、25~27。
In the Lord’s recovery we need to love our Lord Jesus Christ in all the divine, spiritual, heavenly, and incorruptible things revealed in Ephesians concerning the Triune God, the divine life, what Christ is to us, what He has done, and the church—1:3-23; 2:5-6, 13-18; 3:16-21; 4:4-6; 5:23, 25-27.
In the Lord’s recovery we need to love our Lord Jesus Christ in all the divine, spiritual, heavenly, and incorruptible things revealed in Ephesians concerning the Triune God, the divine life, what Christ is to us, what He has done, and the church—1:3-23; 2:5-6, 13-18; 3:16-21; 4:4-6; 5:23, 25-27.
贰
保罗在以弗所书末了的祝福里，预示会有一个问题发生：以弗所召会的爱会消减，正如主在启示录二章二至五节的责备所指明的：
Paul’s blessing at the end of his Epistle to the Ephesians foreshadows a problem that would arise: the love in the church in Ephesus would fade, as indicated by the Lord’s rebuke in Revelation 2:2-5:
Paul’s blessing at the end of his Epistle to the Ephesians foreshadows a problem that would arise: the love in the church in Ephesus would fade, as indicated by the Lord’s rebuke in Revelation 2:2-5:
一
以弗所六章二十四节末了的话对于恩典的同在加上一个条件—在不朽坏之中爱主；这似乎含示，如果以弗所人不这样爱主，主的恩典就不再与他们同在了。
The concluding word of Ephesians 6:24 adds a condition to the presence of grace: loving the Lord in incorruptibility; this seems to imply that if the Ephesians did not love the Lord in such a way, the grace of the Lord would no longer be with them.

二
以弗所书强调恩典与爱的关系（一2、4，三17，四2、15~16，五2，六23~24）；这指明我们要继续不断地领受并享受恩典，需要满足一个条件，就是爱。
Ephesians emphasizes the relationship between grace and love (1:2, 4; 3:17; 4:2, 15-16; 5:2; 6:23-24); this indicates that if we want to receive and enjoy grace continually, we need to fulfill one condition—love.

三
在以弗所的召会在对主的爱上失败了；这失败成了历代召会失败的主因—太二四12，可十二30~31，参但七25：
The church in Ephesus failed in the matter of loving the Lord; such a failure became the main reason for the failure of the church throughout the ages—Matt. 24:12; Mark 12:30-31; cf. Dan. 7:25:

１
真正的新约职事总是挑旺我们用起初的爱来爱主耶稣，加强我们单纯地享受基督作我们生命的供应—林后十一2~3，三3~6。
The genuine ministry of the New Testament always stirs us up to love the Lord Jesus with the first love, strengthening us in the simplicity of enjoying Christ as our life supply—2 Cor. 11:2-3; 3:3-6.
The genuine ministry of the New Testament always stirs us up to love the Lord Jesus with the first love, strengthening us in the simplicity of enjoying Christ as our life supply—2 Cor. 11:2-3; 3:3-6.
２
在亚西亚的众召会，包括在以弗所的召会，离弃了使徒保罗许配的职事（提后一15，林后十一2~3）；在大约二十六年之后，使徒约翰写信给在以弗所的召会时，他们已经离弃了起初的爱，并失去了对基督真正的享受，结果失去了主的见证（启二4~5、7）。
The churches in Asia, including the church in Ephesus, turned away from the apostle Paul’s betrothing ministry (2 Tim. 1:15; 2 Cor. 11:2-3); approximately twenty-six years later, when the apostle John wrote the epistle to the church in Ephesus, they had left their first love and lost the genuine enjoyment of Christ, resulting in the loss of the testimony of the Lord (Rev. 2:4-5, 7).

叁
在以弗所书里，召会的启示有两个主要方面：第一方面是职事的工作建造基督的身体，第二方面是我们属灵的生活，包含许多属灵的经历，使我们能过一种生活，是符合召会生活的：
The revelation of the church in the Epistle to the Ephesians has two main aspects: the first aspect is the work of the ministry to build up the Body of Christ, and the second aspect is our spiritual life, which comprises many spiritual experiences that enable us to live a life that matches the church life:

我们要借着作职事的工作，建造基督的身体，而在不朽坏之中爱主：

We need to love the Lord in incorruptibility by doing the work of the ministry to build up the Body of Christ:
１
今天所需要的是身体生机的建造，这建造不是直接借着作头的基督，或借着有恩赐的人，乃是借着所有的肢体被成全，像有恩赐的人一样尽功用—四11~16。
What is needed today is an organic building of the Body not directly by Christ as the Head or by the gifted persons but by all the members being perfected to function as the gifted persons do—4:11-16.

２
基督身体的建造包含以下几类永远且荣耀的工作：
The building up of the Body of Christ comprises the following categories of work, which are eternal and glorious:
The building up of the Body of Christ comprises the following categories of work, which are eternal and glorious:
ａ
我们需要访人传福音，将他们带进三一神里面（太二八19，可十六15，路二四47，约十五5，参提后一10），将他们当作祭物献与神（罗十五16）。
We need to visit others with the gospel to bring them into the Triune God (Matt. 28:19; Mark 16:15; Luke 24:47; John 15:5; cf. 2 Tim. 1:10), offering them as sacrifices to God (Rom. 15:16).

ｂ
我们需要在家聚会中牧养初信者（约十五16，二一15~17），喂养他们，帮助他们长大，使他们能将自己当作活祭献给神（彼前二2，罗十二1）。
We need to shepherd the new believers in home meetings (John 15:16; 21:15-17), nourishing them and helping them to grow so that they can offer themselves as living sacrifices to God (1 Pet. 2:2; Rom. 12:1).

ｃ
我们需要在排聚会中成全圣徒，使他们能作职事的工作，为着基督身体生机的建造—弗四11~16，来十24~25。
We need to perfect the saints in group meetings that they may do the work of the ministry unto the organic building up of the Body of Christ—Eph. 4:11-16; Heb. 10:24-25.
We need to perfect the saints in group meetings that they may do the work of the ministry unto the organic building up of the Body of Christ—Eph. 4:11-16; Heb. 10:24-25.
ｄ
我们需要带领圣徒申言，在召会聚会中一个一个为神说话，生机地建造召会—林前十四3、4下、12、26、31。
We need to lead the saints to prophesy, to speak for God, one by one in the church meetings for the organic building up of the church—1 Cor. 14:3, 4b, 12, 26, 31.
We need to lead the saints to prophesy, to speak for God, one by one in the church meetings for the organic building up of the church—1 Cor. 14:3, 4b, 12, 26, 31.
３
这是基督身体生机的事奉，也是新约福音祭司体系的生机事奉（彼前二5、9），我们必须像使徒保罗一样，为这事劳苦奋斗，用全般的智慧，将各人在基督里成熟地献与神（西一28~29）。
This is the organic service of the Body of Christ, which is also the organic service of the New Testament priesthood of the gospel (1 Pet. 2:5, 9), in which we have to be like the apostle Paul, who labored and struggled in all wisdom to present every man full-grown in Christ to God (Col. 1:28-29).

二
我们要照着以弗所书各章所揭示的，在符合召会生活的属灵经历中，在不朽坏之中爱主：
We need to love the Lord in incorruptibility in the spiritual experiences that match the church life as unveiled in each chapter of Ephesians:
We need to love the Lord in incorruptibility in the spiritual experiences that match the church life as unveiled in each chapter of Ephesians:
１
一章揭示，我们是在基督里蒙拣选，在爱里，在神面前，成为圣别、没有瑕疵（4）；二章揭示，我们是神的杰作，在基督耶稣里，为着善良事工创造的（10）；三章揭示，基督追测不尽的丰富成为我们的享受，基督安家在我们心里，以及我们被充满，成为神一切的丰满（8、14~19）；四章揭示，我们脱去旧人并穿上新人（22~24）；五章揭示，我们在灵里被充满，用诗章、颂辞、灵歌，彼此对说，从心中向主歌唱、颂咏（18~19）；六章揭示，我们在主里得着加力，并穿戴神全副的军装（10~11）。
Chapter 1 unveils our being chosen in Christ to be holy and without blemish before God in love (v. 4); chapter 2 unveils our being God’s masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus for good works (v. 10); chapter 3 unveils the unsearchable riches of Christ becoming our enjoyment, Christ making His home in our hearts, and our being filled unto all the fullness of God (vv. 8,14-19); chapter 4 unveils our putting off the old man and putting on the new man (vv. 22-24); chapter 5 unveils our being filled in spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and psalming with our heart to the Lord (vv. 18-19); and chapter 6 unveils our being empowered in the Lord and putting on the whole armor of God (vv. 10-11).

２
以弗所书中一切属灵经历的秘诀，乃是要得加强到里面的人里（三16），以得着扶持之恩典的供应（2、8，六24）。
The key to all the spiritual experiences in Ephesians is to be strengthened into the inner man (3:16) in order to be supplied with the supporting grace (vv. 2, 8; 6:24).

３
这就是过召会生活、复兴的生活、不断得胜的生活以及在不朽坏之中爱主之生活神奇而平常的路。
This is the miraculous yet normal way to live the church life, a revived life, a life that continually overcomes, and a life that loves the Lord in incorruptibility.
