１
第一面是基督作信徒的义，使他们在悔改归向神并信入基督时，客观地在神面前得称义—罗三24~26，徒十三39，加三24下、27。
The first aspect is to be the believers’ righteousness for them to be justified before God objectively at the time of their repenting unto God and believing into Christ—Rom. 3:24-26; Acts 13:39; Gal. 3:24b, 27.

第二面是基督作信徒的义，从他们活出来作神的显明；这位神就是在基督里赐给信徒的义，使他们主观地蒙神称义—罗四25，彼前二24上，雅二24，太五20，启十九8。
The second aspect is to be the believers’ righteousness lived out of them as the manifestation of God, who is the righteousness in Christ given to the believers for them to be justified by God subjectively—Rom. 4:25; 1 Pet. 2:24a; James 2:24; Matt. 5:20; Rev. 19:8.

As our subjective righteousness, Christ is the One dwelling in us to live for us a life that can be justified by God and that is always acceptable to God—Matt. 5:6, 20.

我们所接受，使我们得救的义是客观的，使我们满足公义之神的要求；而得胜圣徒的义是主观的，使他们满足得胜基督的要求—林前一30，腓三9。
The righteousness we received for our salvation is objective and enables us to meet the requirement of the righteous God, whereas the righteousnesses of the overcoming saints are subjective and enable them to meet the requirement of the overcoming Christ—1 Cor. 1:30; Phil. 3:9.
