(马太十三章)
The Church's seed is nought but Christ Himself
Sown into human hearts as life, thereby
Growing as wheat, producing flour fine
For bread both God and man to satisfy.

召会的种子，乃基督自己作生命子粒，撒在人心里，要长成麦子，细面能产出，作食物使神与人得满足。
But Satan hath the false believers sown
Among the saints as tares among the wheat,
To bring confusion and to hinder growth
That they may not fulfill God's plan complete.

但魔鬼却来，把虚假信徒撒在圣徒中，使圣徒迷糊，像稗子阻碍麦子的生长，使麦子不能供神、人饱享。
The Church's life just as the herb must be,
Grown out of Christ, who is the mustard seed;
Hidden and transient, little on the earth,
But good for food the hungry ones to feed.

召会的生命应该像嫩菜，从那芥菜种─基督─长出来；暂时长地上，式微且不显，却可作食物，供饥者饱餐。
But Satan came and made the little herb
To change its nature and to change its form,
That fully grown it did a tree become
Where many evil ones may lodge and swarm.

但魔鬼却来，使式微之菜改变了性质，也改了形态，而长成一棵显耀的大树，给许多恶者作栖身之处。
Satan has also used the fallen "church"
Evil and heathen practice to include,
As leaven mingled with the meal of wheat,
Thus to corrupt its purity as food.

魔鬼且利用变质的“召会”，带进来外邦邪恶的俗规，如同将面酵搀在细面里，败坏其纯洁，破坏神目的。
But Christ as life would so transform the saints
That they may be as pearl and precious stone,
As the materials suitable to build
Into His Church to make His Kingdom known.

但主作生命，要变化圣徒，使他们成为宝石和珍珠，作贵重材料，建造成召会，有国度之实，光荣又宝贵。
Such an assembly grown in Christ as life,
Transformed and built with Christ in them annealed,
Is as the goodly pearl for preciousness
And as the treasure hidden in the field.

靠主作生命，召会得生长，与基督调和，变成祂形像；像藏地宝贝和贵重珍珠，适合主建造，带进神国度。
Lord, separate us from the devil's "tares,"
Each one deliver from the monstrous "tree,"
From all the "leaven" may Thou purify,
That we may be as food to man and Thee.

求主从“稗子”将我们分出，救我们脱离那宗教“大树”，从我们除去所有的“面酵”，使得作食物，供神人需要。
Cause us to grow in life divine each day
That we may be transformed and built by Thee
Into a body to express Thyself,
That Thou in us Thy Church and Kingdom see.

使我们生长在你生命里，得以被变化建造成一体，作你的召会，彰显你自己，叫你能得着国度的实际。
