新约之下所有事奉，不在字句只在灵；字句乃是将人杀死，唯有灵是叫人生。外面作的全都不算，里面作的才算是；不是按着旧的仪文，乃是照灵新样式。
Not of letters, but of spirit,
The New Testamental way;
For 'tis life the spirit giveth,
But the letters always slay.
Outward work God never reckons,
But what's from the inmost part;
It is not to serve in letter,
But life's newness to impart.

不是仅借外面教导，乃靠里面的恩膏；不是仅借外面样式，乃借里面的光照。不是凭着人的规条，乃凭属天的管治；不是照着人的决定，乃照神赐的启示。
Not just by the outward teachings,
But by His anointing moved;
Not just by the outward pattern,
But by inward vision proved.
Not by human rules or rituals,
But by heaven's rule within;
Not by human-made decisions,
But by guidance giv'n of Him.

不是给人死的宗教，乃是供应活基督；不是传递虚空神学，乃是活出主丰富。不是道理、字句、知识，乃是基督作信息；不是恩赐、仪式、作法，乃是基督为实际。
Not a dead religion serving,
But in Christ as life to live;
Not theology dispensing,
But a living Christ to give.
Not the knowledge of mere doctrine,
But the message Christ should be;
Not the gifts, the forms, the teachings,
But God's Christ-reality.

不是客观对神敬拜，乃是主观事奉神；不是传扬客观基督，乃让基督显我身。不是仅凭圣经作工，乃是借灵和生命；不是靠着肉体、自己，乃靠大能的圣灵。
Not objectively to worship,
But to serve Him inwardly;
Not to preach a Christ objective,
But Himself subjectively.
Not just by the Scripture serving,
But in spirit and in life;
Not by flesh, but by the Spirit
Filling, freeing from all strife.
