为了在身体生活里的相调,我们要经过十字架,凭着那灵,为着基督身体的缘故,将基督分赐给人。
至于我们俊美的肢体,就不需要了。但神将这身体调和在一起,把更丰盈的体面加给那有缺欠的肢体,
But our comely members have no need. But God has blended the body together, giving more abundant honor to the member that lacked,
神把身体调和在一起。(参林前十二23-27)
林前十16
我们所祝福的福杯,岂不是基督之血的交通么?我们所擘开的饼,岂不是基督身体的交通么?
The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the fellowship of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the fellowship of the body of Christ?
因着只有一个饼,我们虽多,还是一个身体,因我们都分受这一个饼。
Seeing that there is one bread, we who are many are one Body; for we all partake of the one bread.
所有的信徒都被调和成为一个基督的身体。(参利二4)
793 西四16、启一11
这书信在你们中间念了之后,务要叫在老底嘉的召会也念,你们也要念从老底嘉来的书信。
And when this letter is read among you, cause that it be read in the church of the Laodiceans also, and that you also read the one from Laodicea.
众召会之间的相调是需要的。
启一11
你所看见的,当写在书上,寄给那七个召会:给以弗所、给士每拿、给别迦摩、给推雅推喇、给撒狄、给非拉铁非、给老底嘉。
And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me; and when I turned, I saw seven golden lampstands,
主写给在亚西亚七个召会的一封书信,乃是由祂分别写给每个召会的七封书信所组成。藉此,祂将这七个召会调在一起。(参启一4上。)
