神永远的定旨是要使祂所拣选并救赎的人，在生命和性情上与祂一式一样，作祂团体的彰显，这定旨是借着三一神作三部分人的生命而得以完成。
God's eternal purpose to make His chosen and redeemed people the same as He is in life and nature for His corporate expression is fulfilled by the Triune God being life to the tripartite man.
召会所有的美丽、能力、光明，以及召会能作出许多的事，都是因为里面有这位是生命的基督作内容；召会是生命的结果，生命是召会的内容。
All the beauty, power, brightness, and ability of the church come from the fact that Christ as life is her inward content; the church is the result of life, and life is the content of the church.
我们必须站在召会独一的立场，就是一的真正立场上，受基督身体的限制，不越过我们的度量；为着主在祂恢复里，在地方一面并宇宙一面的行动，我们必须在同心合意里有身体的感觉。
We must stand on the unique ground of the church, the genuine ground of oneness; we must be under the limitation of the Body of Christ, not going beyond our measure; and we must be Body-conscious in one accord for the Lord's move in His recovery both locally and universally.
为着基督身体的实际与建造，我们必须在基督独一的元首权柄之下活在基督复活的生命里，并在一切事上长到元首基督里面。
For the reality and building up of the Body of Christ, we need to live in the resurrection life of Christ under the unique headship of Christ and grow up into the Head, Christ, in all things.
