b. Because Paul lived in the person of Christ, he experienced Christ as changelessness (2 Cor. 1:17-20), as meekness and gentleness (10:1), as truthfulness (11:10), as power (12:10; 13:4), as grace (v. 14), and as the One speaking in him (v. 3; cf. 2:17).
３ 我们乃是借着圣灵的破碎和构成的工作，接受基督作恩典，就是美地的实际，借此我们里面的人就为神圣三一所重建─十二7～10，十三14。
3. We receive Christ as grace, the reality of the good land, through the breaking and constituting work of the Holy Spirit, whereby our inner being is rebuilt with the Divine Trinity——12:7-10; 13:14.

2. To apprehend the dimensions of Christ, we need all the saints.
３ 我们对基督的经历，必须是三度的，像一立方体：
3. Our experience of Christ must become three-dimensional, like a cube:
a 我们经历基督必须来、去、上、下，使我们至终对祂有扎实、“立方”的经历；这样的经历既不倒也不破。
a. In our experience of Christ we must go back and forth and up and down so that eventually our experience of Him may be a solid "cube"; when our experience is like this, we cannot fall or be broken.

b. Both in the tabernacle and in the temple, the Holy of Holies was a cube of ten and twenty cubits respectively—— Exo. 26:2-8; 1 Kings 6:20.

１ 地是基督自己；殿和城是基督的丰满，就是召会，基督的身体──22～23，二21～22。
1. The land is Christ Himself, and the temple and the city are the fullness of Christ, the church, which is His Body——1:22-23; 2:21-22.
２ 殿使神得着彰显，城使神得以掌权；这成就神永远的定旨─创一26。
2. The temple is for the expression of God, and the city is for the dominion of God; this fulfills God's eternal purpose——Gen. 1:26.
二 当我们为着我们在聚会生活中能团体地享受基督，而在日常生活中个人享受基督，神就在我们中间，我们也就是祂的居所和祂的国：
B. When we enjoy Christ personally in our daily life for our collective enjoyment of Him in our meeting life, God is among us, and we are His dwelling place and His kingdom:
１ 当我们享受基督到这样的程度，召会聚会就要满了神，一切的活动要将神传达并传输给人，使人得着神的注入─林前十四25。

C. The main aspects of God's house, His dwelling place for His expression, speak of God's presence (God's house signifies Christ, the church, the New Jerusalem, and our spirit):
