a. If we have good digestion, there will be a thoroughfare for the food to get into every part of our inward being—Eph. 3:16-17a.

b. Indigestion means that there is no way for Christ as the spiritual food to get into our inward parts—Heb. 3:12-13, 15; 4:2.
c 我们必须使我们全人同我们里面所有的部分，一直向主敞开，使属灵的食物在我们里面畅通无阻；我们若如此行，就会有正确的消化和吸收，吸取基督作属灵的养分，并且基督会成为我们的构成成分─西三4、10～11。
c. We need to keep our whole being with all our inward parts open to the Lord so that the spiritual food will have a thoroughfare within us; if we do this, we will have proper digestion and assimilation, we will absorb Christ as spir-itual nourishment, and Christ will become our constitu-ent—Col. 3:4, 10-11.

A. Although Jeremiah suffered more than all the other prophets, he had gladness and joy in his heart whenever he found God's words and ate them—v. 16.
二 十六节的“成了”这辞指明欢喜快乐是神的话吃、消化、吸收并构成到我们里面的结果，使主的喜乐成为我们的喜乐─约十五7、10～11：

四 罗马十四章十七节说到“圣灵中的喜乐”：─引用经文

1 保罗几乎将基督的话人位化了；他告诉我们，要让基督的话住在我们里面，好像这话是个活的人位─西三16，参弗三17。
1. Paul almost personifies the word of Christ; he tells us to let this word dwell in us, as if it were a living person—Col. 3:16; cf. Eph. 3:17.
2 首先我们有基督作我们的生命；然后我们有祂人位化的活话，如同祂的人位住在我们里面─西三4、16。
2. First, we have Christ as our life; then we have His living word personified as His person dwelling in us—Col. 3:4, 16.
3 基督的话既能住在我们里面，就必定是个活的人位；因此，让基督的话住在我们里面，指明我们让一个活的人位─基督自己─住在我们里面─16节，一27。
3. Since the word of Christ can dwell in us, it must be a living person; therefore, to let the word of Christ dwell in us indicates that we allow a living per son—Christ Himself—to dwell in us—v. 16; 1:27.

2 基督的话丰丰富富地住在我们里面，意思是这话居留并居住在我们里面，是丰丰富富的─16节。
2. For the word of Christ to dwell in us richly means that it inhabits us, in dwells us, in a rich way—v. 16.
3 在希腊原文，翻作“住”的字，意思是“在家里”、“居住”：
