第七篇 因素七：相调为着基督身体的实际
The Factor of Blending for the Reality of the Body of Christ
读经：罗十二5，林前六17，十二24、31下，十三1~8上，十17，利二4，弗三16~17上，四16
壹 神经纶的最高峰乃是基督身体的实际；基督身体的实际完全是生机的─罗八2、6、10~11，十二4~5：
I. The highest peak in God's economy is the reality of the Body of Christ; the reality of the Body of Christ is absolutely organic—Rom. 8:2, 6, 10-11; 12:4-5:
一 使徒保罗完成的职事，完完全全以基督的身体为焦点，特别是罗马书、哥林多前书、以弗所书、歌罗西书；身体是神不断作工的最终目标，因此身体就是神整个启示最拔尖的点─罗十二4~5，林前十二12~13、18~22，弗一22~23，二16，三6，四4、12、15~16，五23、30，西一18、24，二19，三15。
A. The completing ministry of the apostle Paul is altogether focused on the Body of Christ— in particular, Romans, 1 Corinthians, Ephesians, and Colossians; the Body is the ultimate item of God's continual working, so the Body is the top point of God's entire revelation—Rom. 12:4-5; 1 Cor. 12:12-13, 18-22; Eph. 1:22-23; 2:16; 3:6; 4:4, 12, 15-16; 5:23, 30; Col. 1:18, 24; 2:19; 3:15.
二 罗马十二章是由生机联结这个角度来论到基督的身体，五节说，“我们这许多人，在基督里是一个身体”：─引用经文
B. Romans 12 speaks of the Body from the angle of the organic union; verse 5 says, "We who are many are one Body in Christ":
1 这节的“在基督里”就指明生机的联结；“在基督里”乃是一件生机联结的事─参约三16，罗六3~6，十一17、19，十六7~10，林前一30，林后二17，五17，十二2，加三27。
1. Two words from this verse indicate the organic union—in Christ; "in Christ" is a matter of the organic union—cf. John 3:16; Rom. 6:3-6; 11:17, 19; 16:7-10; 1 Cor. 1:30; 2 Cor. 2:17; 5:17; 12:2; Gal. 3:27.
2 我们在基督里是一个身体，与祂有生机的联结；这联结使我们在生命里与祂是一，也与祂身体所有的肢体是一；我们留在这生机的联结里，就是实际地活在基督的身体里─罗八16，林前六17，提后四22，罗八4~6。
2. We are one Body in Christ, having an organic union with Him; this union makes us one in life with Him and with all the other members of His Body; when we remain in this organic union, we are actually living in the Body of Christ—Rom. 8:16; 1 Cor. 6:17; 2 Tim. 4:22; Rom. 8:4-6.
3 身体的实际乃是留在与基督生机的联结里；约翰十五章一至十一节启示，基督是真葡萄树，我们是祂的枝子；我们作为基督的枝子，必须住在祂里面，住在祂里面，意思是留在与祂生机的联结里─4~5节，参八31，十五7。
3. The actuality of the Body of Christ is in our remaining in the organic union with Christ; John 15:1-11 reveals that Christ is the true vine and that we are His branches; as the branches of Christ, we must abide in Him, which simply means to remain in our organic union with Christ—vv. 4-5; cf. 8:31; 15:7.
贰 主的恢复是为着建造基督的身体；因此，认识身体乃是主正确的恢复─林前十二27，弗四16，西三15：
II. The Lord's recovery is for the building up of the Body of Christ; thus, to know the Body is the proper recovery of the Lord—1 Cor. 12:27; Eph. 4:16; Col. 3:15:
一 召会是以基督的身体为其生机的因素；若没有基督的身体，召会就没有生命，只是一个属人的组织─林前一2，十二12~13、27。
A. The church takes the Body of Christ as its organic factor; without the Body of Christ, the church is lifeless and is a mere human organization—1 Cor. 1:2; 12:12-13, 27.
二 基督的身体是召会的内在意义；如果没有身体，召会就没有意义─罗十二4~5，十六1、4、16。
B. The Body is the intrinsic significance of the church; without the Body, the church makes no sense and has no meaning—Rom. 12:4-5; 16:1, 4, 16.
三 爱遮盖人并建造人，所以为着建造基督的身体，在我们的所是和所作上，爱乃是极超越的路─林前八1下，十二31下，十三1~8上、13。
C. Love covers and builds up, so love is the most excellent way for us to be anything and to do anything for the building up of the Body of Christ—1 Cor. 8:1b; 12:31b; 13:1-8a, 13.
四 长老们必须彼此牧养，彼此相爱，作身体生活的模型；长老们需要彼此相爱，他们的妻子也需要彼此相爱，他们也需要爱彼此的儿女─约二一15~17，林前十三4~8上。
D. The elders should shepherd one another and love one another to be a model of the Body life; the elders need to love one another, their wives need to love one another, and they need to love one another's children—John 21:15-17; 1 Cor. 13:4-8a.
五 我们若要有基督身体的实际，就必须让基督安家在我们心里；基督身体的实际乃是对内住基督内里的经历─弗三16~17上，四16，西一27，三4、15。
E. If we would have the reality of the Body of Christ, we must allow Christ to make His home in our hearts; the reality of the Body is the inner experience of the indwelling Christ—Eph. 3:16-17a; 4:16; Col. 1:27; 3:4, 15.
六 主急切地需要基督身体的实际在众地方召会出现；除非这个身体有相当的出现，否则主耶稣不会回来─弗一22~23，四16，五27、30，启十九7。
F. The Lord urgently needs the reality of the Body of Christ to be expressed in the local churches; unless there is a substantial expression of the Body, the Lord Jesus will not return—Eph. 1:22-23; 4:16; 5:27, 30; Rev. 19:7.
七 主需要得胜者，好完成神的经纶，使祂得着基督的身体，并毁坏祂的仇敌；没有得胜者，基督的身体就无法建造起来，而基督的身体若没有建造起来，基督就无法回来迎娶新妇─弗一10，三10，启十二11，十九7~9。
G. The Lord needs the overcomers to carry out the economy of God to have the Body of Christ and to destroy His enemy; without the overcomers the Body of Christ cannot be built up, and unless the Body of Christ is built up, Christ cannot come back for His bride— Eph. 1:10; 3:10; Rev. 12:11; 19:7-9.
叁 主的恢复乃是建造锡安─得胜者作基督身体的实际，终极完成于新耶路撒冷；在召会生活中，我们必须竭力达到今日的锡安─弗一22~23，四16，林前一2，十二27，启十四1，二一2：
III. The Lord's recovery is to build up Zion—the overcomers as the reality of the Body of Christ consummating in the New Jerusalem; in the church life we must endeavor to reach today's Zion—Eph. 1:22-23; 4:16; 1 Cor. 1:2; 12:27; Rev. 14:1; 21:2:
一 锡安作为圣城耶路撒冷的高峰和美丽，预表得胜者是召会的高峰、中心、拔高、加强、丰富、美丽和实际─诗四八2、11~12，五十2，二十2，五三6上，八七2。
A. As the highlight and beauty of the holy city, Jerusalem, Zion typifies the overcomers as the high peak, the center, the uplifting, the strengthening, the enriching, the beauty, and the reality of the church—Psa. 48:2, 11-12; 50:2; 20:2; 53:6a; 87:2.
二 耶路撒冷预表全体的召会，锡安预表召会中的得胜者；旧约每次说到锡安和耶路撒冷的关系，都叫我们看见，耶路撒冷的特色、生命、祝福、建立，都是从锡安得着─王上八1，诗五一18，一〇二21，一二八5，一三五21，赛四一27，珥三17。
B. Jerusalem typifies the whole body of the church, while Zion typifies the overcomers of the church; every time the Old Testament speaks of the relationship between Zion and Jerusalem, it shows us that the characteristics, the life, the blessing, and the establishment of Jerusalem come from Zion—1 Kings 8:1; Psa. 51:18; 102:21; 128:5; 135:21; Isa. 41:27; Joel 3:17.
三 新耶路撒冷乃是得胜者的总和；主信徒中的遗民，较早的得胜者，将成为基督的新妇，为时一千年（启十九7~9，二十4~6）；然后他们要与主其余的信徒，较晚的得胜者，一同成为基督的妻子，直到永远（二一2~3、7）：─引用经文
C. The New Jerusalem is the totality of the overcomers; a remnant of the Lord's believers, the earlier overcomers, will be the bride of Christ for one thousand years (Rev. 19:7-9; 20:4-6); then they will join the rest of the Lord's believers, the later overcomers, to be the wife of Christ for eternity (21:2-3, 7):
1 较早的得胜者乃是耶路撒冷里之锡安的实际，就是召会里之基督身体的实际，他们心中想往锡安大道；他们借着钉十字架的基督（由作他们避难所之窝的铜祭坛所表征），并借着在升天里复活的基督（由作他们安息之房屋的金香坛所表征），合并到作他们居所的神里面，借此在里面接受召会的路─诗四八2，八四3~5，参箴二七8。
1. The earlier overcomers, as the reality of Zion within Jerusalem, the reality of the Body of Christ within the church, have highways to Zion in their heart; they take the way of the church internally by being incorporated into God as their dwelling place through the crucified Christ, typified by the bronze altar as their nest for their refuge, and through the resurrected Christ in ascension, typified by the incense altar as their home for their rest—Psa. 48:2; 84:3-5; cf. Prov. 27:8.
2 得胜的意思是我们爱主胜于我们的己，胜于我们的魂生命；为着基督身体的实际，得胜者唯独认识基督并爱基督─腓三10，四12，启二4~5、7，十二11。
2. To overcome means that we love the Lord more than our self, more than our soul-life; an overcomer knows and loves only Christ for the reality of the Body of Christ—Phil. 3:10; 4:12; Rev. 2:4-5, 7; 12:11.
3 主在等待一班得胜者，在复活里活出基督身体的实际，成为基督的新妇，将祂带回来，并引进祂的国度时代；为此我们要祷告：“主啊，愿我能蒙你的怜悯、恩典，作你的得胜者。”
3. The Lord is waiting for a group of overcomers to live out the reality of the Body of Christ in resurrection to become the bride of Christ to bring Him back and to usher in His kingdom age; for this we need to pray, "Lord, may I receive Your mercy and grace to be one of Your overcomers."
肆 神已经将身体调和在一起（林前十二24）；“调和”这辞的意思是“调整”、“使之和谐”、“调节”并“调在一起”，含示失去区别：─引用经文
IV. God has blended the Body together (1 Cor. 12:24); the word blended means "adjusted," "harmonized," "tempered," and "mingled," implying the losing of distinctions:
一 我们要为着基督身体的实际而相调，就必须经过十字架，凭着那灵，为着基督身体的建造，将基督分赐给别人。
A. In order to be blended for the reality of the Body of Christ, we have to go through the cross and be by the Spirit to dispense Christ to others for the building up of the Body of Christ.
二 调和的意思是，我们总该停下来与别人交通；若没有与其他一同配搭的圣徒交通，我们就不该作什么；因为交通调整我们，使我们和谐，调节我们，把我们调在一起─参结一12与注1。
B. Blending means that we should always stop in order to fellowship with others; we should not do anything without fellowshipping with the other saints who are coordinating with us, because fellowship adjusts us, harmonizes us, tempers us, and mingles us—cf. Ezek. 1:12 and footnote 1.
三 一班负责弟兄也许常常在一起聚会而没有相调；相调的意思是经过十字架，凭着那灵行事，并且作每件事都为着基督身体的缘故而分赐基督，借此我们被别人摸着，我们也摸着别人。
C. A group of responsible brothers may meet together often without being blended; to be blended means that we are touched by others and that we are touching others by going through the cross, doing things by the Spirit, and doing everything to dispense Christ for His Body's sake.
四 这样的调和不是交际，乃是个别肢体、区内的众召会、同工、长老所享受、经历并有分于之基督的调和─参林前一9。
D. Such a blending is not social but the blending of the very Christ whom the individual members, the district churches, the co-workers, and the elders enjoy, experience, and partake of—cf. 1 Cor. 1:9.
五 我们需要跟随使徒的脚踪，将众圣徒带进基督身体全体相调的生活里；使徒借着推荐与问安，将我们带进基督身体全体相调的生活里，好使平安的神能将撒但践踏在我们脚下，并使我们能得享基督丰富的恩典─罗十六1~16、21~23、20：
E. We need to follow in the apostle's footsteps to bring all the saints into the blending life of the entire Body of Christ; the apostle brought us into the blending life of the entire Body of Christ by recommendations and greetings in order that the God of peace may crush Satan under our feet, and we may enjoy the rich grace of Christ—Rom. 16:1-16, 21-23, 20:
1 相调的目的是要将我们众人引进基督身体的实际；我们需要在作为手续的众地方召会里，好被带进基督身体的实际这目标里。
1. The purpose of the blending is to usher us all into the reality of the Body of Christ; we need to be in the local churches as the procedure to be brought into the reality of the Body of Christ as the goal.
2 主恢复的最高峰，能真正、实际、真实完成神经纶的，不是叫神以有形的作法产生许多地方召会，乃是让神产生生机的身体作祂的生机体。
2. The highest peak of the Lord's recovery that can really, practically, and actually carry out God's economy is for God to produce not many local churches in a physical way but an organic Body to be His organism.
3 保罗认为召会是一个饼（林前十17），这种想法不是他自己发明的，乃是取自旧约里的素祭（利二4）；素祭的细面，每一部分都是用油调和的─那就是相调。
3. Paul's thought of the church being one bread (1 Cor. 10:17) was not his own invention; rather, it was taken from the Old Testament with the meal offering (Lev. 2:4); every part of the flour of the meal offering was mingled with the oil—that is the blending.
4 少有人说到相调，因为这事不仅非常高深，也非常奥秘；相调不是一件物质的事；我们相调的意义，乃是基督身体的实际。
4. Hardly anyone speaks about blending because this is not only very high and deep but also very mysterious; it is not a physical matter; the significance of our blending is the reality of the Body of Christ.
5 相调乃是为着建造基督宇宙的身体（弗一23），为要照着神的喜悦，终极完成新耶路撒冷（启二一2），作神经纶的最终目标（弗三8~10，一9~10）。─引用经文
5. The blending is for the building up of the universal Body of Christ (Eph. 1:23) to consummate the New Jerusalem (Rev. 21:2) as the final goal of God's economy according to His good pleasure (Eph. 3:8-10; 1:9-10).
伍 神心头的愿望是要那在耶稣身上是实际者，也就是记载在四福音书里耶稣的神人生活，能借着实际的灵重复在基督身体的许多肢体上，而成为基督身体的实际，就是神经纶中的最高峰─弗四20~24、3~4：
V. The desire of God's heart is that the reality in Jesus, the God-man living of Jesus as recorded in the four Gospels, would be duplicated in the many members of Christ's Body by the Spirit of reality to become the reality of the Body of Christ, the highest peak in God's economy—Eph. 4:20-24, 3-4:
一 基督身体的实际，乃是实际的灵，就是耶稣的灵，调着我们的灵；耶稣的灵包含那在耶稣身上是实际者，也就是耶稣的神人生活─约十六13，徒十六7，罗八16，林前六17，腓一18~21上。
A. The reality of the Body of Christ is the Spirit of reality, who is the Spirit of Jesus, mingled with our spirit; the Spirit of Jesus includes the reality in Jesus, the God-man living of Jesus—John 16:13; Acts 16:7; Rom. 8:16; 1 Cor. 6:17; Phil. 1:19-21a.
二 当我们活在调和的灵里，我们就凭实际的灵，照着那在耶稣身上是实际者，照着四福音里祂的模型，而学基督，使祂的传记成为我们的历史；基督身体作为新人的生活，应当与四福音里所启示之耶稣的生活完全一样─弗一17，二22，三5、16，四23，五18，六18，加六17~18，罗一1、9，腓二5。
B. When we live in the mingled spirit, we are learning Christ according to the reality in Jesus by the Spirit of reality according to His model in the four Gospels so that His biography becomes our history; the living of the Body of Christ as the new man should be exactly the same as the living of Jesus revealed in the four Gospels—Eph. 1:17; 2:22; 3:5, 16; 4:23; 5:18; 6:18; Gal. 6:17-18; Rom. 1:1, 9; Phil. 2:5.
三 基督身体的实际乃是被成全之神人所过的团体生活，他们是真正的人，但他们不凭自己的生命，乃凭经过过程之神的生命而活；经过过程之神的属性借着他们的美德彰显出来─四5~9。
C. The reality of the Body of Christ is the corporate living by the perfected God-men, who are genuine men but are not living by their life but by the life of the processed God, whose attributes have been expressed through their virtues—4:5-9.
四 基督身体的实际乃是蒙重生、被变化、得荣耀的三部分神人，在基督的复活里，与三一神在永远联结里调和的生活─利二4~5，诗九二10，林前十二12，十17：
D. The reality of the Body of Christ is the mingling living in the eternal union of the regenerated, transformed, and glorified tripartite God-men with the Triune God in the resurrection of Christ—Lev. 2:4-5; Psa. 92:10; 1 Cor. 12:12; 10:17:
1 我们用“调和”这辞（英文mingling在这段话里为现在分词─译注），因为这种生活仍在进行。
1. We use the word mingling because this living is still going on.
2 这种调和的生活，乃是在基督的复活里，而这复活的实际就是那灵；这复活将终极完成的神分赐给信徒，并将那胜过死的生命释放到信徒里面。
2. Such a mingling living is in the resurrection of Christ, and the reality of this resurrection is the Spirit; this resurrection imparts the consummated God and releases the death-overcoming life into the believers.
五 被成全之神人所过这团体、调和的生活，要终极完成于新天新地里的新耶路撒冷，作神的扩增并彰显，直到永远─启二一2~3、9下~11、22。
E. This corporate and mingling living by the perfected God-men consummates ultimately in the New Jerusalem in the new heaven and new earth as God's increase and expression for eternity—Rev. 21:2-3, 9b-11, 22.
