"Fully Accomplish Your Ministry"
读经：徒一17、25，提后四5末，提前一12，林后四1，弗四11~12，西四17
壹 在主的眼中只有一个职事─林后四1，弗四12：
I. In the eyes of the Lord there is just one ministry—2 Cor. 4:1; Eph. 4:12:
一 当彼得说到需要有人代替犹大时，他说，“他本来列在我们数中，并且在这职事上得了一分”─徒一17：
A. Speaking of the need of a replacement for Judas, Peter said that Judas "was numbered among us and was allotted his portion of this ministry"—Acts 1:17:
1 使徒祷告求主指明所拣选的是哪一个，“叫他得这职事与使徒职分的地位”─24~25节。
1. The apostles prayed for the Lord to show them clearly the one whom He had chosen "to take the place of this ministry and apostleship"—vv. 24-25.
2 “这职事”在十七节和二十五节提到，是指为耶稣作见证的职事─8节：
2. As used in verses 17 and 25, the word ministry refers to the ministry that bears the testimony of Jesus—v. 8:
a 使徒虽有十二位，他们的职事却是唯一的“这职事”，就是在基督身体原则中团体的职事。
a. Though the apostles were twelve in number, their ministry was uniquely one—this ministry, a corporate ministry in the principle of the Body of Christ.
b 所有的使徒都是执行同一的职事，就是为成为肉体、复活、升天的耶稣基督这万有之主作唯一的见证。
b. All the apostles carried out the same ministry to bear the unique testimony of the incarnated, resurrected, and ascended Jesus Christ, who is the Lord of all.
二 保罗在林后四章一节说，“我们既照所蒙的怜悯，受了这职事，就不丧胆”：
B. In 2 Corinthians 4:1 Paul says, "Having this ministry as we have been shown mercy, we do not lose heart":
1 哥林多后书中的职事是所有新约执事团体的职事：
1. The ministry in 2 Corinthians is the corporate ministry of the New Testament ministers:
a 所有的执事，都各自有他们在这职事里的一分。
a. All the ministers have their own portion of the ministry.
b 在这团体的职事里，保罗有他的一分，彼得有他的一分，提摩太也有他的一分─提后四5末。
b. In this corporate ministry Paul had his portion, Peter had his portion, and Timothy had his portion—2 Tim. 4:5d.
c 我们把所有这些分加在一起，就是“这职事”，也就是新约的职事。
c. When we add all the portions together, we have "this ministry," which is the New Testament ministry.
2 众多的执事只有一个职事─新约的职事，为要完成神新约的经纶。
2. The many ministers have one ministry—the ministry of the new covenant for the accomplishment of God's New Testament economy.
3 使徒们一切的工作，都是要完成这唯一的职事，将基督供应人，以建造祂的身体。
3. All the apostles' works are to carry out this unique ministry, the ministering of Christ to people for the building up of His Body.
三 林后三章六节告诉我们，神“使我们够资格作新约的执事”：
C. Second Corinthians 3:6 tells us that God has made us "sufficient as ministers of a new covenant":
1 那灵，就是经过过程之三一神终极的表现，将神的生命，就是神自己，分赐到信徒和使徒里面，使他们成为新约的执事。
1. The Spirit, the ultimate expression of the processed Triune God, imparts the divine life, even God Himself, into the believers and the apostles, making them ministers of a new covenant.
2 因此，他们的职事乃是凭着赐生命的灵，用那是生命的三一神构成的─林前十五45下。
2. Hence, their ministry is constituted with the Triune God of life by His life giving Spirit—1 Cor. 15:45b.
四 “我感谢那加我能力的，我们的主基督耶稣，因祂以我为忠信，派我尽职事”─提前一12：
D. "I give thanks to Him who empowers me, Christ Jesus our Lord, that He has counted me faithful, appointing me to the ministry"—1 Tim. 1:12:
1 在这节里保罗不是说，“祂派我尽我的职事。”
1. In this verse Paul does not say, "He appointed me to my ministry."
2 保罗乃是说，主派他尽那唯一、团体的新约职事。
2. Paul says that the Lord appointed him to the one unique, corporate New Testament ministry.
3 我们都需要赞美主，因着祂的怜悯和恩典，祂派我们尽这建造基督身体的团体职事─弗四12、16。
3. We all should praise the Lord that by His mercy and grace He has appointed us to the corporate ministry that builds up the Body of Christ—Eph. 4:12, 16.
贰 虽然前述的经节启示新约中的职事是团体的，但另外一些经节指明职事也是个人的：
II. Although the foregoing verses reveal that the ministry in the New Testament is corporate, certain other verses indicate that the ministry is also personal:
一 行传二十章二十四节是指保罗个人的职事，因为保罗说到他从主领受的职事；这节里的职事是个人的职事：─引用经文
A. Acts 20:24 refers to Paul's personal ministry because Paul speaks of the ministry which he had received from the Lord; the ministry in this verse is the personal ministry:
1 保罗的职事就是他这个人；他已经与基督成为一─弗三17上，林前六17，林后三8~9，四1。
1. Paul's ministry was his being; he and Christ had become one—Eph. 3:17a; 1 Cor. 6:17; 2 Cor. 3:8-9; 4:1.
2 他所传讲的就是他所是的；他尽职将他的所是供应给人。
2. What he preached was what he was; he ministered his very being to others.
3 保罗与基督是一，并被基督构成；因此，他的职事乃是那构成到他所是里之基督的职事。
3. Paul was one with Christ and had been constituted of Christ; thus, his ministry was a ministry of the Christ who had been constituted into his being.
二 行传二十一章十九节明确是指保罗个人的职事，这节说，“保罗……将神借着他的职事，在外邦人中所行的事，都一一述说出来。”
B. Acts 21:19 definitely and clearly refers to Paul's personal ministry: "He related one by one the things which God did among the Gentiles through his ministry."
三 歌罗西四章十七节说，“务要留心你在主里所领受的职事，好尽这职事”；亚基布有他的一分职事，同样的原则，我们都有一分职事。
C. Colossians 4:17 says, "Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you fulfill it"; Archippus had a ministry, and in the same principle, we all have a ministry.
四 保罗在提后四章五节嘱咐提摩太要尽他的职事：─引用经文
D. In 2 Timothy 4:5 Paul charges Timothy to fully accomplish his ministry:
1 提摩太尽他的职事，即充盈他职事的完满度量。
1. For Timothy to fully accomplish his ministry was for him to fill up the full measure of his ministry.
2 这职事指话语的职事，将基督一切的丰富（弗三8）供应给罪人和信徒，以建造基督的身体（四11~12）。─引用经文
2. This ministry denotes the ministry of the word, which is to minister Christ in all His riches (Eph. 3:8) to both sinners and believers for the building up of the Body of Christ (4:11-12).
3 要抵挡提后四章三至四节所预言败落的趋势，这样的职事是极其需要的。─引用经文
3. Such a ministry is desperately needed to counter the trend of decline, as prophesied in 2 Timothy 4:3 and 4.
五 因着新约的职事乃是基督身体的事奉，而且因着身体有许多肢体，所以每一个肢体都有各自的职事─弗四11~12：
E. Because the New Testament ministry is the service of the Body of Christ and because the Body has many members, every member has his own ministry—Eph. 4:11-12:
1 按肢体来说，有许多的职事；然而按整个身体来说，只有一个职事─提前一12。
1. According to the members, there are many ministries; however, according to the Body as a whole, there is just one ministry—1 Tim. 1:12.
2 我们个人的职事不该从团体的职事分开。
2. Our personal ministry should not be separate from the corporate ministry.
3 身体有一个团体的职事，而身体所有的肢体则有其个别的职事。
3. The Body has a corporate ministry, and all the members of the Body have their individual ministries.
4 我们看过，身体上所有肢体的职事加起来就等于团体的职事─弗四12。
4. As we have seen, all the ministries of the members of the Body added together equal the corporate ministry—Eph. 4:12.
六 应该从不同的角度说一样的话─林前一10：
F. There should be the same speaking from different angles—1 Cor. 1:10:
1 需要有许多人被兴起，从不同的角度来说同样的事。
1. There is a need for many to be raised up to speak the same thing from different angles.
2 我们相信主会兴起更多的人来尽这唯一的职事─林后四1。
2. We believe that the Lord will raise up many more to carry out the unique ministry—2 Cor. 4:1.
3 我们在这职事里都有一分；这是一个职事，却有不同的功能，不同的角度，以及不同的方面─弗四11~12。
3. We all have a part in this ministry, which is the one ministry with different functions, different angles, and different aspects—Eph. 4:11-12.
4 我们并不是跟随一个人，也不是模仿任何人；然而，我们是供应同样的东西。
4. We are not following a man or imitating anyone; however, we are ministering the same thing.
叁 “为要成全圣徒，目的是为着职事的工作，为着建造基督的身体”─12节：
III. "For the perfecting of the saints unto the work of the ministry, unto the building up of the Body of Christ"—v. 12:
一 使徒、申言者、传福音者以及牧人教师（11）是为要成全圣徒，目的是为着十二节所提到职事的工作。─引用经文
A. The apostles, prophets, evangelists, and shepherd-teachers (v. 11) are for the perfecting of the saints unto the work of the ministry mentioned in verse 12.
二 十一节那许多有恩赐的人，只有一个职事，就是将基督供应人，以建造基督的身体；这是新约经纶中唯一的职事─林后四1，提前一12。
B. The many gifted persons in verse 11 have only one ministry, that is, to minister Christ for the building up of the Body of Christ; this is the unique ministry in the New Testament economy—2 Cor. 4:1; 1 Tim. 1:12.
三 成全圣徒，目的是为着职事的工作；而职事的工作，目的是为着建造基督的身体─弗四12、16。
C. The perfecting of the saints is unto the work of the ministry, and the work of the ministry is unto the building up of the Body of Christ—Eph. 4:12, 16.
四 “这是主的恢复，这是我们的托付，这是我们的负担，也是我们的职事。我们能有分于这职事是何等的蒙福！”─李常受文集一九七八年第三册，真理信息，四四四页
D. "This is the Lord's recovery, this is our commission, this is our burden, and this is our ministry. How blessed we are to have a part in this ministry!"—The Collected Works of Witness Lee, 1978,vol. 3, "Truth Messages," p. 323.
