壹　我们需要神经纶的异象─弗二7~23：
I.　We need a vision of God's economy—Eph. 1:17-23:
一　神的经纶就是神的计划，神的行政，乃是要为祂的儿子创造、构成、产生一个身体：
A.　God's economy as God's plan, His administration, is to create, to constitute, and to produce a Body for His Son:
1　这是神经纶的主要目的。

3　严格说来，神所寻求的乃是要为基督得着一个身体。
3.　Strictly speaking, what God is seeking after is a Body for Christ.

二　恢复是为着身体，不是为着任何个人，或仅仅为着任何个别的地方召会─林前十二14。
B.　The recovery is for the Body, not for any individual or merely for any individual local church—1 Cor. 12:14; Eph. 2:21-22.
三　一切的难处都是由于一件事：没有看见身体、不认识身体、不顾到身体─林前十二27。
C.　All the problems are due to one thing: not seeing the Body, not knowing the Body and not caring for the Body—1 Cor. 12:27.
四　最大的难处，惟一的难处，就是不认识身体，不顾到身体─林前十二25。

六　我们如何行为举止，乃在于我们看见身体的程度。
F.　How we behave ourselves depends upon the degree of our seeing the Body.

二　我们都必须回到真理上，而实行真理就是顾到身体。

七　我们在这里乃是为着身体─林前十二12：
G.　We are here for the Body—1 Cor. 12:12:
1　没有身体作后盾，没有主的恢复作后盾，我们就没有路实行地方召会。
1.　Without the backing of the Body, without the backing of the recovery, we have no way to practice the local churches.
2　我们若实行地方召会生活，却忽略了身体的观点，我们的地方召会就成了地方宗派。

3　我们必须彼此服从，以维持身体里良好的次序。
3.　We need to maintain a good order in the Body by being subject to one another:

五　主的恢复就是恢复基督身体的一。
E.　The Lord's recovery is the recovery of the oneness of the Body of Christ.
