肆　身体的功用乃是彰显基督─弗一22~23：
IV.　The function of the Body is to express Christ—Eph. 1:22-23:
一　如宇宙一般大的基督，需要一个身体作祂的丰满，祂的彰显─弗一22~23：
A.　The universally great Christ needs a Body to be His fullness, His expression—Eph. 1:22-23:
1　基督的丰满是由享受基督的丰富所产生的─弗三8。
1.　The fullness of Christ issues from the enjoyment of the riches of Christ—Eph. 3:8.
2　我们借着享受基督的丰富，就成为祂的丰满而彰显祂：
2.　Through the enjoyment of Christ's riches, we become His fullness to express Him:
a　基督的丰满，乃是我们所经历、并构成到我们里面的基督。
a.　The fullness of Christ is Christ experienced by us and constituted into us.
b　客观的丰富成了主观的丰满，而这丰满就是基督的身体。
b.　The objective riches become the subjective fullness, and this fullness is the Body of Christ.
二　基督的身体，乃是基督在地上的延展和继续。
B.　The Body of Christ is the extension and continuation of Christ on earth.
三　我们信徒在基督身体里彼此互为肢体的目的，乃是叫我们活基督，并在一起彰显祂─罗十二5。
C.　The purpose of us believers being members one of another in the Body of Christ is that we would live Christ and express Him together—Rom. 12:5.
伍　基督身体的实际乃是一班蒙神救赎，被神作成神，作成神人的人，他们不凭自己活着，乃凭另一个生命活着，这生命就是经过过程并终极完成的三一神─加二20，腓一20~21上，三10：
V.　The reality of the Body of Christ is a group of God's redeemed who have been made God, the God-men, by God and who live not by themselves but by another life, which is the processed and consummated Triune God—Gal. 2:20; Phil. 1:19-21a; 3:10:
一　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，却不凭他们自己的生命活着，乃凭经过过程并终极完成之三一神的生命活着，祂的属性借着他们的美德彰显出来─腓一19~21上。
A.　The reality of the Body of Christ is a corporate living by the perfected God-men, who are genuine men but who do not live by their own life but by the life of the processed and consummated Triune God, whose attributes are expressed through their virtues—Phil. 1:19-21a.
二　基督身体的实际乃是所有借着人性调神性，神性调人性，而与神联结、调和并构成在一起之神人所过的生活。
B.　The reality of the Body of Christ is a living by all the God-men, united, mingled, and constituted together with God by mingling humanity with divinity and mingling divinity with humanity.
三　基督身体的实际，乃是一种借着复活的大能模成基督之死的团体生活─腓三10。
C.　The reality of the Body of Christ is a corporate living of the conformity to the death of Christ through the power of resurrection—Phil. 3:10.
陆　基督的身体乃是在基督复活的生命里─约十一25，徒二24，启一18，二8，腓三10：
VI.　The Body of Christ is in the resurrection life of Christ—John 11:25; Acts 2:24; Rev. 1:18; 2:8; Phil. 3:10:
一　基督身体的实际，要求信徒完全在基督复活的生命里。
A.　The reality of the Body of Christ requires the believers to be absolutely in the resurrection life of Christ.
二　在复活里的意思是，我们天然的生命被钉死，并且我们这人里神所造的部分在复活里被拔高，在复活里与基督成为一─罗六4~5：
B.　To be in resurrection means that our natural life is crucified and that the God-created part of our being is uplifted in resurrection to be one with Christ in resurrection—Rom. 6:4-6:
1　神的救恩之路是借着基督的十字架了结我们，并借着祂生命的灵使我们复活。
1.　God's way of salvation is to terminate us by the cross of Christ and to resurrect us by His Spirit of life.
2　我们不是独自经历钉死、埋葬和复活，乃是在基督里与祂一同经历─罗六4~6，加二20上，弗二6。
2.　We do not experience crucifixion, burial, and resurrection alone, but experience them with Christ by being in Him—Rom. 6:4-6; Gal. 2:20a; Eph. 2:6.
三　当我们不凭自己天然的生命活着，乃凭我们里面的神圣生命活着，我们就是在复活里;这个所产生的结果就是基督的身体─加二20上，罗八10，6，11，十二4~5。
C.　When we live not by our natural life but by the divine life within us, we are in resurrection; the issue of this is the Body of Christ—Gal. 2:20a; Rom. 8:10, 6, 11; 12:4-5.
柒　基督的身体乃是新造─加六15，林后五17，弗二15，四24：
VII.　The Body of Christ is a new creation—Gal. 6:15; 2 Cor. 5:17; Eph. 2:15; 4:24:
一　神在祂的经纶里，渴望从旧造里产生出新造;因此，我们这些信徒必须彻底并完全的被更新，使我们能成为属于神并为着神的新造─罗十二2，林后四16，弗四23~24：
A.　God in His economy desires to produce a new creation out of the old creation; therefore, as believers we must be thoroughly and absolutely renewed so that we may be the new creation of God and for God—Rom. 12:2; 2 Cor. 4:16; Eph. 4:23-24:
1　旧造是我们在亚当里的旧人，是我们与生俱来天然的人，没有神的生命和神的性情─弗四22。
1.　The old creation is our old man in Adam, our natural being by birth, without God's life and nature.
2　新造是在基督里的新人，是我们由那灵重生的人，有神的生命和神的性情作到其中，有基督为基其构成万分，成为新的构成─弗四24，约三6，36，彼后一4，西三10~11。
2.　The new creation is the new man in Christ, our being that is regenerated by the Spirit, having God's life and nature wrought into it, having Christ as its constituent, and having become a new constitution—Eph. 4:24; John 3:6, 36; 2 Pet. 1:4; Col. 3:10-11.
3　新造乃是由旧造经过死与复活所完成的。
3.　The new creation is accomplished by the old creation passing through death and resurrection.
二　基督的身体与旧造无分无关，并且用不着旧造的东西，惟独取用出自基督的一切。
B.　The Body of Christ has nothing to do with the old creation and has no use for anything from the old creation but takes only that which issues from Christ.
三　我们必须从旧造的范围迁到新造的范围里而成为新人，好完成神永远的定旨，就是终极完成新耶路撒冷─林后五17，弗四24，西三10，启二一2。
C.　We need to be transferred from the realm of the old creation into the realm of the new creation to be the new man to fulfill God's eternal purpose—to consummate the New Jerusalem—2 Cor. 5:17; Eph. 4:24; Col. 3:10; Rev. 21:2.
捌　十字架的工作总结于身体，并引我们进入身体─弗二16：
VIII.　The work of the cross consummates with the Body and ushers us into the Body—Eph. 2:16:
一　十字架的工作远及于基督的身体，并总结于身体：
A.　The work of the cross goes as far as the Body of Christ and consummates with the Body:
1　认识十字架，带我们认识基督的身体。
1.　The knowledge of the cross brings us to the knowledge of the Body of Christ.
2　任何事物若不是基督的一部分，都会拦阻我们里面对基督身体的认识。
2.　Anything that is not a part of Christ frustrates our inward knowledge of the Body of Christ.
二　十字架领我们到身体，十字架也在身体的范围里运行。
B.　The cross leads us to the Body, and the cross operates in the sphere of the Body.
三　惟有当我们己的生命完全被十字架对付时，我们才能摸着身体生活的实际，而得以认识身体─太十六24~25，罗八13，十二4~5。
C.　Only when our self life has been utterly dealt with by the cross are we able to touch the reality of the life of the Body and come to know the Body—Matt. 16:24-25; Rom. 8:13; 12:4-5.
