玖　我们若要领会并进入身体的生命，就必须认识头的权柄─西二19，弗四15，五23，一22，10：
IX.　If we would understand and enter into the life of the Body, we must know the authority of the Head—Col. 2:19; Eph. 4:15; 5:23; 1:22, 10:
一　惟独基督是头，惟独祂有权柄指挥身体肢体的行动：
A.　Only Christ is the Head, and only He has the authority to direct the moves of the members of the Body:
1　基督作头，意识就是祂在身体上是有权柄的─西一18，二19。
1.　For Christ to be the Head means that He has the authority in the Body—Col. 1:18; 2:19.
2　我们若要活在身体里，就必须学习服从基督的权柄─太二八18~20。
2.　If we desire to live in the Body, we must learn to submit to the authority of Christ—Matt. 28:18-20.
二　我们若要有身体的生活，无论思想什么、感觉什么、或作什么，就都必须受基督这头的支配：
B.　If we would have the Body life, whatever we think, feel, and do must be under the control of the Head:
1　我们应当以头为我们的生命，为我们全人的中心─西三4，11。
3.　We should take the Head as our life and as the center of our whole being—Col. 3:4, 11.
2　我们应当像保罗一样顾到基督的身体，以头的感觉为我们自己的感觉─腓一8。
4.　Like Paul, we should take care of the Body of Christ by taking the feeling of the Head as our own feeling—Phil. 1:8.
3　我们这些作肢体的，若在凡事上都有头的感觉，并顾到身体，我们就会在我们的心思、意念、言语和行动上，都以身体为是─西三15~16。
5.　If we as members have the feeling of the Head in everything and care for the Body, we will take the Body as the rule in our mind, thoughts, words, and actions—Col. 3:15-16.
拾　属灵乃是身体的事─弗四16：
X.　Spirituality is a Body matter—Eph. 4:16:
一　照新约的启示看，一个真正摸着神心坎，作神眼中得胜者的，乃是活在身体里，并实行身体的人─罗十二4~5：
A.　According to the revelation of the New Testament, a person who truly touches God's heart and is an overcomer in the eyes of God is one who is living in the Body and practicing the Body—Rom. 12:4-5:
1　他不是个人属灵，也不是个人得胜。
1.　He is not spiritual individually and is not overcoming individually.
2　他清楚的领会，他是身体里的一个肢体，而不是一个完整的单位。
2.　He understands clearly that he is a member of the Body, not a complete unit.
二　神不是要得着一群属灵、不犯罪的人，乃是要得着一个身体─弗二16：
B.　God is not after a group of spiritual or sinless people—He is after a Body—Eph. 2:16:
1　最要紧的乃是我们有没有活在身体里。
1.　The most important thing is whether or not we are living in the Body.
2　我们要追求属灵，就必须是在身体里：
2.　In order to seek after spirituality, we must be in the Body:
a　神没有意思要我们个人的属灵。
a.　God never intended that we would be individually spiritual.
b　个人的属灵损伤并破坏召会的建造。
b.　Individual spirituality spoils and damages the building of the church.
c　我们若看见神最终的目的是要得着身体作盛装基督的团体器皿，我们就会向主祷告，求祂救我们脱离个人的属灵。
c.　If we see that God's ultimate intention is to have the Body as a corporate vessel to contain Christ, we will pray that the Lord will save us from our individual spirituality.
三　基督徒的生活乃是团体的，身体的，而不是个人的─弗三6：
C.　The Christian living is corporate and of the Body; it is not individualistic—Eph. 3:6:
1　我们若看见了身体，就会体会到，没有身体我们就不能生活，没有身体我们就不能事奉，我们也不能在身体之外过属灵的生活。
1.　If we have seen the Body, we will realize that we cannot live without the Body, that we cannot serve without the Body, and that we cannot have a spiritual life outside the Body.
2　我们看见身体的最有力明证，乃是我们不再是个人的─林前十二12，14，21~22：
2.　The strongest proof that we have seen the Body is that we can no longer be individualistic—1 Cor. 12:12, 14, 21-22:
a　我们一看见了身体，我们的生活和工作就不再是个人的。
a.　As soon as we see the Body, our life and work as individuals cease.
b　凡我们所有的，都在身体里，借着身体，并为着身体;没有一事是为着个人的。
b.　Everything we have is in the Body, through the Body, and for the Body; nothing is for the individual.
拾壹　我们必须顾到身体的感觉和身体的平安─弗四3，西三15，弗二14~16：
XI.　We need to care for the feeling of the Body and the peace of the Body—Eph. 4:3; Col. 3:15; Eph. 2:14-16:
一　我们既是基督身体上的肢体，就该对身体有感觉。
A.　Since we are members of the Body of Christ, we should have a feeling for the Body.
二　我们要有身体的生活，就必须顾到同作肢体的，满有对身体的感觉。
B.　In order for us to have the Body life, we must care for our fellow members and must be full of feeling for the Body.
三　我们必须看见，凡我们所作的都与身体有关，我们不该作任何不顾到身体的事。
C.　We need to realize that whatever we do involves the Body, and we should not do anything without taking care of the Body.
四　对身体的感觉是非常宝贵的，与我们的心理有密切的关系，而心理的作用就是对事情的理解─罗十二3：
D.　The feeling for the Body is very precious, and it is closely related to one's frame of mind, that is, to one's perception of things—Rom. 12:3:
1　我们对基督身体的理解不够，心理就不对，就无法产生对基督身体的共识─罗十二2~5，弗四22~24。
1.　If we do not have an adequate understanding of the Body of Christ, our frame of mind is not proper, and we will not be able to have the common recognition of the Body of Christ
2　我们要适合于基督身体的建造，并对基督的身体有正确的感觉，我们就必须心思更新而变化─罗十二2，5。
2.　If we would be suitable for the building up of the Body of Christ and have the proper feeling for the Body of Christ, we need to be transformed by the renewing of the mind—Rom. 12:2, 5.
拾贰　我们必须有身体的感觉，就是要有身体感─林前十二26~27，罗十二15，弗四16，二21~22：
XII.　We need to have the consciousness of the Body, a Body- consciousness—1 Cor. 12:26-27; Rom. 12:5; Eph. 4:16; 2:21-22:
一　为了要与身体中其他的肢体一同生活并行动，我们必须有身体的感觉。
A.　In order to live and move with other members of the Body, we need to have the consciousness of the Body.
二　我们越享受歌罗西书中所启示包罗万有的基督，就越在经历上领会，我们所享受的基督乃是身体的头，这样的领会使我们对身体有感觉，并使我们宝爱身体上所有的肢体─西一18，二19，三12~14。
B.　The more we enjoy the all-inclusive Christ revealed in Colossians, the more we will realize experientially that the Christ whom we enjoy is the Head of the Body, and this realization will make us conscious of the Body and cause us to love all the members of the Body—Col. 1:18; 2:19; 3:12-14.
三　为了主在祂的恢复中，在地方一面和宇宙一面的行动，我们都必须同心合意，有身体的感觉─徒一14，二46，四24，十五25，罗十五6。
C.　For the Lord's move in His recovery both locally and universally, we all need to be Body-conscious in one accord—Acts 1:14; 2:46; 4:24; 15:25; Rom. 15:6.
