拾叁　身体的供应乃是复合的膏油（圣膏油）所预表耶稣基督之灵全备的供应─腓一19~21上，出三十23~25：
XIII.　The supply of the Body is the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, typified by the compound ointment, the holy anointing oil—Phil. 1:19-21a; Exo. 30:23-25:
一　复合的灵是在身体里，也是为着身体，并为着那建造身体的祭司事奉─出三十26~31，罗十五16，彼前二5，9。
A.　The compound Spirit is in and for the Body and for the priestly service that builds up the Body—Exo. 30:26-31; Rom. 15:16; 1 Pet. 2:5, 9.
二　按照诗篇一百三十三篇，弟兄们在一里同居，有无法估量的美与善，这好比那复合、贵重的膏油─弗四3。
B.　According to Psalm 133, the inestimable goodness and pleasantness of brothers dwelling together in oneness is likened to the compound precious ointment—Eph. 4:3.
三　我们是借着肢体的代祷和交通，接受那灵的供应：
C.　We receive the supply of the Spirit by the intercession and fellowship of the members:
1　当我们觉得枯干、碰壁的时候，我们需要弟兄姐妹为我们代祷，那种情形才可以过去─腓一19，帖前五25，伯四二8~10。
1.　When we are dry and have no way to go on, we need other brothers and sisters to intercede for us before we can get through—Phil. 1:19; 1 Thes. 5:25; Job 42:8-10.
2　我们需要将自己祷告到神里面，以接受赐生生命的灵作我们的供应，好喂养我们自己，并喂养所有在我们照顾之下的人，使身体得着建造─路十一1~13。
2.　We need to pray ourselves into God to receive the life-giving Spirit as our supply to feed ourselves and all those under our care for the building up of the Body—Luke 11:1-13.
3　我们若没有身体的供应，就不能活;因此，我们必须一直应用身体的交通─帖前三8，林前十16下，约壹一3。
3.　We cannot live without the supply of the Body; therefore, we must constantly avail ourselves of the fellowship of the Body—1 Thes. 3:8; 1 Cor. 10:16b; 1 John 1:3.
4　无论我们的情形怎样，只要我们活在身体里，就能得着身体的供应。
4.　As long as we live in the Body, we will receive the supply of the Body, no matter what our condition is.
5　人要看见光，就必须进入召会，就是圣所─诗七三16~17，太五14，启一20。
5.　If a man wants to see light, he has to enter the church, the sanctuary—Psa. 73:16-17; Matt. 5:14; Rev. 1:20.
6　借着肢体间彼此的倚靠，整个身体就得着建造─林前十六18，弗四16。
6.　The whole Body is built up through the interdependence among the members—1 Cor. 16:18; Eph. 4:16.
拾肆　在身体里不能有独立或个人主义，因为我们是肢体，而肢体无法离开身体而生活─林前十二27，罗十二5，弗五30：
XIV.　In the Body there can be no independence or individualism, for we are members, and members cannot live in detachment from the Body—1 Cor. 12:27; Rom. 12:5; Eph. 5:30:
一　每一个信徒都是基督身体的肢体，而每一个肢体都是不可少的─林前十二15，21，罗十二3。
A.　Every believer is a member of the Body of Christ, and every member is indispensable—1 Cor. 12:15, 21; Rom. 12:3.
二　“你若真看见你在基督身体上的地位，你就会像是第二次得救一样”（基督的奥秘，一四页）─约一50~51，创二八17，提前三15。
B.　“If we truly see our portion in the Body, it will be as though we were saved a second time” (W. Nee, The Mystery of Christ, p. 136)—John 1:50-51; Gen. 28:17; 1 Tim. 3:15.
三　那些看见自己是肢体的人，定规宝爱身体，看重其他的肢体─林前十二23~24，腓二29，林前十六18，士九9。
C.　Those who see that they are members of the Body treasure the Body and honor the other members—1 Cor. 12:23-24; Phil. 2:29; 1 Cor. 16:18; Judg. 9:9.
四　我们一有身体的启示，就有身体的感觉;一有身体的感觉，一切个人的想法和行动就除去了：
D.　Wherever there is Body-revelation, there is Body-consciousness, and wherever there is Body-consciousness, individualistic thought and action are ruled out:
1　如果我们要认识身体，我们不但要蒙拯救脱离犯罪与天然的生命，更要蒙拯救脱离个人的生命。
1.　If we want to know the Body, we need deliverance not only from our sinful life and our natural life but also from our individualistic life.
2　父如何与世界相对，圣灵如何与肉体相对，主如何与魔鬼相对，照样，身体也与个人相对。
2.　Just as the Father is versus the world, the Spirit is versus the flesh, and the Lord is versus the devil, so also the Body is versus the individual.
3　我们如何不能向头独立，照样也不能向身体独立。
3.　Just as we cannot be independent from the Head, we cannot be independent from the Body.
4　个人主义在神眼中是可恨的：
4.　Individualism is hateful in the sight of God:
a　身体的仇敌就己，那独立的“我”─太十六21~26。
a.　The enemy of the Body is the self, the independent “I,” the independent “me”—Matt. 16:21-26.
b　我们若要在身体里被建造，己就必须被定罪、否认、拒绝并撇弃。
b.　If we would be built up in the Body, the self must be condemned, denied, rejected, and renounced.
c　我们不仅该倚靠神，也该倚靠身体，倚靠弟兄姐妹─出十七11~13，徒九25，林后十一33。
c.　We should be dependent not only on God, but also on the Body, on the brothers and sisters—Exo. 17:11-13; Acts 9:25; 2 Cor. 11:33.
5　我不知道的，身体里别的肢体知道;我不能看见的，身体里别的肢体能看见;我不能作的，身体里的别的肢体能作。
5.　What I do not know, another member of the Body will know; what I cannot see, another member of the Body will see; what I cannot do, another member of the Body will do.
6　我们若拒绝在身体里同作肢体者的帮助，就是拒绝基督的帮助─林前十二12。
6.　If we refuse the help of our fellow-members, we are refusing the help of Christ—1 Cor. 12:12.
7　凡是单独的基督徒，迟早都要变得枯干。
7.　Sooner or later all individualistic Christians will dry up.
拾伍　我们若活在身体里，就会经历身体的保护：
XV.　If we live in the Body, we will experience the protection of the Body:
一　身体对于每一肢体都有保护─太十六18。
A.　The Body renders protection to every member—Matt. 16:18.
二　基督的身体乃是穿戴神全副的军装─弗六11。
B.　The Body of Christ puts on the whole armor of God—Eph. 6:11.
三　属灵争战的原则就在这里─一人追赶千人，二人使万人逃跑─申三二30，传四9~12，罗十六20。
C.　Spiritual warfare is in this principle—one will chase a thousand and two will put ten thousand to flight (Deut. 32:30; Eccl. 4:9-12; Rom. 16:20.
四　孤立的个人很容易受欺骗，为此我们也需要身体的覆庇─腓三3，徒二一4，11~12。
D.　An isolated individual is prone to be deceived, so we need the covering of the Body for this as well—Phil. 3:3; Acts 21:4, 11-12.
五　我们都必须看见身体覆庇的实际，并藏在身体的覆庇底下，接受身体的保护。
E.　We all must see the reality of Body's protection, hide under its protection, and accept the safeguard.
拾陆　作为基督身体的肢体，我们必须使自己受别的肢体限制，不越过我们的度量：
XVI.　As members of the Body, we must allow ourselves to be limited by the other members, not going beyond our measure:
一　对于身体的长大和发展，有一个基本的要求，就是我们要知道自己的度量，并且不越过这度量─弗四7，16。
A.　A basic requirement for the growth and development of the Body is that we recognize our measure and not go beyond it—Eph. 4:7, 16.
二　元首把我们安排在身体的特别地位，也指派我们特别的功用─林前十二18。
B.　The Head sets us in our special place in the Body and points us to our special function—1 Cor. 12:18.
三　我们该像保罗一样，照着神所量给我们的度量行动、行事，留在神的尺度、神的度量的限制之内─林后十13。
C.　Like Paul we should move and act according to how much God has measured to us, staying within the limits of God's ruling, God's measuring—2 Cor. 10:13.
