壹　基督与召会乃是极大的奥秘─弗五32，参提前三15~16上：
I.　Christ and the church are a great mystery—Eph. 5:32; cf. 1 Tim. 3:15-16a:
一　神是个奥秘;基督是神具体的表现彰显神，所以是神的奥秘─西二2。
A.　God is a mystery, and Christ, as the embodiment of God to express Him is the mystery of God—Col. 2:2.

C.　Christ and the church as one spirit (1 Cor. 6:17), typified by a husband and wife as one flesh (Eph. 5:29-31), are the great mystery.

A.　Adam is a type of God in Christ as our Husband, who is seeking a wife for Himself—Rom. 5:14; John 3:29; Matt. 9:14-15; 2 Cor. 11:2:

二　以弗所五章二十五至二十七节，启示在三个阶段里的基督，使召会得以产生并建造，成为祂的新妇;这在预表一面可见于创世记二章十八至二十五节里的亚当和夏娃：
B.　Ephesians 5:25-27 reveals Christ in three stages so that the church may be produced and built up to become His bride; this is seen typologically with Adam and Eve in Genesis 2:18-25:

b　神使亚当沉睡;他的睡预表基督的死，（创二21，林前十五18，帖前四13~16，约十一11~14，）好借着完成神法理的救赎，产生召会;这法理的救赎包括：─引用经文
b.　God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam; his sleep is a type of Christ's death (Gen. 2:21; 1 Cor. 15:18; 1 Thes. 4:13-16; John 11:11-14) for producing the church through the accomplishment of God's judicial redemption, which includes:

a　主被扎的肋旁，是亚当那裂开产生夏娃的肋旁所预表的─创二21~22，约十九34：
a.　The Lord's pierced side was prefigured by Adam's opened side, out from which Eve was produced—Gen. 2:22; John 19:34:
（一）　主肋旁所流出的血，是为着买召会;从祂肋旁所流出的水，是祂神圣生命的流，产生、建造、并预备召会作祂的新妇─亚十三1。
(1).　The blood out of the Lord's side was for purchasing the church; the water out of His side is the flow of His divine life, which produces, builds up, and prepares the church to be His bride—Zech. 13:1.
（二）　从亚当肋旁取出的肋骨，预表不能毁坏、复活的生命，而这生命是由基督肋旁所流出的水所表征─出十七6，林前十4，约十九31~33。

(4).　This life flows within us, transforms us, and builds us up to be the bride of Christ, the New Jerusalem as the ultimate Eve—Rev. 21:2.
b　召会出自基督，如同夏娃出自亚当;（创二21~22;）召会与基督有同一的生命和性情，并作祂的配偶，与祂成为一，如同夏娃与亚当成为一体（24）：─引用经文
b.　The church comes out of Christ, as Eve came out of Adam (Gen. 2:21-22); it has the same life and nature as Christ and becomes one with Him as His counterpart, even as Eve became one flesh with Adam (v. 24):
（一）　惟有出自亚当的，才能归给亚当作他的配偶;照样，惟有出自基督的，才能归给基督作祂的新妇─林前十二12，西三10~11。
(1).　Only that which came out of Adam could return to Adam as his counterpart; in like manner, only that which comes out of Christ can return to Christ to be His bride—1 Cor. 12:12; Col. 3:10-11.
（二）　召会是纯粹出自基督的产品;召会是基督的一部分，一点不差的就是基督自己─参弗五28~30。
(2).　The church is a pure product out of Christ; the church is a part of Christ and is nothing less than Christ Himself—cf. Eph. 5;28-30.

c.　The church is being beautified through the process of sanctification by Christ as the life-giving Spirit cleansing us by the washing of the water as the flowing life of God in the word—v. 26:
（一）　被生命之水的洗涤所洁净，乃是在基督的话里，这指明在基督的话里有生命的水。
(1).　The cleansing by the washing of the water of life is in the word of Christ; this indicates that in the word of Christ is the water of life.
（二）　二十六节里的话，希腊原文不是logos，娄格斯，常时的话，乃是rhema，雷玛，指实时的话，就是主现在对我们所说的话。
(2).　The Greek word rendered "word" in verse 26 is not logos, the constant word, but rhema, which denotes the instant word, the word the Lord presently speaks to us.
（三）　基督的说话就是那灵，就是赐生命之灵的同在─约六63，弗六17。
(3).　Christ's speaking is the Spirit; it is the very presence of the life-giving Spirit—John 6:63; Eph. 6:17.
（四）　内住的基督作为赐生命的灵，总是说实时、现时、活的话，新陈代谢的洁除老旧的，并以新的顶替，而产生内里的变化。
(4).　The indwelling Christ as the life-giving Spirit is always speaking an instant, present, living word to metabolically cleanse away the old and replace it with the new, causing an inward transformation.
（五）　借着这样洗涤的过程，我们就被基督浸透，并被基督变化，而成为祂圣别、美丽、彰显神的新妇，就是没有瑕疵或缺点的新妇─启十九7，参歌六13，八13~14。
(5).　Through such a washing process, we are saturated with Christ and transformed by Christ to be His holy, beautiful, God-expressing bride, a bride without blemish or imperfection—Rev. 19:7; cf. S. S. 6:13; 8:13-14.
3　在将来，基督是圣别的新郎，要把我们献给祂自己，作祂的配偶，为着祂的婚娶，如同神把夏娃摆给亚当，作亚当的配偶，为着他的婚娶─弗五27，31~32，创二22~24，启十九7~9：
3.　In the future Christ as the holy Bridegroom will present us to Himself as His counterpart for His marriage just as God presented Eve to Adam as his counterpart for his marriage—Gen. 2:22-24; Eph. 5:27, 31-32; Rev. 19:7-9:
a　以弗所五章二十七节启示新妇的美丽，说到基督要把召会“献给自己，作荣耀的召会，没有斑点、皱纹、或任何这类的病，好使她成为圣别、没有瑕疵”。
a.　Ephesians 5:27 reveals the beauty of the bride, saying that Christ will "present the church to Himself glorious, not having spot or wrinkle or any such things, but that she would be holy and without blemish":
b　新妇的美丽来自这位作到召会里，然后从召会彰显出来的基督─启十九7。
