III.　Paul regarded all the believers in Christ as plants which need growth—3:6-7:
一　在一节保罗说到哥林多的信徒是在基督里的婴孩;他们需要在生命里长大成熟，而完全长成─二6，西一28。
A.　In verse 1 Paul refers to the believers at Corinth as infants in Christ; their need was to grow in life to maturity, to be full-grown—2:6; Col. 1:28.
二　分裂和缺少建造的原因，乃是信徒留在他们天然的生命和天然的所是里─林前一12~13，三3~4，二14。

a.　In 1 Corinthians Paul is seeking to develop and cultivate the initial gifts received by the believers.
b　今天我们在主的恢复里所需要的，以及主在我们中间所寻求的，乃是更多在生命里的长大，更多初期恩赐的发展。

2　我们要有真正的建造，就需要借着我们被消减并借着基督在我们里面扩增而长大─太十六24，弗三17。
2.　In order to have the genuine building, we need to grow by having ourselves reduced and by having Christ increased within us—Matt. 16:24; Eph. 3:17.
