第五篇　新约职事的素质与荣光
Message Five The Essence and Glory of the New Covenant Ministry
读经：林后三7~11，18，四4，6
Scripture Reading: 2 Cor. 3:7-11, 18; 4:4, 6
壹　新约的职事有一种素质，这种素质有两方面─那灵的职事和义的职事─林后三8~9：
I.　The new covenant ministry has an essence in two aspects—the ministry of the Spirit and the ministry of righteousness—2 Cor. 3:8-9:
一　新约的职事乃是赐人生命之灵的职事，（8，6，）因为新约带进神的义，叫人得生命;（罗五18，21;）因此，新约的职事也是义的职事。─引用经文
A.　The ministry of the new covenant is a ministry of the Spirit who gives life (vv. 8, 6), because the new covenant brings in God's righteousness unto life (Rom. 5:18, 21); hence, the new covenant ministry is also a ministry of righteousness.
二　旧约的职事怎样是属死的职事和定罪的职事，新约的职事也照样是那灵的职事和称义的职事;死与具体化于那灵的生命相对，而定罪与称义相对。
B.　As the old covenant ministry was of death and condemnation, so the new covenant ministry is of the Spirit and of righteousness; death is versus life, which is embodied in the Spirit, and condemnation is versus righteousness.
三　那灵和义是新约职事写到我们里面之素质的两方面;这灵与这义就是新约职事的素质─林后三8~9。
C.　The Spirit and righteousness are the two aspects of an essence which is inscribed into us by the ministry of the new covenant; this Spirit and this righteousness are the essence of the new covenant ministry—2 Cor. 3:8-9.
四　保罗在林后三章把那灵看作是用来书写基督之信的素质─2~3节：
D.　Paul's view of the Spirit in 2 Corinthians 3 is that of an essence used for inscribing letters of Christ—vv. 2-3:
1　正如三节中的“用”这个字所指明的，属灵的墨，就是活神的灵，乃是用来书写的素质。
1.　As indicated by with in verse 3, the spiritual ink, the Spirit of the living God, is an essence used in the writing.
2　一种神圣的素质已经写到我们里面;这种素质就是那灵：
2.　A divine essence has been written into our being, and this essence is the Spirit:
a　书写到圣徒里面所需要的独一素质，就是经过过程的三一神，成了包罗万有、赐生命的灵。
a.　The unique essence which needs to be inscribed into the saints is the processed Triune God as the all-inclusive life-giving Spirit.
b　新约的职事把那灵书写到我们里面，也就是说，这职事把神的素质更多加到我们里面。
b.　The new covenant ministry inscribes the Spirit into us, that is, this ministry adds more of the essence of God into us.
c　写到我们里面之那灵的素质乃是生命─6节，四12。
c.　The essence of the Spirit inscribed into us is life—v. 6; 4:12.
五　基于林后三章的那灵乃是素质的这个原则，义也是素质─9节，五21。
E.　Based upon the principle that the Spirit in 2 Corinthians 3 is an essence, righteousness is also an essence—v.　9; 5:21.
六　新约的职事把一种素质写到我们里面，这素质有内在与外在两方面;内在一面是活的灵在我们里面运行，外在一面是义作我们的彰显─三3，8~9。
F.　The ministry of the new covenant inscribes an essence into our being, an essence that has an inner aspect and an outer aspect; the inner aspect is the living Spirit moving in us, and the outer aspect is righteousness as our expression—3:3, 8-9.
七　新约职事的目标就是供应基督在里面作赐生命的灵，并在外面作活的义。
G.　The goal of the new covenant ministry is to minister Christ as the life-giving Spirit inwardly and as the living righteousness outwardly.
八　那灵与义都和我们彰显神的形像有关;（18;）原因是那灵与义都是神自己：─引用经文
H.　The Spirit and righteousness are both related to our expressing the image of God (v. 18); the reason for this is that the Spirit and righteousness are both God Himself:
1　圣经中心的异象，乃是说到神的形像借着神的生命得彰显─创一26，二9，启四3，二一10~11，二二1~2，14。
1.　The central vision of the Bible is related to the image of God expressed by the life of God—Gen. 1:26; 2:9; Rev. 4:3; 21:10-11; 22:1-2, 14.
2　神是灵，是在我们里面运行的本质，也是活在我们里面的素质;因为借着新约的职事，祂自己已经加到我们这人里面。
2.　God as the Spirit is moving in us as a substance and living in us as an essence, for He Himself has been added into our being by the new covenant ministry.
3　我们在外面所彰显的义，也是神自己，因为我们有神作我们的义，而这义成了我们的外表、彰显。
3.　The righteousness we express outwardly is also God Himself, for we have God as our righteousness, and this righteousness becomes our appearance, our expression.
4　义乃是那活在我们里面，作为赐生命之灵的基督外面的彰显：
4.　Righteousness is the outward expression of the Christ who lives in us as the life-giving Spirit:
a　这义乃是神的形像─弗四24，西三10。
a.　This righteousness is God's image—Eph. 4:24; Col. 3:10.
b　新约的职事就是主形像的职事─林后三9，18。
b.　The new covenant ministry is a ministry of the Lord's image—2 Cor. 3:9, 18.
九　说新约的职事是那灵与义的职事，就等于说新约的职事是神的职事─8~9节：
I.　To say that the ministry of the new covenant is a ministry of the Spirit and of righteousness is equal to saying that the new covenant ministry is a ministry of God— vv. 8-9:
1　那灵是神在我们里面生活、运行、行动，而义是神彰显出来，成为我们外面的表现。
1.　The Spirit is God within us living, moving, and acting, and righteousness is God expressed to become our appearance outwardly.
2　里面的那灵与外面的义既然都是神自己，新约的职事，那灵和义的职事，也就是神的职事。
2.　Since the Spirit inwardly and the righteousness outwardly are God Himself, the ministry of the new covenant, a ministry of the Spirit and of righteousness, is a ministry of God.
贰　旧约的职事是带着荣光立的，也是经过荣光的，而新约的职事是在荣光里的，也是充盈着荣光的─7~11节：
II.　Whereas the old covenant ministry came about in glory and was through glory, the new covenant ministry is in glory and abounds in glory—vv. 7-11:
一　三章七至十一节表明摩西的职事，旧约的职事，就是定罪和属死的职事，其荣光是低下的;而使徒的职事，就是义和那灵的职事，其荣光是卓越的：
A.　In 3:7-11 we see the inferiority of the glory of the Mosaic ministry, the ministry of the old covenant, a ministry of condemnation and death, and the superiority of the apostolic ministry, a ministry of righteousness and the Spirit:
1　新约职事的荣光是指显在基督面上之神的荣耀，这荣光就是神自己，照在使徒心里─8节，四6。
1.　The glory of the new covenant ministry is the glory of God manifested in the face of Christ, which is God shining Himself in the hearts of the apostles—v. 8; 4:6.
2　旧约的职事虽然得着荣光，但新约的职事有荣光的本身，甚至有超越的荣光─三10。
2.　With the old covenant ministry, there was glorif ication; with the new covenant ministry, there is the glory itself, even the surpassing glory—3:10.
3　使徒新约的职事不但有荣光，更充盈着神的荣光─9节。
3.　The apostolic ministry of the new covenant not only has glory but also abounds with the glory of God—v. 9.
4　新约职事的荣光不是仅仅临到我们，乃是留在我们里面，并从我们里面照耀出来;这荣光先来充满我们、渗透我们、饱和我们、浸润我们、并浸透我们，然后再从我们里面照耀出来─四4，6，三18。
4.　The glory of the new covenant ministry does not come to visit us—it comes to remain in us and to shine out from within our being; this glory comes f irst to invade, pervade, permeate, soak, and saturate us and then to shine forth from within us—4:4, 6; 3:18.
二　新约职事的荣光乃是复活的基督─基督作为赐生命的灵─林前十五45下，林后三17~18：
B.　The glory of the new covenant ministry is the resurrected Christ—Christ as the life-giving Spirit—1 Cor. 15:45b; 2 Cor. 3:17-18:
1　复活的基督自己就是新约的荣光─约七39，十七1，5，路二四26，徒三13，罗六4。
1.　The resurrected Christ is Himself the glory of the new covenant—John 7:39; 17:1, 5; Luke 24:26; Acts 3:13; Rom. 6:4.
2　荣光是一种素质，与那灵有密切的关系─林后三18：
2.　Glory, which is an essence, is intimately related to the Spirit—2 Cor. 3:18:
a　十八节里的荣光等于主灵;因此，荣光实际上就是那灵。
a.　The glory in verse 18 is equal to the Lord Spirit; thus, the glory actually is the Spirit.
b　在复活里的基督乃是赐生命的灵─林前十五45下。
b.　Christ in resurrection is the life-giving Spirit— 1 Cor. 15:45b.
c　新约的荣光乃是复活的基督，就是那灵。
c.　The glory of the new covenant, being the resurrected Christ, is the Spirit.
d　荣光、那灵、复活，都是说到同一件事。
d.　The glory, the Spirit, and resurrection all refer to the same thing.
3　三一神作为包罗万有、赐生命的灵，是新约职事的荣光，现今在我们众人里面照耀─林后四4，6。
3.　The Triune God as the all-inclusive life-giving Spirit—the glory of the new covenant ministry—is now shining in us all—2 Cor. 4:4, 6.
