壹　在神原初心意的“蓝图”里，人是整个宇宙的中心，而人的中心乃是他的灵─亚十二1，创二7：
I.　In the "blueprint" of God's original intention, man is the center of the entire universe, and the center of man is his spirit—Zech. 12:1; Gen. 2:7:
一　诸天是为着地，地是为着人，神给人造了灵，使人可以接触神，接受神，盛装神，敬拜神，活神，为神完成神的定旨，彰显神，并与神成为一─箴二十27，约四24，林前六17。
A.　The heavens are for the earth, the earth is for man, and man was created by God with a spirit that he may contact God, receive God, contain God, worship God, live God, fulfill God's purpose for God, express God, and be one with God—Prov. 20:27; John 4:24; 1 Cor. 6:17.
二　神若不是灵，我们若没有灵来接触神，与神成为一，整个宇宙就是空洞的，我们也一无所是─传一2，三11，伯三二8，十二10，林后四13，16~18。
B.　Without God being the Spirit and without us having a spirit to contact God, to be one with God, the whole universe is empty and we are nothing—Eccl. 1:2; 3:11; Job 32:8; 12:10; 2 Cor. 4:13, 16-18.
三　由于人的堕落，人不仅疏忽并忽略人的灵，甚至拒绝承认人有灵─参帖前五23，来四12，犹19。

四　人是器皿，原该藉着操练他的灵，接受在基督里的神作为生命树，使生命作为河，在人的最深处流进流出，使他得变化成为宝贵的材料，为着神的建造，就是神永远的彰显─创一26，二7~12，22，提前四7~8：
D.　Man as a vessel, through the exercise of his spirit, was to receive God in Christ as the tree of life so that life as a river would flow in and out of his innermost being for his transformation into precious materials for God's building, God's eternal expression—Gen. 1:26; 2:7-12; 2:22; 1 Tim. 4:7-8.
1　神的气成了我们人的灵，我们的灵乃是神的灯，以盛装神作油，并给我们亮光─创二7，箴二十27。
1.　The breath of God has become our human spirit, and our spirit is God's lamp to contain God as the oil and to give us light—Gen. 2:7; Prov. 20:27.
2　人的灵因着堕落，成了残破的灯，但藉着神在祂救恩里的恢复，人的灵由活泼且七倍加强的灵所重生、重建并加强─创二7，箴二十27，约三6，启四5，林前十五45下。

五　神建造到人里面，是由帐幕和胸牌两者所预表，神建造的关键乃是我们调和的灵：
E.　The building of God into man is typified by both the tabernacle and the breastplate, and the key to God's building is our mingled spirit:
1　帐幕竖板之联结的闩是由皂荚木包金作的，表征调和的灵，就是神圣的灵与人的灵调和，成为和平的联索─出二六26~30，罗八16，弗四3~4。
1.　The uniting bars of the boards of the tabernacle, made of acacia wood overlaid with gold, signify the mingled spirit, the divine Spirit mingled with the human spirit to become the uniting bond of peace—Exo. 26:26; Eph. 4:3-4; Rom. 8:16.
2　在新约里，放在胸牌里之乌陵与土明的实际乃是调和的灵，就是神揭示的灵（圣灵），内住于我们接受的灵（我们重生之人的灵）─出二八30，罗八4，14，林前二9~12。

贰　提摩太后书的主题是对召会败落的预防剂，而接受并施行这预防剂的钥匙，乃是操练我们的灵─一6~7，提前四7~8，徒六10，林前十四32：
II.　The subject of 2 Timothy is the inoculation against the decline of the church, and the key to receiving and dispensing this inoculation is the exercise of our spirit—2 Tim. 1:6-7; 1 Tim. 4:7-8; Acts 6:10; 1 Cor. 14:32:
一　敬虔是彰显神的生活，是为着神圣经纶之神圣分赐的结果，这分赐是在于操练我们的灵，在日常生活中活基督，使神在召会生活中得着团体的显出─提前一3~4，三15~16，四7~8，提后一6~7。
A.　Godliness, a living that is the expression of God, is the issue of the divine dispensing for the divine economy, and this dispensing depends on the exercise of our spirit to live Christ in our daily life for the corporate manifestation of God in the church life—1 Tim. 1:3-4; 3:15-16; 4:7-8; 2 Tim. 1:6-7.
二　“操练”这辞含示勉强;我们基督徒若要刚强并在主里长大，就必须勉强自己用我们的灵，直到我们建立起操练灵的坚强习惯─提前四7。
B.　The word exercise implies forcing; if we Christians want to be strong and want to grow in the Lord, we must force ourselves to use our spirit until we build up a strong habit of exercising our spirit—1 Tim. 4:7.
三　操练我们的灵，就是将我们的灵如火挑旺起来─提后一6~7：

D.　To exercise our spirit we must deal with the parts of our heart surrounding our spirit—our mind, emotion, will, and conscience—1 Pet. 3:4; Psa. 51:10:
1　能力的灵乃是灵带着被征服并复活的意志，爱的灵乃是灵带着被神作为爱所充满的情感，清明自守的灵乃是灵带着被更新的心思─提后一7。
1.　A spirit of power is a spirit with a subdued and resurrected will, a spirit of love is a spirit with an emotion filled with God as love, and a spirit of sobermindedness is a spirit with a renewed mind—2 Tim. 1:7.
2　操练我们的灵，就是操练自己向神向人存无亏的良心，并有清洁的良心，意思是有纯洁的心，单单寻求神和祂的旨意─提前一19，三9，提后一3，徒二三1，二四16，太五8，诗七三25~26。

F.　To exercise our spirit is to pray, to approach God in a personal and confiding manner, for the interests of God—Christ, the kingdom of God, and the house of God—as the goal in God's eternal economy—1 Tim. 1:1-3, 8; Jude 19-21.
七　操练我们的灵，乃是将我们的心思置于灵─罗八6，玛二15~16：
