读经：提后一12~18，提前一3~4，六3~4
Scripture Reading: 2 Tim. 1:12-18; 1 Tim. 1:3-4; 6:3-4
壹　主今日的恢复乃是恢复保罗完成职事的中心异象;这是时代职事里时代的异象─西一25，参徒九4~5，15，二二14~15，二六16~19：
I.　The Lord's recovery today is the recovery of the central vision of Paul's completing ministry; this is the vision of the age in the ministry of the age—Col. 1:25; cf. Acts 9:4-5, 15; 22:14-15; 26:16-19:
一　在新约里，使徒们，特别是使徒保罗，完成了神的话，就是神圣的启示，论到神在我们里面是我们的内容，基督是神的奥秘，以及召会是基督的奥秘，因而给我们关于神经纶的完满启示─弗三9，林后四7，西二2，弗三4。
A.　In the New Testament the apostles, especially the apostle Paul, completed the word of God, the divine revelation, regarding God in us as our contents, Christ as the mystery of God, and the church as the mystery of Christ, thereby giving us a full revelation of God's economy—Eph. 3:9; 2 Cor. 4:7; Col. 2:2; Eph. 3:4.
二　主恢复的目标乃是完成神的话，这是时代的使命─徒二六18~19：
B.　The goal of the Lord's recovery is the completion of the word of God, which is the commission of the age—Acts 26:18-19:
1　就着完满的传扬神的话，宣扬神所有的旨意、神全部的经纶，好将各人在基督里成熟的献上这一面的意义说，我们需要完成神的话─二十26~27，西一28~29。
1.　We need to complete the word of God in the sense of fully preaching the word, declaring all the counsel of God, all of God's economy, so that we may present every man full-grown in Christ—Acts 20:26-27; Col. 1:28-29.
2　就着主观的经历基督，在我们日常生活中享受祂，而产生正当的召会生活，作神在肉体里团体的显现（大哉敬虔的奥秘）这一面的意义说，我们需要完成神的话─腓一19~21上，弗三16~21，提前三15~16上。
2.　We need to complete the word of God in the sense of experiencing Christ subjectively to enjoy Him in our daily living so that the proper church life may come forth to be the corporate manifestation of God in the flesh, the great mystery of godliness—Phil. 1:19-21a; Eph. 3:16-21; 1 Tim. 3:15:16a.
贰　召会败落并背道的基本因素，乃是离弃保罗完成的职事─提后一15，参二17~18，四4，10，14~16：
II.　The basic factor of the decline and apostasy of the church is the turning away from Paul's completing ministry—2 Tim. 1:15; cf. 2:17-18; 4:10, 14-16:
一　所有在亚西亚的人都离弃保罗，意思不是指他们离弃他这个人，而是离弃他那以神的经纶为中心的职事─一15~17，四4，提前一3~4，弗三2，8~11，16~21，西一25，林前九17。
A.　For all those Asia to turn away from Paul meant that they turned away not from his person but from his ministry centered on the economy of God—2 Tim. 1:16-17; 1 Tim. 1:3-4; Eph. 3:2, 8-11, 16-21; Col. 1:25; 1 Cor. 9:17.
二　亚西亚的七个召会当中，在以弗所的召会完全是由保罗的职事建立的─徒十九1~20，二十17~38，弗一1，提前一3~4。
B.　Among the seven churches in Asia was the church in Ephesus, which was fully established by Paul's ministry—Acts 19:1-20; 20:17-38; Eph. 1:1; 1 Tim 1:3-4.
三　保罗说到所有在亚西亚的人都离弃他，三十年之后，主在祂加强的时期用约翰向亚西亚的众召会说话─启一4，三1，四5，五6。
C.　About thirty years after Paul said that all who are in Asia turned away from him, the Lord used John to speak to the churches in Asia in the stage of His intensification—Rev. 1:4; 3:1; 4:5; 5:6.
四　因着离弃保罗的职事，在亚西亚的众召会就陷入堕落的光景中;第一封书信是写给在以弗所的召会，证明他们领头离弃保罗的职事和教训─二1~7，参三16。
D.　Because they turned away from Paul's ministry, the churches in Asia declined into degradation; the first letter being written to the church in Ephesus proves that they took the lead to forsake Paul's ministry and teaching—2:1-7; cf. 3:16.
五　在以弗所的召会离弃了起初的爱，因为他们离弃保罗的职事─弗一4，三16~19，四2，15~16，五2，六24，启二4。
E.　The church in Ephesus left their first love because they left Paul's ministry—Eph. 1:4; 3:16-19; 4:2, 15-16; 5:2; 6:24; Rev. 2:4.
六　众召会堕落显著的点是巴兰的教训、（14、）尼哥拉党的教训、（15、）和耶洗别的教训;（20;）这些不同的教训偷着进来，因为众召会离弃了保罗的教训，就是神永远经纶惟一的教训：─引用经文
F.　The striking point of the churches' degradation was the teaching of Balaam, (Rev. 2:14), the teaching of the Nicolaitans (v. 15), and the teaching of Jezebel (v. 20); these different teachings crept in because the churches turned away from Paul's teaching, the unique teaching of God's eternal economy:
1　不同的教训，使我们离开对那位作我们生命和一切的主耶稣基督自己这宝贵人位真正的珍赏、爱和享受─林后十一2~3。
1.　Different teachings separate us from the genuine appreciation, love, and enjoyment of the precious person of the Lord Jesus Christ Himself as our life and our everything—2 Cor. 11:2-3.
2　凡与主健康的话不同的教训，总是出于人那蒙蔽自己的高傲与自大─提前六3~4。
2.　Teachings that differ from the healthy words of the Lord always issue from people's pride and self-conceit, which blind them—1 Tim. 6:3-4.
七　在亚西亚有一个召会是独特的，非常受主称赞─在非拉铁非的召会;主珍赏他们，因为他们遵守主的话，这意思是，他们没有离弃神经纶健康的教训，就是合乎敬虔的教训─启三8，提前一10，六3，提后四3。
G.　One church in Asia was unique and highly appraised by the Lord—the church in Philadelphia; the Lord appreciated them because they kept the word, which means they did not turn away from the healthy teaching of God's economy, the teaching according to godliness—Rev. 3:8; 1 Tim. 1:10; 6:3; 2 Tim. 4:3.
八　主健康而活的话的职事，总是产生敬虔─一种活基督并在基督里彰显神的生活─提前六3，提后一13，太四4，约六57，63，启二7。
H.　The ministry of the healthy, living words of the Lord always bring forth godliness—a life that lives Christ and expresses God in Christ —1 Tim. 6:3; 2 Tim. 1:13; Matt. 4:4; John 6:57, 63; Rev. 2:7.
叁　一个特别的职事是否新约职事的一部分，可以藉着应用三个管治原则来验证：经过过程的三一神分赐到祂所拣选之人里面的原则;基督与召会的原则;以及基督、那灵、生命和召会的原则─林前一10，参十四8：
III.　Whether or not a particular ministry is part of the New Testament ministry can be proved by applying three governing principles: the principle of the processed Triune God being dispensed into His chosen people; the principle of Christ and the church; and the principle of Christ, the Spirit, life, and the church—1 Cor. 1:10; cf. 14:8:
一　你的教训若能通过这三重试验，你的教训就是新约职事─时代职事─的一部分─一10，参十四8。
A.　If your teaching can pass this threefold test, your teaching is a part of the New Testament ministry, the ministry of the age—1 Cor. 1:10; cf. 14:8.
二　新约职事中的领导，乃是神经纶那控制之启示、神所赐之启示的领导─徒二六19，箴二九18：
B.　The leadership in the New Testament ministry is the leadership of the controlling, God-given revelation of God's economy—Acts 26:19; Prov. 29:18:
1　你不该作吸引人跟随你的工;这样一个使自己具有吸引力的人是错误的，你若受吸引跟随他，就助长他的错误，破坏你自己，也破坏他─参林后四5。
1.　You should not do a work to attract people to follow you; such a one who makes himself attractive is wrong, and if you are attracted to follow him, you help him to be wrong, destroying yourself and him—cf. 2 Cor. 4:5.
2　在主的工作里，我们应当提防野心，想要为我们的工作得着一个地方或一个区域，俘掳人作我们私人的同工;我们堕落的天性喜欢俘掳人─林前十一19，加五20。
2.　In the Lord's work, we should beware of the ambition to get a place or a district our work, captivating people to be our private co-workers; our fallen disposition by birth likes to captivate people—1 Cor. 11:19; Gal. 5:20.
3　我们绝不该跟随任何人;我们只该照着从天上来的、完成的时代异象，来跟随主─徒二六19。
3.　We should never follow any person; we should simply follow the Lord according to the heavenly and consummate vision of the age.
三　由这职事所兴起的圣徒对这职事有一种口味;这口味乃是主恢复里控制的因素─彼前二3。
C.　The saints who have been raised up by this ministry have a taste for this ministry; this taste is the controlling factor in the Lord's recovery—1 Pet. 2:3.
四　那些由这口味所兴起来的，会拒绝与这口味不合的事;这意思是，你若说与主恢复口味不合的事，你的讲说会被拒绝，你也会遭亏损。
D.　Those who have been raised with this taste will reject a taste that is contrary to it; this means that if you speak something contrary to the taste of the Lord's recovery, your speaking will be rejected and you will suffer loss.
肆　辨别真正的新约职事有两个秘诀：
IV.　There are two secrets of discerning the genuine New Testament ministry:
一　真正的职事挑旺我们对我们新郎主耶稣的爱，使我们享受祂作我们的丈夫到极点─林后十一2~3。
A.　The genuine ministry stirs up our love for the Lord Jesus as our Bridegroom so that we may enjoy Him to the uttermost as our Husband—2 Cor. 11:2-3.
二　真正的职事加强我们在同基督为着祂身体受苦的交通里跟随祂─23~33节，西一25，参提后三12，四16~18。
B.　The genuine ministry strengthens us to follow Christ in the fellowship of His sufferings for the sake of His Body—vv. 23-33; Col. 1:25; cf. 2 Tim. 2:12, 16-18.
伍　要蒙保守在主的恢复里，我们必须“藉着那住在我们里面的圣灵，保守那美好的托付”─一14：
V.　In order to be preserved in the Lord's recovery, we must "guard the good deposit through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us"—2 Tim. 1:14:
一　按照十三节，这里的托付必是指主将神经纶健康的话储藏在我们里面的托付，包括主话语中生命的丰富;我们必须将主健康的话存入我们这人里面，就像我们将钱存入银行一样─提前六20，西三16，诗一一九72：
A.　According to verse 13, the deposit must refer to the deposit of the healthy words of God's economy, including the riches of life in the Lord's words, which He has stored in us; we have to deposit the Lord's healthy words into our being, like we deposit money in a bank—1 Tim. 6:20; Col. 3:16; Psa. 119:72:
1　持守健康话语的规范，意思是凭着健康的话而活，在关乎神新约经纶之完全福音的话、以及包含并传输基督丰富之甜美的话上，得了喂养─提后一13，提前四6。
1.　To hold a pattern of healthy words means to live by the healthy words, being nourished with the words of the full gospel concerning God's New Testament economy and the sweet words that contain and convey the riches of Christ—2 Tim. 1:13; 1 Tim. 4:6.
2　我们若是藉着操练灵，在那灵里行动、举止、生活的人，凡存入我们这人里面的，都必藉着住在我们里面的那灵蒙保守─提后一12，14。
2.　If we are persons acting, behaving, and having our life in the Spirit through the exercise of our spirit; all that has been deposited in our being will be guarded through the Spirit who is indwelling us—2 Tim. 1:12, 14.
二　在黑暗混乱的局面中，我们必须坚守新约里光照并规正的话，就是神经纶健康的教训，论到神在祂神圣的三一里将祂自己分赐到祂所拣选的人里面，使他们被构成基督的身体，作三一神的显出─多一9，徒二42，提前一3~4。
B.　In a darkened and confused situation, we must cleave to the enlightening and ordering word in the New Testament, which is the healthy teaching of God's economy, which concerns God's dispensing of Himself in His Divine Trinity into His chosen people so that they may be constituted into the Body of Christ for the manifestation of the Triune God— Titus 1:9; Acts 2:42; 1 Tim. 1:3-4.
