I. Life is the Triune God imparted into us, and truth is the Triune God shining into us; by life and truth Paul encouraged Timothy and inoculated him against the decline of the church—2 Tim. 1:1, 10; 2:15, 25.
贰 生命和真理是借着神所呼出的圣经分赐到我们里面:

叁 生命和真理乃是借着神经纶健康的教训分赐到我们里面:
III. Life and truth are dispensed into us through the healthy teaching of God's economy:
一 神的经纶就是神借着祂神圣的三一,将祂自己作到人里面,使人享受基督的丰富,而成为祂的肢体,并构成为基督的身体,以彰显三一神─提前一3~4,弗三8~11,14~19。
A. God's economy is God's working Himself through His Divine Trinity into man in order that man would enjoy the riches of Christ to become His members and be constituted into the Body of Christ for the manifestation of the Triune God—1 Tim. 1:3-4; Eph. 3:8-11, 14-19.
二 神经纶的健康教训,是照着独一的新约职事,保持召会在生命上健康,在真理上得建立,以产生敬虔,就是一种活基督,并在基督里彰显神的生活─提前六3,三15~16,提后一13,太四4,约六57,63,启二7。
B. The healthy teaching of God's economy according to the unique New Testament ministry keeps the church healthy in life and established in truth to bring forth godliness—a life that lives Christ and expresses God in Christ— 1 Tim. 6:3; 3:15-16; 2 Tim. 1:13; Matt. 4:4; John 6:57, 63; Rev. 2:7.
三 召会败落和背道的基本因素,乃是离弃保罗那以神的经纶为中心之完成的职事─提后一15,四3~4,提前一3~4:
C. The basic factor of the decline and apostasy of the church is the turning away from Paul's completing ministry centered on the economy of God—2 Tim. 1:15; 4:3-4; 1 Tim. 1:3-4:
1 在亚西亚的众召会因着离弃了保罗的职事,就败落以至于堕落─提后二16~17,提前一3~4,启二1~7,参三16。
1. Because they turned away from Paul's ministry, the churches in Asia declined into degradation—2 Tim. 2:16-17; 1 Tim. 1:3-4; Rev. 2:1-7; cf. 3:16.
2 众召会堕落显著的点是不同的教训,就是巴兰的教训、(二14、)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
2. The striking point of the churches' degradation was different teachings— the teaching of Balaam, (2:14), the teaching of the Nicolaitans (v. 15), and the teaching of Jezebel (v. 20); different teachings crept in because the churches turned away from Paul's teaching, the unique teaching of God's eternal economy.
3 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;主赞赏他们,因为他们遵守主的话,那就是说,他们没有离弃神经纶健康的教训,就是合乎敬虔的教训─三8,提前一10,六3,提后四3。
3. 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—3:8; 1 Tim. 1:10; 6:3; 2 Tim. 4:3.
肆 我们要被神重新构成,作神的见证,就是神的彰显,就必须天天读圣经,并读开启圣经的职事,而被神的话重新构成:
IV. In order to be reconstituted with God to be the testimony of God, the expression of God, we must be reconstituted with the word of God by daily reading the Bible and the ministry that opens up the Bible:
一 我们要被重新构成并得着预防,就需要借着回到神的话─写成的话和解开的话,而回到神那里─尼八1~18。
A. In order to be reconstituted and inoculated, we need to come back to God by coming back to His word, both the written Word and the interpreted word— Neh. 8:1-18.
二 我们要被重新构成并得着预防,就需要一再读圣经的六十六卷书─参申十七18~19,提前四13:
B. In order to be reconstituted and inoculated, we need to read the sixty-six books of the Bible again and again—cf. Deut. 17:18-19; 1 Tim. 4:13:
1 要重新构成神的子民,就要将他们放在神的话里,使他们被话浸透,借此教育他们─提后二15。
1. To reconstitute the people of God is to educate them by putting them into the Word of God that they may be saturated with the word—2 Tim. 2:15.
2 借着天天读神圣的话,神的话就在我们里面作工,那灵就借着话,自然而然将神的性情同神的元素,分赐到我们这人里面,使我们被神构成─弗五26~27。
2. Through our daily reading of the divine Word, the word of God works within us, and the Spirit, through the word, spontaneously dispenses God's nature with God's element into our being, causing us to be constituted with God—Eph. 5:26-27.
3 神的话逐渐改变我们的心思,和我们的思想方式,使我们被神的思想、神的考量、并神的一切所是灌输,使我们成为神的见证─四23,诗一一九2,14,88,出二五16,21~22,三八21,启一2。
3. God's word gradually changes our mind and our way of thinking, transfusing us with the thought of God, with the considerations of God, and with all that God is, making us God's testimony—4:23; Psa. 119:2, 14, 88; Exo. 25:16, 21-22; 38:21; Rev. 1:2.
三 我们要被重新构成并得着预防,就需要借着惟一的职事,劳苦的进入神经纶健康的教训─提前五17:
C. In order to be reconstituted and inoculated, we need to labor to get into the healthy teaching of God's economy through the unique ministry—1 Tim. 5:17:
1 健康的教训不仅供应信徒生命的供应,医治属灵的疾病,而且这样作也将召会带进良好秩序的健康光景中─六3,多一1,9。
1. The healthy teaching not only ministers the life supply to the believers and heals the spiritual diseases, but in so doing, it also brings the church into a sound condition with a good order—6:3; Titus 1:1, 9.
2 恢复本圣经的批注和生命读经的信息,并不是顶替圣经,乃是开启圣经,把我们带进圣经那合乎神经纶惟一教训的内在意义─诗一一九130,徒八30~31,尼八8,13。
2. The notes of the Recovery Version and the Life-study messages do not replace the Bible but open up the Bible to bring us into its intrinsic significance according to the unique teaching of God's economy—Psa. 119:130; Acts 8:30-31; Neh. 8:8, 13.
3 “我有把握的说,凡是好好读过五百篇生命读经信息的人,必会成为优秀的信徒。…医药、营养和各种维他命,都包含在这些信息里面。”(长老训练第三册,实行异象的路,一一二页。)
3. "I have the assurance to say that whoever has read through five hundred Life-study messages properly has been an excellent believer…Medicine, nourishment, and all kinds of vitamins are included in these messages" (Elders' Training, Book 3: The Way to Carry Out the Vision, p. 106).
4 我们必须把主所托付的健康话语和神经纶的健康教训,存到我们里面,就象我们把钱存到银行一样─提后一13~14,提前六3,20,西三16,诗一一九72。
4. We must deposit the Lord's healthy words and the healthy teaching of God's economy into our being, like we deposit money in a bank—2 Tim. 1:13-14; 1 Tim. 6:3, 20; Col. 3:16; Psa. 119:72.
5 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─多一9,徒二42,提前一3~4,提后一15~16。
5. In a darkened and confused situation we must cleave to the enlightening and ordering word in the New Testament, the healthy teaching of God's economy—Titus 1:9; Acts 2:42; 1 Tim. 1:3-4; 2 Tim. 1:15-16.
