Message Two The Body and the Churches
读经：太十六18，十八17，弗一22~23，四4~6，二21~22，林前十二27，一2
Scripture Reading: Matt. 16:18; 18:17; Eph. 1:22-23; 4:4-6; 2:21-22; 1 Cor. 12:27; 1:2
壹　众召会的基本原则乃是身体─罗十二4~5，十六1，4，林前十二12~13，27，一2，弗一22~23，二21~22，西三15，四15~16。
I.　The basic principle of the churches is the Body—Rom. 12:4-5; 16:1, 4; 1 Cor. 12:12-13, 27; 1:2; Eph. 1:22-23; 2:21-22; Col. 3:15; 4:15-16.
贰　基督身体的精意、结晶，就是三一神和祂所拣选并救赎的人构造在一起，成为一个构造体;我们若没有看见基督身体这个结晶的意义，我们在今天的召会里，无论想要作什么，都没有路─弗四4~6，一3~14，22~23。
II.　The essential, crystallized significance of the Body of Christ is that the Triune God is constituted with His chosen and redeemed people to become a constituted entity; unless we see this crystallized significance of the Body of Christ, there is no way to carry out what we are trying to do in the church today—Eph. 4:4-6; 1:3-14, 22-23.
叁　基督的身体不是宇宙一面或地方一面的事，乃是外在架构和内在元素的事─四4~6：
III.　The Body of Christ is not a matter of being universal or local but of the outward framework and the inward element—4:4-6:
一　基督身体的构成，包括神所救赎、重生、圣别、更新、变化的信徒作外在的架构，以及经过过程、终极完成的三一神作内在的元素。
A.　The constitution of the Body of Christ has the believers, whom God has redeemed, regenerated, sanctified, renewed, and transformed, as the outward element and the processed and consummated Triune God as the inward element.
二　一个身体是架构，内在的元素是父作为源头，子作为从父而来的元素，以及灵作为元素的素质。
B.　The one Body is the framework, and the inward element is the Father as the source, the Son as the element from the Father, and the Spirit as the essence of the element.
三　三一神在我们里面，我们又在祂里面;这是外在架构和内在元素的联结与调和，使各方成为一─约十四20，十五4~5，林前六17。
C.　The Triune God is in us, and we are in Him; this is the joining and mingling of the outward framework and the inward element so that they become one— John 14:20; 15:4-5; 1 Cor. 6:17.
肆　基督的身体是召会的内在意义─弗一22~23：
IV.　The Body is the intrinsic significance of the church—Eph. 1:22-23:
一　召会是基督的身体;这指明基督的身体是召会的内在意义。
A.　The church is the Body; this indicates that the Body is the church's intrinsic significance.
二　如果没有身体，召会就没有意义;召会没有身体是没有意义的─林前十二12，27，一2。
B.　If there were no Body, the church would make no sense and have no meaning; the church without the Body means nothing—1 Cor. 12:12, 27; 1:2.
伍　基督独一的身体彰显于许多地方作为众地方召会─西四15~16，弗四4，启一4，11：
V.　The unique Body of Christ is expressed in many localities as the local churches—Col. 4:15-16; Eph. 4:4; Rev. 1:4, 11:
一　基督的身体是众地方召会的源头─罗十二4~5，十六1，4~5。
A.　The Body of Christ is the source of the local churches—Rom. 12:4-5; 16:1, 4-5.
二　一个身体就是神的一个召会，显于许多地方，作许多地方召会─太十六18，十八17，弗一22~23，二21~22，林前一2，十二27：
B.　The one Body is the one church of God, manifested in many localities as many local churches—Matt. 16:18; 18:17; Eph. 1:22-23; 2:21-22; 1 Cor. 1:2; 12:27:
1　一个地方召会是基督身体在该地的彰显─一2，十32下，17，十二12~13，20，27。
1.　A local church is an expression of the Body of Christ in a certain locality— 1 Cor. 1:2; 10:32b, 17; 12:12-13, 20, 27.
2　一个宇宙召会成了许多地方召会;神彰显于基督，基督彰显于召会，召会又彰显于众地方召会。
2.　The one universal church becomes the many local churches; God is expressed in Christ, Christ is expressed in the church, and the church is expressed in the local churches.
3　每一个地方召会乃是独一身体的一部分，是身体在一个地方的彰显;所以，一个地方召会不是身体，只是身体的一部分，是独一身体的一个彰显─弗一22~23，二21~22，林前一2，十二27。
3.　Every local church is a part of the unique Body, a local expression of the Body; therefore, a local church is not the Body but only a part of the Body, an expression of the unique Body—Eph. 1:22-23; 2:21-22; 1 Cor. 1:2; 12:27.
陆　我们因着身体而站在召会的立场上─徒十四23，多一5，启一11：
VI.　We stand on the ground of the church because of the Body—Acts 14:23; Titus 1:5; Rev. 1:11:
一　因着有一个独一宇宙的身体，身体在一个地方的彰显必须是独一无二的─罗十二4~5，林前十二12，一2。
A.　Because there is one unique, universal Body, the expression of the Body in a locality must be uniquely one—Rom. 12:4-5; 1 Cor. 12:12; 1:2.
二　召会地方的立场乃是基督身体独一的一─那灵的一─实行于众地方召会中─弗四3~4：
B.　The local ground of the church is the unique oneness of the Body of Christ— the oneness of the Spirit—practiced in the local churches—Eph. 4:3-4:
1　基督宇宙的身体，与众地方召会作身体的彰显，都是独一无二的。
1.　Both the universal Body of Christ and the local churches as expressions of the Body are uniquely one.
2　全宇宙中只有一个独一的身体，每个地方分别只有一个独一的地方召会;这独一的一乃是召会生活的基本因素。
2.　There is one unique Body in the whole universe, and there is one unique local church in each locality, respectively; this unique oneness is the basic element of the church life.
三　召会的立场不仅仅是地方的，也是宇宙的─二21~22：
C.　The ground of the church is not merely local but also universal—2:21-22:
1　在地方一面，召会的立场就是地方的立场;在宇宙一面，召会的立场就是基督独一身体的一─四3~4。
1.　Locally, the ground of the church is the ground of locality; universally, the ground of the church is the oneness of the unique Body of Christ—4:3-4.
2　召会在地方一面是一，这是基于其所在地─城市;召会在宇宙一面是一，这是基于基督的一个身体;这地方一面和宇宙一面的一，乃是召会真正的立场。
2.　The church is one locally based upon its locality, the city, and it is one universally based upon the one Body of Christ; this local and universal oneness is the genuine ground of the church.
3　地方的立场是一的外在彰显;一的内在实际乃是那灵─林前一2，十二12~13，弗四3~4。
3.　The ground of locality is the outward expression of oneness; the inward reality of oneness is the Spirit—1 Cor. 1:2; 12:12-13; Eph. 4:3-4.
柒　主需要身体的实际彰显于众地方召会中─太十六18，十八17，弗一22~23，二21~22，四16，五27，启十九7：
VII.　The Lord needs the reality of the Body to be expressed in the local churches—Matt. 16:18; 18:17; Eph. 1:22-23; 2:21-22; 4:16; 5:27; Rev. 19:7:
一　今天主所要得着的，不只是众召会在地方的立场上─一地一会，更是基督的身体作祂的丰满─一11，弗一22~23。
A.　What the Lord wants today is not only the churches on the ground of locality— one locality, one church—but also the Body as His fullness—1:11; Eph. 1:22-23.
二　在各处的地方召会，乃是为着基督宇宙的彰显─西三10~11：
B.　The local churches in different localities are for the universal expression of Christ—Col. 3:10-11:
1　每个地方召会都有宇宙的基督的一部分─弗一22~23，四10，林前一2，10~13。
1.　The universal Christ has a part of Himself in every local church—Eph. 1:22-23; 4:10; 1 Cor. 1:2, 10-13.
2　所有召会都该彰显同一个人位─包罗万有的基督─西三10~11。
2.　All the churches should express the same person—the all-inclusive Christ— Col. 3:10-11.
捌　认识身体会改变我们的召会生活─林前十二12~27：
VIII.　Knowing the Body changes our church life—1 Cor. 12:12-27:
一　我们若不认识身体，就无法透彻的认识召会─弗一22~23。
A.　If we do not know the Body, we will not be able to thoroughly know the church—Eph. 1:22-23.
二　在众地方召会中，我们该看自己是一个身体，并且不在地方上作任何事，不顾到宇宙身体的感觉。
B.　In the local churches, we should consider ourselves as one Body and not do anything locally without caring for the feeling of the Body universally.
三　我们该看自己当地的召会是基督身体的一部分，认识身体对地方召会的利益，以及地方召会对身体的利益─二21~22。
C.　We should consider our local church as part of the Body of Christ, recognizing the profit of the Body to the local churches and the profit of the local churches to the Body—2:21-22.
四　在我们的考虑中，身体该摆在第一，地方召会该在第二─太十六18，十八17，弗四4，16，二21~22，林前十二12，27，一2。
D.　In our consideration, the Body should be first and the local churches should be second—Matt. 16:18; 18:17; Eph. 4:4, 16; 2:21-22; 1 Cor. 12:12, 27; 1:2.
五　我们是身体的肢体，而身体不只是一个地方召会;身体乃是基督的身体，由三一神同所有信徒和众地方召会所构成─十二27，一2，弗一22~23。
E.　We are members of the Body, and the Body is not only a local church; the Body is the Body of Christ, constituted by the Triune God with all the believers and all the local churches—12:27; 1:2; Eph. 1:22-23.
