第四篇　留在神经纶中独一无二的新约职事里，为着建造独一无二的身体
Message Four Remaining in the One Unique New Testament Ministry of God's Economy for the Building Up of the One Unique Body
读经：林后四1，提前一12，提后一13~18，二2，提前一3~4，六3~4
Scripture Reading: 2 Cor. 4:1; 1 Tim. 1:12; 2 Tim. 1:13-18; 2:2; 1 Tim. 1:3-4; 6:3-4
壹　在新约时代，主只有独一无二的职事，以产生并建造独一无二的身体，作祂独一无二的见证：
I.　In the New Testament age, the Lord has one unique ministry to produce and build up the one unique Body as His one unique testimony:
一　主的恢复乃是要恢复主独一的职事，就是照着使徒教训，也就是神新约经纶教训之新约的职事，为着建造基督的身体，以终极完成新耶路撒冷─提前一3~4，弗三8~11，14~19，四11~12。
A.　The Lord's recovery is to recover His unique ministry, the ministry of the New Testament, which is according to the apostles' teaching, the teaching of God's New Testament economy, for the building up of the Body of Christ to consummate the New Jerusalem—1 Tim. 1:3-4; Eph. 3:8-11, 14-19; 4:11-12.
二　就整体而言，身体只有一个团体的职事，没有许多的职事;虽然身体有许多功用，但身体的职事是一个─徒一17，25，林后四1，提前一12：
B.　As a whole, the Body has one corporate ministry, not many ministries; although there are many functions in the Body, the ministry in the Body is one—Acts 1:17, 25; 2 Cor. 4:1; 1 Tim. 1:12:
1　新约的职事是独一无二的，又是团体的;但因这职事乃是基督身体的事奉，又因这身体有许多肢体，所以每一个肢体都有各自的职事─徒二十24，西四17，提后四5。
1.　The New Testament ministry is uniquely one and corporate, but because this ministry is the service of the Body of Christ, and because this Body has many members, every member has its own personal ministry—Acts 20:24; Col. 4:17; 2 Tim. 4:5.
2　虽然执事有许多，但这许多执事只有一个团体的职事，就是新约的职事─林后三6。
2.　Although the ministers are many, all these ministers have only one corporate ministry, which is the New Testament ministry—2 Cor. 3:6.
三　正确的职事，就是照着神新约经纶的职事，乃是为着建造基督的身体─弗四11~12：
C.　The proper ministry, the ministry according to God's New Testament economy, is for the building up of the Body of Christ—Eph. 4:11-12:
1　一个地方召会若接受一个职事是不同于那产生众召会、建立众召会、并仍然造就众召会的一般职事，就会影响整个身体─林前一12，十六12，徒十八25，十九1~2，参启二1，4。
1.　For a local church to receive a ministry that is different from the general ministry that produces the churches, establishes the churches, and is still edifying the churches affects the entire Body—1 Cor. 1:12; 16:12; Acts 18:25; 19:1-2; cf. Rev. 2:1, 4.
2　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。
2.　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.
3　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，你也会受亏损。
3.　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.
贰　召会败落并背道的基本因素，乃是离弃使徒之教训（神经纶之教训）的新约职事─提后一15~18，四3~4，提前一3~4：
II.　The basic factor of the decline and apostasy of the church is the turning away from the New Testament ministry of the apostles' teaching, the teaching of the economy of God—2 Tim. 1:15-18; 4:3-4; 1 Tim. 1:3-4:
一　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─提后二16~17，提前一3~4，启二1~7，参三16。
A.　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.
二　众召会堕落显著的点是不同的教训─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
B.　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.
三　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─三8，提前一10，六3~4，提后四3。
C.　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; 6:3-4; 2 Tim. 4:3.
叁　分裂乃是出于不同的职事，带着不同的教训：
III.　Divisions come out of different ministries with different teachings:
一　“教导不同的事，…拆毁神的建造，而废除神的整个经纶。我们都必须看见，甚至教导一点点不同的事，也会将主的恢复拆毁。”（在神行动中正确的领导下留在神经纶独一的新约职事里，一四页。）
A.　"To teach differently tears down God's building and annuls God's entire economy. We all must realize that even a small amount of teaching in a different way destroys the recovery" (Remaining in the Unique New Testament Ministry of God's Economy under the Proper Leadership in His Move, p. 17).
二　“只有一种职事，是建造而绝不拆毁的，就是神的经纶。”（一五页。）
B.　"There is only one ministry that ever builds up and that never destroys—this is God's economy" (p. 18).
三　“一切的难处、分裂和混乱，都是来自容忍不同的职事这一个源头。…如果我们不儆醒，如果我们不谨慎，仇敌会以某一种方式，偷偷的利用一些凭借、一些方法，把不同的职事带进来。这样的事会终止主的恢复。”（一九页。）
C.　"All the troubles, divisions, and confusions came from the one source of the tolerance of different ministries…If we are not watchful, if we are careless, in one way or another the enemy would creepingly use some means, some ways, to bring in different ministries. Such a thing would end the Lord's recovery" (p. 21).
四　“如果你能除去一切不同的职事，只留下这独一的新约职事，那么一切的宗派，一切不同的团体，一切的分裂，都会消失，召会就不会有分裂，也没有混乱。”（一九页。）
D.　"If you could take away all the different ministries and leave only the unique ministry of the New Testament, all the denominations, all the different groups, and all the divisions would disappear. There would be no division and no confusion" (pp. 21-22).
五　“如果我们在这独一的职事以外，推行新的、不同的东西，就着主的恢复而论，我们就了了。实际上，主的恢复乃是要把我们带回到新约独一的职事上。” （二○页。）
E.　"If we carry out something new, something different, something other than this unique ministry, we will be through as far as the Lord's recovery is concerned. Actually, the Lord's recovery is to bring us back to the unique ministry of the New Testament" (p. 22).
肆　按照独一新约职事之神经纶健康的教训，保守召会在生命上健康，在真理上得坚固，而产生敬虔，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：
IV.　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:
一　我们要被重新构成并得着预防注射，就需要借着独一的职事，劳苦的进入神经纶健康的教训─提前五17：
A.　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　健康的教训不仅供给信徒生命的供应并医治属灵的疾病，并且这样作，也把召会带到有美好次序的健全光景里─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　恢复本的批注和生命读经的信息不是取代圣经，乃是开启圣经，带领我们进入圣经照着神经纶独一教训的内在意义里─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，必是个优秀的信徒。…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　我们必须将主健康的话语和神经纶的健康教训存入我们里面，象把钱存入银行一样─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.
二　在黑暗、混乱的光景中，我们必须紧紧联于神经纶健康的教训，并给人神经纶健康教训的预防注射─多一9，徒二42，提前一3~4，四6，提后一15~16，二2。
B.　In a darkened and confused situation we must cleave to and inoculate others with the healthy teaching of God's economy—Titus 1:9; Acts 2:42; 1 Tim. 1:3-4; 4:6; 2 Tim. 1:15-16; 2:2.
