I. The book of Romans reveals the eight stages of the Christian life:

八 按照罗马十二章的图画,信徒乃是活在基督的身体里,并且实行身体的生活。
H. According to the picture in Romans 12, the believers are living in the Body of Christ and are practicing the Body life.
贰 在罗马书里我们能看见,神成为人,为要使罪人在神完整的救恩里蒙救赎、得重生、圣别、更新、变化、模成并得荣,成为神的众子,在生命和性情上与神一样,作基督生机身体的肢体─八3,一3~4,三24,五10,八14,29~30,十二2,4~5。
II. In Romans we can see that God became man so that, in God's complete salvation, sinners may be redeemed, regenerated, sanctified, renewed, transformed, conformed, and glorified to become the sons of God, who are the same as God in life and nature, to be the members of the organic Body of Christ—8:3; 1:3-4; 3:24; 5:10; 8:14, 29-30; 12:2, 4-5.
叁 神的旨意是要为基督得着一个身体,作祂的丰满,祂的彰显─启四11,弗一5,9,22~23,五17:
III. The will of God is to obtain a Body for Christ to be His fullness, His expres-sion—Rev. 4:11; Eph. 1:5, 9, 22-23; 5:17:

一 基督的身体乃是基督从天上借以在地上继续祂职事的管道─弗一22~23。
A. The Body is the channel on earth through which Christ continues His ministry from the heavens—Eph. 1:22-23.
二 我们若忽略基督的身体,就没有基督徒生活的中心,我们的基督徒生活里也没有正确的目标、标的和方向。
B. If we neglect the Body of Christ, we do not have the focus of the Christian life, and we do not have the proper goal, aim, and direction in our Christian life.
三 奉献乃是为着基督的身体;奉献的目的是使我们实化基督的身体,并过身体的生活─罗十二1~2。
C. Consecration is for the Body of Christ; the purpose of consecration is for us to realize the Body of Christ and to live the Body life—Rom. 12:1-2.
伍 调和的灵乃是神产生并建造基督身体的惟一器官─一9,七6,八4,14,16,十二4~5,11:
V. The mingled spirit is the unique organ for God to bring forth and build up the Body of Christ—1:9; 7:6; 8:4, 14, 16; 12:4-5, 11:
一 我们事奉神必须是在重生的灵里,凭那赐生命的灵,而不是在魂里,凭魂的能力和才干─一9。
A. We must serve God in the regenerated spirit by the life-giving Spirit, not in the soul by the power and ability of the soul—1:9.
二 我们要为着身体的生活在生命中作王,就必须在调和的灵里─五17,21。

E. The Body of Christ is an organism composed of a group of people who live, walk, and have their being according to the mingled spirit—vv. 4-6.
六 调和的灵乃是儿子名分的灵;我们若在灵里被那灵引导,就在实际里是神的儿子─14~15节。
F. The mingled spirit is the spirit of sonship; if we are led by the Spirit in our spirit, we are sons of God in reality—vv. 14-15.

K. When we live in the mingled spirit, we can be of the same mind, and with one accord and one mouth we can glorify God—15:5-6.
陆 因着罗马十二章论到基督身体的功用,这章就从生机联结的角度说到基督的身体─4~5节:
VI. Because Romans 12 is concerned with the function of the Body of Christ, it speaks of the Body from the angle of the organic union—vv. 4-5:
一 我们若没有看见我们与基督所有的生机联结,就不能明白什么是基督的身体─林前一30,十二12~13,27。
A. If we do not see the organic union that we have with Christ, we cannot under-stand what the Body of Christ is—1 Cor. 1:30; 12:12-13, 27.
二 我们要在基督身体的实际里,就需要充分经历在基督里生机的联结,彻底的领悟我们在生命里与基督生机的成为一。
B. In order to be in the reality of the Body of Christ, we need to fully experience the organic union in Christ, with a thorough realization that we are organi-cally one with Christ in life.
三 当我们留在生机的联结里而住在基督里,如同枝子在葡萄树上,我们就真正活在基督的身体里─约十五1,4~5。
C. As we remain in the organic union, abiding in Christ as branches in the vine, we are actually living in the Body of Christ—John 15:1, 4-5.
四 在与基督生机的联结里过身体的生活,关联到我们整个三部分的人─罗十二1~2,11:
D. The living of the Body life in the organic union with Christ involves our entire tripartite being—Rom. 12:1-2, 11:
1 我们需要将身体当作活祭献给神─1节。
1. We need to present our body a living sacrifice to God—v. 1.
2 我们的心思必须更新,使魂得着变化─2~3节。
2. We have to be renewed in the mind for the transformation of our soul— vv. 2-3.
3 我们需要在灵里,因神这火而火热─11节,来十二29。
3. We need to be burning in spirit with God as the fire—v. 11; Heb. 12:29.
五 我们若没有活在生机的联结里,并且身体没有献上,魂没有借着心思的更新而变化,灵也没有火热,这样,实在来说,我们就在基督身体之外,离开了基督的身体。
E. If we do not live in the organic union and if we do not have our body offered, our soul transformed by the renewing of the mind, and our spirit burning, then, in a practical sense, we are outside of the Body and apart from the Body.
柒 基督的身体在宇宙中是独一的,但这身体需要在地上得着彰显─罗十二4~5,十六16下,林前一2,十二12~13,27,西三15,四15~16:
VII. The Body of Christ is unique in the universe, but it needs to be expressed on earth—Rom. 12:4-5; 16:16b; 1 Cor. 1:2; 12:12-13, 27; Col. 3:15; 4:15-16:
一 地方召会是基督身体的彰显─罗十六16下。
A. The local churches are the expressions of the Body of Christ—Rom. 16:16b.
二 基督的身体与众地方召会乃是一个实体的两面;众地方召会就是基督的身体,基督的身体就是众地方召会。
B. The Body of Christ and the local churches are two sides of one entity; the local churches are the Body of Christ, and the Body of Christ is the local churches.
三 基督的身体是三一神的生机体,而众地方召会乃是为着基督身体的交通和往来─1~23节。
C. The Body of Christ is the organism of the Triune God, and the local churches are for the fellowship and communication of the Body of Christ—vv. 1-23.
四 在地方上的召会,乃是我们享受神生命救恩的集合点─五10,十六16下。
D. The local churches are the gathering point of our enjoyment of God's salvation in life—5:10; 16:16b.
五 我们在召会生活中享受神的生命,就蒙拯救脱离自己的眼光与目标,而顾到基督身体的建造─十二3,十四7~9,17~19,十五1~3。
E. As we enjoy God's life in the church life, we are saved from our self-view and self-goal and we care for the building up of Body of Christ—12:3; 14:7-9, 17-19; 15:1-3.
