Scripture Reading: Eph. 1:10; Gal. 6:15; Matt. 16:18; John 11:25; 1 Cor. 15:45b
壹　我们需要在基督加强时期的职事里，被基督这位七倍加强的灵所加强，好征服旧造中撒但毁坏的混乱，并在为着新造之建造的神圣经纶里得胜─启三1，四5，五6，弗一10，三10，加六15：
I.　We need to be intensified by Christ as the sevenfold intensified Spirit in His ministry in the stage of intensification to conquer the destructive satanic chaos in the old creation and to triumph in the constructive divine economy for the new creation—Rev. 3:1; 4:5; 5:6; Eph. 1:10; 3:10; Gal. 6:15:
一　魔鬼撒但是旧造中邪恶之混乱的源头与元素─太十六23，启二9~10，林后二11，彼前五8：
A.　Satan, the devil, is the source and element of the evil chaos in the old creation— Matt. 16:23; Rev. 2:9-10; 2 Cor. 2:11; 1 Pet. 5:8:
1　使徒们的职事一直有混乱的事伴随着，诸如：不同于保罗所教导神圣经纶的教训（提前一3~4），人欺骗手法的教训之风（弗四14），那些造成分立和绊跌之事的人（罗十六17），分门结党的人在召会中照着自己的意见形成派别（多三10），以及亚西亚的信徒离弃了保罗的职事（提后一15）。─引用经文
1.　The ministry of the apostles was accompanied by chaos in such things as teachings that were different from the divine economy taught by Paul (1 Tim. 1:3-4), the winds of teaching in the sleight of men (Eph. 4:14), those who made divisions and causes of stumbling (Rom. 16:17), factious men forming parties in the churches according to their opinions (Titus 3:10), and the believers in Asia turning away from Paul's ministry (2 Tim. 1:15).
2　在亚西亚的七个召会中，第一、第三、第四、第五和第七个召会的情形里都有混乱─启一4上：
2.　There was chaos in the situation of the first, third, fourth, fifth, and seventh of the seven churches in Asia—Rev. 1:4a:
a　第一个召会（以弗所）失去了对主起初的爱─二4。
a.　The first one (Ephesus) lost her first love toward the Lord—2:4.
b　第三个召会（别迦摩）落到世界里，就是有撒但座位之处，持守巴兰和尼哥拉党的教训─13~15节。
b.　The third one (Pergamos) fell into the world where Satan's throne is and held the teachings of Balaam and the Nicolaitans—vv. 13-15.
c　第四个召会（推雅推喇）有了耶洗别的教训，与撒但深奥之事有关─20节、24节上。
c.　The fourth one (Thyatira) had the teaching of Jezebel, which was involved with the deep things of Satan—vv. 20, 24a.
d　第五个召会（撒狄）按名是活的，其实是死的，并且在神面前没有一事是完成的─三1~2。
d.　The fifth one (Sardis) was living in name, yet she was dead, with none of her works completed before God—3:1-2.
e　第七个召会（老底嘉）不冷不热，不知道自己是困苦、可怜、贫穷、瞎眼、赤身的─14~17节。
e.　The seventh one (Laodicea) was lukewarm and did not realize that she was wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked—vv. 14-17.
二　神就是神圣的经纶，祂在基督里进到我们里面，作为一种行政、安排、经纶和计划，使一切都有次有序─弗一10，三10：
B.　God is the divine economy, and in Christ He has come into us as an adminis-tration, arrangement, economy, and plan that puts everything in order—Eph. 1:10; 3:10:
1　神圣的经纶是要从混乱的旧造里产生出新造;我们信徒接受了基督作神圣的经纶，而成为新造─林后四6，五17，加六15。
1.　The divine economy is to produce the new creation out of the chaotic old creation; as believers, we have received Christ as the divine economy for the new creation—2 Cor. 4:6; 5:17; Gal. 6:15.
2　基督徒的生活与神圣的经纶和撒但的混乱都有关系：
2.　The Christian life involves both the divine economy and the satanic chaos:
a　一面说，我们是新造;另一面说，我们仍然受混乱的搅扰─林后五17，二11，十一3。
a.　On the one hand, we are a new creation; on the other hand, we continue to be troubled by chaos—2 Cor. 5:17; 2:11; 11:3.
b　基督徒的生活既是经纶与混乱的混合，就是整个宇宙的缩影;宇宙的历史乃是神的经纶与撒但的混乱的历史─创一1~3，林后四6，启二十10、14，二一1~2、5~6。
b.　As a mixture of economy and chaos, the Christian life is a miniature of the entire universe, the history of which is a history of God's economy and Satan's chaos—Gen. 1:1-3; 2 Cor. 4:6; Rev. 20:10, 14; 21:1-2, 5-6.
三　主需要得胜者，由祂这位七倍加强的灵所产生，与祂成为一，好征服撒但毁坏的混乱，并在独一的神圣经纶里得胜─提后一10，启二7，十二11，十七14。
C.　The Lord needs the overcomers, produced by Him as the sevenfold intensified Spirit, who will be one with Him to conquer the destructive satanic chaos and triumph in the unique divine economy—2 Tim. 1:10; Rev. 2:7; 12:11; 17:14.
贰　我们需要在基督加强时期的职事里，被基督这位七倍加强的灵所加强，好胜过死亡对召会的攻击，并在基督复活的生命里建造基督的身体─太十六18，约十一25，弗一22~23，四16：
II.　We need to be intensified by Christ as the sevenfold intensified Spirit in His ministry in the stage of intensification to overcome the attack of death upon the church and to build up the Body of Christ in the resur-rection life of Christ—Matt. 16:18; John 11:25; Eph. 1:22-23; 4:16:
一　得胜者胜过死亡对召会的攻击─太十六18，林后一9，罗五17，八11，林前十五26、54~57，林后五4，提后一10：
A.　The overcomers are victorious over the attack of death upon the church—Matt. 16:18; 2 Cor. 1:9; Rom. 5:17; 8:11; 1 Cor. 15:26, 54-57; 2 Cor. 5:4; 2 Tim. 1:10:
1　死亡乃是撒但工作的特点;他一切所作的就是要人充满死亡─来二15。
1.　Death is the characteristic of Satan's work; the ultimate goal of his work is to saturate man with death—Heb. 2:15.
2　自伊甸园开始，神与撒但的争执，一直就是在死亡与生命这个问题上─罗八6、10~11。
2.　From Eden onwards, God's controversy with Satan has been on the issue of death and life—Rom. 8:6, 10-11.
3　马太十六章十八节给我们看见，召会所受的攻击是从什么源头而来─“阴间的门”，就是死亡：─引用经文
3.　Matthew 16:18 shows us from what source the attack upon the church will come—"the gates of Hades," that is, death:
a　撒但特别的目的，乃是在召会里散布死亡;他最害怕的，就是召会抵挡他死亡的权势─启二8、10~11。
a.　Satan's special object is to spread death within the church, and his greatest fear with regard to the church is her resistance to his power of death—Rev. 2:8, 10-11.
b　建造在“这磐石”上的召会能够分辨死亡和生命，阴间的门不能胜过她─太十六18。
b.　The church that is built upon "this rock" can discern between death and life, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it—Matt. 16:18.
4　我们若要胜过死亡的攻击，就需要认识基督是那首先的、末后的（永远长存、永不改变的一位），且是死过又活的（这一位就是复活）─启一18，二8，约十一25，徒二24。
4.　If we would overcome the attack of death, we need to know Christ as the First and the Last—as the ever-existing, unchanging One—and as the One who became dead and lived again—as the One who is resurrection—Rev. 1:18; 2:8; John 11:25; Acts 2:24.
5　对那些胜过死亡攻击的人，主要赐他们生命的冠冕，就是得胜的力量，也就是复活生命的大能─启二10下，腓三10。
5.　To those who overcome the attack of death, the Lord will give the crown of life—the overcoming strength that is the power of the resurrection life— Rev. 2:10b; Phil. 3:10.
二　得胜者在基督复活的生命里建造基督的身体─弗二6、21~22，四16，启一18，二8，腓三10：
B.　The overcomers build up the Body of Christ in the resurrection life of Christ— Eph. 2:6, 21-22; 4:16; Rev. 1:18; 2:8; Phil. 3:10:
1　基督的身体是在基督复活的生命里─约十一25：
1.　The Body of Christ is in the resurrection life of Christ—John 11:25:
a　召会作为基督的身体，其性质乃是复活─徒二24，弗一19~23。
a.　The nature of the church as the Body of Christ is resurrection—Acts 2:24; Eph. 1:19-23.
b　召会是一个新造，是在基督的复活里，由复活的基督所造的─彼前一3，弗二6，加六15。
b.　The church is a new creation created in Christ's resurrection and by the resurrected Christ—1 Pet. 1:3; Eph. 2:6; Gal. 6:15.
2　我们要在基督身体的实际里，就必须完全在基督复活的生命里─约十一25，林前十五45下，林后一9：
2.　To be in the reality of the Body of Christ, we must be absolutely in the resurrection life of Christ—John 11:25; 1 Cor. 15:45b; 2 Cor. 1:9:
a　在我们天然的生命和旧造里，我们不是身体：惟有在那借着基督复活的生命而有新生起头的新造里，我们才是身体─五17，弗一19~23。
a.　In our natural life and in the old creation, we are not the Body; we are the Body only in the new creation germinated by Christ's resurrection life—5:17; Eph. 1:19-23.
b　基督的身体是在复活里，复活的实际乃是基督这赐生命的灵─约十一25，二十22，林前十五45下。
b.　The Body of Christ is in resurrection, and the reality of resurrection is Christ as the life-giving Spirit—John 11:25; 20:22; 1 Cor. 15:45b.
c　复活的原则就是天然的生命被杀死，神圣的生命代之而起─林后一9。
c.　The principle of resurrection is that the natural life is killed and that the divine life rises up to take its place—2 Cor. 1:9.
d　赐生命的灵不会尊重我们所作任何不在复活里的工作;只有在复活里的，那灵才尊重─林前十五45下、48。
d.　If we do any work which is not in resurrection, the life-giving Spirit will not honor it; the Spirit honors only what is in resurrection—1 Cor. 15:45b, 48.
3　当我们不凭天然的生命，而凭我们里面神圣的生命而活时，我们就在复活里;这种生活的结果就是基督身体的长大和建造─腓三10~11，弗四15~16，西二19，三15。
3.　When we do not live by the natural life but live by the divine life within us, we are in resurrection; the issue of such a living is the growth and building up of the Body of Christ—Phil. 3:10-11; Eph. 4:15-16; Col. 2:19; 3:15.
