2A The life of God is the kingdom of God; the divine life is the kingdom, and this life produces the church (John 3:3, 5; Matt. 7:14, 21; 19:17, 29; 25:46):
31 国度乃是生命的范围,让生命行动、治理、管治,使生命能达成其目的,而这范围就是国度。
31 The kingdom is the realm of life for life to move, rule, and govern so that life may accomplish its purpose, and this realm is the kingdom.
42 The gospel brings in the divine life, and this life has its realm, which is the kingdom; the divine life with its realm produces the church (2 Tim. 1:10).
53 The gospel of the kingdom brings forth the church because the kingdom is the life itself, and the church is the issue of life (Matt. 4:23; Acts 8:12).
6B The kingdom is the reality of the church; therefore, apart from the kingdom life, we cannot live the church life (Matt. 5:3; 16:18-19; Rev. 1:4-6, 9):
71 诸天之国的实际(太五~七)乃是召会生活的内容;没有国度的实际,召会就是空洞的。
71 The reality of the kingdom of the heavens (Matt. 5—7) is the content of the church life; without the reality of the kingdom, the church is empty.
