31 The flesh is the created body corrupted by sin, the nature of Satan (Rom. 6:12, 14; 7:8, 11, 17, 20); the self is the created soul plus the satanic mind, the mind of Satan.
42 When the mind, the thought, of Satan was injected into the human soul, the human soul became the self, the embodiment of Satan (Gen. 3:1-6; Matt. 16:22-23):
5a 夏娃把善恶知识树的果子吃进她身体里以前,撒但的思想、心思就已经注射到她的魂里。
5a Before Eve took the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil into her body, the thought, the mind, of Satan was injected into her soul.
6b After Eve's mind was poisoned by Satan's thought, her emotion was aroused, and then her will was exercised to make a decision to eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge.
7c 到这时候,她魂的每一部分—心思、情感和意志—都被毒化了。
7c By this time every part of the soul—the mind, the emotion, and the will—had been poisoned.
8d 己是魂生命的具体表现,魂生命又借着心思发表出来;因此,己、魂生命和心思乃是三而一的。
8d The self is the embodiment of the soul-life, which is expressed through the mind; thus, the self, the soul-life, and the mind are three-in-one.
9e 这三者背后乃是撒但,他操纵己,为要破坏召会—23节。
9e Behind these three is Satan, who manipulates the self in order to damage the church (v. 23).
