5四 “任何地方的召会向其他召会孤立,乃是羞耻。……这完全与新人的感觉背道而驰。任何召会持这样的态度,就是只对自己有感觉,没有整体新人的感觉。任何人坚持这态度,就会叫新人支离破碎。……持这种态度的人缺乏一个新人的感觉,缺乏‘新人感’。”(歌罗西书生命读经,三二一页)
5D “It is shameful for the church in any locality to isolate itself from other churches... This is utterly contrary to the consciousness of the new man. Any church that holds such an attitude has a consciousness only of itself, not of the totality of the new man. Those who insist on this attitude cause the new man to be fragmented, to be broken into pieces…Those who have this attitude lack the sense, the consciousness, of the one new man” (Life-study of Colossians, pp. 260-261).
