8五 “今天神在地上要有另外一个人,就是新人。……主今天在地上要得着一个新人。……所以我们大家都要起来接受基督作我们共同的人位。我们若要有一个主张,若要有一种生活,我们不能够仅仅在自己里头来定规,而要在新人里面和新人一同接受基督作人位。这个要求是大的、是高的,这样,这个新人就长大成熟,我们就达到一个长成的人。”(CWWL一九七七年第三册,一个身体,一位灵,一个新人,四二三至四二四页)
8E “Today on this earth...God wants to have another man, the new man...He wants to gain the one new man on earth…So we all need to rise up to take Christ as our corporate person. If we want to make a decision or live a certain kind of life, we cannot decide merely in ourselves; instead, we must take Christ as our person in the new man and with the new man. This requirement is great and high. In this way the new man grows and matures, and we will arrive at a full-grown man” (The Collected Works of Witness Lee, 1977, vol. 3, “One Body, One Spirit, and One New Man,” p. 325).
