2A The building and the battle always go together; if we would have the building, we must be prepared to fight—Matt. 16:18; Eph. 2:21-22; 4:16; 6:10-20.
3二 为着建造,我们需要材料,为着争战,我们需要兵器;这些全靠石头、铁、山和铜。
3B For the building we need the materials, and for the battle we need the weapons; these depend upon the stones, the iron, the mountains, and the copper.
5A Christ is a stone for God’s building; this means that Christ is the material for God’s building and that God’s building is entirely of Christ—Acts 4:10-12; 1 Pet. 2:4-5:
14b We are undergoing the process of transformation so that Christ, the living stone, may be constituted into us to make us living stones for God’s house—Rom. 12:2; 2 Cor. 3:18.
