12四 在生命里长大,是长到元首基督里面;但我们在基督身体里尽功用,是本于元首的;首先我们长到元首里面,然后我们有一些本于元首,为着祂的身体建造的东西;这就是有分于神高大的旨意,就是要使万有在基督里归一于一个元首之下—弗四15~16。 12D To grow in life is to grow up into the Head, Christ, but to operate in the Body of Christ is to operate out from Him; first, we grow into the Head, and then we have something that is out from the Head for the building up of the Body; this is to participate in God's great and lofty will to head up all things in Christ— Eph. 4:15-16.
