2a 夏娃出现以前,她是亚当的一条肋骨,是亚当的一部分;按照这启示,我们可以说,召会出现以前,召会就已经是基督的一部分;正如我们肉身的肢体是我们的一部分,基督的肢体也是基督的一部分—21~23节,弗一3~6,林前十二12,罗十二5,参徒九5。 2a Before Eve came into existence, she was a rib of Adam, a part of Adam; according to this revelation, we can say that before the church came into existence, she was a part of Christ; just as the members of our physical body are parts of us, the members of Christ are parts of Christ—vv. 21-23; Eph. 1:3-6; 1 Cor. 12:12; Rom. 12:5; cf. Acts 9:5.
