43 这把我们带到“成为神”这件事,并且含示神在祂经纶里的目的,是要使祂自己成为人,为要在基督里,使我们在基督里的信徒和神的儿女,在生命、性情和构成上(但不在神格上)成为神;这样的含示意义极其重大,并且圣经至终完成于这件事—29节,一3~4,约一1~13,约壹三1,启二一2,10~11。 43 This brings us to the matter of deification and implies that God's intention in His economy is to make Himself man so that, in Christ, we, the believers in Christ and children of God, may become God in life, in nature, and in constitution (but not in the Godhead); such an implication is exceedingly great, and eventually, the Bible consummates with this matter—v. 29; 1:3-4; John 1:1-13; 1 John 3:1; Rev. 21:2, 10-11.
