9在〔往罗马的〕整个航程中,并……在米利大岛上〔参徒二七~二八〕,保罗的确是在灵里生活行事。他所过的生活,的确是那成为肉体、钉死十架、复活、升天的基督。保罗的生活实际上就是赐生命之灵的彰显。在他日常生活的每个景况中,保罗都是他所传扬这位基督的彰显。他传扬那成为肉体、钉十字架、复活、升天而成为赐生命之灵的基督;在米利大岛上,他就是活这样一位成为包罗万有之灵的基督。保罗后来在腓立比一章二十至二十一节上半所写的话指明了这一点:“这是照着我所专切期待并盼望的,就是没有一事会叫我羞愧,只要凡事放胆,无论是生,是死,总叫基督在我身体上,现今也照常显大,因为在我,活着就是基督。”保罗只关心活基督并显大基督。……保罗活基督并显大这位成为赐生命之灵的基督。我们读路加对保罗生活的记载,就看见他所活的,乃是包罗万有的灵,就是那成为肉体、钉死十架、复活、升天、被神高举之基督的终极完成(使徒行传生命读经,七○八至七○九页)。
9Throughout the voyage and now on the island of Malta [cf. Acts 27—28] Paul certainly was walking in the Spirit. He surely lived a life that was the incarnated, crucified, resurrected, and ascended Christ. Paul’s living was actually the expression of the life-giving Spirit. In every situation of his daily living, Paul was the expression of the very Christ he preached. He preached the incarnated, crucified, resurrected, and ascended Christ as the life-giving Spirit, and on the island of Malta he lived such a Christ as the all-inclusive Spirit. This is indicated by Paul’s word, written later, in Philippians 1:20 and 21a: “According to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I will be put to shame, but with all boldness, as always, even now Christ will be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death. For to me, to live is Christ... “Paul cared only to live Christ and to magnify Him... Paul lived Christ and magnified Him as the life-giving Spirit. As we read Luke’s account of Paul’s living, we see that his living was the all-inclusive Spirit as the consummation of the incarnated, crucified, resurrected, and God-exalted Christ.
