9腓三9~10 ……给人看出我是在祂里面,不是有自己那本于律法的义,乃是有那借着信基督而有的义,就是那基于信、本于神的义,使我认识基督、并祂复活的大能、以及同祂受苦的交通,模成祂的死。
9Phil. 3:9-10 ...Found in Him, not having my own righteousness which is out of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is out of God and based on faith, to know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death.
10我们可以用观光客……购物为例,说明如何得着对基督之认识的至宝。……观光客看见展示的珠宝,通常都很兴奋。……他们进入商店之前,对这些珠宝的宝贵毫无所知。一旦他们看见了,也知道了这些东西的宝贵,就愿意付代价来得着它们。同样,我们需要有启示,知道基督的宝贵,祂的无上宝贝。
10Gaining the excellency of the knowledge of Christ may be illustrated by the experience of tourists shopping...Often when tourists see precious items on display, they become excited...Before they entered the store, they did not know anything of the excellency of these precious items. But once they saw them and gained the excellency of the knowledge concerning them, they were willing to pay the price to possess them. In like manner, we need a revelation of Christ’s excellency, of His supreme preciousness.
11我们若得了基督是至宝的启示,我们自然会以认识基督为至宝(腓立比书生命读经,一九一至一九二页)。
11If we have a revelation of Christ’s excellency, we shall automatically have the excellency of the knowledge of Christ. (Life-study of Philippians, p. 161)

12在道理上领会给人看出我们是在基督里面是一回事,而在我们日常生活中给人看出我们是在基督里面,完全是另一回事。我若到你家去看望你,我会看出你在哪里?……我们若活在文化里,别人就看出我们是在文化里。我们若活在好行为里,别人就要看出我们是在我们的行为里。……当保罗还凭律法活着的时候,别人看出他是在律法里面。但有一天,他开始以认识基督为至宝。他看见一个异象,就是基督必须是他的一切:爱、恩慈、谦卑、智慧、忍耐、意向、态度,甚至是他的言语、发表和表情。因他以认识基督为至宝,他就甘心将万事看作亏损。不仅如此,他还亏损万事,看作粪土,为要赢得基督,并且给人看出他是在基督里面〔腓三8~9〕。
12It is one thing to have a doctrinal understanding of being found in Christ; it is quite another thing to be found in Christ in our daily living. If I were to visit you in your home, where would I find you?...If we live in our culture, we shall be found by others in culture. If we live in our good behavior, we shall be discovered by others in our behavior...When Paul was still living by the law, he was found in the law. But one day he began to have the excellency of the knowledge of Christ. He saw the vision that Christ must be his everything: love, kindness, humility, wisdom, patience, intention, attitude, and even his words, utterances, and expressions. On account of this excellency of the knowledge of Christ, he was willing to count all things to be loss. Furthermore, he suffered the loss of all things and counted them refuse in order to gain Christ and be found in Him.
13我们必须有异象,看见基督的宝贵。然后,我们必须赢得我们所看见的这位基督。……要认识基督,不仅要有关乎基督的知识,更要赢得祂……的人位。基督是神格丰满的具体表现(西二9),又是一切正面事物影儿的实际(二16~17)。……赢得基督就是……经历、享受并支取祂一切追测不尽的丰富(弗三8)。我们既赢得基督,就该也活在祂里面,成为一班在经历上在祂里面的人。这样,当别人看见……或观察我们的时候,就会看出我们是在基督里面。人不会看出我们是在自己的美德里面;我们会给人看出我们是在基督里面,并且只在基督里面。哦,愿我们都赢得祂,并且给人看出我们是在祂里面!愿我们都愿意亏损万事,看作粪土,为要给人看出我们是在基督里面。……我们若赢得基督,并且活在祂里面,祂作为我们的义,就要成为我们在神和人面前的彰显。这样,人不只笼统地看出我们是在基督里面,人也要看出我们是在义里面,这义就是基督自己从我们里面活出来。唯有当人看出我们是在基督里面时,主才会得着满足。照样,当人看出信徒是在基督里面时,服事主的人才会喜乐并满足。
13We need to have a vision of the preciousness of Christ. Then we need to gain the very Christ we have seen...To know Christ is not merely to have the knowledge concerning Him but to gain His very person. Christ is the embodiment of the fullness of the Godhead (Col. 2:9) and the reality of the shadows of all positive things (Col. 2:16-17). To gain Him is to experience, enjoy, and take possession of all His unsearchable riches (Eph. 3:8). As we gain Christ, we should also live in Him and become those who are in Him in experience. Then when others see us or observe us, they will find us in Christ. We shall not be found in our own virtues—we shall be found in Christ and in Him alone. Oh, that we may gain Him and be found in Him! May we be willing to suffer the loss of all things and count them refuse in order to be found in Christ. If we gain Christ and live in Him, He as our righteousness will become our expression before both God and man. Then we shall not simply be found in Christ in a general way, but we shall be found in the very righteousness that is Christ Himself lived out of us. Only when we are found in Christ will the Lord be satisfied. Likewise, those who serve the Lord will be pleased and satisfied only when the believers are found in Christ.
14在腓立比三章十节保罗用“模成祂的死”这辞。……基督的死是个模子,使我们被模成这模子的形状;这就像面团放在糕饼的模子里,模成模子的形状一样。保罗一直过钉十字架的生活,就是在十字架下的生活,正如基督在祂为人的生活中所过的。借着这样的生活,我们就能经历并彰显基督复活的大能。基督之死的模子,是指基督不断地将祂人的生命治死,使祂得以凭神的生命活着(约六57)。我们的生活应当模成祂这模子的形状,就是向我们人的生命死,而活神的生命。模成基督的死,乃是认识并经历基督、和祂复活的大能、以及同祂受苦之交通的条件(腓立比书生命读经,一九六至一九七、二一九页)。
14In Philippians 3:10 Paul uses the expression being conformed to His death...Christ’s death is a mold to which we are conformed in much the same way that dough is put in a cake mold and conformed to it. Paul continually lived a crucified life, a life under the cross, just as Christ did in His human living. Through such a life, the resurrection power is experienced and expressed. The mold of Christ’s death refers to the continual putting to death of His human life that He might live by the life of God (John 6:57). Our life should be conformed to such a mold—dying to our human life in order to live the divine life. Being conformed to the death of Christ is the condition for knowing and experiencing Him, the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings. (Life-study of Philippians, pp. 165-166, 184)
