16我们若只读神的话,我们所读的那段话就不太有机会深入我们里面,并浸透我们这人。但我们若歌唱神的话,特别是颂咏这话,就将我们全人更完全地向话敞开,并给这话机会深入我们,并浸透我们。……在歌唱并颂咏神的话时,让我们运用我们的声音、我们的心思、我们的心和我们的灵。……我们若花一点时间歌唱主的话,就会觉得我们里面被这话充满并浸透。那么我们自然而然就会活基督(腓立比书生命读经,四二五至四二六、四二九页)。
16If we only read the Word, there is little opportunity for the portion we read to sink into us and saturate our being. But if we sing the Word, and especially if we psalm it, we open our being more fully to the Word and give it the opportunity to sink into us and saturate us…In singing and psalming the Word of God, let us exercise our voice, our mind, our heart, and our spirit. If we take even a little time to sing the Word, we shall sense that we are inwardly filled and saturated with it. Then spontaneously we shall live Christ. (Life-study of Philippians, pp. 356-357, 359)
