16那灵的引导不是源于或在于外面的事物。那灵的引导是里面生命的结果。我要说这引导是来自生命的感觉，来自我们里面神圣生命的感觉。生命这辞在罗马八章至少提过五次。因此，那灵的引导是生命的事，是生命的感觉和知觉的事。心思置于灵，乃是生命（6）。我们怎样才能认识这生命？不是借着外面的事物，乃是借着内里生命的感觉和知觉。有一种来自心思置于灵的内里感觉。我们的心思若置于我们的灵，里面就立刻得着加强并满足；我们也得着滋润和复苏。借着那感觉和知觉，我们就能知道我们行得正确。换句话说，我们知道我们在那灵的引导之下。所以，十四节里那灵的引导不在于外面的事物，完全在于我们灵里生命的感觉。……你不该违反这里面的感觉，或违抗这内里的知觉，因为这的确是那灵的引导。……内里的生命使你感觉到，你是否在主的引导之下，甚至在小事上也是如此。因此，我们照着灵而行，并将我们的心思置于灵，借此被那灵引导（罗马书生命读经，二六二、二六四页）。
16The leading of the Spirit does not derive from nor depend upon outward things. The leading of the Spirit is an issue of the inner life. I would say that it comes from the sense of life, from the consciousness of the divine life within us. The word life is mentioned at least five times in Romans 8. Hence, the leading of the Spirit is a matter of life, a matter of the sense and consciousness of life. The mind set upon the spirit is life (v. 6). How can we know this life? Not by outward things but by the inward sense and consciousness of life. There is an inward sense which comes from setting the mind upon the spirit. If our mind is set upon our spirit, we are immediately strengthened and satisfied inwardly. We also are watered and refreshed. By that sense and consciousness we can know the life within us, and by this sense of life we can know that we are walking rightly. In other words, we know that we are under the leading of the Spirit. Therefore, the leading of the Spirit in verse 14 does not depend on outward things; it absolutely depends upon the sense of life within our spirit. You should not violate this inner sense or disobey this inward consciousness, for it is truly the leading of the Spirit…The inward life gives you the sense, even in small things, of whether or not you are under the Lord’s leading. Thus, we are led of the Spirit by walking according to spirit and by setting our mind upon the spirit. (Life-study of Romans, pp. 220, 222)
