纲目

1五作神的工人正直地分解（就如作木工一样）真理的话，意即将神话语的各部分，正确、正直、毫不曲解地揭示出来；真理的话需要正确地解开，以光照暗昧的人，预防毒素，吞灭死亡，并将偏离的人带回正途——提后二15，参徒二六18，诗一一九130。

Morning Nourishment

2提后二15 你当竭力将自己呈献神前，得蒙称许，作无愧的工人，正直地分解真理的话。

22 Tim. 2:15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, an unashamed workman, cutting straight the word of the truth.

3诗一一九130 你的言语一解开，就发出亮光，使愚蒙人通达。

3Psa. 119:130 The opening of Your words gives light, imparting understanding to the simple.

4〔在提后二章十五节〕保罗指明预防者要作工人。这工人是木匠，必须正直地分解真理的话。这就是说，将神话语的各部分，正确、正直、毫不曲解地揭示出来。木匠怎样有技巧正直地切割木头，照样，主的工人需要有技巧正直地分解真理的话。这是需要的，因为在召会的败落中，许多真理被曲解，呈现歪曲、偏颇的样式（提摩太后书生命读经，三二页）。

4[In 2 Timothy 2:15] Paul indicates that the inoculator is to be a workman. As a carpenter, this workman must cut straight the word of the truth. This means to unfold the word of God in its various parts rightly and straightly without distortion. Just as a carpenter has the skill to cut wood in a straight way, so the Lord’s workman needs the skill to cut straight the word of the truth. This is necessary because in the decline of the church so many truths are twisted and presented in a warped, biased form. (Life-study of 2 Timothy, 2nd ed., p. 26)

5言辞的争辩（提后二14）、世俗的空谈（16）、如同毒疮腐蚀人的话（17）以及愚拙无学问的辩论（23），在召会堕落的潮流中，常被魔鬼（26）用来产生争竞（23），败坏听见的人（14），助长不敬虔（16），并倾覆人的信心（18）。因此，真理的话需要正确地解开，以光照暗昧的人，预防毒素，吞灭死亡，并将偏离的人带回正途。

5“Contentions of words” (2 Tim. 2:14), “profane, vain babblings” (v. 16), the word that eats away like gangrene (v. 17), and “foolish questionings and those arising from an untrained mind” (v. 23) are often used by the devil (v. 26) in the downward current among the churches to beget contentions (v. 23), to ruin the hearers (v. 14), to promote ungodliness (v. 16), and to overthrow people’s faith (v. 18). Hence, there is the need of the word of the truth, rightly unfolded, to enlighten the darkened people, inoculate against the poison, swallow up the death, and bring the distracted back to the proper track.

6今天在基督徒中间，唯有真理浅显的方面没有被曲解。几乎所有真理较深的事都被曲解了。……所以，我们不但该是教师、精兵、竞赛者和农夫，也该是工人、木匠，正直地分解真理的话。这里的真理不仅仅是指圣经的道理，乃是指神新约经纶的内容和实际。这真理的主要元素，乃是基督作神的奥秘和神的具体化身，以及召会作基督的奥秘和基督的身体。我们都需要学习正直地分解关于基督与召会之真理的话。

6Among Christians today, only the superficial aspects of the truth are not twisted. Virtually all the deeper things of the truth have been distorted… Therefore, we should be not only teachers, soldiers, contenders, and farmers but also workmen, carpenters, cutting straight the word of the truth. The truth here does not merely denote biblical doctrine; it refers to the contents and the reality of God’s New Testament economy. The main elements of this truth are Christ as the mystery of God and the embodiment of God and the church as the mystery of Christ and the Body of Christ. We all need to learn to cut straight the word of the truth with respect to Christ and the church.

7有些弟兄会的教师，将保罗说到正直地分解真理的话，解释为将圣经分成不同的时代：无罪、良心、人治、应许、律法、恩典和国度七个时代。圣经可以照着这些时代来领会。然而，将主的话排列成几个时代，不是保罗在提后二章十五节说到正直地分解真理的话的意思。提摩太前后书和提多书这三卷书里所用的真理这辞有特别的意义：它是指神新约经纶的内容。许多读圣经的人不领悟这点，以为在提后二章十五节保罗笼统地说到真理。但我们需要照着真理这辞在提摩太前后书和提多书这三卷书里的用法，领会本节的真理。提前三章十五节说，召会是“真理的柱石和根基”。这真理是敬虔的奥秘，神显现于肉体。召会该承担、托住这真理，这实际。保罗在这三封书信里多次说到真理。譬如，在提前二章四节他说，神“愿意万人得救，并且完全认识真理”。提后二章十五节的真理这辞，乃是指神新约经纶健康的话。我们是工人，不仅仅该学习将圣经分成几个时代，这太肤浅了；我们必须学习揭示关于神经纶之真理的话。我们若要这样作，就需要仔细看保罗在这三封书信里对这辞的用法。我们若仔细看这三卷书，就会看见这里的真理乃是指神新约经纶之内容的实际。所以，正直地分解真理的话，就是毫不偏颇或曲解地揭示新约里所启示神经纶的实际（提摩太后书生命读经，三二至三四页）。

7Certain Brethren teachers interpret Paul’s word about cutting straight the word of the truth to mean dividing the Bible into various dispensations: innocence, conscience, human government, promise, law, grace, and kingdom. The Bible can be understood according to these dispensations. However, arranging the Word into dispensations is not what Paul means in 2:15 about cutting straight the word of the truth. As used in the three books of 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus, the word truth has a specific significance: it denotes the contents of God’s New Testament economy. Not realizing this, many readers of the Bible think that in 2 Timothy 2:15 Paul is speaking of truth in a general way. But we need to understand the word truth in this verse according to its usage in the three books of 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus. First Timothy 3:15 says that the church is “the pillar and base of the truth.” This truth is the mystery of godliness, God manifested in the flesh. The church should bear, uphold, this truth, this reality. Numerous times in these three Epistles Paul speaks of the truth. For example, in 1 Timothy 2:4 he says that God “desires all men to be saved and to come to the full knowledge of the truth.” The word of the truth in 2 Timothy 2:15 refers to the healthy words of God’s New Testament economy. As workmen, we should learn not merely to divide the Bible into dispensations. This is too superficial. We must learn to unfold the word of the truth concerning God’s economy. If we would do this, we need to consider carefully Paul’s use of the word truth in these three Epistles. If we consider these books carefully, we will see that truth here denotes the reality of the contents of the New Testament economy of God. Therefore, to cut straight the word of the truth is to unfold without bias or distortion the reality of God’s economy revealed in the New Testament. (Life-study of 2 Timothy, 2nd ed., pp. 26-28)

今日要点

9主题：在基督耶稣的恩典上得着加力，好成为工人

10引经：提后二15，诗一一九130

111.成为工人，正直分解真理的话：

12A.保罗给提摩太作为预防者的第五个称呼，乃是工人，提后二15说，你当竭力将自己呈献神前，得蒙称许，作无亏的工人，正直的分解真理的话，照着这节，这工人是木匠，必须正直的分解真理的话，不能曲解真理，正直分解，就是将神话语的各部分，正确、正直、毫不曲解的揭示出来。

13B.就如木匠怎样有技巧正直的切割木头，照样，主的工人需要有技巧正直的分解真理的话，因为在召会的败落中，人离弃了使徒的健康教训，许多真理被曲解，呈献歪曲、偏颇的样式，就如提后保罗所说到的言词的争辩、世俗的空谈、如同毒疮腐蚀人的话、愚拙无学问的辩论，都不是正直分解的真理。

142.借圣言的解开，发出光照以吞灭死亡：

15A.在召会中，若真理的话没有被正确的解开，反而被魔鬼用来产生争竞，败坏听见的人，助长不敬虔，并倾覆人的信心，召会就被破坏，另一面，今天许多真理浅显的方面虽然没有被曲解，但较深的真理却被曲解，例如基督作神的奥秘和神的具体化身，以及召会作为基督的奥秘，作基督的身体的真理，却仍被基督教所曲解，甚至在恢复的召会中也不一定完全领会。

16B.所以我们都需要学习正直的分解关于基督与召会之真理的话，当真理的话被正确的解释、解开，我们就会经历诗一一九130所说，言语一解开，就发出亮光，使愚蒙人通达，真理就能光照暗昧的人，除去黑暗的阴翳，能够预防毒素，吞灭死亡，并将偏离的人带回正途。

17应用：每天的晨兴圣言，不能当作报纸阅读，反而要借着纲目，读出该段的负担，并借着祷读主话而接触主，而经历主的光照与对付，使我们仆倒，进而珍赏主的身位与工作，并接受引导，而在生活中借着这些话的供应与帮助，而使我们活在光中，甚至将光带到人群中。
