15信徒的身体得赎,……是他们全人里面的死被复活的生命吞灭而致成得胜。时候将到,那时最后的仇敌—死,不仅要被毁灭,更要被复活的生命吞灭。……林前十五章五十四节说,“几时这必朽坏的穿上不朽坏,这必死的穿上不死,经上所记‘死被吞灭而致成得胜’的话,就应验了。”几时,即我们这必朽坏、必死的身体,复活或改变形状,脱离朽坏和死,进入荣耀和生命之时。……这是我们借着在基督里的救赎和救恩,在神新约经纶中所同享之复活的完成。这复活开始于我们死了的灵活过来,完成于我们必朽坏的身体改变形状,中间的过程乃是我们堕落的魂,借着基督那赐生命的灵,就是复活的实际,而有新陈代谢的变化。
15For the believers to be redeemed in their body is…to have death in their entire being swallowed up by the resurrection life in victory. The time is coming when the last enemy, death, will not only be destroyed but also swallowed up by resurrection life. First Corinthians 15:54 says, “When this corruptible will put on incorruption and this mortal will put on immortality, then the word which is written will come to pass, ‘Death has been swallowed up unto victory.’” The word when refers to the time that our corrupted and mortal body will be resurrected or transfigured from corruption and death into glory and life…This is the consummation of the resurrection we share in God’s New Testament economy through redemption and salvation in Christ. This resurrection begins with the making alive of our dead spirit and is completed with the transfiguration of our corruptible body. In between is the process of the metabolic transformation of our fallen soul by the life-giving Spirit, who is the reality of resurrection.
