14旧造凭神圣的生命有新生的起头,就成为新造。我们在基督里的信徒,已借着祂的复活有了新生的起头,如今乃是新造。旧造没有神在其中,但新造开始于神以新生起头的方式进到我们里面。这新生的起头就是神圣的生命分赐到信徒里面。借着这神圣生命的分赐,我们蒙了重生。所以,新生的起头是神圣的生命分赐到信徒里面,使他们重生,叫他们成为新造(新约总论第三册,三○○至三○一页)。
14When the old creation is germinated with the divine life, it becomes the new creation. We, the believers in Christ, who have been germinated through His resurrection, are now the new creation. The old creation does not have God in it, but the new creation begins by God coming into us in the way of germination. This germination is the impartation of the divine life into the believers. Through this impartation of the divine life we were regenerated. Therefore, germination is the impartation of the divine life into the believers for their regeneration to make them a new creation. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 788-789)
