11林前一10 弟兄们,我借我们主耶稣基督的名,恳求你们都说一样的话,你们中间也不可有分裂,只要在一样的心思和一样的意见里,彼此和谐。
111 Cor. 1:10 Now I beseech you, brothers, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be attuned in the same mind and in the same opinion.
12弗四12 为要成全圣徒,目的是为着职事的工作,为着建造基督的身体。
12Eph. 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints unto the work of the ministry, unto the building up of the Body of Christ.
13新约的职事是独一的,又是团体的。但因这职事乃是基督身体的事奉,而且因着身体有许多肢体,所以每一个肢体都有各自的职事。故此,按肢体来说,有许多的职事;不过,按整个身体来说,只有一个职事。你〔个人〕的职事不该从团体的职事分开。身体有一个团体的职事,而身体所有的肢体则有其个别的职事。我们看过,〔身体上〕所有肢体的职事加起来就等于团体的职事(李常受文集一九七八年第三册,四三八页)。
13The New Testament ministry is uniquely one and corporate. But because this ministry is the service of the Body of Christ and because the Body has many members, every member has its own ministry. Thus, according to the members, there are many ministries; however, according to the Body as a whole, there is just one ministry. Your ministry should not be separate from the corporate ministry. The Body has a corporate ministry, and all the members of the Body have their individual ministries. As we have seen, all the ministries of the members added together equal the corporate ministry. (CWWL, 1978, vol. 3, “Truth Messages,” p. 319)

14我说我们都该供应同样的东西,意思是我们应该按着新约的方式说同样的事。四卷福音书说的是同样的事,却是从不同的角度来说。……马太是由作王的角度来写,马可是从服事的角度,路加是从借着正确人性之救赎的角度,而约翰是由基督神性的角度。在福音书里有一个人的四本传记,从不同的角度来看一个人。我希望有许多人被兴起,从不同的角度来说同样的事。这一件事就是恢复基督作我们的生命和一切,以建造众地方召会。
14When I say that we all should minister the same thing, I mean that we should speak the same thing according to the way of the New Testament. The four Gospels speak the same thing, but they speak the same thing from different angles… Matthew wrote from the angle of the kingship; Mark, from the angle of service; Luke, from the angle of redemption through the proper humanity; and John, from the angle of Christ’s deity. In the Gospels we have four biographies of one person; one person is viewed from different angles. I hope that many will be raised up to speak the same thing from different angles. This one thing is the recovery of Christ as life and everything to us for the building up of the local churches.
15我盼望将来有许多的青年人传讲基督,为着身体的建造。我无意作唯一供应的人。反之,我巴望主兴起更多的人来成就这独一的职事。我们在这职事里都有一分;这是一个职事,却有不同的功能,不同的角度,以及不同的方面。你有你的一分,我也有我的一分。当我们有了所有的功能和方面,就有身体的职事。
15I hope that in the coming years many of the young people will speak of Christ for the building up of the Body. I have no intention of being the only one to minister. On the contrary, I expect the Lord to raise up many more to carry on the unique ministry. We all have a part in this ministry, which is one ministry with different functions, different angles, and different aspects. You have your part, and I have mine. When we have all the functions and aspects, we have the ministry of the Body.
16有些离开恢复的人,定罪我们不接受他们的职事。但他们的职事是一种暗中破坏、损害主恢复的职事。我们怎么可能接受那些蓄意暗中破坏主的恢复,并推翻包括十字架在内之生命基本项目之人的职事呢?我说这话不是由于任何个人的感觉,乃是由于对真理的关切。我对这些人没有什么个人的仇恨;然而,我不能接受他们的“职事”,他们的“职事”是拆毁,而不是建造。
16Some who have left the recovery accuse us of not accepting their ministry. But their ministry is a ministry of undermining and damaging the Lord’s recovery. How can we possibly accept the ministries of those whose intention has been to undermine the Lord’s recovery and to overthrow the basic matters of life, including the cross? I say this not out of any personal feeling but out of a concern for the truth. I have no personal enmity whatever toward these ones; however, I cannot accept their “ministry,” which tears down rather than builds up.
17我们的实行是按着新约中的真理。我们很高兴看到不同的弟兄们,以不同的方面或角度来交通到基督作生命,为要在祂的丰富里建造召会。……因着主的怜悯,我在作我所该作的。现在我期望别人能从不同的角度来供应同样的东西。……许多弟兄们需要站起来供应基督,为着建造身体。若有多人如此行,那该是何等的好!
17Our practice is according to the truth in the New Testament. We are glad to see different brothers share various aspects or angles concerning Christ as life for the building up of the church in His riches…By the Lord’s mercy, I am doing what I should do. Now I expect that others will minister the same thing from different angles…Many brothers need to stand up to minister concerning Christ for the building up of the Body. How wonderful it would be if many did this!
18我们需要清楚,我们并不是跟随一个人,也不是模仿任何人。然而,我们是从不同的角度,不同的方面来供应同样的东西。如此行,丰富就得以彰显;而我们却有荣耀的一。这是一个职事,其中包含了许多职事。现今我们都在供应那是生命和一切的基督,使地方召会得建造。这是主的恢复,这是我们的托付,这是我们的负担,也是我们的职事。我们能有分于这职事是何等的蒙福!(李常受文集一九七八年第三册,四四一至四四四页)
18We need to be clear that we are not following a man or imitating anyone. However, we are ministering the same thing from different angles and in different aspects. By doing this the riches are manifest; yet we have a glorious oneness. This is the one ministry, which encompasses many ministries. We all are ministering Christ as life and as everything for the building up of the local churches. This is the Lord’s recovery, this is our commission, this is our burden, and this is our ministry. How blessed we are to have a part in this ministry! (CWWL, 1978, vol. 3, “Truth Messages,” pp. 321-323)

今日要点
20主题:肢体尽生机的功用,为着建造基督的身体
20
21引经:林前一10弗四12
21
221.所有肢体的职事加起来,等于团体的职事:
22
23A.新约的职事是独一的职事,也是团体的职事,新约的职事是基督身体的事奉,并且因着身体上有许多肢体,所以每一个肢体都有其各自的职事,按肢体来说,有许多的职事,然而,按整个身体来说,只有一个职事,个人、肢体的职事,不能从团体、身体的职事分开,身体上所有肢体的职事加起来,就等于团体的职事。
23
24B.这意思是不是说,所有肢体都要作外面整齐划一地同样的事,说同样的话,眼有眼的功用,手有手的功用,耳有耳的功用,这些肢体各尽其职,就会叫整个身体尽功用,我们在这职事里都有一分,是一个职事,却有不同的功能,不同的角度,尽各自的功用,说一样的话,供应同样的东西,好叫身体得着建造。
24
252.各个肢体从不同的角度尽功用,为着独一的职事:
25
26A.我们都应该供应相同的东西,意思是我们应该按着新约的方式说同样的事,会有四卷福音书的原因,一面是基督有不同的身分,所以从君王、人、奴仆和神这四个方面来述说这位救主,但另一面,四卷福音书都是说到基督,却是从不同角度来说,使徒们被兴起,却根据他们的构成,而来说同一件事。
26
27B.我们不是要模仿某一个人,而是从不同的角度、不同的方面,却供应同样的东西,这样,基督的丰富得着彰显,另一面,基督身体的一也得着保守,我们都在供应基督,建造召会作基督的身体,所有在这样的职事之下的人,都要尽你那一分职事,然而,我们却不能接受那些不在新约职事之下,自称自己有职事的人,不接受他们所谓的职事。
27
28应用:借着这分职事,看见身体的异象,而学习作为一个正常、尽功用的肢体,受主引导,而尽传福音、或牧养人、或一切带进身体建造的服事,而在召会生活中尽上自己的那一分生机的功用,好为着独一职事的工作,使身体得着建造。
