15在以弗所三章……保罗祷告,求父借着祂的灵,用大能使我们得以加强到里面的人里。这大能,就是一章十九至二十二节所提到的,乃是使基督从死人中复活,叫祂在诸天界里坐在神的右边,将万有服在基督的脚下,以及使基督向着召会作万有的头的能力。这样的大能运行在我们里面(三20),神也用这大能加强我们,为着祂的建造。神所借以加强我们的那灵,乃是经过过程之三一神的终极完成。一面,神用祂自己作元素加强我们;另一面,我们提供养分。借着这二者,神在基督里就在我们的全人里完成祂内在的建造,就是建造祂的家(撒母耳记生命读经,二四一至二四三页)。
15[In Ephesians 3] Paul prayed that the Father would strengthen us with power through His Spirit into our inner man. This power, referred to in Ephesians 1:19-22, is the power that raised Christ from the dead, seated Christ at the right hand of God in the heavenlies, subjected all things under Christ’s feet, and gave Christ to be Head over all things to the church. Such power operates in us (3:20), and with it God strengthens us for His building. The Spirit through whom God strengthens us is the consummation of the processed Triune God. On the one hand, God strengthens us with Himself as the element, and on the other hand, we afford the nutrients. Through these two God in Christ carries out His intrinsic building—the building of His home—in our entire being. (Lifestudy of 1 & 2 Samuel, pp. 197-198)
