6在神圣三一里有许多神圣的优越、神圣的美德和神圣的属性,诸如合一、谦卑、美丽以及和谐。……在马太十二章二十八节,主说,“我〔子〕若靠着神〔三一神,包括父〕的灵赶鬼,这就是神〔三一神〕的国临到你们了。”……难道主耶稣不能靠着自己赶鬼么?……祂那时是在骄傲、自私、单独的法利赛人中间。他们不肯与任何人一同工作。在他们中间没有谦卑,并且他们满了自利、自私。现在有一位他们所定罪的,站在他们面前,告诉他们说,祂以不同的方式作了一件事。……祂不是单独的。……祂乃是靠着神的灵作事,为着神的国作事。祂从未靠自己或为自己作什么。这岂不是很美么?这给我们看见神圣三一里的优越(李常受文集一九八八年第一册,四二三至四二四页)。
6Within the Divine Trinity there are many divine excellencies, divine virtues, and divine attributes, such as oneness, humility, beauty, and harmony. In Matthew 12:28 the Lord said, “If I [the Son], by the Spirit of God [the Triune God including the Father], cast out the demons, then the kingdom of God [the Triune God] has come upon you.”…Couldn’t the Lord Jesus have cast out these demons by Himself?…At that time He was among the Pharisees, who were proud, selfish, and individualistic. They would not work with anyone else. There was no humility among them, and they were full of self-seeking, selfishness. Now there was One, condemned by them and standing in front of them, telling them that He did something in a different way…He was not individualistic…He was doing something by the Spirit of God and for the kingdom of God. He never did anything by Himself or for Himself. Is this not beautiful? This shows us the excellency in the Divine Trinity. (CWWL, 1988, vol. 1, “Living in and with the Divine Trinity,” pp. 307-308)
