纲目
1肆 圣别的祭司体系,也就是配搭的祭司团,乃是建造起来之属灵的殿;神要得着一个属灵的殿给祂居住,以及一个祭司团,一个团体的祭司体系,来事奉祂——彼前二5出十九5~6
1
2一 我们“是蒙拣选的族类,是君尊的祭司体系,是圣别的国度,是买来作产业的子民”(彼前二9)——蒙拣选的族类,指我们是源于神的;君尊的祭司体系,指我们是事奉神的;圣别的国度,指我们是为着神一同生活的团体;买来作产业的子 民,指我们对神是宝贵的。
2
3二 我们团体的祭司事奉,乃是宣扬那召我们出黑暗、入祂奇妙之光者的美德(9)作福音,使我们“借着耶稣基督献上神所悦纳的属灵祭物”(5下);这些属灵的祭物乃是:
3
41 基督作旧约预表中一切祭物的实际,如燔祭、素祭、平安祭、赎罪祭、赎愆祭等——利一~五。
4
52 我们借福音所救来作基督肢体的罪人——罗十五16
5
63 我们的身体、赞美并为神所作的事——十二1来十三15~16腓四18

7彼前二5 〔你们〕也……被建造成为属灵的殿,成为圣别的祭司体系,借着耶稣基督献上神所悦纳的属灵祭物。
71 Pet. 2:5 You yourselves also…are being built up as a spiritual house into a holy priesthood to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
89 ……你们是蒙拣选的族类,是君尊的祭司体系,是圣别的国度,是买来作产业的子民,要叫你们宣扬那召你们出黑暗、入祂奇妙之光者的美德。
89 …You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people acquired for a possession, so that you may tell out the virtues of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.
9在彼前二章五节……属灵的,指明神的生命生活并长大的性能;圣别的,指明神的性情分别并圣别的性能。神的殿主要的是借神的生命得维系,因此是属灵的;祭司的体系主要的是借神的性情得维系,因此是圣别的。
9In 1 Peter 2:5…spiritual denotes the capacity of the divine life to live and grow; holy, the capacity of the divine nature to separate and sanctify. The house of God subsists mainly by the divine life; hence, it is spiritual. The priesthood subsists mainly by the divine nature; hence, it is holy.
10配搭的祭司团就是建造起来的属灵的殿。虽然彼得的两封书信不是写给召会的,他在彼前二章五节强调信徒的团体生活时,也未用到召会一辞,但他的确用“属灵的殿”和“圣别的祭司体系”这些辞,以指明召会的生活。不是个人的属灵生活,乃是团体的属灵生活,才能完成神的定旨,满足祂的心意。神要得着一个属灵的殿给祂居住,得着一个祭司团,一个祭司体系事奉祂。……这团体的事奉乃是出自属灵生命三个要紧的阶段:重生(2上),靠基督的滋养长大(2下),以及同被建造(彼得前书生命读经,一八四至一八五页)。
10The coordinated body of priests is the built-up spiritual house. Although Peter did not address his two Epistles to the church or use the term church in verse 5 in stressing the corporate life of the believers, he did use the terms spiritual house and holy priesthood to indicate the church life. It is not the spiritual life lived in an individualistic way but the spiritual life lived in a corporate way that can fulfill God’s purpose and satisfy His desire. He wants a spiritual house for His dwelling, a priestly body, a priesthood, for His service…This service issues from the three vital steps in the spiritual life: being born anew (1 Pet. 1:2), growing in life by being nourished with Christ, and being built up with the believers. (Life-study of 1 Peter, pp. 154155)

Today’s Reading
11属灵的殿和圣别的祭司体系是同义辞。属灵的殿是作神的居所,圣别的祭司体系是为着事奉神。照着彼前二章五节,属灵的殿建造成为圣别的祭司体系,是为着特别的功用。……这里我们看见,耶稣基督是属灵祭物借以献给神的管道。……不但如此,凡献给神的必须是出于基督的东西。
11Spiritual house and holy priesthood are synonymous terms. The spiritual house is for God’s dwelling, and the holy priesthood is for God’s service. According to 1 Peter 2:5, the building up of a spiritual house into a holy priesthood is for a particular function…Here we see that Jesus Christ is the channel through which the spiritual sacrifices are offered to God…Furthermore, what is offered to God must be something of Christ.
12信徒在新约时代,照着神经纶所献的属灵祭物乃是:基督作旧约预表中一切祭物的实际,如燔祭、素祭、平安祭、赎罪祭、赎愆祭等(利一~五);我们借福音所救来作基督肢体的罪人(罗十五16);我们的身体、赞美并为神所作的事(十二1来十三15~16腓四18)。
12The spiritual sacrifices that the believers offer in the New Testament age according to God’s economy are (1) Christ as the reality of all the sacrifices of the Old Testament types, such as the burnt offering, meal offering, peace offering, sin offering, and trespass offering (Lev. 1—5); (2) the sinners saved by our gospel preaching, offered as members of Christ (Rom. 15:16); and (3) our body, our praises, and the things that we do for God (Heb. 13:15-16; Phil. 4:18).
13在彼前二章九节……族类、祭司体系、国度和子民都是集合名词,指集体的信徒。作族类,信徒已经蒙拣选;作祭司体系,祭司团,我们是君尊的;作国度,我们是圣别的;作子民,我们是神的产业,是神特别买来并据有,作祂奇珍的产业(多二14)。蒙拣选的族类,指我们是源于神的;君尊的祭司体系,指我们是事奉神的;圣别的国度,指我们是为着神一同生活的团体;买来作产业的子民,指我们对神是宝贵的。这些都有团体之意,因此我们需要建造在一起。
13In 1 Peter 2:9…race, priesthood, nation, and people are all collective nouns, referring to the believers corporately. As a race, we, the believers, are chosen; as a priesthood, a body of priests, we are royal, kingly; as a nation, we are holy; as a people, we are God’s possession, a possession particularly acquired and owned by God as His treasure. Chosen race denotes our lineage from God; royal priesthood, our service to God; holy nation, our being a community for God; and people acquired for a possession, our preciousness to God. These are all in a corporate sense. Hence, we need to be built together.
14我们是蒙拣选的族类,起源于神。我们也是君尊的祭司体系。君尊,指我们祭司的身分是君尊的,就如麦基洗德所预表我们的大祭司,君王基督的身分(来七1~226创十四18)。我们也是圣别的国度,和买来作产业的子民。圣别,指国度的性质。“买来作产业的子民”一辞的希腊原文,等于希伯来文的一种说法,……含示一种奇珍。……在提多书二章十四节,保罗说到“成为独特的子民”。这是一种取自旧约的说法(申七6十四2二六18),指神自己所特有的子民,作祂的奇珍(出十九5—和合本之子民,原文意奇特的所有物,奇珍),祂自己的产业。首先我们是蒙拣选的族类,然后是君尊的祭司体系,圣别的国度,和买来作产业的子民。作为神的奇珍,我们是祂宝贵的子民(彼得前书生命读经,一八五至一八七页)。
14As a chosen race, we have our source in God. We are also a royal priesthood. Royal denotes the status of our priesthood, which is kingly, like that of Christ the King, our High Priest, typified by Melchizedek (Heb. 7:1-2, 26; Gen. 14:18). We are also a holy nation and a people acquired for a possession. Holy denotes the nature of the nation. The Greek words rendered “a people acquired for a possession” are an equivalent to a Hebrew expression [that]…implies a particular treasure…In Titus 2:14 Paul speaks of “a particular people as His unique possession.”…This is an expression borrowed from the Old Testament (Deut. 7:6; 14:2; 26:18), and it denotes a people privately possessed by God as His unique, peculiar treasure (Exo. 19:5), His own possession. First, we are a chosen race, then a royal priesthood, a holy nation, and a people acquired for a possession. As God’s particular treasure, we are His people who are precious to Him.

今日要点
16主题:生命的长大,带进建造成为属灵的殿和圣别的祭司体系
16
171.成为属灵的殿与圣别的祭司体系:
17
18A.彼前二5说,『也就像活石,被建造成为属灵的殿,成为圣别的祭司体系,借着耶稣基督献上神所悦纳的属灵祭物』,这里的形容词「属灵的」,指明神的生命生活并长大的性能,此外,「圣别的」,指明神的性情分别并圣别的性能,神的殿主要的是借着神的生命得维系,因此是「属灵的」,祭司体系主要是借着神的性情得维系,所以是「圣别的」。
18
19B.虽然彼得是写信给散居、寄居的犹太信徒,对象似乎是给个人的,不是给召会的,但是,彼得用属灵的「殿」和圣别的祭司「体系」这些词,足以指明召会的生活,而非个人的属灵生活,乃是团体的属灵生活,才能完成神的定旨,满足神的心意,惟有属灵的殿给祂居住,祂才有安息,惟有一个祭司团,一个团体的祭司体系,才能事奉祂。
19
202.宣扬神的美德,献上属灵祭物:
20
21A.彼得接着在9节上半说到,『惟有你们是蒙拣选的族类,是君尊的祭司体系,是圣别的国度,是买来作产业的子民』;蒙拣选的族类,指我们是源于神的,君尊的祭司体系,指我们是事奉神的,圣别的国度,指我们是为着神一同生活的团体,买来作产业的子民,指我们对神是宝贵的。
21
22B.9节下半接着说,『要叫你们宣扬那召你们出黑暗、入祂奇妙之光者的美德』,我们的事奉,该是去宣扬那召我们出黑暗、入祂奇妙之光者的美德,作为福音,使我们借着耶稣基督献上神所悦纳的属灵祭物,包括基督作旧约预表中一切祭物的实际,也包括我们借着福音所救来作为基督肢体的罪人,也包括我们所献上的身体、赞美、并一切为神所作的事。
22
23应用:每周分别一个时段,与圣徒一同配搭,成为神新约福音的祭司,借着传福音,宣扬神的美德,使人受吸引,能够与我们一样脱黑暗,进入光中,领人归主,献上神所悦纳的外邦人作为属灵祭物。
