纲目
1叁 “我们若在祂死的样式里与祂联合生长,也必要在祂复活的样式里与祂联合生长”——六5:
1
2一 “与祂联合生长”是生机的联结,在这联结里有生长发生,就是使一方有分于另一方的生命与特征——5节上。
2
3二 在这生机的联结里,凡基督所经历的,现今都成了我们的历史。
3
4三 祂的死与复活,现今是我们的,因为我们在祂里面,已经在生机上与祂联结;这就是接枝——十一24。
4
5四 这接枝能排除我们一切消极的元素,使我们身上神所造的功能得以复活,拔高我们的功能,充实我们的功能,浸透我们全人,以变化我们。
5
6五 基督之死的样式,就是罗马六章四节所说的浸;基督之复活的样式,就是四节所说生命的新样。
6
7六 “在祂复活的样式里” (5)不是指将来客观的复活,乃是指现今生长的过程。
7
8七 在受浸时,我们在基督死的样式里与祂联合生长;现今借着祂的死,我们长到祂的复活里。
8
9八 基督死的成分,如何只在祂里面,照样,基督复活的成分,也只在祂里面;祂自己就是复活——约十一25
9
10九 当我们经历正确的受浸以后,就在基督复活的样式里,继续在祂里面,与祂联合生长;这就是在生命的新样中生活行动——罗六4

11罗六5~6 我们若在祂死的样式里与祂联合生长,也必要在祂复活的样式里与祂联合生长;知道我们的旧人已经与祂同钉十字架,使罪的身体失效,叫我们不再作罪的奴仆。
11Rom. 6:5-6 For if we have grown together with Him in the likeness of His death, indeed we will also be in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that our old man has been crucified with Him in order that the body of sin might be annulled, that we should no longer serve sin as slaves.
12罗马六章五节启示一项真理的要点:信徒既在基督死的样式里与祂联合生长,也必要在祂复活的样式里与祂联合生长。这节包含了我们在基督里长大的两个步骤。第一个步骤已经发生了,第二个步骤还在进行中。一面,我们在受浸时已经与基督联合生长;另一面,我们要在祂复活的样式里,就是在生命的新样中,与祂联合生长(新约总论第十册,四八页)。
12Romans 6:5 reveals a crucial point of truth: the believers, having grown together with Christ in the likeness of His death, will grow together with Him also in the likeness of His resurrection. This verse includes two steps of our growth in Christ. The first step has already taken place, whereas the second step is progressive. On the one hand, we have grown together with Christ in baptism; on the other hand, we will be growing together with Him in the likeness of His resurrection, that is, in the newness of life. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, p. 3053)

13〔罗马六章五节〕里“死的样式”这辞,就是前一节所说的“浸”。浸就是基督死的样式;在受浸里,我们与基督联合生长。“联合生长”这辞叫翻译的人很为难。然而,我们若仔细来看原文的意思,就不会有难处。译为“联合生长”的希腊原文用于路加八章七节,说到与麦子一同生长的荆棘。同样,我们与基督一同生长。我们浸入基督,就一面说我们被治死,就另一面说我们开始生长。这与将种子撒在地里非常相似。表面上种子撒播下去,实际上它开始生长。我们被放入水中的时候,就像种子种到土里;受浸乃是属灵生长最好的土壤。借着浸入基督,我们都在基督死的样式里与祂一同生长。
13The phrase likeness of His death in Romans 6:5 refers to the baptism mentioned in verse 4. Baptism is the likeness of the death of Christ. In baptism, we have grown together with Christ. The phrase grown together has presented a challenge to many translators. However, if we adhere to the meaning of the Greek word, there will be no difficulty. The Greek word translated as “grown together” is used in Luke 8:7 to speak of the thorns that grew up together with the wheat. Similarly, we have grown together with Christ. When we were baptized into Christ, in one sense we were put to death; in another sense we began to grow. This very much resembles the sowing of a seed into the earth. Apparently, the seed is sown; actually, it begins to grow. When we were placed in the water, we were like a seed planted in soil. Baptism is the best soil for spiritual growth. By being baptized into Christ we have all grown together with Christ in the likeness of His death.
14保罗认为受浸是我们生命长大的一个步骤〔罗六5〕。我们在受浸时,不仅被埋葬进入死,也开始生长。虽然我们用人的心思无法充分明白,这却是事实。重要的点是:受浸乃是与基督联合生长。
14Paul regards baptism as a step in our growth in life [Rom. 6:5]. In baptism we were not only buried into death, but we also began to grow. This is a fact, even though we cannot adequately understand it with our human mind. The important point is that to be baptized is to grow together with Christ.
15基督在信徒里的生长是个奥秘,正如与生命有关的事总是个奥秘。受浸是一个生长的过程,与胎儿在母腹里的生长过程类似。……在受浸中,信徒也在基督死的样式里与祂联合生长,这真是奇妙。我们不该轻看信徒被摆在水里并经过水的那一刻,因为在那一刻他们是在基督死的样式里与祂联合生长。他们的受浸完成时,他们就已经在基督死的样式里与祂联合生长。受浸不是无关紧要的事。尽管受浸看来是个形式,将人浸入耶稣基督里会导致极大的改变—那灵使基督在受浸的信徒里生长。
15The growth of Christ in the believers is a mystery, just as matters related to life are always a mystery. Baptism is a process of growth similar to the process of human growth in the mother’s womb…It is marvelous that just as in human conception fetuses grow into the likeness of their parents, in baptism the believers grow with Christ in the likeness of His death. We should not despise that moment when the believers are put into and pass through water, for at that moment they are growing with Christ in the likeness of His death. After their baptism is completed, they have grown together with Christ in the likeness of His death. Baptism is not an insignificant matter. Regardless of how formal a baptism might be, baptizing people into Jesus Christ results in a great change—the Spirit causes the growth of Christ in the baptized believer.
16我们在传扬基督耶稣时,必须领悟在我们所传的话里有那灵。……我们传扬话语,必须相信我们是在传扬耶和华的话、活神的话和耶稣基督的话。此外,话就是灵(约六63)。我们向人传扬话语,带他们得救,将他们浸入水里,圣灵会尊重这样的受浸,叫基督在他们里面生长。当一个罪人听见福音、相信、祷告,并且知道自己是个得救的人而承认救恩,我们就该将他浸入受浸的水里。浸入水里是一个表记,指明他被浸到经过过程的三一神里,就是浸入与三一神的联结里。人如此被摆进三一神里,是为着使他与基督—三一神的具体化身(西二9)—联合生长。因此,新人相信主耶稣之后,我们该相信受浸的功效,立刻为他施浸(新约总论第十册,四八至五○页)。
16When we preach Christ Jesus, we have to realize that in the word we preach, there is the Spirit…When we preach the word, we must have faith that we are preaching the word of Jehovah, the word of the living God, and the word of Jesus Christ. Moreover, the word is the Spirit (John 6:63). When we preach the word to others, lead them to salvation, and baptize them into the water, the Holy Spirit will honor this baptism by causing the growth of Christ within them. When a sinner hears the gospel, believes, prays, and acknowledges salvation by recognizing that he is a saved person, we should put him into the water of baptism. Being baptized into the water is a sign indicating that he is being baptized into the processed Triune God, that is, immersed into the union with the Triune God. For him to be put into the Triune God in this way is for him to grow with Christ, the embodiment of the Triune God (Col. 2:19). Therefore, after a new convert believes in the Lord Jesus, we should baptize him immediately, believing in the effectiveness of baptism. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 3053-3055)

今日要点
18主题:在基督死和复活的样式里,与祂联合生长
18
19引经:罗六5~6
19
201.认识并宝贝「联合生长」的启示:
20
21A.保罗在罗六5~6继续说,『我们若在祂死的样式里与祂联合生长,也必要在祂复活的样式里与祂联合生长;知道我们的旧人已经与祂同钉十字架,使罪的身体失效,叫我们不再作罪的奴仆』,按着上下文,六5里「死的样式」这词,就是4节所说的「浸」,浸就是基督死的样式,在受浸里,我们与基督联合生长。
21
22B.「联合生长」的希腊字,源自「联合」与「生长」这二个希腊字,在罗六5为形容词,而在路八7为动词,在1611年出版的英王钦定本,翻译为planted together,但1919年出版的和合本,却没有参考英文钦定本,其中罗六5并没有如路八7一样,翻译为一同生长,仅翻译为「与祂联合」,没有把生长的意思翻译出来,而恢复本中文则忠实完整地翻译为「联合生长」。
22
232.基督的死与复活,借着受浸都成为我们的经历:
23
24A.与祂联合生长,乃是生机的联结,在这联结里有生长发生,就是是一方有分于另一方的生命与特征,因此,我们与基督联合生长,意思就是,凡基督所经历的,现今都成了我们的历史,我们在祂「死的样式」与「复活的样式」里与祂联合生长,意思就是,祂的死与复活,现今是我们的,因为我们在祂里面,已经在生机上与祂联结,这就是接枝。
24
25B.保罗会这样一路讲下来,指出他认为,受浸是我们生命长大的一个步骤,在受浸时,我们不仅被埋葬浸入死,也开始生长,可以说,受浸乃是与基督一同联合生长,我们不该认为受浸仅是一个外面的形式或仪式,受浸不是无关紧要的事,受浸那一刻,我们是在基督死的样式里与祂联合生长,我们也在复活的样式里与基督联合生长,这也就是罗六4所说,生命的新样。
25
26应用:我们要在生活中被主的话所充满并浸透,使白纸黑字的圣经,发出亮光,成为主对我个人、主观所经历,对我们所说的话,并且借着传福音之前,有被圣灵充满并充溢的祷告,而我们在传扬基督耶稣时,在我们所传的话里有那灵供应到人里面,使人产生信而受浸。
