15马太十八章十九节用了sumphoneo,舒封尼欧,这个希腊字,来指明同心合意。这字的意思是和谐的,一致的,指乐器或人发声所产生和谐的声调。……当我们同心合意时,在神眼中,我们对祂就成了一首乐曲。我们成了一篇诗章,不仅是文字的,更是有声音、有曲调的。……这样的同心合意乃是一的核仁。……行传一章十四节用另一个希腊字来指同心合意:homothumadon,何莫突玛顿,由homo,何莫,意相同,和thumos,突莫斯,意心思、意志、目的(魂、心)组成;指整个人内里感觉的和谐(李常受文集一九九一至一九九二年第三册,五四一页)。
15In Matthew 18:19 the Greek word sumphoneo is used to signify the one accord. It means “to be in harmony, or accord” and refers to the harmonious sound of musical instruments or voices…When we have the one accord, in the eyes of God we become a melody to Him. We become a poem not merely in writing but in sound, in voice, in melody…Such a one accord is the nucleus of the oneness…In Acts 1:14 another Greek word, homothumadon, is used to signify the one accord. This word is from homo, “same,” and thumos, “mind, will, purpose (soul, heart).” The word denotes a harmony of inward feeling in one’s entire being.
