20在哥林多前后书中保罗没有用同心合意一辞,但他确实强调说一样的话。一个人说他是属保罗的,另一个人说他是属亚波罗的,这指明他们不说一样的话。我们都必须说,“我是属基督的。”说“我是属保罗的”,或“我是属亚波罗的”,就像彼得在变化山上说,他要搭三座帐棚,一座为摩西,一座为以利亚,一座为耶稣。然而有声音从遮盖他们的云彩里出来,说,“这是我的爱子,你们要听祂。”他们忽然周围一看,不再见一人,只见耶稣同他们在那里(可九7~8)。我们都需要说一样的话。为什么要提起保罗、亚波罗和矶法?这就是为何保罗问哥林多人:“基督是分开的么?”(林前一13)在保罗给哥林多召会的第二封书信里,他也嘱咐他们“要思念相同的事”(林后十三11)。在保罗给腓立比人的书信里,他照样嘱咐圣徒要思念相同的事(腓二2,四2)(李常受文集一九八六年第一册,九六、一○○至一○一页)。 20In 1 and 2 Corinthians Paul does not use the phrase one accord, but he does stress speaking the same thing. For one person to say that he is of Paul and another to say that he is of Apollos indicates that they are not speaking the same thing. We all have to say, “I am of Christ.” To say “I am of Paul” or “I am of Apollos” is just like Peter on the Mount of Transfiguration saying that he would make three tabernacles—one for Moses, one for Elijah, and one for Jesus. Then a voice came out of the cloud that overshadowed them: “This is My Son, the Beloved. Hear Him!” And suddenly, “When they looked around, they no longer saw anyone, but Jesus only with them” (Mark 9:7-8). We all need to speak the same thing. Why should Paul, Apollos, and Cephas be mentioned? This is why Paul asked the Corinthians, “Is Christ divided?” (1 Cor. 1:13). In Paul’s second Epistle to the church in Corinth he also charged them to “think the same thing” (13:11). In his letter to the Philippians Paul likewise charged the saints to think the same thing (2:2; 4:2). (CWWL, 1986, vol. 1, “Elders’ Training, Book 7: One Accord for the Lord’s Move,” p. 81)
