18两千年来,若是事奉主的人,一直让圣灵往前去,召会早已成熟。……求主怜悯我们,……我们蒙拯救有多少,召会扩展出去就有多少,召会建立也就有多少(李常受文集一九五六年第二册,三四六、三四九、三五二至三五三、三五五、三六九页)。
18Over the past two thousand years, if the servants of the Lord had always allowed the Holy Spirit to go forward, the church would have matured long ago…May the Lord have mercy on us…The degree to which we are saved is the degree to which the church can spread and be built up. (CWWL, 1956, vol. 2, “Three Aspects of the Church, Book 2: The Course of the Church,” pp. 265, 267, 269-271, 279-280)
