14在永远里,新耶路撒冷是基督的妻子。在婚娶的日子,妻子是新妇,但过了婚娶的日子,妻子就不再是新妇,只是妻子而已。……在将来永远里的新耶路撒冷,要包括其他所有经过国度时代之管教而得成全,在神圣生命上成熟的圣徒(2、12、14)。这要成为经过过程的三一神在所有重生、变化并得荣之三部分圣徒里面,同着他们,并借着他们而有的永远彰显,达到最丰满的地步(10~11)(李常受文集一九九一至一九九二年第四册,三五九至三六一页)。
14In eternity the New Jerusalem will be the wife of Christ. On the wedding day the wife is the bride, but after the wedding day she is no longer the bride but simply the wife…The New Jerusalem in eternity future will be with the addition of all the saints perfected for their maturity in the divine life through the discipline in the kingdom age (vv. 2, 12, 14). This will be for the eternal expression, to its fullest extent, of the processed Triune God in, with, and through all the regenerated, transformed, and glorified tripartite saints in eternity (vv. 10-11).
