6在腓立比一章二十一节保罗宣告:“在我,活着就是基督。”这句话是保罗内里实际的见证。但活基督之生活的真正彰显是什么?这彰显见于四章五至九节所列的美德。同样的原则,在二章保罗说明基督是我们的榜样。……照着这榜样所过生活的彰显会是什么?这彰显就在四章五至九节。关于保罗在三章所说,将万事看作亏损,甚至看作粪土,以赢得基督,也是这样。人若定罪哲学,弃绝文化,抛弃宗教,将这些看作粪土,为要赢得基督,他的生活将会有怎样的彰显?我们要再指出,这彰显乃见于四章五至九节(腓立比书生命读经,二六八至二六九页)。
6In Philippians 1:21 Paul declares, “To me, to live is Christ.” This statement is a testimony of Paul’s inner reality. But what is the real expression of a life that lives Christ? This expression is found in the virtues listed in 4:5-9. In the same principle, in chapter 2 Paul sets forth Christ as our pattern…What will be the expression of a life that lives according to this pattern? The expression is in 4:5-9. The same is true with respect to Paul’s word in chapter 3 concerning counting all things as loss, even refuse, in order to gain Christ. What kind of expression will there be in a person’s life if that one condemns philosophy, rejects culture, and renounces religion, counting them as refuse in order to gain Christ?…Again…the expression is seen in 4:5-9.
