19所以一面说,人要有属灵的争战,来解决神的难处,必须先对付肉体、自己和魂生命,先解决自己的难处;另一面说,人要有属灵的争战,必须先认识身体,而要认识身体,活在身体里,也必须先对付肉体、自己和魂生命。所以不论是从争战一面说,或是从认识一面说,都需要人经过前三层的对付,脱离了肉体、自己和魂生命,而达到第四层的生命经历才可以(李文集一九五三年第三册,六四九至六五一页)。
19On one hand, we say that if we want to fight the spiritual warfare and deal with God’s difficulty, we must first deal with our flesh, self, and soul-life, thus solving our own difficulties; on the other hand, we say that in order to fight the battle, we must first know the Body, and in order to know the Body and live in the Body, we must first deal with our flesh, self, and soul-life. Whether, therefore, we speak from the standpoint of fighting the warfare or knowing the Body, we all must first pass through the preceding three stages—coming out of the flesh, the self, and the soul-life—in order to attain to the fourth stage of the experience of life.
