11保罗实在是这样一个管家，执行他的管家职分，把神丰富的恩典，就是基督那无限量的丰富分赐出去。所以保罗的管家职分就是神经纶的实行。经纶这辞在以弗所三章九节翻作经纶，但是在二节却翻作管家职分。……神的家政，就是神在宇宙家族中的这一个行政，乃是要来分赐神在基督里那无限量的丰富。保罗蒙了特别的恩典，受了特别的托付，也从神得到了特别的运作，就把基督追测不尽的丰富，传给神所拣选的外邦人，这个就是他的管家职分。所以管家的职分就是神的经纶。……召会乃是建造在使徒和申言者的根基上，就是在他们所看见的启示，所看见的异象上。如同主耶稣在马太十六章所说的话一样，主要把祂的召会建造在这磐石上〔18〕，这磐石还不重在这磐石的本身，乃是重在所看见的那个磐石的异象。彼得回答主说，“你是基督，是活神的儿子。”（16）……使徒们所看见的异象、启示乃是召会被建造的基础。在这个基础上以基督各面的丰富，就是基督无限量的丰富来建造；基督那无限量的丰富，就是神无限量的恩典（李文集一九九○年第三册，六○九至六一一页）。
11The apostle Paul was indeed such a steward. He exercised his stewardship to dispense God’s rich grace, that is, the unsearchable riches of Christ, to others. Hence, Paul’s stewardship was the execution of God’s economy. In Ephesians 3:9 the word oikonomia is translated “economy,” whereas in 3:2 it is translated “stewardship.”…God’s economy, God’s universal household administration, is to distribute God’s unlimited riches in Christ. Paul says that he received a special commission, a special grace, and a special operation to transmit the unsearchable riches of Christ to the Gentiles chosen by God. This was his stewardship. Hence, the stewardship is God’s economy…The church is built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets. This means that it is built on the revelation and the vision that they saw. This is similar to what the Lord Jesus said in Matthew 16:18. He would build His church upon “this rock.” That rock is not mainly the rock itself but the revelation concerning the rock. Peter told the Lord, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God” (v. 16)…The revelation and vision that the apostles saw is the foundation for the building up of the church. Upon this foundation are built all the riches of Christ. These are the unsearchable riches of Christ. The unsearchable riches of Christ are the unlimited grace of God.
