1壹 信徒由活石所象征，他们由基督石头的性情所变化，成为神属灵的殿—彼前二4~5：
1Ⅰ The believers are symbolized by living stones, those who are transformed with Christ's stone nature to be God's spiritual house—1 Pet. 2:4-5:
2一 我们这些在基督里的信徒，借着重生和变化，成了活石，像基督一样；我们原是用泥土造的（罗九21），但在重生时，得着神圣生命的种子（彼前一23~24），这种子在我们里面长大，就把我们变化为活石：
2A We, the believers in Christ, are living stones, like Christ, through regeneration and transformation; we were created of clay (Rom. 9:21), but at regeneration we received the seed of the divine life (1 Pet. 1:23-24), which by its growing in us, transforms us into living stones:
3１ 彼得悔改信主时，主给他取了一个新名，就是彼得—石头（约一42）；当他得着关于基督的启示之后，主进一步启示祂是磐石—石头（太十六16~18）。
3１ At Peter's conversion the Lord gave him a new name—Peter—a stone (John 1:42), and when Peter received the revelation concerning Christ, the Lord revealed further that He was the rock—a stone (Matt. 16:16-18).
4２ 这两件事给彼得深刻的印象，就是基督和祂的信徒都是为着神的建造的石头—彼前二4~5。
4２ By these two incidents Peter received the impression that both Christ and His believers are stones for God's building—1 Pet. 2:4-5.

5彼前二4~5 你们来到祂这为人所弃绝，却为神所拣选所宝贵的活石跟前，也就像活石，被建造成为属灵的殿，成为圣别的祭司体系，借着耶稣基督献上神所悦纳的属灵祭物。
51 Pet. 2:4-5 Coming to Him, a living stone, rejected by men but with God chosen and precious, you yourselves also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house into a holy priesthood to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
6在新约里，信徒……由石头所象征，并被称为活石（彼前二5）。这些活石实际上就是被变化的罪人。
6In the New Testament the believers are…symbolized by stones and are called living stones (1 Pet. 2:5). These living stones are actually transformed sinners.
7主耶稣首次看见彼得时说，“你是约翰的儿子西门，你要称为矶法（矶法翻出来，就是彼得）。”〔约一42〕彼得意即石头，石头的意义乃指一种变化的工作，为着神的建造产生材料（林前三12）。约翰一章四十二节的石头，象征在基督里的信徒，由神而生以后，因着接受祂而重生（12~13），被变化成为活的宝石。这是为着召会，神家的建造（太十六18）。
7When the Lord Jesus first looked at Peter, He said, “You are Simon, the son of John; you shall be called Cephas (which is interpreted, Peter [meaning ‘a stone’])” [John 1:42]. The significance of a stone is that it denotes a work of transformation to bring forth material for God’s building (1 Cor. 3:12). The stone in John 1:42 signifies the believers in Christ, after being born of God, regenerated by receiving Him (vv. 12-13) to be transformed into living precious stones. This is for the building of the church, the house of God (Matt. 16:18).
8我们这些在基督里的信徒，借着重生和变化，成了活石，像基督一样（彼前二4~5上）。我们原是用泥土造的（罗九21），但在重生时，得着了神圣生命的种子，这种子在我们里面长大，就把我们变化为活石。彼得悔改信主时，主给他取了一个新名，就是彼得—石头（约一42）；当他得着关于基督的启示之后，主进一步启示祂也是磐石—石头（太十六16~18）。这两件事给彼得深刻的印象，就是基督和祂的信徒都是为着神的建造的石头（新约总论第五册，一二七至一二八页）。
8We, the believers in Christ, are living stones, like Christ (1 Pet. 2:4), through regeneration and transformation. We were created of clay (Rom. 9:21). But at regeneration we received the seed of the divine life, which by its growth in us transforms us into living stones. At Peter’s conversion the Lord gave him a new name, Peter—a stone. When Peter received the revelation concerning Christ, the Lord revealed further that He also was the rock—a stone (Matt. 16:16-18). Peter was impressed by these two incidents that both Christ and His believers are stones for God’s building. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 1170-1171)

9神在信徒身上的目标，是要得着用活石所建造的殿〔彼前二5〕。祂不要分开、离散的石头，甚至不要一堆仅仅放在一起的石头。祂要的是彼此建造的石头。
9God’s goal in the believers is to have a house built up with living stones [1 Pet. 2:5]. He does not want separated and scattered stones, nor even a pile of stones merely gathered together. He wants stones built up with one another.
10我们被建造成的属灵的殿，乃是神的建筑。至终，这建筑要完成于新耶路撒冷。……我们现今正变化成宝石，这些宝石将要被建造到新耶路撒冷里（新约总论第五册，一二八至一二九页）。
10The spiritual house into which we are being built is God’s building. Eventually, this building will consummate in the New Jerusalem…We are now becoming the precious stones that will be built up into the New Jerusalem. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, p. 1171)
11凭着我们天然的出生，我们是泥土，不是石头。……人是用地上的尘土造的〔创二7〕。罗马九章启示，我们是土造的器皿。那么，我们如何能成为石头？我们乃是借着变化的过程而成为石头。
11By our natural birth we are clay, not stones…Man was made from the dust of the ground [Gen. 2:7] . Romans 9 reveals that we are vessels of clay. How, then, can we become stones? We become stones through the process of transformation.
12主称彼得为石头，那就是说，他必会成为石头。无论主对我们说什么，都必成就。祂若说，“你是金子，”你就会成为金子。主知道祂将西门的名字改为彼得（即石头），他就会成为石头。
12When the Lord called…Peter a stone, that meant that he would certainly become a stone. Whatever the Lord says to us will be fulfilled. If He says, “You are gold,” then you will be golden. The Lord knew that when He changed Simon’s name to Peter, a stone, he would become a stone.
13在约翰一章四十二节，主告诉彼得他是石头。后来在该撒利亚腓立比，主问：“你们说我是谁？”彼得从父得着启示，回答说，“你是基督，是活神的儿子。”对此主耶稣回答说，“我还告诉你，你是彼得，我要把我的召会建造在这磐石上。”（太十六18）这里主指明祂是召会在其上建造的磐石，而彼得是石头。
13In John 1:42 Peter was told that he was a stone. Then sometime later, in Caesarea Philippi, in answer to the Lord’s question, “Who do you say that I am?” Peter, receiving the revelation from the Father, said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” To this the Lord Jesus replied, “And I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church” (Matt. 16:18). Here the Lord indicated that He is the rock upon which the church is built and that Peter is a stone.
14我们都是泥土。我们如何能被建造？要被建造成为属灵的殿，我们需要成为石头。但我们如何能真正成为活石？我们乃是借着来到基督这活石跟前（彼前二4），而成为活石。
14We all are clay. How can we be built up? In order to be built up as a spiritual house, we need to become stones. But how can we actually become living stones? We become living stones by coming to Christ as the living stone (1 Pet. 2:4).
15我们可用木化石作变化的例证。……木化石是已变成石头的木头。水长期流过并流经木头。借着这水流，木头的本质就变成石头。一面，木头的元素被带走；另一面，石头的元素被带进来顶替木头的元素。这样，木头就成为石头（彼得前书生命读经，一八○至一八一页）。
15We may use petrified wood as an illustration of transformation…Petrified wood is wood that has been changed into stone. Over a long period of time, water has been flowing over wood and through it. By means of this flow of water, the substance of the wood is changed into stone. On the one hand, the element of wood is carried away; on the other hand, the element of stone is brought in to replace the element of wood. In this way the wood becomes stone. (Life-study of 1 Peter, pp. 151-152)
