基督─神的奥秘

Christ — the mystery of God
1读经: 歌罗西书二章二至三节,九节,一章十九节。
1Scripture Reading: Col. 2:2-3, 9; 1:19
2在歌罗西二章二节的末了,保罗说到“完全认识神的奥秘,就是基督”。以弗所书是讲基督的奥秘,就是召会─身体;(三4;)本书是讲神的奥秘,就是基督─头。我们要认识基督不仅是我们的救主和主,也是神的奥秘,这是紧要的。
2At the end of 2:2 Paul speaks of the “full knowledge of the mystery of God, Christ.” The book of Ephesians is on the mystery of Christ, which is the church, the Body (Eph. 3:4). This book is on the mystery of God, which is Christ, the Head. It is crucial that we know Christ not only as our Savior and Lord, but also as the mystery of God.
3所有的基督徒都爱主耶稣,差别只在于他们爱主的程度。甚至一个冷淡退后的信徒多多少少也有点爱主。我们爱主有多少,在于我们认识祂有多少,以及我们对祂的体验有多少。譬如,一个孩子也许珍赏装钻戒的盒子过于钻戒本身。这显示出爱的程度取决于珍赏的程度。我们越认识主耶稣,越珍赏祂,我们就越爱祂。因此,我们需要往前认识主耶稣不仅是救主和主,也是神的奥秘。
3All Christians love the Lord Jesus. The only difference among them in this matter is the degree of their love for Him. Even a backsliding believer loves the Lord to a certain extent. How much we love the Lord depends on how much we know Him and how much we realize concerning Him. For example, a child may appreciate a little box made to contain a diamond ring more than the ring itself. This shows that the degree of love is determined by the degree of appreciation. The more we know the Lord Jesus and appreciate Him, the more we shall love Him. Hence, we need to go on to know the Lord Jesus not only as our Savior and Lord, but also as the mystery of God.
4我们若要认识基督是神的奥秘,就需要对歌罗西二章二节所说的每一件事都有充分的经历。保罗在这一节说,“要叫他们的心得安慰,在爱里结合一起,以致丰丰富富的在悟性上有充分的确信,能以完全认识神的奥秘,就是基督。”“以致”的意思是“结果就是”。如果歌罗西人的心受安慰,并在爱里结合一起,结果就是他们丰丰富富的在悟性上有充分的确信;这悟性无疑是与神的奥秘─基督─有关的。
4If we would know Christ as the mystery of God, we need to have the full experience of everything covered in 2:2. In this verse Paul says, “That their hearts may be comforted, being knit together in love and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, unto the full knowledge of the mystery of God, Christ.” The word “unto” means “resulting in.” If the hearts of the Colossians were comforted and knit together in love, the result would be all the riches of the full assurance of understanding, an understanding no doubt related to the mystery of God, Christ.
需要操练我们的全人
The need to exercise our whole being
5我们若不操练灵,就不能接触主,也无法认识祂是神的奥秘。我们要看见,我们整个人都需要操练。人的每一面─灵、魂、体─都是复杂的。若是你花一点时间照照镜子,你就会希奇你这肉身的复杂。人不是个简单的生机体。我们的魂里有心思、情感和意志。不仅如此,我们灵里有良心、直觉和交通。我们必须操练我们这个复杂之人的每一部分,好接受基督是神的奥秘的启示。
5We cannot contact the Lord or know Him as God’s mystery without exercising our spirit. As we shall see, our whole being needs to be exercised. Every aspect of man’s being — spirit, soul, and body — is complicated. If you spend time examining your face in a mirror, you will be impressed with the complexity of your physical body. Human beings are not simple organisms. In our soul we have the mind, the emotion, and the will. Furthermore, in our spirit we have the conscience, the intuition, and the fellowship. Every part of our complex being must be exercised to receive the revelation of Christ as the mystery of God.
6神自己是一个奥秘,基督是这奥秘的奥秘。我们若只是读圣经的字句,当然不能测度这样的奥秘。因着基督住在我们灵里,我们就需要操练我们的灵,好认识祂是神的奥秘。绝不要认为基督仅仅是一个可以用外面的方式来认识的对象。祂是被钉十字架又复活的一位,今天活在诸天之上的宝座上,也活在我们的灵里。因此,我们操练灵来接触祂,是极为重要的。这意思是说,我们必须从全人的最深处向祂敞开,并且呼求祂。我们的灵是全人的最深处,深过我们的心,深过魂的各部分。因此,操练我们的灵就是敞开我们全人的最深处,呼求主耶稣的名,并接触祂这活在我们里面的一位。
6God Himself is a mystery, and Christ is the mystery of this mystery. Surely we cannot fathom such a mystery simply by reading the letter of the Scriptures. Since Christ dwells in our spirit, we need to exercise our spirit in order to know Him as the mystery of God. Never regard Christ as a mere object to be known in an outward way. As the crucified and resurrected One, He is living both on the throne in the heavens and in our spirit as well. Hence, it is of utmost importance that we exercise our spirit to contact Him. This means that we must open up from the depths of our being and call on Him. Our spirit is our deepest part, deeper than the heart and all the parts of the soul. There fore, to exercise our spirit is to open the deepest part of our being to call on the name of the Lord Jesus and to contact Him as the living One within us.
7我们虽然复杂,然而基督更复杂。我们要认识祂,就不只要操练我们的灵,也要叫我们的心得安慰。这意思是说,我们的心要受顾惜、得温暖。再者,我们的心思必须清明自守,我们的情感必须受规律,我们的意志也要降服。我们里面的每一部分都必须正确且正常的尽功用。这就是保罗题到完全认识基督是神的奥秘时,说到心要得安慰的原因。
7We are complex, but Christ is far more complex. To know Him, we must not only exercise our spirit, but also have our heart comforted. This means that our heart must be cherished, warmed. Moreover, our mind must be sober, our emotion must be regulated, and our will must be subdued. Every part of our inner being must be proper and function in a normal way. This is the reason Paul speaks of the hearts being comforted in relation to having the full knowledge of Christ as the mystery of God.
8在二章二节,保罗继续说到丰丰富富的在悟性上有充分的确信。心得安慰必定有一个结果。在这里,那个结果就是丰丰富富的在悟性上有充分的确信。我们需要有这样的确信。譬如,关于召会的立场,有些圣徒说他们已经认识了召会的立场,也投身在其中;但他们实际上仍旧是三心二意,在召会立场的事上并没有把握。他们有信心,却没有一种叫人有充分确信的把握。
8In 2:2 Paul goes on to speak of all the riches of the full assurance of understanding. The comforting of the heart must have a result. In this case the result is having all the riches of the full assurance of understanding. We need to have such an assurance, for example, concerning the ground of the church. Some saints claim to know the church ground and to be committed to it. However, they are actually quite wishy-washy and have no certainty related to the ground of the church. They have faith, but they do not have the certainty which gives us full assurance.
9让我见证我如何对召会的立场有确信的经历。一九三二年,我们开始在我的家乡烟台实行召会生活。几个月之后,就有人起来反对我们。在我们实行召会生活之前,我受那城里基督教领袖的爱戴与尊敬;他们认为我是一个绝对为着主耶稣的人。然而这些领袖们对我的态度逐渐起了改变,因为越来越多爱主的人加入了召会。这使那些基督教中领头的人很受搅扰,于是对我们消极的谣言就开始流传了。不仅如此,那些以前尊敬我的人,在街上遇见我也不再和我打招呼。我很关切这事,便到主面前去问主,我求祂显明出了甚么错。有一个多月的时间,我在主面前彻底考量这件事。最后我得到结论:我若要作人,就一定要信主耶稣;我若要信主,就一定要爱祂;我若要爱祂,就一定要走召会的路。结果,我对召会的立场有充分的确信。我不只有信心,也有一种认识,使我有把握。四十六年多以来,不管我为召会的立场受了多少的苦,我对这立场的坚持从来没有改变。有些曾与我亲近的同工们,因着畏惧对召会立场的攻击,就出卖了我。有些人甚至还释放过论到召会立场的信息,但实际上他们是三心二意,他们没有保罗在二章二节中所说在悟性上之充分的确信。保罗知道,关于神的奥秘就是基督的这件事,信徒们需要有把握、有确信;这确信是由信心和认识来的。有了这样确信的人,就不会在这件事上三心二意了。
9Allow me to testify of my experience about becoming assured regarding the ground of the church. In 1932 we began to practice the church life in Chefoo, my hometown. After several months, opposition rose up against us. Before we began to practice the church life, I was loved and respected by the Christian leaders in that city. They regarded me as one who was for the Lord Jesus in an absolute way. However, the attitude of those leaders toward me began to change when more and more of the promising ones began to come into the church. This troubled those Christian leaders, and negative rumors were circulated about us. Furthermore, those who once respected me no longer greeted me when they saw me on the street. Deeply concerned about this, I went to the Lord and inquired about the situation. I asked Him to show me what was wrong. I spent more than a month thoroughly considering the matter before the Lord. Eventually I concluded that if I were to be a man, I had to believe in the Lord Jesus; that if I were to believe in the Lord, I had to love Him; and that if I were to love Him, I had to take the way of the church. As a result, I received the full assurance concerning the ground of the church. I had not only faith, but also the knowledge which caused me to have certainty. For more than forty-six years I have not changed my position with respect to the church ground, no matter how much I have suffered because of the stand I have taken. Some co-workers who used to be close to me betrayed me because they were afraid to face opposition regarding the church ground. Some of them had even given messages on the ground of the church. But actually they were wishy-washy. They did not have the full assurance of understanding that Paul speaks of in 2:2. Paul realized that concerning the mystery of God, Christ, the believers needed certainty, the assurance that comes from faith and knowledge. Those who have such an assurance are not wishy-washy in this matter.
10我在召会立场上作了决定之后,在上海和倪弟兄一起度过一段风波的时期。为了要安慰他,我说,“倪弟兄,我与你是一,因为你走主的路。我向你保证,即使你从这条路上出去了,我也不会改变我的心意。我对主在召会中的路,有充分的确信。”这就是保罗在二章二节所说,在悟性上充分的确信。对于基督是神的奥秘,我们需要有信心、认识、把握、和彻底的领会。
10After making my decision about the ground of the church, I spent some time with Brother Nee in Shanghai during a period of turmoil. Attempting to comfort him, I said, “Brother Nee, I am one with you because you are taking the Lord’s way. I assure you, even if you turn from this way, I will not change my mind. I have the full assurance concerning the Lord’s way in the church.” This is the full assurance of understanding that Paul speaks of in 2:2. Concerning Christ as the mystery of God, we need faith, knowledge, certainty, and thorough understanding.
11歌罗西人对基督并没有充分的确信。否则,他们就不至于去敬拜天使,或是接受仪文、规条和哲学等类的事。一面,他们接受了基督,对基督的事多少有点认识;另一面,他们对基督的认识没有在悟性上之充分的确信。歌罗西人确定是相信主耶稣,也持守信仰,但他们没有丰丰富富的在悟性上有充分的确信。他们知道基督是神的儿子,他们也接受了祂;不过,因着他们三心二意,他们也接受了各样的仪文、规条和哲学。
11The Colossians did not have the full assurance concerning Christ. Otherwise, they would not have turned to the worship of angels or taken in such things as observances, ordinances, and philosophies. On the one hand, they had received Christ and knew something about Him. On the other hand, their knowledge of Christ was not with the full assurance of understanding. The Colossians definitely believed in the Lord Jesus and held to the faith. But they did not have all the riches of the full assurance of understanding. They knew that Christ was the Son of God, and they had received Him. However, because they were rather wishy-washy, they also accepted various observances, ordinances, and philosophies.
12我们若要在认识基督是神的奥秘上,丰丰富富的在悟性上有充分的确信,我们全人的每一部分就都必须受操练。我们不该有一点三心二意。我很挂心那些在主恢复中不肯全力操练的人。因着缺少这种操练,他们对主的恢复就可能在悟性上没有充分的确信。
12If we would have all the riches of the full assurance of understanding concerning Christ as the mystery of God, every part of our being must be exercised. We should not be wishy-washy in any way. I am concerned for those in the Lord’s recovery who have never exercised themselves in a full way. Due to this lack of exercise, they may not have the full assurance of understanding concerning the recovery.
13有些人与我们在一起多年。他们与我们在一起时,曾经为着主的恢复赞美主,并且宣告他们绝对为着召会生活。但最后他们却反对主的恢复,甚至定罪主的恢复。这样改变的原因,在于他们在主恢复的事上从来没有彻底的操练,对于主的恢复,他们在悟性上从来没有充分的确信。
13Certain ones were with us for years. While they were with us, they praised the Lord for His recovery and declared that they were absolutely for the church life. But they eventually turned against the recovery and even condemned it. The reason for such a change is that they never had a thorough exercise concerning the Lord’s recovery and never received the full assurance of understanding regarding it.
14我们何等需要有操练,以认识基督是神的奥秘!我们都该能说,“主耶稣,离了你,我对甚么都没有兴趣。主,我的心思、意志、和情感都绝对为着你。我知道我所信的,我也知道在你的恢复中我在作些甚么。我愿意为你舍命。如果我有十条命,条条都要为着你的恢复。主阿,我全人每一个细胞都是为着你的。”你若是这样来操练你的全人,你就会在悟性上有充分的确信,不至于怀疑你所作的,以及你所拣选的路。你就有殉道者为主舍命的那种确信了。
14How much we need to be exercised to know Christ as the mystery of God! We should be able to say, “Lord Jesus, apart from You I have no heart for anything. Lord, my mind, will, and emotion are absolutely for You. I know what I believe, and I know what I am doing in Your recovery. I am willing to lay down my life for You. If I had ten lives, I would give every one of them for the recovery. Every fiber of my being, Lord, is for You.” If you exercise your whole being in this way, you will have the full assurance of understanding. You will not have any doubt about what you are doing or about the way you are taking. You will have the kind of assurance martyrs have when they lay down their lives for the Lord.
丰丰富富的在悟性上有充分的确信
All the riches of the full assurance of understanding
15在二章二节,保罗不是仅仅说到充分的确信,乃是说到丰丰富富的在悟性上有充分的确信。我们来看这件事时,要再以召会立场为例。有些圣徒也许对召会立场有充分的确信,但很可能在悟性上没有充分的认识。当他们说到召会的立场时,他们没有多少可说的。这原因在于他们在悟性上缺少丰富的认识。我们对一的立场这个真理,若是丰丰富富的在悟性上有充分的确信,我们就必定有许多可说的。在召会立场的事上,我们需要操练,直到我们丰丰富富的在悟性上有充分的确信。
15In 2:2 Paul speaks not only of the full assurance, but of all the riches of the full assurance of understanding. As we consider this, let us once again use the ground of the church as an example. Some saints may have the full assurance concerning the church ground, but they may not have the riches in their understanding. When they speak about the ground of the church, they have little to say. The reason for this is the lack of the riches in their understanding. If we have the riches of the full assurance of understanding with respect to the truth of the ground of oneness, we shall have much to say concerning it. Regarding the ground of the church, we need to be exercised until we have all the riches of the full assurance of understanding.
16认识基督是神的奥秘,原则也是一样。我们需要操练到这样的地步,对于基督是神的奥秘,总是有可说的。基督是多么无穷无尽!我们对祂若是丰丰富富的在悟性上有充分的确信,当我们说到祂的时候,就绝不至于无话可说。在悟性上丰丰富富的认识,会使我们有丰富的发表。
16The principle is the same with knowing Christ as the mystery of God. We need to be exercised to such an extent that we always have something to say about Christ as the mystery of God. How inexhaustible Christ is! If we have all the riches of the full assurance of understanding concerning Him, we shall never be short of things to say about Him. The riches of understanding will give us rich utterance.
17我盼望一再的强调,这样的丰富只能藉着操练我们里面的人而得着。我们尤其需要操练我们的悟性来读圣经。不要肤浅的读圣经,也不要认为甚么都是理所当然的;反而要在每一个句子上都操练自己,有时甚至在一个字上操练自己。譬如,保罗在一章十二节说到,在光中同得所分给众圣徒的分。我们要问,为甚么他用“在光中”这辞?我们需要问主并深入主的话中,直到我们丰丰富富的在悟性上有充分的确信。要认识基督是神的具体化身,就需要这样操练我们的全人。
17I wish to emphasize again and again that such riches only come through the exercise of our inner being. In particular, we need to exercise our understanding in studying the Bible. Do not study the Word in a superficial way, and do not take things for granted. Instead, exercise yourself over every phrase, sometimes even over every word. For example, in 1:12 Paul speaks of the portion of the saints in the light. We need to ask why he uses the phrase “in the light.” We need to inquire of the Lord and dig into the Word until we have the riches of the full assurance of understanding. To know Christ as the embodiment of God requires such an exercise of our being.
18当我们这样在神的话上操练,我们就有亮光。例如,我们在二章二节使心得安慰这话上操练,最终必定会蒙光照。我再说,我们整个人─我们的灵、心、魂、心思、情感和意志─都必须在神的话上有操练。这样,我们就会全人爱主,并且对基督是神的奥秘,丰丰富富的在悟性上有充分的确信。
18As we exercise over the Word, we shall receive light. For instance, we may exercise over the matter of the comforting of the hearts in 2:2. Eventually, we shall be enlightened. I repeat, our whole being — our spirit, heart, soul, mind, emotion, and will — must be exercised in the Word. Then we shall love the Lord with our whole being and have all the riches of the full assurance of understanding concerning Christ as the mystery of God.
一切智慧和知识的宝藏,都藏在基督里面
The treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden in Christ
19保罗论到基督是神的奥秘时说,“一切智慧和知识的宝藏,都藏在祂里面。”(二3。)根据历史,那含带希腊哲学之智慧派教训的影响,在保罗时代已侵入外邦的召会。因此,使徒告诉歌罗西人,一切真智慧、真知识的宝藏,都藏在基督里面。这是关于基督与召会,神圣经纶的属灵智慧和知识。智慧与我们的灵有关,知识与我们的心思有关。(弗一8,17。)
19Concerning Christ as the mystery of God, Paul says, “In Whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden” (2:3). According to history, the influence of Gnostic teaching, implying Greek philosophy, invaded the Gentile churches in Paul’s time. Hence, Paul told the Colossians that all the treasures of real wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Christ. This is the spiritual wisdom and knowledge of the divine economy concerning Christ and the church. Wisdom is related to our spirit, and knowledge is related to our mind (Eph. 1:8, 17).
20神是智慧和知识的独一源头。一切智慧和知识的宝藏,都藏在那是神的奥秘的基督里。因为在歌罗西的召会受到异教哲学的侵入,保罗就在这里帮助歌罗西人,使他们追溯智慧和知识的真源头乃是神。基督是神的奥秘;惟独神是一切智慧和知识的源头。保罗似乎是说,“歌罗西人哪,你们既接受了基督,而一切的智慧和知识的宝藏都藏在祂里面,你们为甚么还需要哲学?你们为甚么接受智慧派的教训?你们这样作,乃是因为对你们所信的没有充分的确信。你们有信心,却没有把握。”保罗知道歌罗西人的心需要得安慰,并在爱里结合一起,好使他们丰丰富富的在悟性上有充分的确信。他们若有这样的确信,他们就知道一切智慧和知识的宝藏,都藏在基督里面。
20God is the unique source of wisdom and knowledge. All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in the very Christ who is the mystery of God. Because the church at Colosse had been invaded by pagan philosophy, Paul was helping the Colossians trace wisdom and knowledge to their true source in God. Christ is the mystery of God, who alone is the source of all wisdom and knowledge. It seems as if Paul wanted to say, “Colossians, since you have received the Christ in whom all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden, why do you still need philosophy? Why do you accept the teaching of Gnosticism? You do this because you do not have the full assurance concerning what you believe. You have faith, but you don’t have certainty.” Paul knew that the hearts of the Colossians needed to be comforted and knit together in love so that they could have all the riches of the full assurance of understanding. If they had such an assurance, they would know all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge that are hidden in Christ.
21智慧和知识都具体化在基督里面,这事实由主自己所说的话,特别是记载在马太福音和约翰福音中的话,得着证明。在这二卷书中,主说到国度和生命。主在这二卷书中的话,包含最高的哲学。世上所有的哲学教训,包括孔子的伦理教训在内,都不能与其比拟。主话语中的观念既深又奥。任何对哲学有透彻研究的人都会承认,最高的哲学乃是在耶稣基督的教训里面。一切智慧和知识的宝藏,的确都在祂里面。 我们若操练用我们的全人来接触主,基督这赐生命的灵就要浸透我们的灵和我们的心思。然后在我们的经历里,我们也就有那隐藏在基督里的智慧和知识。这样,我们就经历祂是神的奥秘。我们不该像歌罗西人,他们为外邦哲学所骗取,失去了那藏在基督里面的智慧和知识。
21The fact that wisdom and knowledge are embodied in Christ is proved by His spoken words, especially those recorded in the Gospels of Matthew and John. In these books, the Lord spoke about the kingdom and about life. The Lord’s words recorded in these books contain the highest philosophy. None of the teachings of the philosophers, including the ethical teachings of Confucius, compare to them. The concept in the Lord’s words is too deep and profound. Anyone who makes a thorough study of philosophy will have to admit that the highest philosophy is that found in the teachings of Jesus Christ. Truly all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are in Him. If we exercise our being to contact the Lord, Christ as the life-giving Spirit will saturate our spirit and our mind. Then we also shall have in our experience the wisdom and knowledge that are hidden in Christ. In this way we experience Him as the mystery of God. We should not be like the Colossians, who allowed pagan philosophy to defraud them of the wisdom and knowledge hidden in Christ.
神格丰满的具体化身
The embodiment of the fullness of the Godhead
22基督既是神的奥秘,也是神格丰满的具体化身。保罗在歌罗西一章十九节说,“因为一切的丰满,乐意居住在祂里面。”然后他在二章九节说,“因为神格一切的丰满,都有形有体的居住在基督里面。”这两节里的丰满不是指神的丰富,乃是指神丰富的彰显。那居住在基督里的,不仅是神格的丰富,也是神所是之丰富的彰显。我们要看见神格的丰满就是神格的彰显,也就是神所是的彰显,这是紧要的。神格是在旧造─宇宙中,并在新造─召会中,得着彰显的。请注意在一章十九节和二章九节中,保罗都用“一切”来形容丰满。一切的丰满,一切的彰显,乃是在旧造中,也在新造里。
22As the mystery of God, Christ is also the embodiment of the fullness of the Godhead. In 1:19 Paul says, “For in Him all the fullness was pleased to dwell.” Then in 2:9 he says, “For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.” Fullness in these verses refers not to the riches of God, but to the expression of the riches of God. What dwells in Christ is not only the riches of the Godhead, but the expression of the riches of what God is. It is crucial for us to see that the fullness of the Godhead is the expression of the Godhead, that is, the expression of what God is. The Godhead is expressed both in the old creation, the universe, and in the new creation, the church. Notice that both in 1:19 and 2:9 Paul uses the word “all” to describe fullness. All the fullness, all the expression, is in the old creation and in the new creation.
23二章九节的神格,与罗马一章二十节受造之物所显明之神性的特征不同。前者所说的,有力的指明基督的神格。神格一切的丰满,与人的传统和世上的蒙学相对,绝不是人世间的传统和蒙学所能比。
23The word Godhead in 2:9 refers to deity, which is different from divinity in Romans 1:20. This reference to deity strongly indicates the deity of Christ. Such a deity is with the fullness of the Godhead versus the tradition of man and the elements of the world.
24在一章十九节和二章九节,我们看见一切丰满的两方面。根据一章十九节,一切的丰满乐意居住在基督里面。根据二章九节,一切的丰满有形有体的居住在基督里面。这含示基督在祂人性里所穿上的肉身,指明神格一切的丰满都居住在这位有属人身体的基督里面。在祂成为肉体以前,神格一切的丰满乃是居住在祂所是之永远的话里面,(约一1,)并不是有形有体的。从祂成为肉体穿上人的身体以后,神格的丰满就开始有形有体的居住在祂里面,并居住在祂得荣的身体里,(腓三21,)从今时直到永远。
24In 1:19 and in 2:9 we see two aspects of all the fullness. According to 1:19, all the fullness was pleased to dwell in Christ. According to 2:9, all the fullness dwells in Christ bodily. This implies the physical body which Christ put on in His humanity. It indicates that all the fullness of the Godhead dwells in Christ as the One who has a human body. Before His incarnation, the fullness of the Godhead dwelt in Him as the eternal Word, but it did not dwell in Him bodily. After He became incarnate, clothed with a human body, the fullness of the Godhead began to dwell in a bodily way, and in His glorified body (Phil. 3:21) now and forever it dwells.
