Scripture Reading: Matt. 5:1; 28:19; 2 Cor. 6:14-16; 1 Cor. 1:2; 1 Pet. 4:16
壹 我们是基督的门徒，就是跟从基督，并照着那在耶稣身上是实际者（就是耶稣一生的真实光景，如四福音所记载的）而学基督的人；这是在基督的经历里经历祂，好使我们能成为祂生机的繁殖和复制，使祂得着祂自己团体的彰显，而在召会中并在新耶路撒冷里得着荣耀—太五1，二八19，弗四20～24，三21，赛四三7，启二一11：
I. We are disciples of Christ, those who are following and learning Christ according to the reality that is in Jesus, which is the actual condition of the God-man living of Jesus recorded in the four Gospels; this is to experience Christ in His experiences so that we might become His organic reproduction and duplication for Him to have a corporate expression of Him self for His glory in the church and in the New Jerusalem—Matt. 5:1; 28:19; Eph. 4:20-24; 3:21; Isa. 43:7; Rev. 21:11:
一 我们正在从一个天然的人被训练成一个神人，照着基督这第一个神人的榜样，否认我们天然的生命，而活神圣的生命；这就是学基督，并在祂里面照着那在耶稣身上是实际者受教导，好在我们心思的灵里被神的话更新，使我们成为新的、团体的神人—弗四23，申十七18～20：
A. We are being discipled from being a natural man to being a God-man, living the divine life by denying our natural life according to the model of Christ as the first God-man; this is to learn Christ and be taught in Him as the reality is in Jesus, to be renewed in the spirit of our mind by the word of God so that we may become a new and corporate God-man—Eph. 4:23; Deut. 17:18-20:
1 “你们若住在我的话里，就真是我的门徒；你们必认识真理，真理必叫你们得以自由”—约八31～32、36，十五7。
1. "If you abide in My word, you are truly My disciples; and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free"—John 8:31-32, 36; 15:7.
2 我们祷读主话，并有耳可听那灵借着话语职事向众召会所说的话，就借着心思的更新而变化，受主训练作门徒—弗六17～18，启二7，罗十二2，弗四23。
2. By the prayerful reading of the Scriptures and by having an.ear to hear what the Spirit says to the churches through the ministry of the word, we are being discipled by the Lord through being transformed by the renewing of our mind—Eph. 6:17-18; Rev. 2:7; Rom. 12:2; Eph. 4:23.
3 我们的心思得更新，乃是在一切对人生事物的观念上，受圣经的教训和圣灵的光照，以接受神新的思想，而有的去旧更新—诗一一九105、130。
3. For us to be renewed in our mind is to get rid of all the old concepts concerning the things of the human life through receiving the new thoughts of God by the teaching of the Holy Scriptures and the enlightening of the Holy Spirit—Psa. 119:105, 130.
4 我们要作主的门徒，在基督自己这生命里得救，而在生命中作王，胜过撒但、罪与死，就必须被神的圣言重新构成，好使我们受祂的话指教、管治、管理并控制—罗五10、17，申十七18～20，提后三15～17。
4. In order to be the Lord's disciples who are being saved in Christ Himself as life to reign in life over Satan, sin, and death, we must be reconstituted with the holy word of God so that we may be instructed, governed, ruled, and controlled by the word of God—Rom. 5:10, 17; Deut. 17:18-20; 2 Tim. 3:15-17.
二 我们学基督，就是借着吃基督而被基督顶替；那在耶稣身上是实际者（耶稣个人的神人生活），得以成为基督身体的实际（团体基督的神人生活），乃是借着我们吃基督以享受祂作供应，供给我们，加力量给我们，加强我们，并使我们有能力，以拣选并实行神的旨意，使祂在召会中得荣耀—约六57，赛七14～15，约十七4，来五8，腓二8，约六63，耶十五16，来四16，罗五5、17，十二2，林后五14，弗三20～21。
B. To learn Christ is for us to be replaced with Christ by eating Christ; the reality that is in Jesus (the God-man living of the individual Jesus) becomes the reality of the Body of Christ (the God-man living of the corporate Christ) by our eating Christ to enjoy Christ as our supplying, energizing, empowering, and enabling supply, so that we may choose and carry out the will of God for His glory in the church—John 6:57; Isa. 7:14-15; John 17:4; Heb. 5:8; Phil. 2:8; John 6:63; Jer. 15:16; Heb. 4:16; Rom. 5:5, 17; 12:2; 2 Cor. 5:14; Eph. 3:20-21.
三 我们学基督，是借着每早晨被祂唤醒，使我们能有受教者的耳朵和舌头，好用言语扶助疲乏的人；我们是主的门徒、受教者，应当依赖祂，信靠祂的名，不自行造光—赛五十4～5、10～11。
C. We are learning Christ by being awakened by Him morning by morning so that we can have the ear and tongue of an instructed one to sustain the weary with a word; as the Lord's disciples, His instructed ones, we should rely on Him, trust in His name, and not generate our own light—Isa. 50:4-5, 10-11.
四 我们学基督作那心里柔和谦卑者，祂的轭是容易的，祂的担子是轻省的，并且祂将自己赐给我们，作我们魂的安息（完全的平安和完满的满足）—太十一28～30。
D. We are learning Christ as the One who is meek and lowly in heart, as the One whose yoke is easy and whose burden is light, and as the One who gives us Himself as rest (perfect peace and full satisfaction) for our souls—Matt. 11:28-30.
五 我们学基督作那内住于我们之充足的秘诀，使我们在祂人性的美德里彰显神的属性，在各种环境、光景和境遇中活基督以显大基督—腓四5～13。
E. We are learning Christ as our indwelling secret of sufficiency to express God's attributes in Christ's human virtues, living Him for His magnification in every kind of environment, situation, and circumstance—Phil. 4:5-13.
六 我们照着基督爱和赦免的心并祂牧养和寻找的灵，学基督作那喜爱怜悯者—太九12～13。
F. We are learning Christ as the One who desires mercy according to His loving and forgiving heart and His shepherding and seeking spirit—Matt. 9:12-13.
七 门徒跟从主三年半，看见主所作的、主如何行事为人并如何说话；吹入他们里面的生命与实际之灵（约二十22），要引导他们进入他们对主所观察之一切的实际（十六13）。
G. The disciples who followed the Lord for three and a half years saw what He did, how He behaved, and how He spoke; the Spirit of life and of reality who was breathed into them (John 20:22) would guide them into all the reality of what they had observed of the Lord (16:13).
八 主耶稣是在复活中，不凭自己，乃凭另一个源头—祂的父—而过人性生活的人；当我们凭另一个生命—内住于我们的基督—而在人性里活着，这种生活就使我们成为主真正的门徒。
H. The Lord Jesus was a person living a human life in resurrection, not by Himself but by another source, that is, His Father; when we live in our humanity by another life, by the Christ who indwells us, this kind of living makes us the Lord's genuine disciples.
九 主的门徒有三一神真实的同在作他们的大喜乐，而使他们成为那有“耶稣的人性”的人，对他们所接触者是甜美、迷人、吸引人的，毫无虚谎或伪善—太一23，诗四三4，罗十四17，尼八10，腓一25，四5、8～9，提前四15～16。
I. The disciples of the Lord have the real presence of the Triune God as their exceeding joy to make them persons who are "Jesusly human," those who are sweet, charming, and attractive to those whom they contact, without any deception or hypocrisy—Matt. 1:23; Psa. 43:4; Rom. 14:17; Neh. 8:10; Phil. 1:25; 4:5, 8-9; 1 Tim. 4:15-16.
十 跟从基督的人受门徒训练，乃是借着基督在地上的人性生活，作为神人的模型—借着在人性里否认祂自己而活神（约五19、30）；这彻底改变了他们关于人的观念（腓三10，一21上）。
J. The followers of Christ were discipled through Christ's human living on the earth, as the model of a God-man—living God by denying Himself in humanity (John 5:19, 30), revolutionizing their concept concerning man (Phil. 3:10; 1:21a).
十一 “我在主的恢复中观察倪弟兄如何行事为人十八年之久。我在他身上所观察到的一切，都成了将我构成门徒的事物。”（李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第五册，活力排，一〇二页）
K. "I was in the recovery observing how Brother Watchman Nee acted for eighteen years. All that I observed in him became things discipling me" (The Collected Works of Witness Lee, 1994–1997, vol. 5, "The Vital Groups," p. 76).
贰 我们是基督里的信徒，就是凭神儿子的信得生并活着的人；信废除我们，并使我们活神、彰显神，且将神供应到人里面—林后六14～16，罗一17，来十一6，加二20：
II. We are believers in Christ, those who have life and live by the faith of the Son of God; faith annuls us and causes us to live God, to express God, and to minister God into people—2 Cor. 6:14-16; Rom. 1:17; Heb. 11:6; Gal. 2:20:
一 在基督里的信徒（约三15～16）已经从亚当里迁到基督里（林前十五22），已经重生成为在基督里的新造（林后五17），现今在基督永远的生命里与祂联结，并与基督联合成为一灵（林前六17）：
A. The believers in Christ (John 3:15-16) have been transferred from Adam into Christ (1.Cor. 15:22), they have been regenerated to be a new creation in Christ (2 Cor. 5:17), they are united with Christ in His eternal life, and they are joined to Christ to be one spirit with Him (1 Cor. 6:17):
1 我们在基督里的信徒已经出生两次，第一次出生为天然的人，但有一天我们再次出生，成为有神圣、永远生命之重生的人—约三6～7。
1. As believers in Christ, we have been generated twice; we were generated the first time to be the natural man, but one day we were regenerated to be born anew with the divine, eternal life—John 3:6-7.
2 我们的第二张出生证明（属灵出生证明），见于罗马八章十六节，那里说，那灵同我们的灵见证我们是神的儿女；我们神圣奥秘的出生证明乃是一个双重的灵，就是那灵同我们的灵（我们的灵已与主成为一灵）。
2. Our second birth certificate of our spiritual birth is seen in Romans 8:16, which says that the Spirit witnesses with our spirit that we are children of God; our divine and mystical birth certificate is a double spirit, the Spirit with our spirit, which has become one spirit with the Lord.
二 人听见基督，认识祂，欣赏祂，宝贵祂，祂就在人里面生发出信，叫人相信祂；这样，祂就成了人里面对祂的信—来十二2。
B. When man hears Christ, knows Him, appreciates Him, and treasures Him, He causes faith to be generated in man, enabling man to believe in Him; thus, He becomes the faith in man by which man believes in Him—Heb. 12:2.
三 信来自听见话；当我们听见基督，在神写出来的话里接触祂这神活的话，祂就成了应用的话，作为那灵分赐到我们里面，成为我们的信；因此，神化身在基督里，又实化为那灵，与我们的灵调和，这就是信—罗十17，约一1，五39～40，六63。
C. Faith comes out of the hearing of the word; when we hear Christ and contact Him as the living word of God in the written word of God, He becomes the applied word as the Spirit dispensed into us to be our faith; thus, God embodied in Christ and realized as the Spirit mingled with our spirit is faith—Rom. 10:17; John 1:1; 5:39-40; 6:63.
四 听信仰唤起我们爱的珍赏，我们越爱主，信就越运行，带我们进入那包罗万有之灵的丰富和益处里—加三2、5，五6。
D. The hearing of faith awakens our loving appreciation, and the more we love the Lord, the more faith operates to bring us into the riches, the profit, of the all-inclusive Spirit—Gal. 3:2, 5; 5:6.
五 罗马十二章三节说，“不要看自己过于所当看的，乃要照着神所分给各人信心的度量，看得清明适度”：
E. Romans 12:3 says, "Not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think, but to think so as to be sober-minded, as God has apportioned to each a measure of faith":
1 看自己过于所当看的，而不清明适度，就是抹煞身体生活中正确的等次；神给我们的信心，在质上是同样的，在量上却是不同的；量的多少乃在于我们如何长大；如果我们今天像使徒保罗一样长大，我们所接受那一分的信心就要大大地扩充。
1. To think more highly of ourselves than we ought to think without a sober mind annuls the proper order of the Body life; God gave us the same faith in quality but not in quantity; the matter of quantity depends upon how we grow; if we grow today as the apostle Paul grew, the portion of faith we receive will be greatly enlarged.
2 神分给我们多少信心，乃在于我们的态度；如果我们不是清明适度的（看自己过于所当看的，不看别人比自己强，以及自以为是什么，其实我们什么也不是），神就不会在分给我们的信心上增加度量，甚至可能会把它减少—腓二2～3，加六3，林前八1～3。
2. How much faith God apportions to us depends upon our attitude; if we are not sober-minded (thinking more highly of.our selves than we ought to think, not considering one another more excellent than ourselves, and thinking that we are some thing when we are nothing), God would not increase His apportioning of faith to us, and He probably would even decrease it—Phil. 2:2-3; Gal. 6:3; 1 Cor. 8:1-3.
六 我们信徒在以下与基督的关系里凭信而活：
F. We believers live by faith in the following relationships with Christ:
1 基督是葡萄树，我们是祂的枝子—约十五1～8。
1. Christ is the vine, and we are His branches—John 15:1-8.
2 基督是头，我们是祂的肢体—林前十二27。
2. Christ is the Head, and we are His members—1 Cor. 12:27.
3 基督是生命的气、生命的水、生命的粮，我们是呼吸祂、吃祂并喝祂的人—约二十22，四10、14，七37～39上，六35、51～63、68。
3. Christ is the breath of life, the water of life, and the bread of life, and we are His breathers, eaters, and drinkers—John 20:22; 4:10, 14; 7:37-39a; 6:35, 51-63, 68.
4 基督是新郎，我们是祂的新妇—三29，弗五25～27，启十九7～9，林后十一2～3。
4. Christ is the Bridegroom, and we are His bride—3:29; Eph. 5:25-27; Rev. 19:7-9; 2 Cor. 11:2-3.
5 基督是孤儿的父，我们是孤儿，成了祂的儿女，享受祂的照顾和拯救（含示祂每天的救拔和解救）—约十四18，诗六八5～6，赛九6，二二19～22，约一12～13，十四10，诗一〇七1～43，一一〇4，启二1、7，来七25，罗五10。
5. Christ is the Father of the orphans, and we are the orphans who have become His children, enjoying His care and deliverance, which imply His rescue and saving every day—John 14:18; Psa. 68:5-6; Isa. 9:6; 22:19-22; John 1:12-13; 14:10; Psa. 107:1-43; 110:4; Rev. 2:1, 7; Heb. 7:25; Rom. 5:10.
6 基督是我们的医生，我们是祂的病人，享受祂作我们的医治者，成为我们的赦免、享受、喜乐、满足和自由—出十五23～26，可二1～三6。
6. Christ is our Physician, and we are His patients, enjoying Him as our Healer to be our forgiveness, enjoyment, joy, satisfaction, and freedom—Exo. 15:23-26; Mark 2:1—3:6.
7 基督是世界的光，我们是跟从祂的人，使我们得着生命的光，并成为扩散祂神圣之光的透光体—约八12，太五14～16，腓二12～16，约壹一5、7、9，启二一23。
7. Christ is the light of the world, and we are His followers so that we may have the light of life and be His diffuser to spread the divine light—John 8:12; Matt. 5:14-16; Phil. 2:12-16; 1.John 1:5, 7, 9; Rev. 21:23.
叁 我们是神的圣徒，是被分别且圣别归神的人—罗一7，林前一2、30，参民六1～9：
III. We are saints of God, those who have been separated and made holy unto God—Rom. 1:7; 1 Cor. 1:2, 30; cf. Num. 6:1-9:
一 我们在地位上，借祂救赎的血已经得着圣别—来十三12。
A. We have been sanctified with His redeeming blood positionally—Heb. 13:12.
二 我们在性质上，借祂圣别的性情正在被圣化—帖后二13，来二10～11，林前六11，弗五26，帖前五23～24。
B. We are being sanctified with His holy nature dispositionally—2.Thes. 2:13; Heb. 2:10-11; 1 Cor. 6:11; Eph. 5:26; 1 Thes. 5:23-24.
肆 我们是基督徒，基督人，与基督是一，因着与基督生机的联结，有祂作我们全备供应的内容，好在日常生活中活祂，使祂得以显大—徒十一26，二六28，彼前四16，林前六17，林后四7，腓一19～21上：
IV. We are Christians, Christ-men, those who are one with Christ, having Christ as our bountifully supplying contents in an organic union with Him to live Him for His magnification in our daily life—Acts 11:26; 26:28; 1 Pet. 4:16; 1 Cor. 6:17; 2 Cor. 4:7; Phil. 1:19-21a:
一 作基督徒的目标，以及神在祂的经纶里为我们所定的定命，乃是要我们凭那灵生活行动，好活基督，使神得着荣耀，就是得着彰显—加二20，五16、25，六17，赛四三7，林前六20，十31。
A. The goal of being a Christian and the destiny that God has ordained for us in His economy is for us to walk by the Spirit in order to live Christ for God's glory, His expression—Gal. 2:20; 5:16, 25; 6:17; Isa. 43:7; 1 Cor. 6:20; 10:31.
二 每一个基督徒在地上，都有主在他身上所定的特别路程，作基督尽功用的肢体，为着祂身体的建造；这路程需要每一个基督徒自己走，没有人能取代他，他也不能取代任何人—徒十三22、25、36，二十24，林前九24，十二14～22，提后四7～8。
B. Every Christian on this earth has a special journey that the Lord has assigned to him as a functioning member of Christ for the building up of His Body; he has to take the journey himself; no one else can replace him, nor can he replace anyone else—Acts 13:22, 25, 36; 20:24; 1 Cor. 9:24; 12:14-22; 2 Tim. 4:7-8.
