信徒同屬一體

所以,我這為主被囚禁的勸你們,既然蒙了上帝的呼召,就要過與所蒙的呼召相稱的生活。 凡事要謙虛、溫柔、忍耐,用愛心互相寬容, 以和平彼此聯結,竭力持守聖靈所賜的合一。 正如你們蒙召後有同一個盼望,你們同屬一個身體,有同一位聖靈、 同一位主、同一個信仰、同一種洗禮、 同一位上帝,就是萬物之父。祂超越萬物,貫穿萬物,且在萬物之中。

然而,我們各人都是按照基督所賜的分量領受恩典。 因此聖經上說:

「祂升上高天時,
帶著許多俘虜,
將恩賜賞給眾人。」

既然說「升上」,豈不表示祂曾經降到地上嗎? 10 降下的是祂,升到諸天之上的也是祂,祂充滿萬物。 11 祂賜恩讓一些人作使徒,一些人作先知,一些人作傳福音的,一些人作牧師和教師, 12 為要裝備信徒,使他們各盡其職,建立基督的身體, 13 直到我們對上帝的兒子有一致的信仰和認識,逐漸成熟,達到基督那樣完美的生命。 14 這樣,我們就不再像小孩子,被各種異端邪說之風吹得飄來飄去,被人的陰謀詭計欺騙,隨波逐流。 15 相反,我們說話要憑愛心堅持真理,在各方面都要追求長進,更像元首基督。 16 整個身體靠祂巧妙地結合在一起,筋骨相連,彼此供應,使各部位各盡其職,身體便漸漸長大,在愛中建立起來。

身体上的和谐

因为我属于主而成为一名囚徒,现在我督促你们,你们的生活要无愧你们从上帝那里领受到的召唤。 要一贯保持谦卑、温和,要有耐心,彼此以爱宽容对方。 尽力维持圣灵带来的团结,让和平把你们彼此联系在一起。 只有一个身体和一个圣灵,正如你们蒙召时,有同一个盼望一样。 世上只有一位主,一个信仰,一个洗礼 [a] 只有一个上帝和天父,他统治一切,贯穿一切,在一切之中。

我们每个人都得到了基督分配给我们的特殊恩赐。 所以《经》上说:

“他升天时,
带着他的战俘,
并把恩赐予人民。” (A)

“他升天”这话,是什么意思呢?它的意思是说,他先降到地下。 10 降下去的、就是升到诸天之上的的那位。他这么做,为的是他可以充满万物。 11 基督亲自恩准一些人成为使徒,一些人成为先知,一些人去传播福音,另一些人成为牧人和教师, 12 以便让上帝的圣民做好准备,去做服务和加强基督身体的工作。 13 直到我们归于一个信仰,对上帝之子有统一的认识,成长为成熟的人,达到基督那样至善至美的境界。

14 这样,我们才不再是婴儿,随波逐流,听任诡诈之人各种学说的摆布。这些人擅长玩弄伎俩愚弄人们,使他们误入歧途。 15 相反,我们要满怀爱心去讲实话,在各方面都成长起来,向基督看齐。基督是首脑, 16 整个身体都依赖着他,通过各个关节筋络彼此连接在一起。每一部分在发挥其应有的作用时,就使整个身体在爱中得到成长和加强。

Unity and Maturity in the Body of Christ

As a prisoner(A) for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy(B) of the calling(C) you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another(D) in love.(E) Make every effort to keep the unity(F) of the Spirit through the bond of peace.(G) There is one body(H) and one Spirit,(I) just as you were called to one hope when you were called(J); one Lord,(K) one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all,(L) who is over all and through all and in all.(M)

But to each one of us(N) grace(O) has been given(P) as Christ apportioned it. This is why it[a] says:

“When he ascended on high,
    he took many captives(Q)
    and gave gifts to his people.”[b](R)

(What does “he ascended” mean except that he also descended to the lower, earthly regions[c]? 10 He who descended is the very one who ascended(S) higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.)(T) 11 So Christ himself gave(U) the apostles,(V) the prophets,(W) the evangelists,(X) the pastors and teachers,(Y) 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ(Z) may be built up(AA) 13 until we all reach unity(AB) in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God(AC) and become mature,(AD) attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.(AE)

14 Then we will no longer be infants,(AF) tossed back and forth by the waves,(AG) and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming.(AH) 15 Instead, speaking the truth in love,(AI) we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head,(AJ) that is, Christ. 16 From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows(AK) and builds itself up(AL) in love,(AM) as each part does its work.
