2。弗四:12 - 16 “12为要成全圣徒,各尽其职,建立基督的身体,13直等到我们众人在真道上同归于一,认识上帝的儿子,得以长大成人,满有基督长成的身量,14使我们不再作小孩子,中了人的诡计和欺骗的法术,被一切异教之风摇动,飘来飘去,就随从各样的异端。15惟用爱心说诚实话,凡事长进,连于元首基督。16全身都靠他联络得合式,百节各按各职,照着各体的功用彼此相助,便叫身体渐渐增长,在爱中建立自己。”
《新译本》:12为的是要装备圣徒,去承担圣工,建立基督的身体;13直到我们众人对上帝的儿子都有一致的信仰和认识,可以长大成人,达到基督丰盛长成的身量;14使我们不再作小孩子,中了人的诡计和骗人的手段,给异教之风摇撼,飘来飘去,15却要在爱中过诚实的生活,在各方面长进,达到基督的身量。他是教会的头,16全身靠着他,借着每一个关节的支持,照着每部分的功用,配合联系起来,使身体渐渐长大,在爱中建立自己。
KJV:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
在原文里,从 11节到 16节,其实是一个长句子,是保罗讲论教会的成长最清楚的经文。
我们可以把 12-16节分成三小段:
12-13节:正面的教导 - 教会的成长
14节:反面的告诫 - 提防异端
15-16节:正面的教导 - 教会的成长
今天,我们只查考 12-13节。
