I Corinthians 林前 3:1-11

1. 弟兄们，我从前对你们说话，不能把你们当作属灵的，只得把你们当作属肉体，在基督里为婴孩的。

2. 我是用奶喂你们，没有用饭喂你们。那时你们不能吃，就是如今还是不能。

3. 你们仍是属肉体的。因为在你们中间有嫉妒分争，这岂不是属乎肉体，照着世人的样子行吗？

4. 有说，我是属保罗的。有说，我是属亚波罗的。这岂不是你们和世人一样吗？

5. 亚波罗算什么。保罗算什么。无非是执事，照主所赐给他们各人的，引导你们相信。

6. 我栽种了，亚波罗浇灌了。惟有神叫他生长。

7. 可见栽种的算不得什么，浇灌的也算不得什么。只在那叫他生长的神。

8. 栽种的和浇灌的都是一样。但将来各人要照自己的工夫，得自己的赏赐。

9. 因为我们是与神同工的。你们是神所耕种的田地，所建造的房屋。

10.我照神所给我的恩，好像一个聪明的工头，立好了根基，有别人在上面建造。只是各人要谨慎怎样在上面建造。

11.因为那已经立好的根基，就是耶稣基督，此外没有人能立别的根基。

1. And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ.

2. I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able;

3. for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men?

4. For when one says, “I am of Paul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not carnal?

5. Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one?

6. I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase.

7. So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.

8. Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

9. For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building.

10.According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it.

11. For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Carnal, instead of spiritual 属肉体的，不是属灵的 Babes, instead of mature 婴孩一般，不是成熟的 Divided, instead of united 分裂的，不是合一的

Ephesians 以弗所书 4:14 “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;” “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。”

I Corinthians 3:3 “For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?”

你们仍是属肉体的。因为在你们中间有嫉妒分争，这岂不是属乎肉体，照着世人的样子行吗？

Envying or Jealousy 羡慕或嫉妒 Strife or Contention 争吵或纷争 Division

分裂

Ephesians 以弗所书 4:1-7 “I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.”

我为主被囚的劝你们，既然蒙召，行事为人就当与蒙召的恩相称。事谦虚，温柔，忍耐，用爱心互相宽容，用和平彼此联络，竭力保守圣灵所赐合而为一的心。4身体只有一个，圣灵只有一，正如你们蒙召，同有一个指望，一主，一信，一洗，一神，就是众人的父，超乎众人之上，乎众人之中，也住在众人之内。我们各人蒙恩，都是照基督所量给各人的恩赐。

Philippians 腓立比书 2:2 “Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.”

你们就要意念相同，爱心相同，有一样的心思，有一样的意念，使我的喜乐可以满足。

John 约翰福音 13:34-35 “A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.”

我赐给你们一条新命令，乃是叫你们彼此相爱。我怎样爱你们，你们也要怎样相爱。你们若有彼此相爱的心，众人因此就认出你们是我的门徒了。

“For we are God’s servants working together” “因为我们是神的仆人，一起同工的” “We are laborers together with God” “我们是与神同工的”

His Work! 祂的工作

His work in His way! And those who give Him the glory!

按祂的方法工作， 将荣耀归于祂！

Romans 12:3-5 “For I say, through the grace given unto me, to

every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.”

“我凭着所赐我的恩，对你们各人说，不要看自己过于所当看的。要照着神所分给各人信心的大小，看得合乎中道。正如我们一个身子上有好些肢体，肢体也不都是一样的用处。我们这许多人，在基督里成为一身，互相联络作肢体，也是如此。”
