Oh, yes. Reverend Green decided to change today's scripture reading. It's going to be Colossians 3: 5.

噢，是的。格林神父决定更改今天的讲义内容。今天要讲歌罗西书第三章第五节。

Therefore, if we are separated from the all-inclusive Christ revealed in Colossians, we cannot do anything.

因此，倘若我们离开歌罗西书中所启示包罗万有的基督，我们就不能作什么。

The peace of Christ in Colossians 3: 15 is simply the peaceful oneness in the new man.

三15中基督的平安，就是在新人里使人和平的一。

This is the very peace in Colossians 3: 15.

这就是西三15的平安。

Colossians is focused on Christ as our Head and our life.

歌罗西书的中心是基督作我们的头和生命。

According to Colossians 2: 19, something proceeds out from the Head which causes the Body to grow with the growth of God.

按照西二19，有个东西从元首出来，使身体以神的增长而长大。

According to Colossians 3, corresponding to Christ's heavenly ministry by seeking the things above is the first aspect of our Christian walk.

按照歌罗西三章我们看见，借着寻求在上面的事而与基督天上的职事相呼应，乃是我们基督徒行事为人的头一面。

Although His earthly ministry has been completed, His ministry in heaven is still going on.(Life-study of Colossians, pp. 523-524)

虽然祂在地上的职事已经完成了，祂在天上的职事却仍然进行着（歌罗西书生命读经，六五一至六五二页）。

We need to be watchful because the Christian life is a life of fighting, a life of warfare. (Life-study of Colossians, pp. 578-579, 252-254)

我们需要儆醒，因为基督徒的生活乃是争战的生活，战斗的生活（歌罗西书生命读经，七一八至七一九、三一一至三一四页）。

The first mystery, revealed in the book of Colossians, is Christ as the mystery of God.

第一个奥秘启示于歌罗西书，就是基督是神的奥秘。

In Colossians 2: 2 Paul speaks of the “full knowledge of the mystery of God, Christ.”

保罗在二2说到“能以完全认识神的奥秘，就是基督”。

In Colossians 3: 10 are the creation of the new man and his renewal.

西三10说到新人的创造和更新。

To pray together with Christ in this way is to have one living with Him. (Life-study of Colossians, pp. 524, 549-550, 533)

这样与基督一同祷告，就是与祂同有一个生活（歌罗西书生命读经，六五二、六八二至六八三、六六一页）。

The supply and enjoyment this brings is unspeakable… . This surely is a reward for persevering in prayer. (Life-study of Colossians, pp. 581-582)

… … 这的确是坚定持续祷告的赏赐（歌罗西书生命读经，七二二至七二三页）。

As Colossians 3: 10 says, we need to put on the new man, which is being renewed.

正如西三10所说，我们必须穿上新人，这新人是渐渐更新的。

In Colossians 1: 29 Paul said that he struggled according to Christ's operation within him.

保罗在西一29说，他照着基督在他里面的运行，竭力奋斗。

Therefore, the growth of the Body is the product of enjoying Christ, holding Him as the Head, and absorbing His riches. (Life-study of Colossians, pp. 495-496)

所以，基督身体的长大乃是享受基督，持定祂作元首，并吸取祂的丰富所产生的结果（歌罗西书生命读经，六一四至六一五页）。

According to Colossians 1: 26, the word of God is the “mystery… .” This hidden mystery is related to Christ and the church, the Head and the Body.

根据西一26，神的话就是… … 奥秘… … 。这隐藏的奥秘是关乎基督与召会（弗五32），就是头和身体。

But if you practice this for a long period of time, it will get easier and easier, for you will realize the rewards of praying. (Life-study of Colossians, p. 582)

但你长久这样实行的话，就会越过越容易了，因为你晓得祷告的赏赐（歌罗西书生命读经，七二三至七二四页）。

We need to let the peace of Christ arbitrate in us, and we must let the word of Christ dwell in us. (Life-study of Colossians, pp. 245-247, 239-241)

需要让基督的平安在我们里面作仲裁，并需要让基督的话住在我们里面（歌罗西书生命读经，三〇三至三〇四、二九四至二九六页）。
