ENFRIENDSHIP AND FELLOWSHIP, Divine and Human. God's friendship—with Moses: Ex. 33:11. The Lord spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. With Abraham: Isa. 41:8. Abraham, My friend. James 2:23. He was called the friend of God. Matt. 11:19. A friend of publicans and sinners. John 15:14, 15. Ye are My friends. . . . I have called you friends. John 11:11. Our friend Lazarus. Human friendship: Prov. 17:17. A friend loveth at all times; and a brother is born for adversity. Prov. 18:24. There is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. Prov. 13:20. Prov. 27:6, 9, 10, 17. (Faithful are the wounds of a friend. . . . Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.) Illus. David and Jonathan.

BSBProverbs 17:17 A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

中友谊与相交——神圣的与人间的。神的友谊——与摩西：出埃及记 33:11 —— 耶和华与摩西面对面说话，好像人与朋友说话一般。与亚伯拉罕：以赛亚书 41:8 —— 我朋友亚伯拉罕。雅各书 2:23 —— 他又得称为神的朋友。马太福音 11:19 —— 税吏和罪人的朋友。约翰福音 15:14-15 —— 你们……就是我的朋友了……我乃称你们为朋友。11:11 —— 我们的朋友拉撒路。人间的友谊：箴言 17:17 —— 朋友乃时常亲爱，弟兄为患难而生。18:24 —— 但有一朋友，比弟兄更亲密。13:20。27:6, 9, 10, 17 ——（朋友加的伤痕出于忠诚……铁磨铁，磨出刃来；朋友相感也是如此。）例证：大卫与约拿单。【OCR 注：原书 "Matt. 11:10" 依经文（税吏和罪人的朋友）推定为 11:19。】

ENGod's fellowship with man—conditioned upon love and obedience to Him, and promised: John 14:23. If a man love Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come unto him, and make Our abode with him. Man's fellowship with God: 1 John 1:3. Our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ. 1 Cor. 1:9. Called into the fellowship of His Son. Phil. 2:1. Fellowship of the Spirit. Song of Solomon 4:16. [It is nothing less than a life of abiding, unbroken fellowship with Himself to which He is seeking to lift us up. All that we have received—pardon, peace, the Spirit and His grace—are but preliminary to this. And all that is promised in the future—holiness and fruitfulness and glory everlasting—are but its natural outcome. Fellowship, intimacy, union with Himself, is His highest object. Murray.]

BSBJohn 14:23 Jesus replied, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.

中神与人的相交——以人爱他、顺服他为条件，并有应许：约翰福音 14:23 —— 人若爱我，就必遵守我的道，我父也必爱他，并且我们要到他那里去，与他同住。人与神的相交：约翰一书 1:3 —— 我们乃是与父并他儿子耶稣基督相交的。哥林多前书 1:9 —— 蒙召，好与他儿子……一同得分（英译：进入他儿子的团契）。腓立比书 2:1 —— 圣灵有什么交通。雅歌 4:16。〔他正设法把我们提举上去的，不多不少正是一种与他自己恒常不断相交的生活。我们已领受的一切——赦罪、平安、圣灵与他的恩——不过是它的前奏；将来所应许的一切——圣洁、结果子、永远的荣耀——不过是它自然的结果。相交、亲密、与他自己联合，才是他至高的目标。慕安得烈（Murray）〕

EN[The grand power of the Christian life is largely in its fellowship—first, in the mystical union of the believer with Christ; and second, in the equally mystical and no less vital union of the saints with each other. It is God's good pleasure that we should find our strength, as well as our chiefest joy, in the communion of the great family. No man among God's people liveth unto himself. We are bound to each other, not merely by the instinct of mutual dependence and support, but by a living tie of kinship, which is ratified by the vows and sacraments of a Church that was designed to be an eternal spiritual commonwealth. "So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another." That "we may grow up into Him in all things, which is the head, even Christ; from whom the whole body, fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love." There is no sympathy like this; no charity, no love like this. D. J. Burrell.]

BSBRomans 12:5 so in Christ we who are many are one body, and each member belongs to one another.

中〔基督徒生命的大能，大半就在它的团契里——第一，在信徒与基督奥秘的联合里；第二，在圣徒彼此之间同样奥秘、同样攸关生命的联合里。神所喜悦的，是要我们在这大家庭的交通中找到我们的力量，也找到我们最大的喜乐。在神的子民中间，没有一个人是单为自己活的。把我们彼此系在一起的，不仅是相互依存扶持的本能，更是一条活的亲属纽带——由教会的誓约与圣礼所印证；而教会的设立，本是要作一个永恒的属灵联邦。『我们这许多人，在基督里成为一身，互相联络作肢体。』使我们『凡事长进，连于元首基督；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。』没有哪种同情能与此相比；没有哪种慈惠、哪种爱能与此相比。伯勒尔（D. J. Burrell）〕
