【腓2:3-4】凡事不可结党，不可贪图虚浮的荣耀，只要存心谦卑，各人看别人比自己强。各人不要单顾自己的事，也要顾别人的事。【Phil 2:3-4】Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

前面提到，作为基督的身体，如果教会的肢体都背起自己的十字架，各自为基督使肉体受苦，就能意念相同、爱心相同，有一样的心思和意念（腓2:2）。我们肉体里的情欲、骄傲、结党、纷争、贪图虚荣的权势就会瓦解。As we mentioned earlier, as the Body of Christ, if every member of the Church takes up their own cross and allows the flesh to suffer for Christ’s sake, then we’ll be like-minded, sharing the same love, and being of one spirit and purpose (Philippians 2:2). The powers of fleshly desire, pride, division, strife, and empty glory within us will crumble. 基督在十字架上所彰显的爱，是彻底放下自我、为成全他人而舍己。祂从不求自己的益处，凡事祝福他人，以别人能更多被神使用、被兴起为喜乐。The love Christ showed on the cross is a love that completely lets go of self and gives itself for others. He never sought His own advantage but always blessed others, rejoicing to see them used and raised up by God. 基督看我们—祂的教会—比祂自己更宝贵；祂没有嫉妒或比较，反而愿意祂的教会做比祂更大的事。Christ treasures us—His Church—more than Himself; He doesn’t envy or compare, but gladly desires that His Church do even greater works than He did.

若跟随祂的人不再以自己为中心，作为基督身体的肢体，都以基督为头，在自己的本位上各按其职，有谁的脚会嫉妒眼睛？手会与眼睛争竞吗？不是彼此顺服、彼此扶持、彼此成全吗？我需要你，你也需要我……这是何等不同于世界的价值观！If those who follow Him no longer live centred on themselves, but as members of Christ’s Body take Him as the Head and each serve faithfully in their own place—would a foot ever envy an eye? Would a hand compete with an eye? No, they would submit to, support, and build up one another. I need you, and you need me… What a contrast to the world’s way of thinking! 这样的教会，是何等合一、何等协调、何等有力的军队—仇敌岂能不惧怕？教会之所以强大，不是因为每个人都突出，而是因为每个肢体都彼此相爱、成全，让基督在我们中间被高举。Such a church is united, in harmony, and full of strength—how could the enemy not be afraid? The Church’s power doesn’t come from individuals standing out, but from every member loving and building one another up so that Christ is lifted high among us.

保罗在这段经文中揭示了属灵合一的秘诀—不是靠外在的律法或人的协调，而是靠内在的谦卑、舍己。Paul reveals in this passage the secret of spiritual unity—it’s not achieved by outward rules or human coordination, but by inner humility and self-denial. 真正的合一，不是意见完全相同，而是心里都以基督为中心。当人被自己的骄傲、比较和虚荣驱使时，纷争就产生；但当人让基督的生命在心里掌权，就会自然地谦卑、体恤、顾及他人。True unity doesn’t mean everyone thinks exactly the same, but that every heart is centred on Christ. When pride, comparison, and vanity drive us, conflict follows; but when Christ’s life rules in our hearts, humility, compassion, and care for others flow naturally.主啊，感谢你，把我放在教会中，成为你的肢体。感谢你没有赐给我许多恩赐，乃是让我在一切服事中，与肢体配搭同行。Lord, thank You for placing me in Your Church as part of Your Body. Thank You for not giving me many gifts, but for letting me serve together with others. 我需要别人，别人也需要我。你这样做，是为了拔除我里面骄傲的根，让我不觉得自己了不起，不在不知不觉中变得野心勃勃，忘记自己的本相，以致彼此争竞、贪图虚浮的荣耀。I need them, and they need me. You’ve done this to pull out the root of pride in me, so I won’t think too highly of myself or become ambitious without realising it, forgetting who I really am, and ending up in rivalry or vain glory.

主啊，让我学会以你的眼光，欣赏他人、尊重他人，顾及别人的需要，喜乐地看见别人被你使用、被你兴起。 让我凡事谦卑、温柔、忍耐，用爱心彼此联络，用和平彼此交通， 凡事以基督为首，与众肢体同心合意，兴旺福音。Lord, teach me to see others through Your eyes—to value, respect, and care for them, rejoicing when they’re used and lifted up by You. Help me to be humble, gentle, and patient in all things, bearing with one another in love, keeping the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace, taking Christ as the Head, and working with others to advance the gospel. 开我的眼睛，让我明白你蓝图，在每天的小事中寻求你心意， 珍惜每一次与肢体同工的机会，一举一动靠恩典、竭力丧掉己，使全体肢体彼此配搭、彼此成全、在爱里一同成长。成为在圣灵里合一，有权能践踏仇敌，得胜的教会，与基督一同坐在天上，使神得荣耀。Open my eyes to grasp Your design, to seek Your will in everyday matters, and to treasure each opportunity to serve together. May every step be by grace, striving to die to self, so that the whole Body may be joined and built together in love, growing in maturity, united in the Spirit, empowered to crush the enemy, becoming a victorious Church seated with Christ in the heavenly realms, bringing glory to God.
