属天的奥秘 第780节

(一滴水译,2018-2023)

780、“凡有生命气息在里面的肉体”表示一个新生物,或他们从主接受新生命。这从“肉体”的含义清楚可知,“肉体”总体上是指全人类,具体地是指肉体人,如前面所阐述和说明的(574,661节)。因此,“凡有生命气息在里面的肉体”表示一个重生之人,因为他的自我里面有主的生命,也就是仁与信的生命。每个人都无非是“肉体”;但当仁与信的生命被主注入他时,他的肉体就活了,变得属灵和属天,并因被新造而被称为一个“新生物,或新造物”(马可福音16:15)。

Cooper(2008,2013)

[NCE]780. The fact that of all flesh that had the breath of life in it means a newly created being, or the fact that they received new life from the Lord, is established by the symbolism of flesh as every person in general and a body-centered one in particular. This meaning with its proof was presented earlier [574, 661]. So flesh that has the breath of life in it symbolizes an individual reborn, since within such a person's sense of autonomy lies the Lord's life, which is the vital force of charity and faith.
None of us is anything but flesh, but when the Lord stirs in us the living quality of charity and faith, our flesh comes to life and becomes spiritual and heavenly. Then we are called a new creature (Mark 16:15){*1} because we have been created anew.

Footnotes:
{*1} Mark 16:15 mentions "all creation" or "every creature." 2 Corinthians 5:17 and Galatians 6:15 speak of a "new creation" or "new creature." [LHC]

Potts(1905-1910) 780

780. Of all flesh wherein is the breath of lives. That this signifies a new creature, or that they received new life from the Lord, is evident from the signification of "flesh" as being in general all mankind, and specifically the corporeal man, as before said and shown. Hence "flesh wherein is the breath of lives" signifies a regenerated man, for in his Own there is the Lord's life, which is the life of charity and faith. Every man is only "flesh;" but when the life of charity and faith is breathed into him by the Lord, the flesh is made alive, and becomes spiritual and celestial, and is called a "new creature" (Mark 16:15), from having been created anew.

Elliott(1983-1999) 780

780. 'Of all flesh in which there was the spirit of lifea means a new creature, or the fact that they received new life from the Lord. This becomes clear from the meaning of 'flesh' as all mankind in general and a bodily-minded person in particular, as stated and shown already. Consequently 'flesh in which there was the spirit of life'a means a person who has been regenerated, for the Lord's life, which is the life of charity and faith, is there within his proprium. Nobody is anything more than flesh, but when the life of charity and faith is breathed into him by the Lord, his flesh in that case is made alive, becomes spiritual and celestial, and is called 'a new creature', Mark 16:15, from having been created anew.

Notes

a lit. of lives


Latin(1748-1756) 780

780. Quod 'de omni carne, in qua spiritus novam creaturam, seu quod novam vitam acceperint a Domino, constare potest a significatione 'carnis' quod sit omnis homo in genere, et corporeus in specie, ut prius dictum et ostensum est; inde 'caro, in qua spiritus vitarum,' significat regeneratum; nam in proprio ejus est vita Domini, quae est vita charitatis et fidei: omnis homo non est nisi caro; sed cum vita charitatis et fidei ei a Domino inspiratur, tunc vivificatur caro, et fit spiritualis et caelestis, et vocatur nova creatura, Marc. xvi 15, ex eo quod e novo creatus.
