Outline
1贰 在歌六13，基督的佳偶经过变化的各阶段，在基督生命的成熟里，成为书拉密女，就是基督的复制、复本，配得过祂，好与祂成为婚配：
1II. In Song of Songs 6:13 the lover of Christ, having passed through the various stages of transformation, has become, in the maturity of Christ's life, the Shulammite, the reproduction and duplication of Christ to match Him for their marriage:
2一 “书拉密女”是“所罗门”的女性写法，指明她在生命上成熟，在生命、性情、彰显和功用上，已成为与基督一样，为要完成神永远的经纶—13节。
2A. Shulammite is the feminine form of Solomon, indicating that, in the maturity of life, she has become the same as Christ in life, in nature, in expression, and in function for the accomplishment of God's eternal economy—v. 13.
3二 在雅歌三章，基督的佳偶达到成熟的阶段，已成了华轿，至终主将她视为耶路撒冷—9~10节，六4：
3B. In Song of Songs 3 the lover of Christ reaches a mature stage, becoming a palanquin, and eventually is reckoned by the Lord as Jerusalem—vv. 9-10; 6:4:
4１ 她达到这阶段乃是借着天然人的破碎与意志的降服—三6，四1、四4。
41. She reaches this stage by the breaking of her natural man and by the subduing of her will—3:6; 4:1, 4.
5２ 基督的佳偶借着在基督的升天里生活，在复活里作新造，就在基督生命的丰富里成熟，使她成为神的建造，就是成为神的圣所—六4。
52. Through her living in Christ's ascension as the new creation in resurrection, the lover of Christ becomes mature in the riches of the life of Christ so that she becomes the building of God, the sanctuary of God—6:4.

6歌六4 我的佳偶啊，你美丽如得撒，秀美如耶路撒冷，威武如展开旌旗的军队。
6S. S. 6:4 You are as beautiful, my love, as Tirzah, as lovely as Jerusalem, as terrible as an army with banners.
713 回来，回来，书拉密女啊；回来，回来，使我们得观看你。你们为何要观看书拉密女，像观看二营军兵跳舞呢？
713 Return, return, O Shulammite; return, return, that we may gaze at you. Why should you gaze at the Shulammite, as upon the dance of two camps?
8到雅歌六章末了，佳偶经过变化的各阶段，成为所罗门的复本。她现在称为书拉密女（所罗门的女性写法—13），因她在生命、性情和形像上，成了与所罗门一样的，配得过他，好与他成为婚配。这……指明新耶路撒冷。在新耶路撒冷里，救赎的神（由所罗门所表征）和祂所有蒙救赎者（由书拉密女所表征）成为一。新耶路撒冷乃是神性与人性的调和，以彰显经过过程并终极完成之三一神的人性美德（雅歌生命读经，六九页）。
8By the end of Song of Songs 6 the lover, having passed through various stages of transformation, has become Solomon’s duplication. She is now called Shulammite (the feminine form of Solomon—v. 13), for she has become the same as Solomon in life, nature, expression, and function to match him for their marriage…[This] indicates the New Jerusalem. In the New Jerusalem the redeeming God (signified by Solomon) and all His redeemed (signified by the Shulammite) become one. The New Jerusalem is a mingling of divinity and humanity to express the processed, consummated Triune God in human virtues. (Life-study of Song of Songs, p. 55)

9寻求基督者达到蒙呼召在升天里生活这点之后，就达到了最高的成就。在她所达到的成就中，她成了四样美妙的事物，就是她变化的终极完成：园子；圣所；天上的光体；威武的军队，以得胜者，书拉密女，就是基督的复本，作领头的人。她成为园子，不像她成为圣所同保障（就是圣城耶路撒冷）那样高，那样深。她成为这样的建筑，就是神的居所，有城围绕作其保障。
9After reaching the point where she is called to live in ascension, the seeker of Christ has reached her highest attainment. In her attainment she becomes four wonderful things as the consummation of her transformation: a garden, a sanctuary, the heavenly bodies, and a terrible army with the overcomer, the Shulammite, who is the reproduction of Christ, as the leader. Her becoming a garden is not as high or as deep as her becoming a sanctuary with a safeguard, that is, the holy city, Jerusalem. She becomes such a building, which is God’s dwelling place with a city surrounding it to be its safeguard.
10歌六4说，“我的佳偶啊，你美丽如得撒……。”得撒后来有黑色的背景，因为国度分裂时，它成了以色列诸王的首都，就是以色列王宫的所在（王上十四17，十五21、33， 十六6、十六8~9、十六15、十六17）。但雅歌以正面的意义提起得撒以其美丽闻名。……虽然国度分裂时，得撒有黑色的背景，但寻求者在正面的意义上被称赞为美丽如得撒。
10Song of Songs 6:4 says, “You are as beautiful, my love, as Tirzah…” Tirzah eventually had a black background because at the division of the kingdom it became the capital city for the kings of Israel, the place of the king’s palace (1 Kings 14:17; 15:21, 33; 16:6, 8-9, 15, 17). But Song of Songs mentions Tirzah in a positive sense as being noted for its beauty…Although Tirzah had a black background when the kingdom was divided, the seeker is praised for being as beautiful as Tirzah, in a positive sense.
11基督的佳偶借着在基督的升天里生活，在复活里作新造，而在基督生命的丰富里成熟，使她不仅成为基督的园子，也成为得撒所表征神的圣所，以及耶路撒冷所表征神圣所的保障。在基督的生命里成熟是大事。寻求者被比喻为两个建筑：一个是王宫，另一个是围绕王宫作其保障的城。
11Through her living in Christ’s ascension as the new creation in resurrection, the lover of Christ becomes mature in the riches of the life of Christ so that she becomes not only a garden to Christ but also the sanctuary of God, signified by Tirzah, and its safeguard, signified by Jerusalem. To be mature in the life of Christ is a great thing. The seeker is likened to two buildings. One is the palace of the king. The other is the city surrounding the palace as its safeguard.
12园子无法与王宫和城相比。园子只是王眷临的地方，却不是王所住的居所，或保卫王宫的城。成为园子非常好，但并不够。我们必须达到最高峰，就是神的建造。
12A garden cannot be compared with a palace and a city. A garden is just a visiting place for the king, but it is not the dwelling place where the king lives or the city that safeguards the king’s palace. To be a garden is very good, but it is not sufficient. We have to reach the highest peak, the building of God.
13成为基督的园子，乃是在基督的生命及其追测不尽之丰富的元素里得以繁茂；成为神的圣所，乃是凭着基督的生命及其追测不尽的丰富而长大，因而被建造（与基督身体的建造有关—弗四15~16）。在旧约里，神的建造由得撒和耶路撒冷所表征；在新约里，这建造是基督生机的身体。基督生机的身体也是基督的妻子（弗五25~32）。不但如此，基督生机的身体终极完成新耶路撒冷的建造。
13To become a garden to Christ is to be flourishing in the element of Christ’s life with its unsearchable riches; to become the sanctuary of God is to be built up (related to the building of the Body of Christ) in the growth with the life of Christ with its unsearchable riches (Eph. 4:15-16). In the Old Testament the building of God is typified by Tirzah and Jerusalem; in the New Testament this building is the organic Body of Christ. The organic Body of Christ is also Christ’s wife (5:25-32). Furthermore, the organic Body of Christ consummates, completes, the building of the New Jerusalem.
14神的圣所被幔子分为两部分：外面的圣所和里面的至圣所。神的圣所虽在诸天之上，但被表征我们肉体的幔子（来十19~20）分为两部分。在神的经纶里，这样一个美妙的东西—神的圣所，竟有个消极的东西—我们的肉体（李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第三册，四二八至四三○页）。
14The sanctuary of God is divided by the veil into two sections: the outer Holy Place and the inner Holy of Holies. Although the sanctuary of God is in the heavens, it is divided into two sections by the veil, which signifies our flesh (Heb. 10:19-20). In God’s economy, such a marvelous thing—the sanctuary of God—has a negative thing—our flesh. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 3, “Crystallization-study of Song of Songs,” pp. 333-334)
