19圣灵的交通是沟通、来往、传输。因此,爱是源头,恩是流出,交通乃是带著源头之流出的传输。这样,我们有爱、恩、与交通作我们的享受,我们能有分于这三种属性。林后十三章十四节清楚说出恩典是属基督的,爱是属神的,交通是属圣灵的。哥林多后书强调恩典,所以十三章十四节先题到恩典。保罗在这卷书的别处很强的说到恩典。譬如,他在一章十二节说,『我们所夸的,是我们的良心见证我们凭著神的单纯和纯诚,在世为人,不靠属肉体的智慧,乃靠神的恩典,对你们更是这样。』然后在八章一至十五节,我们看见来自四方的恩典,特别是基督的恩典。保罗在八章九节说,『你们知道我们主耶稣基督的恩典,祂本来富足,却为你们成了贫穷,叫你们因祂的贫穷,可以成为富足。』然后在十二章九节,有整卷圣经中论到恩典也许最有名的一节:『祂对我说,我的恩典彀你用的,因为我的能力,是在人的软弱上显得完全。』
19The fellowship of the Holy Spirit is a matter of communication, transportation, transmission. Therefore, love is the source, grace is the flow, and fellowship is the transmission of the flow with the source. In this way we have love, grace, and fellowship as our enjoyment, and we participate in them. Second Corinthians 13:14 clearly says that grace is of Christ, love is of God, and fellowship is of the Holy Spirit. Because the book of 2 Corinthians emphasizes grace, grace is mentioned first in 13:14. Elsewhere in this book Paul speaks strongly of grace. For example, in 1:12 he says, “For our boasting is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in singleness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, we conducted ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you.” Then in 8:1-15 we see grace from four parties, in particular, the grace of Christ. In 8:9 Paul says, “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, being rich, for your sakes He became poor, in order that you by His poverty might become rich.” Then in 12:9 we have perhaps the most famous verse on grace in the whole Bible: “And He has said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness
