2荣耀的召会，就是彰显神的召会，也必须是圣别、没有瑕疵的。这样一个圣别的召会，首先必须从一切凡俗的事物分别出来，然后被神的元素所渗透、浸透。召会要没有瑕疵，就必须没有搀杂。不洁是一回事，我们里面有搀杂又是另一回事。我们必须纯洁、没有搀杂。没有搀杂，意思是说，我们的所是里没有神之外的东西。譬如，我们就像宝石，里面没有外来的元素或本质。有一天召会将不仅是洁净、纯洁的，也是没有瑕疵、没有搀杂的。召会将完全是三一神与复活、提高并变化过之人性的调和。为使基督得著这样一个召会，我们现今正在经历祂的圣化、洁净、保养与顾惜。以弗所书头四章论到神永远定旨的完成。神要成就祂的定旨，就需要宇宙的新人，就是召会作为四章中那完全长成的人。就这一面说，新人乃是召会最高的一面。从召会是会众，我们往前到召会是神家里的亲人，然后进到召会是基督的身体，末了达到召会是完全长成的人。神的定旨需要得著成就，基督也需要得著满足。基督里面有一个渴望，一个深的愿望，要得著满足。惟有作新妇的召会，才能满足基督心里的渴望。
2The glorious church, the church that expresses God, must also be holy and without blemish. As such a holy church, she must be first separated from everything common and then permeated and saturated with the element of God. In order to be without blemish, the church must be without mixture. To be unclean is one thing, and to have some mixture within us is another. We need to be both pure and without mixture. To be without mixture means that in our being we have nothing other than God. For example, we are like precious stone that has no foreign element or substance within it. One day the church will not only be clean and pure, but also without blemish, without mixture. She will be altogether the mingling of the Triune God with a resurrected, uplifted, and transformed humanity. In order that Christ may gain such a church, we are presently undergoing His sanctifying, cleansing, nourishing, and cherishing. The first four chapters of Ephesians cover the fulfillment of God’s eternal purpose. For the fulfillment of His purpose, God needs the universal new man, the church as the full-grown man in chapter four. In this respect, the new man is the highest aspect of the church. From the church as the assembly we proceed to the church as the household of God, then to the church as the Body, and finally to the church as the full-grown man. Along with the need for God’s purpose to be fulfilled, there is also the need for Christ to be satisfied. Within Christ there is the longing, the deep desire, for satisfaction. Only the church as the Bride can satisfy the longing in Christ’she art.
