2在腓立比二章十四至十六节里，有许多重要的字辞和语句：发怨言、起争论、无可指摘、纯洁无杂、弯曲悖谬的世代、神的儿女、无瑕疵、好像发光之体显在世界里、将生命的话表明出来。我们必须一再祷读这些话。例如，我们若就著二章十四节的发怨言和起争论来祷告，就会吸入神的气息。不仅如此，我们会恨恶自己发怨言、起争论，并渴慕从其中蒙拯救。我们祷读主的话，就会对话有反应。这样，在我们的经历中，主的话就不是一本死字句的书，乃是神的气息，甚至是神的呼吸。我们祷读主的话，可能有时候一次就祷告整节圣经。不过，通常逐辞逐句祷读比较好。没有人可以一次吃下一整只鸡，我们一次只能吃一点。同样的原则，我们祷读主话的时候，应该一次祷读一点，甚至也许逐辞祷读。我们若用二章十四节的辞，如发怨言、起争论来祷告，我们就会得著神圣的注射，属天的豫防接种，这会拯救我们脱离发怨言和起争论。在我们的肉身上，有时候我们的皮肤有毛病，也许是病菌感染。有些情形，不论是清洗或擦皮肤外用药都治不好。然而，医生可能开内服药，却能药到病除。圣经是神圣的药剂，是对付一切消极事物最有效的解毒剂。应用主的话作为解毒剂的方法，不仅是思想、探讨或分析。我们更要藉著运用我们的灵来祷读主的话，领受主的话作为解毒剂。耶利米十五章十六节说，『我得著你的言语，就当食物吃了。』我们也要像申言者耶利米一样吃神的话。然而，有些基督徒反对这个观念；他们坚称，圣经只适合阅读及研究。但是，圣经不只是给人阅读、研究的，更是给人吃的。主耶稣说，『人活著不是单靠食物，乃是靠神口里所出的一切话。』（太四4。）这指明圣经的每一个字，甚至像发怨言、起争论这一类的话，都能供应我们生命。因此，我们可以逐字逐辞的，祷读像腓立比二章十四节这样的经节。如此，我们就能靠神口里所出的一切话而活著。
2In 2:14 through 16 there are many important words and phrases: murmurings, reasonings, blameless and guileless, children of God, without blemish, crooked and perverted gene ration, shine as lights, holding forth the word of life. We need to pray - read these words again and again. For example, if we pray with the words murmurings and reasonings in 2:14, we shall breathe in the breath of God. Furthermore, we shall come to hate our murmurings and reasonings and aspire to be saved from them. By pray-reading the Word, we respond to it. Then in our experience the Word is not a book in dead letters; instead, it is God’s breath, even His breathing. Sometimes when we pray-read the Word, we may pray a whole verse at one time. However, often it is better to pray-read word by word or phrase by phrase. No one can eat a whole chicken at once. Instead, we eat a little at a time. In the same principle, we should pray- read the Word a little at a time, perhaps even word by word. If we pray with the words murmurings and reasonings in 2:14, we shall receive a divine injection, a heavenly inoculation, which will save us from our murmurings and our reasonings. In our physical body, we sometimes develop a problem with our skin, perhaps an infection or a fungus. In some cases, neither cleansing nor application of medications to the skin will bring about healing. However, a physician may prescribe medication to be taken internally which will clear up the whole problem. The Bible is a divine medication, the most effective antidote to all negative things. The way to apply the Word as an antidote is not merely to think about it, consider it, or analyze it. We receive the antidote of the Word by exercising our spirit to pray-read it. Jeremiah 15:16 says, “Thy words were found, and I did eat them.” Like the prophet Jeremiah, weal so would eat the Word of God. Some Christians, however, oppose this concept, claiming that the Bible is good only for reading and studying. But the Bible is not only for reading and studying, but also for eating. The Lord Jesus said, “Man shall not live on bread alone, but one very word that proceeds out through the mouth of God” (Matt. 4:4). This indicates that every word of the Bible, even words such as murmurings and reasonings, can supply us with life. Hence, we may pray-read a verse like 2:14 word by word. In this way, we shall live by every word that proceeds out through the mouth of God.
