总题：新妇的预备
在最纯洁、最圣别的意义上，圣经是一对宇宙配偶的罗曼史—神在基督里是新郎，神所救赎的人是新妇—主恢复的目标。
The Bible is a romance, in the most pure and the most holy sense, of a universal couple—God in Christ as the Bridegroom and God's redeemed people as the bride—the goal of the Lord's recovery.
主在恢复里主要的工作乃是主真正的工作，为要预备我们作祂荣耀的新妇；没有以弗所五章二十六节里所说，不断在性情上的圣化，新妇就无法预备好，启示录十九章七至九节也就无法应验。
The Lord's primary work in the recovery is His genuine work to prepare us to be His glorious bride; apart from the continual, dispositional sanctification spoken of in Ephesians 5:26, there is no way for the bride to be prepared and, hence, no way for Revelation 19:7-9 to be fulfilled.
在新约圣经里，“成熟”这辞用于指信徒在他们重生时所得着之基督的生命上长成并得以完全。
As used in the New Testament, the word mature refers to the believers' being full-grown and perfected in the life of Christ, which they received at the time of regeneration.
主的恢复乃是为着预备基督的新妇；至终，我们都要被模成奇妙的书拉密女；书拉密女作所罗门的复本，乃是那作基督配偶、新妇之新耶路撒冷最大并终极的表号。
The Lord's recovery is for the preparation of the bride of Christ; ultimately, we will be conformed to be the wonderful Shulammite, who, as the duplication of Solomon, is the greatest and ultimate figure of the New Jerusalem as the counterpart, the bride, of Christ.
