FELLOWSHIP 團契

Man is made for society and Christians for the communion of saint.

Matthew Henry

人生而為社會一份子，基督徒生而為聖徒團契一份子。

We ought not to make any conditions of our brethren's acceptance with us but such as God has made the conditions of their acceptance with him.

Matthew Henry

我們不應該給我們的弟兄訂定我們接納他們的條件，我們的條件就應該像上帝接納我們的條件一樣。

For the early Christians koinonia was not the frilly 'fellowship' of church-sponsored bi-weekly outings. It was not tea, biscuits and sophisticated small talk in the Fellowship Hall after the sermon. It was an unconditional sharing of their lives with the other members of Christ's body.

Ronald J. Sider

對初代教會而言團契這個字可不是教會主持的雙週一次郊遊的那種做作的聯誼。團契也不是每次講道後，在教會交誼廳享用茶點、世故不著邊際閒談。團契是沒有條件的與其他基督肢體分享彼此的生命。
