从主灵到主灵
多年来，我一直想要了解十八节“从荣耀到荣耀”的意义。我查考许多书籍，但是找不到满意的解释。我们不该把这句话看作理所当然的，以为我们已经懂了。这里的荣耀是甚么？“从荣耀到荣耀”到底是甚么意思？从荣耀到荣耀的意思是，从主灵到主灵；有了主灵再加上主灵。这意思是说，主灵作为丰富的供应，一直不断的加到我们里面。
我们可以用吃东西的例证，来领会主灵怎样不断的加到我们里面。倘若你应邀与经常吃鸡的家庭同住，他们每天给你摆上的都有鸡。你所吃的就是鸡肉再加上鸡肉。吃了这么多的鸡，末了你就由鸡的元素所构成。这元素要渗透你的组织和细胞。就某种意义说，你物质的身体里面渐渐变化成为鸡肉。基督这属天的鸡肉，天天、时时加到我们里面，我们就渐渐变化成为祂的形像。这变化乃是从荣耀到荣耀，从主灵到主灵。
变化的见证
我们以康乃馨开花来说明这个荣耀。基督的复活就是基督的开花。这位开花的基督，复活的基督，就是荣耀。我们现今乃是在这渐渐变化的过程中，从这荣耀到这荣耀。一天过一天，这荣耀是我们的供应。所以我们说，渐渐变化，从荣耀到荣耀，远超过照着宗教或道德教训而有仅仅外在行为的改良。

From the Lord Spirit to the Lord Spirit – 2 Cor. 3:17
For many years I have been trying to understand the phrase “from glory to glory” used in 3:18. I consulted a number of books, but I failed to find a satisfactory explanation. We should not take this matter for granted or assume that we understand it. What is the glory here, and what is the meaning of “from glory to glory”? From glory to glory means from the Lord Spirit to the Lord Spirit. The Lord Spirit is upon the Lord Spirit. This means that the Lord Spirit as the rich supply is continually added into our being.
We may use an illustration from our eating to understand the continual addition of the Lord Spirit into us. Suppose you are invited to stay with a family that eats a great deal of chicken. Day after day they serve you a meal containing chicken. In your eating you go from chicken to chicken. Eventually, by eating so much chicken, you will become constituted of the element of chicken. This element will permeate your tissues and cells. In a sense, your physical body will be transformed inwardly into chicken. Day by day and hour by hour Christ, the heavenly chicken, is being added to us, and we are being transformed into His image. This transformation is from glory to glory, from the Lord Spirit to the Lord Spirit.
A Testimony of Transformation
We illustrated this glory by referring to the blossoming of a carnation flower. Christ’s resurrection was His blossoming. This blossoming Christ, the resurrected Christ, is glory. Now we are in the process of being transformed from this glory to this glory. This glory is our supply day by day. This is the reason that to be transformed from glory to glory far surpasses a mere outward improvement of behavior according to religious or ethical teaching.
