宗教 / Christian/House Church
Chinese汉语词条或短语: 众肢体
教会内对其他信众的称呼。

“家庭教会众肢体同作见证”

“众肢体”在英文里有类似的说法吗?还是直接说followers/members of the house church?

谢谢帮忙!

English英语翻译:All members
说明:
The operating metaphor here is that of a living "body" -- the church is a body of which each Christian is a "member." It is just a coincidence of the English language that a church "member" (成员) is compared to a "member" of the body (肢体). The metaphor, by the way, is most obviously traced back to Paul in 1 Corinthians 12.

For 家庭教会众肢体同作见证, I would suggest something like:

"All members of the house church bear the same testimony"
"All house church members join in a single witness"
"The entire house church body bears the same testimony"
