1. In various ways, we are all liable to slip back to a trust in works. We would even think of our faith as if it were a work. P4

我们都会以各种不同的方式，不知不觉地退回到倚靠行为的光景中。我们甚至会把自己的信心，当作一种行为来看待。 P4

2. You are to be sympathetic, understanding, and patient, but if you become affected personally by their condition you will be reacting in a way that you should not. You must keep yourself in control. P6

你应当富有同情心，理解他们，并且有耐心；但是，如果你个人的情绪受到他们处境的影响，你就会作出不应有的反应。你必须保持自制 P6

3. If a man is saved it is because God saves him; if he is lost it is because he has not believed. P8

一个人若得救，是因为神拯救了他；一个人若灭亡，是因为他没有相信。 P8

4. Therefore do not try to understand, do not try to reconcile prayer with the sovereignty of God. The Bible teaches me the sovereignty of God and, equally definitely, it teaches me the duty of prayer. I hold to that doctrine and I pray. I am not concerned about reconciling them. I cannot. Nobody else can. I imagine that in the glory we shall be given the explanation. P10

因此，不要试图去理解，也不要试图调和祷告与神的主权。圣经教导我神的主权，也同样明确地教导我祷告的本分。我持守这两项教义，并且祷告。我并不在意要把它们调和起来。我做不到，别人也做不到。我相信，将来在荣耀里，我们会得到其中的解释。 P10

5. Here, then, is the question: Do you believe the doctrine enunciated in chapter 9 of the Epistle to the Romans? The best way of testing whether you do or do not is this: Do you long for the salvation of others? Are you praying for it? P11

那么，问题就在这里：你是否相信《罗马书》第九章所阐明的教义？检验你是否真正相信它，最好的方法就是：你是否渴望别人得救？你是否正在为此祷告？ P11

6. I am of the opinion that the greatest danger confronting the Christian church and every individual Christian at this moment is to fail to understand and appreciate the absolute necessity of a precise, clear knowledge of the truth. P29

我认为，当今基督教会以及每一位基督徒所面临的最大危险，就是没有认识并珍视对真理具有准确、清晰认识这一绝对必要性。 P29

7. The moment men and women see this, they do it at once; and if this element of immediacy is not there, there is some misunderstanding somewhere. It is a righteousness provided by God. It is a free gift, and all I do is to hold out my hands to receive it; nothing else. P51

人一旦看见这一点，就会立刻这样做；如果没有这种即时性，就说明某个地方存在误解。这是神所赐的义，是白白的恩赐；我所要做的，只是伸出双手来领受它，此外别无他事。 P51

8. Any teaching concerning salvation which does not express itself in terms of the demands of the law of God is a false teaching. P54

凡关于救恩的教导，若不是以神律法的要求来表达，就是错误的教导。 P54

9. And one of the purposes of salvation is to enable us to live a life such as is demanded by the holy law of God. It is a very dangerous teaching which says that the Christian now has a lower standard. P57

救恩的目的之一，就是使我们能够过一种符合神圣洁律法要求的生活。那种声称基督徒如今所遵循的标准已经降低了的教导，是非常危险的。 P57

10. It was never meant to save, it was never meant but to bring home the knowledge of transgression and to establish guilt. That was its one and only purpose. P73

律法从来不是为了拯救人；它唯一的目的，是使人真正认识自己的过犯，并确立人的罪责。 P73

11. I say once more that the most ignorant, the most illiterate, and the most benighted can believe this message, and be saved by it in a second. That is the whole basis of missionary work. P87

我再说一次：即使是最无知、最没有文化、最蒙昧的人，也能够相信这个信息，并在顷刻之间因此得救。这正是宣教工作的全部基础。 P87

12. So it is no use saying to people, ‘Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ,’ because their answer is: ‘Who is Jesus Christ? What does believing in Jesus Christ mean?’ P130

所以，仅仅对人说“当信主耶稣基督”是没有用的，因为他们会问：“耶稣基督是谁？相信耶稣基督是什么意思？” P130

13. Now the danger is that, in the anxiety to bring people to salvation, too little content may be given, so that if people merely say ‘Yes’ to something that is said to them, then all is thought to be well. I am just trying to show that that is not how the Apostles evangelised. P130

现在的危险是：由于急于带领人得救，所传讲的内容可能太少，以至于只要人们对别人向他们所说的某件事回答“是”，大家就以为一切都好了。我只是要说明，使徒们并不是这样传福音的。 P130

14. The principle, therefore, is this: a full and deep understanding of the whole of doctrine, thank God, is not essential to salvation. We ought to have it, and that is why we study these things, that we may grow in grace, and in the knowledge of the Lord, but at the moment of belief and of salvation we do not need to know it all. To include it in the evangelistic message is to do violence to that message. P13

因此，原则就是：感谢神，对整套教义全面而深入的理解，并不是得救所必不可少的。我们当然应当追求这样的认识，所以我们研读这些真理，为要在恩典中成长，并更多认识主；然而，在人相信并得救的那一刻，并不需要已经明白这一切。若把这些都纳入福音信息之中，反而是在歪曲福音本身。 P139

15. He did not say to them, ‘You can do nothing. You must wait until the Holy Spirit moves you. You must make sure whether you are elect or not.’ He preached, ‘Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins’ [Acts 2:37–38]. P139

彼得并没有对他们说：“你们什么也不能做；必须等候圣灵感动你们；必须先确定自己是不是蒙拣选的人。”他所传讲的是：“你们各人要悔改，奉耶稣基督的名受洗，叫你们的罪得赦。”（徒 2:37–38） P139

16. It is this confession that ‘Jesus is the Lord’ and all that that means. It is this confession from the heart that ‘God has raised him from the dead’ and all that that means. And that is justification by faith and by faith alone. P140

就是承认“耶稣是主”，以及这句话所包含的一切意义；也是从心里承认“神已经使祂从死里复活”，以及这句话所包含的一切意义。这就是因信称义，并且唯独因信称义。 P140

17. The heart in Scripture very rarely means only the feelings. It includes that, and sometimes it only means that — the context will generally make it plain — but in the vast majority of instances, the word heart in Scripture means the centre, the very innermost citadel, of the personality. Or, if you like, it means the whole personality. P146

圣经中的“心”很少只是指情感。它包括情感，有时也确实只是指情感——上下文通常会清楚表明这一点——但在绝大多数情况下，圣经中的“心”是指人格的中心，是人格最深处的堡垒。或者也可以说，它指的是整个人格。 P146

18. So when the Scripture says that with the heart we believe that God has raised Him from the dead, it means that with the whole of our being we believe that. ‘With the heart man believeth unto righteousness’: with the whole of his personality, not merely his feelings, not merely his intellect, but the totality of everything that he is. P146

所以，当圣经说我们从心里相信神使祂从死里复活时，意思是我们以整个生命来相信这件事。“人心里相信，就可以称义”：这是以他的整个人格来相信，不只是他的情感，也不只是他的理智，而是以他整个人的全部来相信。 P146

19. There is such a thing as mistaking a theological intellectualism for saving faith. It is the danger of believing the doctrines of salvation instead of believing in the Person of Christ and having a living faith in Him. P158

确实存在这样一种错误：把神学上的理智认同误当作得救的信心。其危险就在于，人只是相信有关救恩的教义，却没有相信基督这位有位格的主，也没有对祂怀有活泼的信心。 P158

20. conviction means that the truth has come to us with power. P166

“确信”意味着真理带着能力临到我们。P166

21. ‘Faith,’ he says, ‘saving faith, is a certain conviction, wrought in the heart by the Holy Spirit, as to the truth of the gospel, and a hearty reliance (trust) on the promises of God in Christ.’ That is it! It is more than being aware of the truth, it is a reliance upon it, it is a committal of yourself to it and a casting of yourself utterly and entirely upon it. P17

“信心，”他说，“得救的信心，是圣灵在人的心中所作成的一种确实确信，使人确信福音的真理，并全心信赖（信靠）神在基督里的应许。”就是这样！信心不只是知道真理，而是信赖真理，把自己交托给真理，并且完完全全地投靠它。 P172

22. You can believe with your mind that Jesus is the Son of God, you can have your head packed with theology, but unless you have felt your need of a Saviour, and unless you have committed yourself utterly to Him and rely only upon Him and give yourself to Him that He may save you, you have not got saving faith. P173

你可以在理智上相信耶稣是神的儿子，也可以满脑子都是神学知识；但是，除非你已经感受到自己需要一位救主，除非你把自己完全交托给祂，单单倚靠祂，并将自己交给祂来拯救，否则你还没有得救的信心。 P173

23. In other words, you can be a true believer without having this full assurance of salvation. P181

换句话说，一个人即使没有这种完全的得救确据，也可能是一位真正的信徒。P181

24. This distinction between accepting Christ as Saviour and taking Him as Lord is utterly unscriptural. P185

这种把接受基督为救主，与接受祂为主区分开来的做法，完全不符合圣经。P185

25. The Christian, in the eyes of the wise man of the world, has always been a fool. We cannot believe that Jesus is the Lord, and that God has raised Him from the dead, P203

在世上的聪明人看来，基督徒向来都是愚昧人。我们不可能既相信耶稣是主，又相信神已经使祂从死里复活，P203

26. What does ‘the name’ stand for? It is a Hebrew expression which is often used in the Old Testament and means the person himself. P244

“这名”代表什么？这是旧约中经常使用的一种希伯来表达，意思是这个人本身。P244

27. Reading is supplementary — a good supplement, but never a substitute. It is when people substitute reading for preaching that disaster comes in. But reading as a supplement to the preaching is, of course, excellent. P272

阅读是补充——是很好的补充，但绝不能取代讲道。人若以阅读代替讲道，灾祸就会随之而来；但若把阅读作为讲道的补充，那当然是极好的。P272

28. It is not enough that we should be right. We can be right, and yet we can handle our subject or present it in such a thoroughly bad way that we do more harm than good. We must be right, not only in our doctrine and proof, but in our method also. P321

仅仅立场正确还不够。我们可能是正确的，却以极其糟糕的方式处理或表达这个主题，以至于造成的伤害多于益处。我们不仅在教义和论证上必须正确，在方法上也必须正确。P321

29. There is no greater proof, ultimately, of the truth of the Christian faith than fulfilled prophecy. It is one of our most powerful arguments. Let us never forget it. P324

归根结底，没有什么比已经应验的预言更能证明基督教信仰的真实性。这是我们最有力的论据之一。我们绝不可忘记这一点。P324

30. The great danger that people fall into is this: they forget that an essential part of biblical teaching in connection with election and predestination is to assert, at the same time, our responsibility. If you preach that doctrine in such a way as to make each person an automaton or a machine, you are doing violence to the Scripture. The Apostle Paul, who preaches the doctrine so powerfully in Romans 9, is equally careful to assert our responsibility. P340

人们很容易陷入的巨大危险是：他们忘记了，在圣经关于拣选和预定的教导中，一个不可缺少的部分，就是同时强调人的责任。你若以一种把每个人都说成自动人或机器的方式来传讲这项教义，就是在曲解圣经。使徒保罗在《罗马书》第九章中如此有力地传讲这项教义，同时也同样谨慎地强调我们的责任。 P340

31. What I am trying to say is that there is never true joy until there has been a thorough preliminary ‘law-work’. It is only those who realise their state who rejoice when they hear the gospel. P350

我想说明的是：若没有彻底的、前期的“律法工作”（law-work），人就绝不会有真正的喜乐。唯有真正认识自己光景的人，在听见福音时才会欢喜快乐。 P350

32. We are too ready to repeat formulae; we are too ready to give assent to a kind of ‘believism’, and this is, of course, the sole explanation of the absence of a deep joy. P350

我们太容易重复一些公式化的话语；也太容易满足于一种“唯信主义（believism）”式的认同，而这正是缺乏深刻喜乐的唯一原因。 P350

33. You have to ‘take time to be holy’. You have to take time to get a conviction of sin. You will never know what it is to be thrilled by the sight of the messenger coming across the top of the mountain unless you know what captivity is, unless you realise the truth about yourself. P351

你必须“花时间追求圣洁”。你必须花时间真正知罪。除非你知道被掳是什么，除非你认识到关于自己的真相，否则你永远不会明白，看见报信者越过山顶而来时，那种令人激动的喜悦究竟是什么。P351

34. But let us remember that, ‘A man convinced against his will, is of the same opinion still.’ P358

但让我们记住：“一个人若是在违背自己意愿的情况下被说服，他其实仍然仍持原来的意见。” P358

35. Ultimately, unbelief has nothing to do with intellect. P382

归根结底，不信与人的理智无关。P382

36. God has one method of salvation and it has always been the method that we have considered — that is, justification by faith only, not by works, not by nationality, not by birth and upbringing. P389

神只有一种救恩之道，而且始终都是我们所考察的这条道路——就是唯独因信称义，不是靠行为，不是凭民族身份，也不是凭出生和成长背景。P389

37. Are you filled with the Spirit? Is there a danger that somebody might think that you are filled with ‘new wine’ because you are so filled with the spirit of praise and of rejoicing? That is the New Testament Christian. P398

你是否被圣灵充满？是否有可能因为你充满了赞美和喜乐的灵，以至于有人会以为你是被“新酒”灌满了？这才是新约中的基督徒。P398
