CONVICTION of SIN 認罪

It is a universal law of the higher life that the better a man becomes, the more sensitive he is to sin.

這是放諸四海而皆準的美好生活法則，當一個人變得越好時，也對罪變得更敏感。

As the heart is more washed, we grow more sensible of its remaining defilement; just as we are more displeased with a single spot on a new coat than with a hundred stains on an old one.

John Berridge

當我們的心越被洗滌潔淨時，我們越能察覺殘留的污穢；就像我們可以忍受舊外套上的無數瑕疵，卻不能忍受新大衣上的一個斑點。

No man begins to be good till he sees himself to be bad.

Thomas Brooks

未知己惡，焉能成其為善。

The greater the saint, the greater the sense of sinfulness.

G. B. Duncan

上善者，越知己惡。

Christ is not sweet till sin be made bitter to us.

John Flavel

未覺罪惡苦澀，焉知基督甘甜。

When men begin to complain more of their sins than of their afflictions then there begins to be some hope of them.

Matthew Henry

若人苦惱自己的罪多過埋怨自己的難處，那他就有藥可救了。

I have no other name than sinner; sinner is my name, sinner is my surname.

Martin Luther

除了「罪人」我別無他名；「罪人」是我的名，也是我的姓。

The recognition of sin is the beginning of salvation.

Martin Luther

知悉罪惡正是救恩的開始。

You cannot command convictions of sin to come when you like.

Robert Murray M'Cheyne

你沒有辦法隨心所欲想認罪就認罪。（認罪可不是一個人高興認罪，就會認罪，因為那是聖靈的動工。）

Conviction of sin is essentially an awareness of a wrong relationship with God.

J. I. Packer

認罪基本上就是察覺自己與上帝的關係不對。

In review of God's manifold blessings, the thing I most seem to thank him for is the conviction of sin.

Friedrich Tholuck

審視上帝顯明的福祉，最令我感恩的莫過於認罪一事。

Until a man has got into trouble with his heart he is not likely to get out of trouble with God.

A. W. Tozer

若非陷入內心掙扎的苦楚，人無法脫離與上帝相處的問題。

No man can feel sin, but by grace.

Thomas Watson

若非恩典，無人知罪。
