| If asked to define the Trinity, we can only say that
it is not this or that. Augustine 如果問我如何定義三位一體，我只能說三位一體不是這或那，但卻難以說清楚祂的定義。 |
| No wonder that the doctrine
of the Trinity is inexplicable, seeing that the nature of God incomprehensible. Our
faith must assent to what our reason cannot comprehend, otherwise we can never be
Christians. Francis Burkitt 看見上帝本質的難以理解，也難怪三位一體的信仰是無法解釋的。我們的信仰必須認可我們理性無法理解的，否則我們永遠都當不了基督徒。 |
| Thousands of the ablest minds of the centuries have
pondered this problem and no man has been able to explain it; who then invented it?

It must be a revelation. G. H. Lang 歷代以來千萬頂尖智囊曾經思考這問題但卻不得其解；到底誰發明上帝？人發明的，人可以解釋；不是人發明的，人無法解釋清楚。那一定是來自造物者的啟示。 |
| The Trinity is the basis of
the gospel, and the gospel is a declaration of the Trinity in action. J. I. Packer 三位一體是福音的基礎，而福音又是闡明三位一體的具體表現。 |
| Nothing will so enlarge the intellect and magnify
the whole soul of man as a devout, earnest, continued investigation of the whole subject
of the Trinity. C. H. Spurgeon 再沒有任何事情比全心、全意、持續不斷研究三位一體還能臻益我們的心靈智慧。 |
| Love and faith are at home
in the mystery of the Godhead. Let reason kneel in reverence outside. William Walsh 愛心、信心在上帝奧秘神性殿堂之中。讓理性在門外謙恭屈膝。 |
| Our narrow thoughts can no more comprehend the
Trinity in Unity than a nutshell will hold all the water in the sea. Thomas Watson 我們狹隘心靈對三位一體的瞭解遠遜於要用一個貝殼舀盡海水。 |
| Tell me how it is that in
this room there are three candles and but one light, and I will explain to you the mode of
the divine existence.. John Wesley 你告訴我為什麼在一個房間裡點燃三根蠟燭卻只有一個燭光，那我就能跟你解釋神性存在的方式。 |
