JESUS CHRIST - Deity and Humanity

耶穌基督 - 神性與人性

Christ was a complete man.

Augustine

基督是一個完全的人。

Jesus Christ is God in the form of man; as completely God as if he were not man; as completely man as if he were not God.

A. J. F. Behrends

耶穌基督是神取了人的形象;祂不是人而是完全的神;祂也不是神而是完全的人。

Jesus Christ, the condescension of divinity, and the exaltation of humanity.

Philips Brooks

耶穌基督,神性的屈尊降卑,同時也是人性的擢昇高舉。

Christ uncrowned himself to crown us, and put off his robes to put on our rags, and came down from heaven to keep us out of hell.  He fasted forty days that he might feast us to all eternity; he came from heaven to earth that he might send us from earth to heaven.

W. Dyer

基督卸下冠冕好讓我們加冠,脫下自己的袍子穿上我們的破舊衣裳,從高天下降好讓我們遠離地獄。祂禁食四十晝夜好讓我們共享永生宴席;他從高天來到世上好讓我們從世界升到高天。

Jesus became as like us as God can be.

Donald English

耶穌盡一位神所能的變成像我們一樣。

Jesus did not become identical to us; he did become identified with us.

Donald English

耶穌不是變得跟我們一樣;祂是變成跟我們相同一樣是人。

Christ's humanity is the great hem of the garment, through which we can touch his Godhead.

Richard Glover

基督的人性是外衣的襚子,藉著這邊緣我們能觸及祂的神性。

If ever the Divine appeared on earth, it was in the person of Christ.

Johannes Von Goethe

如果上帝曾在世間出現,那是在基督的肉身顯現。

Christ is our temple, in whom by faith all believers meet.

Matthew Henry

基督是我們的聖殿,一切信徒藉著信心在其中相遇。

In Christ Jesus heaven meets earth and earth ascends to heaven.

Henry Law

在基督耶穌裡,天堂來到世上,而世間得以高入雲天。

Surely royalty in rags, angels in cells, is not descent compared to Deity in flesh!

Henry Law

縱使貴族穿上窮人破舊衣裳,天使屈身於微小細胞,亦難比上帝取了肉身。

Jesus was man in guise, not in disguise.

Handley C. G. Moule

耶穌取了人的樣式,而非偽裝為人。

He suffered not as God, but he who suffered was God.

John Owen

祂不是像上帝一樣的受苦,卻是上帝本身在受苦。

If the life and death of Socrates are those of a philosopher, the life and death of Jesus Christ are those of a God.

Jean Jacques Rousseau

如果蘇格拉底的生與死是像一位哲學家,耶穌基督的生與死則像一位神。

If you want to know what God has to say to you, see what Christ was and is.

C. H. Spurgeon

如果你想知道上帝跟你說些甚麼,那就看看基督的過去與現在。

Remember, Christ was not a deified man, neither was he a humanized God.  He was perfectly God and at the same time perfectly man.

C. H. Spurgeon

記住,基督既非神性化的人,亦非人性化的神。祂是完全的神同時又是完全的人。

Christ was not half a God and half a man; he was perfectly God and perfectly man.

James Stalker

基督既非半神,亦非半人。祂是完全的神也是完全的人。

Because Christ was God, did he pass unscorched through the fires of Gethsemane and Calvary?  Rather let us say, because Christ was God he underwent a suffering that was absolutely infinite.

Augustus H. Strong

因為基督是神,當祂經過客西馬尼及加略山的火焰時就不被灼傷嗎?讓我告訴你,就因為基督是神,祂所經過的是絕對難以想像的苦難。

A cloudy over the sun makes no change in the body of the sun; so, though the divine nature be covered with the human, it makes no change in the divine nature.

Thomas Watson

遮蓋太陽的烏雲對太陽絲毫無損;同樣的,縱使神性被人遮蓋亦對神性無損。
