| SIN - and the CHRISTIAN | 罪惡 - 與基督徒 |
| Two sorts of peace are more to be dreaded than all
the troubles in the world - peace with sin, and peace in sin. Joseph Alleine 有兩種和平比世上一切問題還令人畏懼 - 與罪和好以及在罪中覺得平安。 |
| If hell were on one side and
sin on the other, I would rather leap into hell than willingly sin against my God. Anselm 如果一邊是地獄、另一邊是罪惡，那我寧可選擇跳進地獄而不願意犯罪得罪我的上帝。 |
| Our sense of sin is in proportion to our nearness to
God. Thomas D. Bernard 我們對罪的意識取決於我們跟上帝親近的距離。 |
| It is our duty to feel sin,
to fear sin and to fly sin as far as we can. John Boys 我們的職責是去覺察罪惡、畏懼罪惡以及盡可能遠離罪惡。 |
| Sin may rebel in a saint, but it shall never reign
in a saint. Thomas Brooks 罪可能在聖徒心中叛變，但它永遠無法在聖徒心中掌權。 |
| Whenever a godly man sins,
he sins against the general purpose of his soul. Thomas Brooks 無論何時，當一位虔誠的人犯罪，他是犯罪違背他靈魂整體的目標。 |
| I preach and think that it is more bitter to sin
against Christ than to suffer the torments of hell. Chrysostom 我傳講並思想犯罪違背基督比忍受地獄的折磨還要痛苦。 |
| I do not understand how a
man can be a true believer in whom sin is not the greatest burden, sorrow and trouble. John Owen 我實在不瞭解，一個人怎能成為真信徒而不感覺罪是最大的重擔、憂傷與問題。 |
| Never was anything more futile than the war against
the Lamb. William S. Plumer 再沒有比與羔羊征戰更徒勞無功的事情了。 |
| I am convinced that the
first step towards attaining a higher standard of holiness is to realize more fully the
amazing sinfulness of sin. J. C. Ryle 我深信趨向獲得更高聖潔標準的第一步驟就是更完全體認罪令人驚訝的邪惡。 |
| There is no sin so great but a great saint may fall
into it. There is no saint so great but he may fall into a great sin. J. C. Ryle 沒有甚麼罪是大的，而是一個偉大的聖徒也會陷入罪中。也沒有所謂偉大的聖徒，因為縱使聖徒也會陷入大罪。 |
| Do believe it, Christian,
that your sin is a condemned thing. It may kick and struggle, but it is doomed to
die. C. H. Spurgeon 基督徒，一定要相信，你的罪惡是被譴責的事情。罪惡或許會踢你、會掙扎，但它已經註定滅亡了。 |
| For the Christian, sin is not the done thing! Mary S. Wood 對基督徒而言，罪惡可不是一件已成就、結束的事情！ |
