    如果我给律法以恰当的定义,并将其保持在它的职分和用途的范围内,它就是一件极好的事;

    but if I translate it to another use and attribute that unto it which I should not, then do I not only pervert the law, but also the whole Scripture.” Luther.

    但如果我将它挪作他用,并将它不该有的归给它,那么我不仅扭曲了律法,也扭曲了整本圣经。”——路德。

    and lastly, the consequence of both, our obnoxiousness to the curse.” Calvin.

    “我对此确信不疑,并大胆断言,没有一个被基督释放的人,会以基督宝血的救赎为由,将放胆去犯罪作为他的准则;

    but that Christ who has redeemed from sin and wrath, has also redeemed from a vain life.

    因为那位将人从罪和忿怒中救赎出来的基督,也救赎人脱离了虚妄的生活。

    “The purity of the law appears from its forbidding sin in all its modifications, in its most refined as well as in its grossest forms;
