The subject of this paper is one of the deepest importance to our souls. 本文的主题对我们的灵魂具有极其深远的重要性。
That subject is the work of God the Holy Spirit. 这个主题就是圣灵上帝的工作。
The solemn words of the text which heads this page demand the attention of all who believe the Scriptures to be the living voice of God. 本页开头那段庄严的经文，要求所有相信圣经是上帝活泼话语的人予以关注。
Now I ask every reader of this paper a plain question—Do you know what you mean by these words, so often repeated—the Holy Spirit? 现在我要向本文的每一位读者提出一个简单的问题——你是否明白这些常常被提及的词语——”圣灵”——究竟意味着什么？
What place has God the Holy Spirit in your religion? 圣灵上帝在你的信仰中占有什么位置？
What do you know of His office, His work, His indwelling, His fellowship, and His power? 你对祂的职分、祂的工作、祂的内住、祂的团契和祂的能力了解多少？
This is the subject to which I ask your attention this day. 这就是今天我请求你关注的主题。
I want you to consider seriously what you know about the work of God the Holy Spirit. 我希望你认真思考你对圣灵上帝工作的认识。
I believe that the times in which we live demand frequent and distinct testimonies upon this great subject. 我相信我们所处的时代需要对这一伟大主题作出频繁而清晰的见证。
I believe that few truths of the Christian religion are so often obscured and spoiled by false doctrine as the truth about the Holy Spirit. 我相信在基督教的真理中，很少有像关于圣灵的真理那样，常常被假教义所蒙蔽和败坏。
I believe that there is no subject which an ignorant world is so ready to revile as “cant, fanaticism, and enthusiasm,” as the subject of the work of the Holy Spirit. 我相信没有哪个主题像圣灵工作的主题这样，常被无知的世人讥讽为”空洞的说教、狂热和宗教迷狂”。
My heart’s desire and prayer to God is, that about this subject I may write nothing but the “truth as it is in Jesus,” and that I may write that truth in love. 我内心的渴望和向上帝的祈祷是：关于这个主题，我所写的都是”在耶稣里的真理”，并且以爱心来书写这真理。
For convenience sake I shall divide my subject into four heads. I shall examine in order— 为方便起见，我将把本主题分为四个部分，依次探讨——
