God’s holiness is manifested at the Cross.
上帝的圣洁在十字架上显明。
Wondrously and yet most solemnly,
奇妙而又严肃地，
does the Atonement display God’s infinite holiness and abhorrence of sin.
赎罪展现了上帝无限的圣洁和对罪的厌恶。
How hateful must sin be to God,
罪对上帝来说是多么可恨，
for Him to punish it to its utmost deserts
以至于他要把罪惩罚到它应得的极点
when it was imputed to His Son!
当罪被归于他儿子时！
“You hate all workers of iniquity!” Psalm 5:5
“你恨恶所有作恶的人！”（诗篇 5:5）
The god which the vast majority of professing Christians ‘love’
大多数自称基督徒所“爱”的神
is looked upon very much like an indulgent old man,
在很多人眼中非常像一个溺爱的老人，
who Himself has no relish for folly,
他自己对愚蠢毫无兴趣，
but leniently winks at sin.
却宽容地对罪视而不见。
Yet for one sin . . .
然而对于一个罪……
the fallen angels were thrown out of Heaven,
堕落的天使被逐出天堂，
our first parents were banished from Eden,
我们始祖被逐出伊甸园，
Moses was excluded from the promised land,
摩西被排除在应许之地之外，
Elisha’s servant smitten with leprosy, and
以利沙的仆人被击打得麻风，
Ananias and Sapphira were cut off from the land of the living.
亚拿尼亚和撒非喇被从活人中除掉。
But men refuse to believe in this God,
但人们拒绝相信这位神，
and gnash their teeth when His hatred of sin
当他对罪的仇恨被忠实地摆在他们面前时，
is faithfully pressed upon their attention.
却咬牙切齿。
Sinful man was no more likely to devise a holy God,
罪人比创造一个圣洁的神更不可能，
than to create the Lake of Fire
就像他不可能创造永远折磨他的火湖一样！
in which he will be tormented forever and ever!
他将在其中永远受苦！
