Charity and Its Fruits is a thorough exposition of Biblical love as found in 1 Corinthians 13.
《仁爱及其果子》（Charity and Its Fruits）是对哥林多前书第十三章所载的圣经之爱（Biblical love）的彻底阐释。
As one of Edward’s best known works, it is entirely free from sentimentality.
作为爱德华兹最著名的作品之一，它完全没有多愁善感（sentimentality）。
Preached as a series of moving sermons in 1738 from the pulpit of his small “Church at Northampton,” Connecticut, it reveals Edward’s insistence both that Christian experience is highly supernatural and that “all true Christian grace tends to practice.”
这篇著作是祂于1738年在美国康涅狄格州（Connecticut）小小的“北安普敦教会”（Church at Northampton）的讲台上，以一系列动人的讲道（sermons）形式宣讲的，它揭示了爱德华兹所坚持的观点：基督徒的经历既是高度超自然（supernatural）的，同时“所有真实的基督徒恩典（grace）都倾向于实践”。
Few Christian leaders since the Reformation have been as gifted as Jonathan Edwards.
自宗教改革（Reformation）以来，很少有基督徒领袖能像乔纳森·爱德华兹（Jonathan Edwards）那样有天赋。
A man of intense personal devotion to Christ, he was a leader of revival, and a creative Reformed theologian as well as being a missionary and a philosopher fully meriting Hugh Martin’s description of him as ‘that greatest of metaphysical divines’.
祂是一位对基督有深切个人委身（devotion）的人，是复兴运动的领袖，一位富有创造力的归正神学家（Reformed theologian），同时也是一位传教士（missionary）和哲学家（philosopher），完全配得上休·马丁（Hugh Martin）对祂的描述：“那位最伟大的形而上学神学家”（that greatest of metaphysical divines）。
Yet it is likely that he would have preferred to be remembered simply as ‘pastor of the Church of Northampton’.
然而，祂可能更愿意人们仅仅记住祂是“北安普敦教会的牧师”。
Preached in 1738 (the same year that Edwards published A Narrative of Surprising Conversions), Charity and Its Fruits gives us an insight into his regular pulpit ministry in the years between the Northampton revival of 1735 and ‘the Great Awakening’ of 1740.
《仁爱及其果子》于1738年（同年爱德华兹出版了《惊人归信叙事》（A Narrative of Surprising Conversions））宣讲，让我们得以一窥祂在1735年北安普敦复兴运动和1740年“大觉醒”（the Great Awakening）之间那些年里常规的讲台事工（pulpit ministry）。
Entirely free from sentimentality this moving exposition of 1 Corinthians 13, like the better known Religious Affections, reveals Edwards’ insistence both that true Christian experience is ‘supernatural’- Spirit produced and Christ centered- and that ‘all true Christian grace tends to practice’.
这部动人的哥林多前书第十三章释义，完全没有多愁善感（sentimentality），就像祂更著名的《宗教情感》（Religious Affections）一样，揭示了爱德华兹所坚持的观点：真实的基督徒经历既是“超自然的”（supernatural）——由圣灵（Spirit）产生且以基督为中心——同时“所有真实的基督徒恩典都倾向于实践”。
These sermons show how it is possible to steer between Arminianism on the one hand and Antinomianism on the other.
这些讲道展示了如何在亚米念主义（Arminianism）和反律法主义（Antinomianism）之间取得平衡。
The concluding chapter on heaven as a world of love is perhaps the most beautiful in all Edwards’s writings.
最后一章将天堂（heaven）描绘为爱的世界，也许是爱德华兹所有著作中最美的一部分。
