God did not begin by leading the sinner to repentance, for repentance must be preceded by conviction of sin; nor by bringing him under the hearing of the word, for this requires an opened ear.
神并不是以引导罪人悔改作为开始，因为悔改之前必须先知罪；也不是带他来听道，因为这需要开通的耳朵。
Hence the first conscious and comparatively cooperative act of man is always preceded by the original act of God, planting in him the first principle of a new life, under which act man is wholly passive and unconscious.
因此，人第一个有意识且相对合作的行动之前，总是有神最初的作为，即在他里面植入新生命的初始原则，在这个作为下，人是完全被动且无意识的。
The call by the Word and the Spirit, internal and external.
藉着道和圣灵的呼召，包括内在的和外在的。
Even this is a divine act, commonly performed through the service of the Church.
即便这也是神的作为，通常藉着教会的事奉来施行。
It addresses itself not to the deaf but to the hearing, not to the dead but to the living, altho still slumbering.
它不是向聋子发出，而是向能听的人发出；不是向死人发出，而是向活人发出，虽然他们仍在沉睡。
It proceeds from the Word and the Spirit, because not only the faith-faculty, but faith itself—i.e., the power and exercise of the faculty—are gifts of grace.
它源于道和圣灵，因为不仅是信心的机能，连信心本身——即这机能的能力和运用——都是恩典的恩赐。
The faith-faculty can not exercise faith of itself.
信心的机能无法靠自己运用信心。
It avails us no more than the faculty of breathing when air and the power to breathe are withheld.
它对我们也无益处，就像当空气和呼吸的能力被收回时，呼吸的机能无益一样。
Hence the preaching of the Word and the inward working of the Holy Spirit are divine, correspondent operations.
因此，道的传讲与圣灵内在的运行是属神的、相应的运作。
Under the preaching of the Word the Spirit energizes the faith-faculty, and thus the call becomes effectual, for the sleeper arises.
在道的传讲下，圣灵激发信心的机能，于是呼召变得有效，因为沉睡者起来了。
