“Far be it from me to boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.” – Galatians 6:14 “但我断不以别的夸口，只夸我们主耶稣基督的十字架；因这十字架，就我而论，世界已经钉在十字架上；就世界而论，我已经钉在十字架上。”——加拉太书6章14节
What do you think and feel about the cross of Christ? 你对基督的十字架有何看法和感受？
You live in a Christian land. 你生活在一个基督教的土地上。
You probably attend the worship of a Christian church. 你可能参加一个基督教会的敬拜。
You have perhaps been baptised in the name of Christ. 你或许已经奉基督的名受洗。
You profess and call yourself a Christian. 你宣称并称自己为基督徒。
All this is well: it is more than can be said of millions in the world. 这一切都很好：这比世界上数百万人所能说的要多。
But all this is no answer to my question, “What do you think and feel about the cross of Christ?” 但这一切都不是我问题的答案，”你对基督的十字架有何看法和感受？”
I want to tell you what the greatest Christian that ever lived thought of the cross of Christ. 我想告诉你有史以来最伟大的基督徒对基督十字架的看法。
He has written down his opinion: he has given his judgment in words that cannot be mistaken. 他已写下他的看法：他已用不会被误解的话语给出了他的判断。
The man I mean is the Apostle Paul. 我所说的这个人就是使徒保罗。
The place where you will find his opinion, is in the letter which the Holy Ghost inspired him to write to the Galatians; and the words in which his judgement is set down, are these : “God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.” 你会找到他看法的地方，是在圣灵感动他写给加拉太人的书信中；而他的判断所记录的话语是这样的：”但我断不以别的夸口，只夸我们主耶稣基督的十字架。”
Now what did Paul mean by saying this? 现在保罗说这话是什么意思呢？
He meant to declare strongly, that he trusted in nothing but Jesus Christ crucified for the pardon of his sins and the salvation of his soul. 他的意思是强烈地宣告，他除了信靠那为赦免他的罪和拯救他的灵魂而被钉十字架的耶稣基督之外，别无所靠。
Let others, if they would, look elsewhere for salvation; let others, if they were so disposed, trust in other things for pardon and peace: for his part the apostle was determined to rest on nothing, lean on nothing, build his hope on nothing, place confidence in nothing, glory in nothing, except “the cross of Jesus Christ.” 让别人若愿意，就到别处寻找救恩；让别人若有意，就信靠其他事物来得赦免和平安：就使徒而言，他决心不依靠任何事物，不倚赖任何事物，不把盼望建立在任何事物上，不把信心放在任何事物上，不以任何事物夸口，除了”耶稣基督的十字架”。
Reader, let me talk to you about this subject: Believe me, it is one of the deepest importance. 读者，让我和你谈谈这个主题：相信我，这是最重要的事之一。
This is no mere question of controversy; this is not one of those points on which men may agree to differ, and feel that differences will not shut them out of heaven. 这不是单纯的争论问题；这不是那些人们可以同意彼此不同意见，并觉得分歧不会把他们关在天堂之外的观点之一。
A man must be right on this subject, or he is lost for ever. 一个人在这个主题上必须是对的，否则他就永远失丧了。
Heaven or hell, happiness or misery, life or death, blessing or cursing in the last day,—all hinges on the answer to this question: “What do you think about the cross of Christ?” 天堂或地狱，幸福或痛苦，生命或死亡，末日的祝福或咒诅，——一切都取决于对这个问题的回答：”你对基督的十字架有何看法？”
