“Satan’s Sophistry Answered by Our Saviour Christ”, a seminal work in Puritan theology, explores the nature of Christ’s temptations and his victorious resistance against Satan’s deceptions. 《我们救主基督回答撒但的诡辩》（Satan’s Sophistry Answered by Our Saviour Christ），清教徒神学中的开创性著作，探讨基督受试探的性质以及祂对撒但欺骗的得胜抵挡。

Perkins, a prominent English Puritan theologian, articulates the temptations faced by Christ and parallels them to the spiritual struggles encountered by believers. 帕金斯（Perkins），一位杰出的英国清教徒神学家，阐明基督所面对的试探，并将它们与信徒所遭遇的属灵争战相比较。

The book emphasizes the significance of Christ’s triumph as both a model and a source of strength for Christians facing their own spiritual battles. 这本书强调基督得胜的重要意义，既作为榜样也作为基督徒面对他们自己属灵争战的力量来源。

Perkins’ profound insights offer a rich exploration of Christ’s human and divine natures, showcasing his role as the ultimate victor over sin and temptation. 帕金斯的深刻洞见提供了对基督人性和神性的丰富探讨，展示祂作为胜过罪和试探的最终得胜者的角色。

This work is a valuable resource for those seeking a deeper understanding of Reformed theology and its interpretation of Christ’s life and teachings. 这部著作对于那些寻求更深理解改革宗神学及其对基督生平和教导之诠释的人来说，是一个宝贵的资源。

“When the Devil heard our Saviour Christ quoting Scripture, he imitated Christ and began to cite Scripture as well as He did. “当魔鬼听见我们的救主基督引用圣经时，他模仿基督并开始像祂一样引用圣经。

Therefore, we must be cautious about accepting the doctrines of heretics and false teachers even if they seem to support them with Scripture. 因此，我们必须谨慎接受异端和假教师的教义，即使他们似乎用圣经支持它们。

The Devil has his ‘scriptum est’ (it is written) at the ready. 魔鬼有他的’经上记着说’（scriptum est，意为’经上记着’）随时准备着。

We must learn to test the spirits, that is, evaluate whether the doctrines of people are from God or not (1 John 4:1) lest the Devil and wicked individuals deceive us. 我们必须学会试验那些灵，就是评估人们的教义是否出于神（约壹4:1），免得魔鬼和恶人欺骗我们。

Here we see how the Devil can quote Scripture aptly to further his own purposes. 在此我们看到魔鬼如何能恰当地引用圣经来推进他自己的目的。

It is a subtle tactic of the Devil to cite Scripture to persuade people to accept his damnable doctrines leading them into heresy and schism. 引用圣经来说服人们接受他该受咒诅的教义，将他们引入异端和分裂，这是魔鬼的狡猾策略。

For this purpose, he grossly misuses the Scriptures. 为了这个目的，他严重滥用圣经。

Even when he seeks to” – William Perkins 甚至当他寻求” – 威廉·帕金斯（William Perkins）

“Seeing our Saviour Christ now the third time answers the Devil by the scriptures saying ‘It is written,’ we learn that the written word, believed and understood, is the most sufficient weapon to confute and confound Satan and his vile temptations. “看到我们的救主基督现在第三次藉着圣经回答魔鬼说’经上记着说’，我们学到，被相信和理解的成文圣言，是驳斥和击败撒但及其邪恶试探最充分的武器。

Otherwise, Christ would not have chosen this weapon for the third time, saying ‘It is written again.’ 否则，基督不会第三次选择这武器，说’经上又记着说’。

This refutes the Papists who differentiate between two Scriptures: one unwritten and inward, which they call traditions and the consensus of the fathers throughout the ages, and the other written in the Holy Scriptures. 这驳斥了教皇派（Papists），他们区分两种圣经：一种是不成文和内在的，他们称之为传统和历代教父的共识，另一种是写在圣经中的。

They consider their unwritten scriptures and the consensus of the fathers to be of equal authority with the written word of God. 他们认为他们的不成文圣经和教父的共识与神的成文圣言具有同等权威。

However, our Saviour Christ demonstrates that the written word is the most powerful means to repel all of Satan’s temptations.” – William Perkins 然而，我们的救主基督证明成文圣言是击退撒但所有试探最有力的途径。” – 威廉·帕金斯（William Perkins）
