The human heart has so many crannies where vanity hides, so many holes where falsehood works, and is so decked out with deceiving hypocrisy, that it often dupes itself!

The secret things of God are not to be scrutinized.
Those things which He has revealed are not to be overlooked.
上帝的隐秘之事不应被scrutinized（详细审查）。
他已经启示的事情不应被忽视。

“隐秘的事是属耶和华我们神的；惟有明显的事是永远属我们和我们子孙的，好叫我们遵行这律法上的一切话。”申命记29:29

God preordained, for His own glory and the display of His attributes of mercy and justice, a part of the human race, without any merit of their own, to eternal salvation. And the other part, in just punishment of their sin, He has preordained to eternal damnation.
上帝为了他自己的荣耀和展示他的怜悯与公义的属性，预定了一部分人类，不凭他们自己的功德，得到永恒的救赎。而另一部分人，作为对他们罪的公正惩罚，他预定他们永远沉沦。
