    A sort of second edition of the written Scriptures
    一种圣经的”第二版”

    (Cornelius Tyree, “The Moral Power of a Pious Life” 1859)
    (科尼利厄斯·泰里,《虔诚生活的道德力量》1859年)

    “So that in every way they may make the teaching about God our Savior more attractive.” Titus 2:10
    “叫他们凡事尊荣我们救主神的道。”提多书2:10

    A conversion from depravity and sinfulness–to active godliness, is a more sublime miracle, and a more effectual proof for the divinity of the gospel–than was the resurrection of Lazarus!
    从堕落和罪恶转变为积极的虔诚,是一个更崇高的奇迹,也是福音神圣性更有力的证明——比拉撒路的复活更甚!

    Of all modes of teaching Christianity, ‘exemplifying it’ is the best.
    在所有教导基督教的方式中,”以身作则”是最好的。

    The best commentary on the Bible that the world has ever seen–is a holy life of growing likeness to Christ.
    世界上见过的最好的圣经注释——是一种日益像基督的圣洁生活。

    The most eloquent sermon in behalf of the gospel that the world has ever heard–is a uniform, active life of piety.
    世界上听过的最雄辩的福音布道——是一种始终如一、积极虔诚的生活。

    The best version of the Bible which has ever been made–is a consistent pious example. The Christian whose light thus shines, not only correctly renders–but beautifies the sacred text. His life and conduct are a sort of second edition of the written Scriptures–a ‘living epistle’ which all can read, all understand, and which convinces and convicts all.
    曾经制作过的最好的圣经版本——是一个始终如一的虔诚榜样。这样发光的基督徒,不仅正确地诠释了——而且美化了圣经文本。他的生活和行为是一种圣经的”第二版”——一封”活的书信”,人人都能阅读,人人都能理解,并且能说服和折服所有人。

    We must become living, radiant likenesses of gospel truth. We are to be living verifications of the great doctrines of the Bible. A godly life is a powerful argument for the truth of the gospel.
    我们必须成为福音真理活生生的、光辉的化身。我们要成为圣经伟大教义的活生生的验证。一个敬虔的生活是福音真理的有力论证。

    “You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men.” 2 Corinthians 3:2
