The Bible cannot quicken, nor sanctify, nor comfort!
圣经不能使人活过来，不能使人成圣，也不能安慰人！
(Octavius Winslow)
(奥克塔维尔斯·温斯洛)
“Our gospel came to you not simply with words, but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and with deep conviction!” 1 Thessalonians 1:5
“我们的福音传到你们那里，不独在乎言语，也在乎权能和圣灵，并充足的信心。”帖撒罗尼迦前书1:5
Apart from the Spirit, the Bible cannot quicken, nor sanctify, nor comfort. It may be . . .
read constantly,
and searched deeply,
and known accurately,
and understood partially,
and quoted appropriately.
若没有圣灵，圣经就不能使人活过来，不能使人成圣，也不能安慰人。它可能会被…
经常阅读，
深入查考，
准确认知，
部分理解，
恰当引用。
Yet, left to its own unassisted power, it comes but in word only, producing no hallowing, no abiding, no saving results.
然而，若只凭其自身未经助力的能力，它仅仅是言语而已，不能产生成圣的果效，不能常存，也不能带来得救的结果。
Unaccompanied by the power of the Holy Spirit, the Bible is inactive and inoperative-a mere dead letter!
若没有圣灵的能力相伴，圣经就是无活力、无功效的——仅仅是死的字句而已！
All that we spiritually know . . .
of ourselves,
of God,
of Jesus,
of His Word-
we owe to the supernatural teaching of the Holy Spirit. All the real light, sanctification, strength and comfort we possess on our way to glory-we must ascribe to Him.
我们在属灵上所知道的一切…
关于我们自己，
关于神，
关于耶稣，
关于祂的话语——
都归功于圣灵超自然的教导。我们在通往荣耀路上所拥有的一切真实的光照、成圣、力量和安慰——都必须归功于祂。
SPURGEON: “We might preach until our tongues rotted, until we should exhaust our lungs and die-but never a soul would be converted without the Holy Spirit’s power attending the Word.
司布真说：”我们可以讲道直到舌头腐烂，直到肺部耗尽而死——但若没有圣灵的能力伴随着神的话，就永远不会有一个灵魂被转变。
If the Holy Spirit does not renew the hearts of our hearers, we cannot do it.
If the Holy Spirit does not regenerate them, we cannot.
If He does not send the truth home into their souls, we might as well speak into the ear of a corpse!”
如果圣灵不更新听道者的心，我们就不能做到。
如果圣灵不使他们重生，我们就不能。
如果祂不将真理送入他们的灵魂，我们还不如对着死尸的耳朵说话！”
“Open my eyes, that I may see wonderful things in Your law!” Psalm 119:18
“求你开我的眼睛，使我看出你律法中的奇妙！”诗篇119:18
