Bow to the Word!向圣言俯首

Bow to the Word
向圣经臣服

作者：唐·福特纳

I bow to the Word of God.
我向上帝的圣言臣服。

There are many good creeds, confessions, and catechisms written by men, clearly setting forth the gospel of the grace of God; but I do not pin my faith to the writings of any man, or any group of men, no matter how much I may admire them.
有许多由人所写的优秀信条、宣言和教理问答，清楚地阐述了上帝恩典的福音；但我不会把我的信仰寄托在任何人或任何团体的著作上，无论我多么敬仰他们。

The Word of God alone is my rule of faith and practice.
唯有上帝的圣言是我信仰和行为的准则。

I bow my will and my reason, my experience and my feelings, to the Word of God. I do not understand all that is written in the Scriptures; but I believe it all.
我将自己的意志和理性、经验和感受，都臣服于上帝的圣言。我虽不能理解圣经中所写的一切；但我全然相信。

I bow to the authority of Holy Scripture.
I do so unreservedly.
我向圣经的权威臣服。
我毫无保留地臣服。

Let men call it bigotry, ignorance, or whatever they may, I am not even open to the consideration of any thought, idea, or evidence which contradicts the Book of God.
让人们说这是偏执、无知，或随他们怎么说，我甚至不会考虑任何与上帝之书相抵触的想法、观念或证据。
