“We considered Him stricken by God, smitten by Him, and afflicted.
“我们以为他是被上帝击打、被他压伤和受苦的。
He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities.
他因我们的过犯被刺透，因我们的罪孽被压伤。
The punishment that brought us peace, was upon Him,
使我们得平安的惩罚落在他身上，
and by His wounds we are healed.” Isaiah 53:4-5
并且因他的伤痕，我们得了医治。”（以赛亚书 53:4-5）
God is as glorious in punishing sin-as He is in pardoning sin.
上帝在惩罚罪时同样荣耀，正如他赦免罪时那样。
Never did God appear more glorious, than when He was pouring out His wrath on the Son of His love, for our sins.
上帝从未如此荣耀，正如他因我们的罪将怒气倾倒在他爱的儿子身上时。
Justice and mercy, holiness and love-shone there with united and transcendent splendor.
公义与慈爱、圣洁与爱在那里共同闪耀，展现出超凡的光辉。
The same glory of God which shines in punishing sin in Hell-appeared in His punishing it on the cross!
在地狱中惩罚罪时展现的上帝荣耀，在他在十字架上惩罚罪时同样显现！
Does not God deserve to be loved for the one, as well as for the other?
上帝难道不值得因这两者而被爱吗？
Does He not deserve to be loved wherever and in whatever manner He causes His glorious justice to appear?
他无论在哪里、以何种方式显现他的荣耀公义，难道不值得爱吗？
That man never had true grace-who does not love God for punishing sin, as well as for pardoning it.
那个人绝对没有真正的恩典——他既不因上帝惩罚罪而爱上帝，也不因赦免罪而爱。
“Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us,
“基督为我们成为咒诅，使我们脱离律法的咒诅，
for it is written: Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.” Galatians 3:13
因为经上记着：‘凡挂在木头上的都是被咒诅的。’”（加拉太书 3:13）
“He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree!” 1 Peter 2:24
“他自己在树上担当了我们的罪！”（彼得前书 2:24）
