中文下载

“The Measures of Christian Obedience” by John Kettlewell is an essential exposition of Christian ethics, focusing on the indispensable necessity of obedience to a regenerate state.
约翰·凯特韦尔（John Kettlewell）所著的《基督徒顺服的尺度》（The Measures of Christian Obedience）是基督徒伦理学的重要阐释，重点论述了顺服对于重生状态不可或缺的必要性。

This detailed discourse is designed to bolster piety and provide solace to troubled consciences by elucidating the broad and demanding standards of Christian duty as well as the divine leniency that accompanies earnest efforts to meet these standards.
这篇详尽的论述旨在通过阐明基督徒本分那宽广而严格的标准，以及伴随恳切努力满足这些标准而来的神圣宽容，来增进虔敬并为受困扰的良心提供慰藉。

Kettlewell’s work is divided into multiple sections, each exploring different aspects of obedience in the Christian life.
凯特韦尔的著作分为多个部分，每一部分都探讨了基督徒生活中顺服的不同方面。

He discusses the general conditions of happiness, the specific laws of the Gospel that dictate this obedience, and the required manner of obedience to these laws.
他讨论了幸福的一般条件、规定这种顺服的福音具体律法，以及遵守这些律法所需的顺服方式。

Particularly compelling is his examination of the types of sins and their compatibility with a state of grace, providing a nuanced view that differentiates between voluntary and involuntary sins, and the effects of each on the soul’s salvation.
尤其令人信服的是他对罪的类型及其与恩典状态相容性的考察，提供了一种细致入微的观点，区分了故意犯罪和非故意犯罪，以及每种罪对灵魂得救的影响。

His final section on repentance and its power to restore one to God’s favor is both profound and comforting.
他关于悔改及其使人恢复神（God’s）恩宠之能力的最后一部分，既深刻又令人安慰。
