1. Men have been unwearied in their efforts to obscure the plain, simple meaning of the Scriptures, and to make them contradict their own testimony; but like the ark upon the billowy deep, the word of God outrides the storms that threaten it with destruction.
世人曾不倦地设法模糊经中简明的意义，并使它显着自相矛盾；可是上帝的道象浮在洪水汹涌波涛之上的方舟一样，胜过了那想要毁灭它的每一次风暴。
