141:1
Unum nomen est Trinitatis. Neque enim est aliud nomen ut in Actibus apostolorum legimus, in quo oporteat nos salvos fieri (Act. IV, 42). Si sequeslrato Filio, de solo istud nomine Patris creditur, dicendus est non salvare salvator; rursusque si Patre secluso, id solius redemptoris nomine acquirimur, cessavit ab hac redemptione Pater, de quo scriptum est, quod redemptionem miserit populo suo (Psal. ex, 9); cum et de Spiritu sancto Apostolus dicat: In quo signati estis in die redemptionis vestræ ( Ephes. IV, 30 ).
The name of the Trinity is one. For there is no other name, as we read in the Acts of the Apostles, by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If, the Son being set aside, one believes in the name of the Father alone, then the Savior must be said not to save; and again, if, the Father being excluded, we are won by the name of the Redeemer alone, then the Father has ceased from this redemption, of whom it is written that He sent redemption to His people (Ps. 110:9); whereas the Apostle says also of the Holy Spirit: In whom you are sealed unto the day of your redemption (Eph. 4:30).
三位一體的名是一個。因為正如我們在使徒行傳中所讀的,除祂以外,別無拯救的名(使徒行傳四12)。若把子撇在一旁,單信父的名,那救主就當被說成不能施行拯救;再者,若把父隔絕,我們單藉救贖主的名得贖,那麼父就從這救贖中停止了工作,然而經上論到父記著說,祂施行救贖,救贖祂的百姓(詩篇一一○9);何況使徒論到聖靈也說:你們既受了聖靈的印記,等候得贖的日子來到(以弗所書四30)。
