A man ought therefore rather to rejoice and be glad
because such wealth and such an inheritance is prepared
for Christians, that no one can utter it or reckon it up.
With all diligence and humility therefore we ought to set
ourselves to the Christian's contest and to receive that
wealth. For the inheritance and portion of Christians is
God Himself. The Lord Himself, it says, is the portion
of mine inheritance and of my cup.
Glory to Him who
gives Himself, and mingles His own holy nature with the
souls of Christians, for ever. Amen.
p280
This was the purpose of the Lord's coming,
to alter and create our souls anew, and make them, as it is written,
partakers of the divine nature, and to give into our soul a heavenly soul,
that is the Spirit of Godhead leading us to all virtue,
that we might be enabled to live eternal life.
これが主が来たりました目的であり、
我々の魂を新たに変え創り、記されているのだが
我々を神性の参与者とし、我々の魂を天国の魂に与らせます。
それが、あらゆる美徳に我々を導き、我々を永遠のいのちに住ませ給うことのできる神の精神なのです。(暇人誤訳)
