The Problem of Sin

Previous Section Next Section

Türkçe

Tanrı'nın her şeye yeten gücü, akıl almaz hikmeti ve sonsuz iyiliği, kendisini ilahi takdirinde öylesine gösterir ki, ilk [günaha] düşüşü, ve meleklerin ve insanların diğer tüm günahlarını bile kapsar; ve bu, basit bir izinle değil, fakat O'nun bilgeliğinin ve gücünün doluluğuyla bağlanmış, buyrulmuş ve hükmedilmiştir, öyle ki [bu günahlar] O'nun kutsal amaçlarını gerçekleştirsinler; ancak buna rağmen, günahkârlık sadece yaratılmış olandan kaynaklanır, Tanrı'dan değil; en kutsal ve adil olan Tanrı, günahın yazarı veya onaylayıcısı değildir, olamaz da.

English

The almighty power, unsearchable wisdom, and infinite goodness of God so far manifest themselves in his providence that it extendeth itself even to the first fall, and all other sins of angels and men, and that not by a bare permission, but such as hath joined with it a most wise and powerful bounding, and otherwise ordering and governing of them, in a manifold dispensation, to his own holy ends; yet so as the sinfulness thereof proceedeth only from the creature, and not from God; who, being most holy and righteous, neither is nor can be the author or approver of sin.
