“ACEASTA CARTE contine mintea lui Dumnezeu, starea unui om, drumul salvarii, soarta pacatosilor si fercirea credinciosilor.
Doctrinele ei sunt sfinte, perceptele ei sunt legate, istoriile ei sunt adevarate, iar deciziile-i sunt neschimbatoare.
Citeste-o ca sa fii intelept, crede-o ca sa fii in siguranta si pune-o in practica ca sa fii sfant.
Contine lumina ca sa te conduca, mancare ca sa te sustina, si confort ca sa te inveseleasca.
Este harta calatorului, toiagul peregrinului, busola pilotului, sabia soldatului si caracterul Crestinului.
Aici paradisul este refacut, Cerul deschis si portile Iadului dezvaluite.
Hristos este obictivul ei principal, binele nostru este scopul ei, iar Gloria lui Dumnezeu sfarsitul.
Ar trebuii sa umple memoria, sa conduca inima, si sa ne ghideze picioarele.
Citeste-o incet, frecvent, si in rugaciune.
Iti este data in viata si va fi deschisa la judecata, si va fi tinuta minte pentru totdeauna.
Presupune o mare responsabilitate, va rasplati cea mai mare munca, si va condamna pe toti aceia care au si-au batut joc de continuturile ei sacre.”

What is the Bible?
“THIS BOOK contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners and the happiness of believers.
Its doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are true, and its decisions are immutable.
Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe and practice it to be holy.
It contains light to direct you, food to support you and comfort to cheer you.
It is the traveler’s map, the pilgrim’s staff, the pilot’s compass, the soldier’s sword and the Christian’s character.
Here paradise is restored, heaven opened and the gates of hell disclosed.
Christ is its grand object, our good is its design and the glory of God its end.
It should fill the memory, rule the heart, and guide the feet.
Read it slowly, frequently, and prayerfully.
It is given you in life and will be opened in the judgment and will be remembered forever.
It involves the highest responsibility, will reward the greatest labour, and will condemn all who trifle with its sacred contents.”
