第一问

Q. What is your only comfort in life and in death?

你无论是生是死，唯一的安慰是什么？

A. That I am not my own [1], but belong — body and soul,in life and in death [2] — to my faithful Savior, Jesus Christ [3] .

乃是我并不仅仅属于我自己, [1] 无论生死、是身体还是灵魂，[2] 都属于我信实的救主耶稣基督。[3]

He has fully paid for all my sins with his precious blood, [4] and has set me free from the tyranny of the devil. [5] He also watches over me in such a way [6] that not a hair can fall from my head without the will of my Father in heaven; [7] in fact, all things must work together for my salvation. [8]

祂已经用祂的宝血为我全部罪恶付上了赎价，[4] 已经使我脱离魔鬼的暴虐而得自由。[5] 祂是这样看顾我，[6] 以至于若不是我天父的意思，一根头发都不能落地。[7] 事实上，为了使我得救，万事必互相效力。[8]

Because I belong to him, Christ, by his Holy Spirit, assures me of eternal life [9] and makes me wholeheartedly willing and ready from now on to live for him. [10]

因为我属于祂， 基督，祂以祂的圣灵， 给我以永生的保证，[9] 并且叫我如今全心愿意，并已然准备 从此为祂而活。[10]
