God preordained, for his own glory and the display of His attributes of mercy and justice, a part of the human race, without any merit of their own, to eternal salvation, and another part, in just punishment of their sin, to eternal damnation.

  • -- John Calvin 约翰·卡尔文

神为自己的荣耀,并显明他怜悯和公义的品性,预定了人类的一部份,没有他们自己的任何功绩,要永远得救,另一部份,要永远受咒诅,要公正地惩罚他们的罪。
