When the principles that run against your deepest convictions begin to win the day, then the battle is your calling, and peace has become sin. You must at the price of dearest peace lay your convictions bare before friend and enemy with all the fire of your faith.

  • -- Abraham Kuyper 凯柏尔

当与你内心深处的信念背道而驰的原则开始赢得胜利的那一天,那么战斗就是你的使命,和平已成为罪恶。你必须以最宝贵的和平为代价,用你全部的信心之火,把你的信念暴露在朋友和敌人面前。
