3父、子、灵三而一的神,乃是一个奥秘,且是一个奥秘中的奥秘!……许多关于生命的事,都是人没有办法明白得透的,只能知道一个大概。譬如我们人肉身的生命,就没有一个人能讲得透,因为生命是一个奥秘。我们人里头还有一个灵,这更是奥秘。人的生命是个什么东西?人的灵又是个什么东西?没有一个人能讲得透彻。所以不要说父、子、灵三而一的神这样大的奥秘,就是我们人这个小奥秘,我们都了解不了!(李文集一九七○年第三册,四○五页)
3The Triune God—the Father, the Son, and the Spirit—is a mystery, in fact, a mystery of mysteries!…Many things relating to the matter of life are not within the comprehension of men; men can only have a general idea of them. For instance, though we have life in our physical body, no one can explain it thoroughly, for life is a mystery. Furthermore, there is a spirit within us—this is even more of a mystery. What is the life of man, and what is the spirit of man? No one can give a full explanation. We are not able to comprehend such a comparatively small mystery as man, to say nothing of the Triune God—the Father, the Son, and the Spirit. (CWWL, 1970, vol. 3, “Concerning the Triune God—the Father, the Son, and the Spirit,” p. 287)
