Faith6.由此明显可知,信仰和真理是一体,或同一个。这就是为何古人(他们出于对真理的情感思想真理胜过我们这个时代的人)不说信,而是习惯说真理。这也是为何在希伯来语,真理和信仰是一个词,即阿门。
6. We can see from all this that faith and truth are one and the same; and this is why the ancients, who thought more about truths than we do because they had a longing for them, talked about “truth” rather than “faith.” This is also why in Hebrew the same word-for example, emuna, and also amen-can mean both “truth” and “faith.”
6. It is apparent from this that faith and truth are bound up together. Because of this, ancient peoples, who out of an affection for truths thought more about them than people today, spoke of truth instead of faith.
That, too, is why truth and faith are the same word in Hebrew, being called emunah or amen.
6. From these considerations it is evident that faith and truth are one. This also is the reason that the ancients, who from affection thought about truths much more than the men of our time, instead of faith used the word truth. For the same reason in the Hebrew language truth and faith are expressed by the same word, namely, Amuna or Amen.
6. From all this it is evident that faith and truth are a one. For this reason the ancients (who from their affection for truths thought more about them than the men of our time) instead of saying Faith, were accustomed to say Truth. For the same reason also truth and faith are one word in the Hebrew language, namely Amuna or Amen.
6. Ex his patet quod fides et veritas unum sint. Quare etiam antiqui, qui ex affectione in cogitatione de veris prae nostratibus fuerunt, loco fidei dixerunt veritatem. Inde quoque est, quod in Hebraea lingua veritas et fides una vox sint, quae vocatur Amuna seu Amen.
