耶鲁公开课 - 旧约导论课程节选

You may think you've gotten away with something, but every act of social exploitation, every act of moral corruption, pollutes the sanctuary more and more until such time as God is driven out entirely and human society is devoured by its own viciousness and death-dealing.

犯了罪的人也许认为自己侥幸逃过一劫，然而他对所作的每一个行为，每一次的道德堕落，都会越来越玷污圣所,知道有一天上帝完全弃圣所而去,人类社会充斥着我们自身的邪恶和毁灭行为。
