一、上帝按祂永恆的旨意，喜悅選定祂的獨生子主耶穌，作神與人之間的中保﹔ 為先知、 祭司 、 君王、 教會的元首和救主 (第二個亞當)，承受萬有、審判世界；上帝從萬古之先就將一群百姓賜給祂為後裔，而且到了時候，藉著祂得贖、 蒙召、 稱義、 成聖、得榮耀。
God was pleased, in His eternal purpose, to choose and ordain the Lord Jesus, his only begotten Son, to be the mediator between God and man (a). As the mediator, he is the prophet (b), priest ©, and king (d), the Head and Savior of the Church (e), the heir of all things (f), and the judge of the world (g). God gave to him, from all eternity, a people to be his seed (h) and to be by him, in time, redeemed, called, justified, sanctified, and glorified (i).
二、上帝的兒子，三位一體中的第二位格，正是永恆的上帝，與父同質、 同等；當日期滿足的時候，就取了人性，並有人性一切基本的性質、 共通的軟弱，只是完全無罪﹔ 藉著聖靈的大能，在童貞女馬利亞的腹中成孕，有人的本質。 所以在耶穌裡面是兩個完整的、無缺的，且相異的性質（就是有完全的神性與人性），不可分地結合於一位格裡，沒有轉化、 合成、 混合。 這個位格是真正的上帝，也是真正的人，卻是一位基督，神人之間的惟一的中保。
The Son of God, the second person in the Trinity, being truly and eternally God, of one substance and equal with the Father, did, when the fullness of time had come, take upon Him man’s nature (k), with all its essential properties and common frailties, yet without sin (l). He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit in the womb of the virgin Mary and of her substance (m). In this way two whole natures, the divine and the human, perfect and distinct, were inseparably joined together in one person without being changed, mixed, or confused (n). This person is truly God and truly man, yet one Christ, the only mediator between God and man (Romans 1:3-4).
三、主耶穌的人性如此與神性聯結，就藉聖靈成聖，受聖靈膏抹，沒有限量﹔在祂（他）裡面積蓄著一切的智慧和知識，父就喜歡叫一切的豐盛在祂（他）裡面居住。為了使祂（他）可以既然聖潔、 無惡、 無沾污，充充滿滿地有恩典，有真理，就有充分的裝備，得以執行中保和保證人的職分。 這職分並不是他 (祂)自取的，乃是蒙父所召，父把一切的權柄和審判交在祂手中，並且命令他(祂)執行。
In His human nature, united to the divine nature, the Lord Jesus was set apart and anointed with the Holy Spirit beyond measure (p), having in him all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge (q). In him the Father was pleased to have all fullness dwell ®, so that – being holy, harmless, undefiled, full of grace and truth (s) – he might be completely equipped to fulfill the office of a mediator and guarantor (t). He did not take this office to himself but was called to it by his Father (u), who put all power and judgment into his hand and commanded him to execute it (w).
四、主耶穌極其樂意擔任這職分﹔ 為了執行這職分，所以祂生在律法之下，而且完全成全了律法，在他的靈魂裡直接忍受了最大的痛苦，在他的身體中受了極疼痛的苦楚，被釘，受死，被埋葬，暫處於死權之下，但未見朽壞；第三天祂帶著受苦時的那個身體從死裡復活﹔ 又帶這個身體升入高天，坐在父的右邊，為我們代求﹔ 並要在世界的末了，再來審判世人和天使。
This office the Lord Jesus most willingly undertook (x), and in order to discharge its obligations he was born under the law (y) and perfectly fulfilled it (z). He endured most grievous torments in his soul (a) and most painful sufferings in his body (b); was crucified, died ©, and was buried; he remained under the power of death, yet his body did not undergo decay (d); and he arose from the dead on the third day (e) with the same body in which he had suffered (f). In this body he ascended into heaven, where he sits at the right hand of his Father (g), making intercession (h), and he shall return to judge men and angels at the end of the age
五、主耶穌憑自己完全的順服與犧牲 ，藉著永遠的靈，一次獻上給上帝，完全滿足父上帝的公義﹔ 不但付出代價使父所賜給祂的人得以和好，也使他們得以承受天國永遠的基業。
The Lord Jesus, by his perfect obedience and sacrifice of himself – which he through the eternal Spirit once offered up unto God – has fully satisfied the justice of his Father (k). He purchased not only reconciliation but an everlasting inheritance in the kingdom of heaven for all those whom the Father has given to him (l).
六、救贖之工雖未在基督成肉身之前實際完成，但救贖的功勞、 效果、 益處，卻從創世以來，藉著那些應許、 預表、 祭物，繼續傳給上帝在歷世歷代所揀選的人﹔祂藉這些應許、 預表、 祭物，顯明就是那擊破蛇頭的女人後 裔 ， 是從創世以來被殺的羔羊，是昨日、今日、直到永遠， 永不改變的基督。
Although the work of redemption was not actually accomplished by Christ until after his incarnation, yet the power, efficacy, and benefits of it were applied to the elect in all ages successively from the beginning of the world, in and by those promises, types, and sacrifices by which Christ was revealed and signified to be the seed of the woman who would bruise the serpent’s head, and to be the Lamb slain from the beginning of the world. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever (m).
七、基督按著祂(他)的神人二性，執行中保的職分﹔以各本性作其合宜的事；但由於基督位格的一致性，所以在《聖經》中，祂(他)這個本性合宜的事，有時也被歸算到另一個本性所顯的位格。
In the work of mediation, Christ acts according to both natures. Each nature does what is proper to itself (n); yet, by reason of the unity of his person, that which is proper to one nature is in Scripture sometimes attributed to the person designated by the other nature (o).
八、基督對那些他所買贖的人，就真實而有效地將這救贖施行於他們，傳達給他們﹔ 為他們代求，藉聖道將救恩的奧秘啟示給他們﹔ 藉著祂的靈，有效地勸勉他們相信而順服﹔藉著祂的道和祂的靈管理他們的心﹔ 藉著祂的全能全智，勝過他們的一切仇敵，而且所用的方式與祂奇妙莫測的旨意相合。
To all those for whom Christ purchased redemption, he certainly and effectually applies and communicates it (p). He makes intercession for them (q) and reveals to them, in and by the Word, the mysteries of salvation (r). He effectively persuades them by his Spirit to believe and obey, and governs their hearts by his Word and Spirit (s). He overcomes all their enemies by his almighty power and wisdom in such manner, and by such ways, as are most agreeable to his wonderful and unsearchable administration (t).
