"Apakah Anda mengerti saya, jiwa yang berdosa? Dia bergumul dengan keadilan, agar engkau beristirahat; Dia menangis dan meratap, agar engkau tertawa dan bersukacita; Dia dikhianati, agar kamu bisa bebas; ditangkap, bahwa kamu mungkin melarikan diri; Dia dikutuk, agar engkau dibenarkan; dan terbunuh, agar kamu hidup; Dia mengenakan mahkota duri, agar engkau mengenakan mahkota kemuliaan; dan dipaku di kayu salib, dengan tangan-Nya terbuka lebar, untuk menunjukkan dengan jujur apa semua kebaikan-Nya akan diberikan kepada jiwa yang akan datang; dan bagaimana dengan sepenuh hati Dia akan menerimanya ke dada-Nya?"

--- John Bunyan

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Dost thou understand me, sinful soul? He wrestled with justice, that thou mightest have rest; He wept and mourned, that thou mightest laugh and rejoice; He was betrayed, that thou mightest go free; was apprehended, that thou mightest escape; He was condemned, that thou mightest be justified; and was killed, that thou mightest live; He wore a crown of thorns, that thou mightest wear a crown of glory; and was nailed to the cross, with His arms wide open, to show with what freeness all His merits shall be bestowed on the coming soul; and how heartily He will receive it into His bosom?
