【英文原文】
This number has the idea of singleness, uniqueness, as well as unity and agreement in purpose and action. Christian God is unique. He does not share his glory with another, as is the case with pagan gods.
【中文译文】
数字1 数字1既有唯一或举世无双的意思,又有意见一致、目标一致、行动一致的意思。这个数字对基督徒有特别的意义,因为与异教不同,他们的神是唯一的。
题外话:除去神学意义,这个数字所蕴涵的其他意义在中西文化中没有多大差异。老子把一看做宇宙的本原,故说:“道生一,一生二,二生三,三生万物。”
