omnipotence 的詞源

15世紀中期， omnipotens，“無限的神力”，源自古法語 omnipotence，來自晚期拉丁語 omnipotentia “全能的力量”，源自拉丁語 omnipotentem（主格 omnipotens）“全能的，萬能的”，由 omnis “全部”（參見 omni-)和 potens（屬格 potentis）“有力的”（參見 potent）組成。相關詞彙： Omnipotency（15世紀後期）。

This attribute is in theology differentiated from the abstract idea of omnipotence, understood as capability of doing anything whatever (with no limitation from moral considerations), and is limited by the holiness of God, in accordance with which it is impossible for him to do wrong. [Century Dictionary]

這種屬性在神學上與全能的抽象概念有所區別，全能的抽象概念是指能夠做任何事情（沒有道德考慮的限制），而這種屬性受到上帝的聖潔的限制，根據這種聖潔，他不可能做錯事。[世紀詞典]
