1弟兄们,从前我到你们那里去,并没有用对你们宣传 神的。When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God.

2因为我曾定了主意,在你们中间不知道别的,只知道耶稣基督并他。For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

3我在你们那里,又软弱,又惧怕又甚。I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling.

4我说的话、讲的道,不是用智慧的言语,乃是用圣灵和大能的,My message and my preaching were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power,

5叫你们的信不在乎人的智慧,只在乎 神的大能。so that your faith would not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power.

6然而,在中,我们也讲智慧。但不是这世上的智慧,也不是这世上有权有位、将要之人的智慧。Among the mature, however, we speak a message of wisdom—but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.

7我们讲的,乃是从前所隐藏、 神奥秘的智慧,就是 神在万世以前预定使我们得荣耀的。No, we speak of the mysterious and hidden wisdom of God, which He destined for our glory before time began.

8这智慧世上没有一个知道的,他们若知道,就不把荣耀的主钉在十字架上了。None of the rulers of this age understood it. For if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

9如: 神为爱他的人所预备的是眼睛未曾看见,耳朵未曾听见,人心也未曾想到的。Rather, as it is written: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart has imagined, what God has prepared for those who love Him.”

10只有 神借着圣灵向我们显明了,因为圣灵万事,就是 神深奥的事也参透了。But God has revealed it to us by the Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.

11除了在人里头的灵,谁知道人的事?像这样,除了 神的灵,也没有人知道 神的事。For who among men knows the thoughts of man except his own spirit within him? So too, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.

12我们所领受的,并不是世上的灵,乃是从 神来的灵,叫我们能知道 神开恩赐给我们的事。We have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us.

13并且我们讲说这些事,不是用人智慧所指教的言语,乃是用圣灵所指教的言语,将属灵的话解释属灵的事(或译:将属灵的事讲与属灵的人)。And this is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.

14然而,不领会 神圣灵的事,反倒以为愚拙,并且不能知道,因为这些事惟有属灵的人才能看透。The natural man does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. For they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

15属灵的人能万事,却没有一人能看透了他。The spiritual man judges all things, but he himself is not subject to anyone’s judgment.

16谁曾知道去教导他呢?但我们是有基督的心了。“For who has known the mind of the Lord, so as to instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
