祝福

奉神旨意、蒙召做耶稣基督使徒的保罗,同兄弟所提尼 写信给在哥林多神的教会,就是在基督耶稣里成圣、蒙召做圣徒的,以及所有在各处求告我主耶稣基督之名的人。基督是他们的主,也是我们的主。 愿恩惠、平安从神我们的父并主耶稣基督归于你们!

感谢

我常为你们感谢我的神,因神在基督耶稣里所赐给你们的恩惠, 又因你们在他里面凡事富足,口才、知识都全备。 正如我为基督作的见证在你们心里得以坚固, 以致你们在恩赐上没有一样不及人的,等候我们的主耶稣基督显现。 他也必坚固你们到底,叫你们在我们主耶稣基督的日子无可责备。 神是信实的,你们原是被他所召,好与他儿子我们的主耶稣基督一同得份。

劝弟兄相合

10 弟兄们,我借我们主耶稣基督的名,劝你们都说一样的话,你们中间也不可分党,只要一心一意,彼此相合。 11 因为革来氏家里的人曾对我提起弟兄们来,说你们中间有纷争。 12 我的意思就是,你们各人说“我是属保罗的”、“我是属亚波罗的”、“我是属矶法的”、“我是属基督的”。 13 基督是分开的吗?保罗为你们钉了十字架吗?你们是奉保罗的名受了洗吗? 14 我感谢神,除了基利司布该犹以外,我没有给你们一个人施洗, 15 免得有人说,你们是奉我的名受洗。 16 我也给司提反家施过洗,此外给别人施洗没有,我却记不清。 17 基督差遣我原不是为施洗,乃是为传福音;并不用智慧的言语,免得基督的十字架落了空。

基督是神的能力和智慧

18 因为十字架的道理,在那灭亡的人为愚拙,在我们得救的人却为神的大能。 19 就如经上所记:“我要灭绝智慧人的智慧,废弃聪明人的聪明。” 20 智慧人在哪里?文士在哪里?这世上的辩士在哪里?神岂不是叫这世上的智慧变成愚拙吗? 21 世人凭自己的智慧既不认识神,神就乐意用人所当做愚拙的道理,拯救那些信的人,这就是神的智慧了。 22 犹太人是要神迹,希腊人是求智慧, 23 我们却是传钉十字架的基督——在犹太人为绊脚石,在外邦人为愚拙, 24 但在那蒙召的,无论是犹太人、希腊人,基督总为神的能力、神的智慧。 25 因神的愚拙总比人智慧,神的软弱总比人强壮。

世人厌恶的乃神所拣选

26 弟兄们哪,可见你们蒙召的,按着肉体有智慧的不多,有能力的不多,有尊贵的也不多。 27 神却拣选了世上愚拙的,叫有智慧的羞愧;又拣选了世上软弱的,叫那强壮的羞愧。 28 神也拣选了世上卑贱的、被人厌恶的以及那无有的,为要废掉那有的, 29 使一切有血气的,在神面前一个也不能自夸。 30 但你们得在基督耶稣里,是本乎神,神又使他成为我们的智慧、公义、圣洁、救赎。 31 如经上所记:“夸口的,当指着主夸口。”

問候

我是按上帝旨意蒙召作基督耶穌使徒的保羅,同所提尼弟兄, 寫信給在哥林多的上帝的教會,就是在基督耶穌裡得以聖潔、蒙召做聖徒的,以及各地求告我們主耶穌基督之名的人。基督是他們的主,也是我們的主。

願我們的父上帝和主耶穌基督賜給你們恩典和平安!

保羅的感恩

我常常為你們感謝我的上帝,因為祂在基督耶穌裡賜給了你們恩典, 使你們在基督裡凡事富足,有全備的口才和知識。 這樣,我為基督所做的見證就在你們身上得到了證實。 因此,你們在殷切等候我們主耶穌基督再來的期間,並不缺少任何屬靈的恩賜。 我們的主耶穌基督必扶持你們到底,使你們在祂再來的日子無可指責。 上帝是信實的,祂呼召你們是要你們與祂的兒子——我們的主耶穌基督相交。

信徒要同心合意

10 親愛的弟兄姊妹,我奉主耶穌基督的名勸你們,要同心合意,不可結黨紛爭,要團結一致, 11 因為革來家的人把各位弟兄姊妹的事情告訴了我,說你們中間有紛爭。 12 我的意思是你們有人說:「我是跟隨保羅的」,有人說:「我是跟隨亞波羅的」,有人說:「我是跟隨彼得的」,有人說:「我是跟隨基督的」。 13 難道基督是分成幾派的嗎?替你們釘十字架的是保羅嗎?你們是奉保羅的名受洗的嗎?

14 感謝上帝,除了基利司布和該猶以外,我沒有為你們任何人施洗, 15 所以沒有人能說是奉我的名受洗的。 16 不錯,我也曾為司提法納的家人施洗,除此以外,我不記得還為誰施洗了。 17 基督不是差遣我去為人施洗,而是去傳揚福音,而且不用高言大智,免得基督十字架的能力被抹摋。

上帝的智慧

18 因為十字架之道在將要滅亡的人看來是愚昧的,但對我們這些得救的人來說卻是上帝的大能, 19 正如聖經上說:「我要摧毀智者的智慧,廢棄明哲的聰明。」

20 這個世代所謂的智者、學者、雄辯家在哪裡?上帝豈不是把這世上的智慧都變成愚昧了嗎? 21 上帝運用自己的智慧不讓世人憑自己的智慧去認識祂,祂樂意採用世人看為愚昧的道理去拯救那些相信的人,這就是上帝的智慧。

22 猶太人要看神蹟,希臘人尋求智慧, 23 但我們傳講被釘十字架的基督。這對猶太人來說是絆腳石,對外族人來說是愚昧的。 24 但對於蒙召的人,無論是猶太人還是希臘人,基督是上帝的能力、上帝的智慧。 25 因為上帝的「愚昧」也勝過世人的智慧,上帝的「軟弱」也勝過世人的剛強。

26 弟兄姊妹,想想你們蒙召時的情形。按人的標準來衡量,你們當中稱得上有智慧的不多,有能力的不多,出身名門望族的也不多。 27 但上帝揀選了世人看為愚昧的,要使智者羞愧;上帝揀選了世上軟弱的,要使強者蒙羞; 28 上帝揀選了世上卑賤的、被藐視的和無足輕重的,要使世人看為舉足輕重的變得無足輕重。 29 這樣,誰都不能在上帝面前自誇了。

30 上帝使你們活在基督耶穌裡,祂使基督耶穌成為我們的智慧、公義、聖潔和救贖。 31 所以,正如聖經上說:「要誇耀,就當誇耀主的作為。」

Greeting

Paul, (A)called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ (B)through the will of God, and (C)Sosthenes our brother,

To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who (D)are [a]sanctified in Christ Jesus, (E)called to be saints, with all who in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ (F)our Lord, (G)both theirs and ours:

(H)Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Spiritual Gifts at Corinth

(I)I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given to you by Christ Jesus, that you were enriched in everything by Him (J)in all [b]utterance and all knowledge, even as (K)the testimony of Christ was confirmed [c]in you, so that you come short in no gift, eagerly (L)waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, (M)who will also confirm you to the end, (N)that you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. (O)God is faithful, by whom you were called into (P)the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Sectarianism Is Sin

10 Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, (Q)that you all [d]speak the same thing, and that there be no [e]divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. 11 For it has been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe’s household, that there are [f]contentions among you. 12 Now I say this, that (R)each of you says, “I am of Paul,” or “I am of (S)Apollos,” or “I am of (T)Cephas,” or “I am of Christ.” 13 (U)Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

14 I thank God that I baptized (V)none of you except (W)Crispus and (X)Gaius, 15 lest anyone should say that I had baptized in my own name. 16 Yes, I also baptized the household of (Y)Stephanas. Besides, I do not know whether I baptized any other. 17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, (Z)not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.

Christ the Power and Wisdom of God(AA)

18 For the [g]message of the cross is (AB)foolishness to (AC)those who are perishing, but to us (AD)who are being saved it is the (AE)power of God. 19 For it is written:

(AF)“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”

20 (AG)Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the [h]disputer of this age? (AH)Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For since, in the (AI)wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. 22 For (AJ)Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom; 23 but we preach Christ crucified, (AK)to the Jews a [i]stumbling block and to the [j]Greeks (AL)foolishness, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ (AM)the power of God and (AN)the wisdom of God. 25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

Glory Only in the Lord

26 For [k]you see your calling, brethren, (AO)that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many [l]noble, are called. 27 But (AP)God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; 28 and the [m]base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, 29 that no flesh should glory in His presence. 30 But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and (AQ)righteousness and sanctification and redemption— 31 that, as it is written, (AR)“He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.”
