哥林多前书 2
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
只傳耶穌基督釘十字架
2 弟兄們，我從前到你們那裡去，並沒有用高言大智向你們傳講 神的奧祕。 2 因為我曾立定主意，在你們中間甚麼都不想知道，只知道耶穌基督和他釘十字架的事。 3 我在你們那裡的時候，又軟弱又懼怕，而且戰戰兢兢； 4 我說的話、講的道，都不是用智慧的話去說服人，而是用聖靈和能力來證明， 5 使你們的信不是憑著人的智慧，而是憑著 神的能力。
屬靈的人看透萬事
6 然而在信心成熟的人中間，我們也講智慧，但不是這世代的智慧，也不是這世代將要滅亡的執政者的智慧。 7 我們所講的，是從前隱藏的、 神奧祕的智慧，就是 神在萬世以前，為我們的榮耀所預定的； 8 這智慧，這世代執政的人沒有一個知道，如果他們知道，就不會把榮耀的主釘在十字架上了。 9 正如經上所記：
“ 神為愛他的人所預備的，
是眼睛未曾見過，耳朵未曾聽過，
人心也未曾想到的。”
10 但 神卻藉著聖靈把這些向我們顯明了，因為聖靈測透萬事，連 神深奧的事也測透了。 11 除了在人裡面的靈，誰能知道人的事呢？同樣，除了 神的靈，也沒有人知道 神的事。 12 我們所領受的，不是這世界的靈，而是從 神來的靈，使我們能知道 神開恩賜給我們的事。 13 我們也講這些事，不是用人的智慧所教的言語，而是用聖靈所教的言語，向屬靈的人解釋屬靈的事（“向屬靈的人解釋屬靈的事”或譯：“用屬靈的話解釋屬靈的事”）。 14 然而屬血氣的人不接受 神的靈的事，因為他以為是愚笨的；而且他也不能夠明白，因為這些事，要有屬靈的眼光才能領悟。 15 屬靈的人能看透萬事，卻沒有人能看透他， 16 如經上所記：
“誰曾知道主的心意，
能夠指教他呢？”
但我們已經得著基督的心意了。
1 Corinthians 2
New Century Version
The Message of Christ’s Death
2 Dear brothers and sisters, when I came to you, I did not come preaching God’s secret[a] with fancy words or a show of human wisdom. 2 I decided that while I was with you I would forget about everything except Jesus Christ and his death on the cross. 3 So when I came to you, I was weak and fearful and trembling. 4 My teaching and preaching were not with words of human wisdom that persuade people but with proof of the power that the Spirit gives. 5 This was so that your faith would be in God’s power and not in human wisdom.
God’s Wisdom
6 However, I speak a wisdom to those who are mature. But this wisdom is not from this world or from the rulers of this world, who are losing their power. 7 I speak God’s secret wisdom, which he has kept hidden. Before the world began, God planned this wisdom for our glory. 8 None of the rulers of this world understood it. If they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 But as it is written in the Scriptures:
“No one has ever seen this,
and no one has ever heard about it.
No one has ever imagined
what God has prepared for those who love him.” Isaiah 64:4
10 But God has shown us these things through the Spirit.
The Spirit searches out all things, even the deep secrets of God. 11 Who knows the thoughts that another person has? Only a person’s spirit that lives within him knows his thoughts. It is the same with God. No one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we did not receive the spirit of the world, but we received the Spirit that is from God so that we can know all that God has given us. 13 And we speak about these things, not with words taught us by human wisdom but with words taught us by the Spirit. And so we explain spiritual truths to spiritual people. 14 A person who does not have the Spirit does not accept the truths that come from the Spirit of God. That person thinks they are foolish and cannot understand them, because they can only be judged to be true by the Spirit. 15 The spiritual person is able to judge all things, but no one can judge him. The Scripture says:
16 “Who has known the mind of the Lord?
Who has been able to teach him?” Isaiah 40:13
But we have the mind of Christ.
