1 Corinthians 2
New International Version

2 And so it was with me, brothers and sisters. When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom(A) as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God.[a] 2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.(B) 3 I came to you(C) in weakness(D) with great fear and trembling.(E) 4 My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words,(F) but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power,(G) 5 so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power.(H)

God’s Wisdom Revealed by the Spirit

6 We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature,(I) but not the wisdom of this age(J) or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.(K) 7 No, we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery(L) that has been hidden(M) and that God destined for our glory before time began. 8 None of the rulers of this age(N) understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.(O) 9 However, as it is written:

“What no eye has seen,
    what no ear has heard,
and what no human mind has conceived”[b]—
    the things God has prepared for those who love him—(P)

10 these are the things God has revealed(Q) to us by his Spirit.(R)

The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. 11 For who knows a person’s thoughts(S) except their own spirit(T) within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 What we have received is not the spirit(U) of the world,(V) but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. 13 This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom(W) but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words.[c] 14 The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God(X) but considers them foolishness,(Y) and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. 15 The person with the Spirit(Z) makes judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgments, 16 for,

“Who has known the mind of the Lord
    so as to instruct him?”[d](AA)

But we have the mind of Christ.(AB)

哥林多前書 2
Chinese Standard Bible (Traditional)

只傳基督與十字架

2 弟兄們，我以前到你們那裡去的時候，並沒有用高言大智對你們傳講神的奧祕[a]， 2 因為我曾下定決心，在你們中間不知道別的，只知道耶穌基督，就是被釘了十字架的這一位。 3 並且我在你們那裡的時候，又軟弱又懼怕，甚至極其戰兢。 4 我說話、我傳道，不是藉著[b]有智慧的說服性的話語，而是藉著聖靈和大能的明證， 5 好讓你們的信仰不靠人的智慧，而靠神的大能。

屬靈的智慧

6 然而，在成熟的人[c]中間，我們也講智慧，但不是這世代的智慧，也不是這世代中將要被廢除的那些統治者的智慧。 7 我們所講的是那從前被隱藏在奧祕中屬神的智慧，就是神在萬世以前為了我們的榮耀所預定的智慧； 8 這世代的那些統治者沒有一個知道這智慧，因為他們如果知道，就不會把榮耀的主釘上十字架了。 9 然而正如經上所記：

「神為愛他的人所預備的，
是眼睛沒有見過，耳朵沒有聽過，
人心也沒有想過的。」[d]

10 但是神卻藉著[e]聖靈向我們啟示了，因為聖靈洞察一切，甚至洞察神深奧的事。 11 除了人裡面的靈，到底誰知道人的事呢？照樣，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，而是從神而來的靈，好讓我們能知道神所賜給我們的這些事； 13 並且我們傳講這些事，不是用人的智慧所教導的話語，而是用聖靈所教導的話語，用屬靈的來對比屬靈的。 14 不過一個屬血氣的人不接受屬神的靈的這些事，因為對他來說，這些是愚拙的；他也不能明白，因為這些事要用屬靈的方式才能洞察。 15 屬靈的人能洞察一切，但是沒有人能洞察他。

16 「到底誰曾知道主的心意？
到底誰將教導他呢？」[f]

但是我們有基督的心意了。

Paul’s Reliance upon the Spirit

2 And when I came to you, brothers and sisters, I (A)did not come as someone superior in [a]speaking ability or [b]wisdom, as I proclaimed to you (B)the [c]testimony of God. 2 For I determined to know nothing among you except (C)Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. 3 I also was with you in (D)weakness and (E)fear, and in great trembling, 4 and my [d]message and my preaching were (F)not in persuasive words of [e]wisdom, but in demonstration of (G)the Spirit and of power, 5 so that your faith would not [f]rest on the [g]wisdom of mankind, but on (H)the power of God.

6 Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are (I)mature; a wisdom, however, not of (J)this age nor of the rulers of (K)this age, who are (L)passing away; 7 but we speak God’s wisdom in a (M)mystery, the hidden wisdom which God (N)predestined before the (O)ages to our glory; 8 the wisdom (P)which none of the rulers of (Q)this age has understood; for if they had understood it, they would not have crucified (R)the Lord of glory; 9 but just as it is written:

“(S)Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard,
And which have not entered the human heart,
All that God has prepared for those who love Him.”

10 [h](T)For to us God revealed them (U)through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the (V)depths of God. 11 For who among people knows the thoughts of a person except the (W)spirit of the person that is in him? So also the thoughts of God no one knows, except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we (X)have not received the spirit of (Y)the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God. 13 We also speak these things, (Z)not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, [i]combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.

14 But [j]a (AA)natural person (AB)does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are (AC)foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But the one who is (AD)spiritual discerns all things, yet he himself is [k]discerned by no one. 16 For (AE)who has known the mind of the Lord, that he will instruct Him? But (AF)we have the mind of Christ.
