哥林多前書 2
1 弟兄們，就是我從前到你們那裡時，也沒有用高超的言論或智慧，給你們宣講天主的奧義，
And when I came to you, brothers, I came not to proclaim God’s great secret purpose in fine language of philosophy;
2 因為我曾決定，在你們中不知道別的，只知道耶穌基督，這被釘在十字架上的耶穌基督；
for I determined to know nothing, while among you, but Jesus as Christ, and him a crucified Christ.
3 而且當我們到你們那裡的時候，又軟弱，又恐懼，又戰懼不安；
In weakness and fear and great trembling came I among you.
4 並且我的言論和我的宣講，並不在於智慧動聽的言辭，而是在於聖神和祂德能的表現，
My message and my preaching were not in the persuasive language of philosophy, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power;
5 為使你們的信德不是憑人的智慧，而是憑天主的德能。
in order that your faith should rest, not on human philosophy, but on the power of God.
Notwithstanding, among those who are mature I do teach philosophy; though not the philosophy of the present age, nor of its rulers who are coming to nought. (aiōn g165)
No, it is God’s wisdom that I utter, that hidden wisdom which God had decreed before the world began, unto our glory. (aiōn g165)
None of the rulers of the present age understands it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory. (aiōn g165)
9 經上這樣記載說：『天主為愛祂的人所準備的，是眼所未見，耳所未聞，心所未想到的。』
Nay, as it is written. Eye has not seen, Nor ear heard, Neither have entered into man’s heart The things which God has prepared For those who love him.
10 可是又主藉著聖神將這一切啟示給我們了，因為聖神洞察一切，就連天主的深奧事理也洞悉。
Yet God has unveiled them to us by his Spirit. For the Spirit fathoms everything, even the abysmal depths of God.
11 除了人內裏的心神外，有誰能知道那人的事呢？同樣，除了天主聖神外，誰也不能明瞭天主的事。
For what man knows the depths of man except the man’s own inner Spirit? Even so, also, the Spirit of God knows the deeps profound of God.
12 我們所領受的，不是這世界的精神，而是出於天主的聖神，為使我們能明瞭天主所賜與我們的一切。
But we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which comes forth from God, that we may realize the blessings freely given us by God.
13 為此，我們宣講，並不用人的智慧所教的言詞，而是用聖神所教的言詞，給屬神的人講論屬神的事。
Of these high themes we speak in words not taught by human philosophy, but by the Spirit; interpreting spiritual things to spiritual men.
14 然而屬血氣的人，不能領受天主聖神的事，因為為他是愚妄；他也不能領悟，因為這些事只有藉聖神才可審斷。
The unspiritual man rejects the teachings of God’s Spirit; for him it is folly. He cannot understand it, for it is spiritually discerned,
15 惟有屬神的人能審斷一切，但他卻不為任何人所審斷。
But the spiritual man discerns everything, yet is himself discerned by no one.
16 經上說：『誰知道上主的心意，去指教祂呢？』可是我們有基督的心意。
For what man understands the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct Him?
