1 Corinthians 2
1 And I, when I came to you, brethren, came not in excellency of word, or wisdom, announcing to you the testimony of God.
兄弟姐妹们，以前去拜访你们时，我讲述了上帝希望你们了解的正道，但并未试图用漂亮的辞藻或看似精妙的智慧来吸引你们。
2 For I did not judge [it well] to know anything among you save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
因为我决定，与你们在一起时，我只想关注耶稣基督和他钉上十字架之事。
3 And I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling;
我以软弱、惧怕和战战兢兢的方式出现在你们面前。
4 and my word and my preaching, not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of [the] Spirit and of power;
我并未用雄辩的智慧语言说服你们，只是通过证据和圣灵力量予以证明，
5 that your faith might not stand in men's wisdom, but in God's power.
通过这种方式，你们才不会凭借人的智慧相信上帝，而是凭借上帝的能力。
6 But we speak wisdom among the perfect; but wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who come to nought. (aiōn g165)
但当我们与精神成熟之人交流，变回使用智慧之语，但并非这世间的智慧，也不是人类统治者的智慧，这些统治者很快就会从世间消失。相反， (aiōn g165)
7 But we speak God's wisdom in [a] mystery, that hidden [wisdom] which God had predetermined before the ages for our glory: (aiōn g165)
我们以奥秘解读上帝的智慧。上帝在创世之前便已为我们的荣耀立下这奥秘，曾一直被隐藏，如今已经显现。 (aiōn g165)
8 which none of the princes of this age knew, (for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory; ) (aiōn g165)
没有哪位人间当权者知晓这奥秘，如果他们知道，就不会把荣耀之主钉上十字架。 (aiōn g165)
9 but according as it is written, Things which eye has not seen, and ear not heard, and which have not come into man's heart, which God has prepared for them that love him,
正如经文所记：“上帝为爱他之人所准备的一切，乃眼不曾见过、双耳不曾听过、人思想未曾想过。”
10 but God has revealed to us by [his] Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.
但上帝却通过圣灵向我们显明这一切，因为圣灵能够参透上帝深邃的内在。
11 For who of men hath known the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? thus also the things of God knows no one except the Spirit of God.
除了真实的自己，还有谁了解你的想法？同样，除了上帝的灵，还有谁知晓上帝的想法？
12 But we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which [is] of God, that we may know the things which have been freely given to us of God:
我们从上帝那里领取的不是人世之灵，而是来自上帝的灵，这样我们才能理解上帝的慷慨馈赠到底是什么。
13 which also we speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, communicating spiritual [things] by spiritual [means].
我们的言语也是如此，所使用的并非人类的智慧语言，而是圣灵传授的语言。我们以圣灵的语言，解释何为圣灵。
14 But [the] natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him; and he cannot know [them] because they are spiritually discerned;
当然了，心中没有圣灵之人，也不会接受来自上帝的灵。我们的言语对他们而言就是一派胡言，他们无法理解，因为圣灵之事需细细思量。
15 but the spiritual discerns all things, and he is discerned of no one.
与圣灵同在之人能看透万事，但却无人能看透他。
16 For who has known the mind of [the] Lord, who shall instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
因为“谁理解主的心意并思量着指教他？”但我们的确拥有了基督的心意。
