1 Corinthians 2
1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not in loftiness of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of Christ.
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，
2 For I judged not myself to know anything among you, but Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
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；
3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
而且當我們到你們那裡的時候，又軟弱，又恐懼，又戰懼不安；
4 And my speech and my preaching was not in the persuasive words of human wisdom, but in shewing of the Spirit and power;
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，
5 That your faith might not stand on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.
為使你們的信德不是憑人的智慧，而是憑天主的德能。
6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among the perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, neither of the princes of this world that come to nought; (aiōn g165)
我們在成全的人中，也講智慧，不過不是今世的智慧，也不是今世將要消滅的權勢者的智慧； (aiōn g165)
7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, a wisdom which is hidden, which God ordained before the world, unto our glory: (aiōn g165)
我們所講的，乃是那隱藏的，天主奧秘的智慧，這智慧是天主在萬世之前，為使我們獲得光榮所預定的； (aiōn g165)
8 Which none of the princes of this world knew; for if they had known it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn g165)
今世有權勢的人中沒有一個認識她，因為如果他們認識了，決不至於將光榮的主釘在十字架上。 (aiōn g165)
9 But, as it is written: That eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that love him.
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。』
10 But to us God hath revealed them, by this Spirit. For the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
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。
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, but the spirit of a man that is in him? So the things also that are of God no man knoweth, but the Spirit of God.
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。
12 Now we have received not the spirit of this world, but the Spirit that is of God; that we may know the things that are given us from God.
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。
13 Which things also we speak, not in the learned words of human wisdom; but in the doctrine of the Spirit, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
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。
14 But the sensual man perceiveth not these things that are of the Spirit of God; for it is foolishness to him, and he cannot understand, because it is spiritually examined.
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。
15 But the spiritual man judgeth all things; and he himself is judged of no man.
惟有屬神的人能審斷一切，但他卻不為任何人所審斷。
16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that we may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
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。
