哥林多前书 2

信仰的基础

1 弟兄姊妺，我当初到你们那里传扬上帝的奥秘，并没有用高深的言论或哲理。2 因为我已决定在你们当中不谈别的，只讲耶稣基督和祂被钉十字架的事。3 那时我在你们当中很软弱，害怕，战战兢兢。4 我说话、讲道不是靠充满智慧的雄辩之词，而是靠圣灵的能力作明证，5 好使你们的信仰不是以人的智慧为基础，而是以上帝的能力为基础。

6 当然我们也跟成熟的人谈论智慧，不过并非这个世代的智慧，也不是那些在世上当权、将来要衰亡之人的智慧。7 我们所讲的是上帝隐藏在奥秘中的智慧，是祂为了使我们得荣耀而在万世以前定好的智慧。8 只可惜世上当权的人没有一个明白这智慧。他们要是明白，就不会把荣耀的主钉在十字架上了。9 正如圣经上说：“上帝为爱祂的人所预备的，是眼睛未曾见过，耳朵未曾听闻，人心也未曾想到的。”

10 然而，上帝借着圣灵将这一切启示给我们，因为圣灵洞悉万事，连上帝深奥的事都了如指掌。11 除了人里面的灵，谁能了解人的事呢？照样，除了上帝的圣灵，谁也不能了解上帝的事。12 我们接受的不是这世界的灵，而是上帝的圣灵，使我们可以领会上帝开恩启示给我们的事。13 我们讲述这些事，不是用人类智慧所教的话，而是用圣灵所教的话，用属灵的话解释属灵的事t。

14 然而，属血气的人不接受从上帝来的圣灵的教导，认为愚不可及，无法明白，因为只有属灵的人才能参透。15 属灵的人能够参透万事，但没有人能参透他。16 “谁曾知道主的心意，能够指教祂呢？”但我们明白基督的心意。

1 Corinthians 2

1 When I camet to you, brothers and sisters,t I did not come with superior eloquence or wisdom as I proclaimed the testimonys of God.2 For I decided to be concerned about nothingt among you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.3 And I was with you in weakness and in fear and with much trembling.4 My conversation and my preaching were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

5 so that your faith would not be based on human wisdom but on the power of God.

Wisdom from God

6 Now we do speak wisdom among the mature,t but not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are perishing.7 Instead we speak the wisdom of God, hidden in a mystery, that God determined before the ages for our glory.8 None of the rulers of this age understood it. If they had known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.9 But just as it is written, “Things that no eye has seen, or ear heard, or mind imagined,tare the things God has prepared for those who love him.”s10 God has revealed these to us by the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.11 For who among men knows the things of a man except the man’s spirit within him? So too, no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.12 Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things that are freely given to us by God.13 And we speak about these things, not with words taught us by human wisdom, but with those taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual things to spiritual people.t14 The unbelievert does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him. And he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.15 The one who is spiritual discernst all things, yet he himself is understoodt by no one.

16 For who has known the mind of the Lord, so as to advise him?s But we have the mind of Christ.
