¹只传耶稣基督钉十字架

¹And I, having come unto you, brethren, came — not in superiority of discourse or wisdom — declaring to you the testimony of God,

²因为我曾立定主意，在你们中间什么都不想知道，只知道耶稣基督和他钉十字架的事。

²for I decided not to know any thing among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified;

³我在你们那里的时候，又软弱又惧怕，而且战战兢兢；

³and I, in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling, was with you;

⁴我说的话、讲的道，都不是用智慧的话去说服人，而是用圣灵和能力来证明，

⁴and my word and my preaching was not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power —

⁵使你们的信不是凭着人的智慧，而是凭着　神的能力。

⁵that your faith may not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

⁶属灵的人看透万事然而在信心成熟的人中间，我们也讲智慧，但不是这世代的智慧，也不是这世代将要灭亡的执政者的智慧。

⁶And wisdom we speak among the perfect, and wisdom not of this age, nor of the rulers of this age — of those becoming useless,

⁷我们所讲的，是从前隐藏的、　神奥秘的智慧，就是　神在万世以前，为我们的荣耀所预定的；

⁷but we speak the hidden wisdom of God in a secret, that God foreordained before the ages to our glory,

⁸这智慧，这世代执政的人没有一个知道，如果他们知道，就不会把荣耀的主钉在十字架上了。

⁸which no one of the rulers of this age did know, for if they had known, the Lord of the glory they would not have crucified;

⁹正如经上所记：“　神为爱他的人所预备的，是眼睛未曾见过，耳朵未曾听过，人心也未曾想到的。”

⁹but, according as it hath been written, `What eye did not see, and ear did not hear, and upon the heart of man came not up, what God did prepare for those loving Him —`

¹⁰但　神却借着圣灵把这些向我们显明了，因为圣灵测透万事，连　神深奥的事也测透了。

¹⁰but to us did God reveal [them] through His Spirit, for the Spirit all things doth search, even the depths of God,

¹¹除了在人里面的灵，谁能知道人的事呢？同样，除了　神的灵，也没有人知道　神的事。

¹¹for who of men hath known the things of the man, except the spirit of the man that [is] in him? so also the things of God no one hath known, except the Spirit of God.

¹²我们所领受的，不是这世界的灵，而是从　神来的灵，使我们能知道　神开恩赐给我们的事。

¹²And we the spirit of the world did not receive, but the Spirit that [is] of God, that we may know the things conferred by God on us,

¹³我们也讲这些事，不是用人的智慧所教的言语，而是用圣灵所教的言语，向属灵的人解释属灵的事（“向属灵的人解释属灵的事”或译：“用属灵的话解释属灵的事”）。

¹³which things also we speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Holy Spirit, with spiritual things spiritual things comparing,

¹⁴然而属血气的人不接受　神的灵的事，因为他以为是愚笨的；而且他也不能够明白，因为这些事，要有属灵的眼光才能领悟。

¹⁴and the natural man doth not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for to him they are foolishness, and he is not able to know [them], because spiritually they are discerned;

¹⁵属灵的人能看透万事，却没有人能看透他，

¹⁵and he who is spiritual, doth discern indeed all things, and he himself is by no one discerned;

¹⁶如经上所记：“谁曾知道主的心意，能够指教他呢？”但我们已经得着基督的心意了。

¹⁶for who did know the mind of the Lord that he shall instruct Him? and we — we have the mind of Christ.
