1 Corinthians 2

1 When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God.

1 弟兄姊妹，我当初到你们那里传扬上帝的奥秘，并没有用高言大智。

2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

2 因为我已决定在你们当中不谈别的，只谈耶稣基督和祂被钉十字架的事。

3 I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling.

3 那时我在你们当中很软弱，害怕，战战兢兢。

4 My message and my preaching were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power,

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 so that your faith would not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power.

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 Among the mature, however, we speak a message of wisdom—but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.

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、将要衰亡之人的智慧。

7 No, we speak of the mysterious and hidden wisdom of God, which He destined for our glory before time began.

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 None of the rulers of this age understood it. For if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

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 Rather, as it is written: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart has imagined, what God has prepared for those who love Him.”

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 But God has revealed it to us by the Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.

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 For who among men knows the thoughts of man except his own spirit within him? So too, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.

11 除了人里面的灵，谁能了解人的事呢？照样，除了上帝的灵，谁也不能了解上帝的事。

12 We have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us.

12 我们接受的不是这世界的灵，而是上帝的灵，使我们可以领会上帝慷慨赐给我们的一切。

13 And this is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.

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 。

14 The natural man does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. For they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

14 然而，属血气的人不接受从上帝的灵而来的教导，认为愚不可及，无法明白，因为只有属灵的人才能参透。

15 The spiritual man judges all things, but he himself is not subject to anyone’s judgment.

15 属灵的人能够参透万事，但没有人能参透他。

16 “For who has known the mind of the Lord, so as to instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.

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。
