我们讲的不是世界上的智慧 — 哥林多前书读经随笔 第2章

哥林多前书第二章保罗说，在成熟的基督徒中，我们也讲论智慧，但并不是这世界上的智慧，也不是这世界上统治者的智慧，而是神的智慧。神用他独生子耶稣在十字架上流的血洗净罪人，第三日复活，使信耶稣基督的得救有永生，这就是神的智慧。成熟的基督徒明白神的智慧。保罗说我们所领受的，并不是这世界上的灵，乃是从神来的灵，叫我们能知道神的智慧。因为圣灵参透万事，就是神深奥的事也参透了。保罗说我们讲说这些事，不是用人的智慧话语，而是用圣灵所指教的言语，用属灵的话解释属灵的事。

林前2:6 然而在完全的人中、我们也讲智慧．但不是这世上的智慧、也不是这世上有权有位将要败亡之人的智慧．
We speak wisdom, however, among those who are full grown; yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nothing.
林前2:7 我们讲的、乃是从前所隐藏、 神奥秘的智慧、就是 神在万世以前、预定使我们得荣耀的．
But we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory,
林前2:8 这智慧世上有权有位的人没有一个知道的．他们若知道、就不把荣耀的主钉在十字架上了．
which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn't have crucified the Lord of glory.
林前2:9 如经上所记、『 神为爱他的人所预备的、是眼睛未曾看见、耳朵未曾听见、人心也未曾想到的。』
But as it is written, "Things which an eye didn't see, and an ear didn't hear, which didn't enter into the heart of man, these God has prepared for those who love him."
林前2:10 只有 神借着圣灵向我们显明了．因为圣灵参透万事、就是 神深奥的事也参透了。
But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
林前2:11 除了在人里头的灵、谁知道人的事．像这样、除了 神的灵、也没有人知道 神的事。
For who among men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God, except God's Spirit.
林前2:12 我们所领受的、并不是世上的灵、乃是从 神来的灵、叫我们能知道 神开恩赐给我们的事。
But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that were freely given to us by God.
林前2:13 并且我们讲说这些事、不是用人智慧所指教的言语、乃是用圣灵所指教的言语、将属灵的话、解释属灵的事。〔或作将属灵的事讲与属灵的人〕
Which things also we speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.
