1:1 奉 神旨意，蒙召作耶穌基督使徒的保羅，同兄弟所提尼， Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
1:2 寫信給在哥林多 神的教會，就是在基督耶穌裏成聖、蒙召作聖徒的，以及所有在各處求告我主耶穌基督之名的人。基督是他們的主，也是我們的主。 To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ--their Lord and ours: 1:3 願恩惠、平安從 神我們的父並主耶穌基督歸與你們。 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 1:4 我常為你們感謝我的 神，因 神在基督耶穌裏所賜給你們的恩惠； I always thank God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. 1:5 又因你們在他裏面凡事富足，口才、知識都全備， For in him you have been enriched in every way--in all your speaking and in all your knowledge-- 1:6 正如我為基督作的見證，在你們心裏得以堅固， because our testimony about Christ was confirmed in you. 1:7 以致你們在恩賜上沒有一樣不及人的，等候我們的主耶穌基督顯現。 Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed. 1:8 他也必堅固你們到底，叫你們在我們主耶穌基督的日子無可責備。 He will keep you strong to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1:9 神是信實的，你們原是被他所召，好與他兒子─我們的主耶穌基督一同得分。 God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful. 1:10 弟兄們，我藉我們主耶穌基督的名勸你們都說一樣的話。你們中間也不可分黨，只要一心一意，彼此相合。 0 I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought. 1:11 因為革來氏家裏的人曾對我提起弟兄們來，說你們中間有紛爭。 My brothers, some from Chloe's household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. 1:12 我的意思就是你們各人說：「我是屬保羅的」；「我是屬亞波羅的」；「我是屬磯洗的」；「我是屬基督的」。 What I mean is this: One of you says, <<I follow Paul>>; another, <<I follow Apollos>>; another, <<I follow Cephas(\f1 1:12 That is, Peter)>>; still another, <<I follow Christ.>> 1:13 基督是分開的嗎？保羅為你們釘了十字架嗎？你們是奉保羅的名受了洗嗎？ Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized into(\f2 1:13 Or|i in|d; also in verse 15) the name of Paul? 1:14 我感謝 神，除了基利司布並該猶以外，我沒有給你們一個人施洗； I am thankful that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius, 1:15 免得有人說，你們是奉我的名受洗。 so no one can say that you were baptized into my name. 1:16 我也給司提法那家施過洗，此外給別人施洗沒有，我卻記不清。 (Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I don't remember if I baptized anyone else.) 1:17 基督差遣我，原不是為施洗，乃是為傳福音，並不用智慧的言語，免得基督的十字架落了空。 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel--not with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power. 1:18 因為十字架的道理，在那滅亡的人為愚拙；在我們得救的人，卻為 神的大能。 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 1:19 就如經上所記：我要滅絕智慧人的智慧，廢棄聰明人的聰明。 For it is written: <<I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.>> (\f3 1:19 Isaiah 29:14) 1:20 智慧人在哪裏？文士在哪裏？這世上的辯士在哪裏？ 神豈不是叫這世上的智慧變成愚拙嗎？ Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 1:21 世人憑自己的智慧，既不認識 神， 神就樂意用人所當作愚拙的道理，拯救那些信的人；這就是 神的智慧了。 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 1:22 猶太人是要 神蹟，希臘人是求智慧， Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom, 1:23 我們卻是傳釘十字架的基督，在猶太人為絆腳石，在外邦人為愚拙； but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 1:24 但在那蒙召的，無論是猶太人、希臘人，基督總為 神的能力， 神的智慧。 but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 1:25 因 神的愚拙總比人智慧， 神的軟弱總比人強壯。 For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength. 1:26 弟兄們哪，可見你們蒙召的，按著肉體有智慧的不多，有能力的不多，有尊貴的也不多。 Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 1:27 神卻揀選了世上愚拙的，叫有智慧的羞愧；又揀選了世上軟弱的，叫那強壯的羞愧。 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 1:28 神也揀選了世上卑賤的，被人厭惡的，以及那無有的，為要廢掉那有的。 He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things--and the things that are not--to nullify the things that are, 1:29 使一切有血氣的，在 神面前一個也不能自誇。 so that no one may boast before him. 1:30 但你們得在基督耶穌裏，是本乎 神， 神又使他成為我們的智慧、公義、聖潔、救贖。 It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God--that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. 1:31 如經上所記：『誇口的，當指著主誇口。』 Therefore, as it is written: <<Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.>>( \f4 1:31 Jer. 9:24) This is Alex Markley's PHPScripture v1.2.0, displaying a copy of Chinese Union Version Bible in XOOPS. 本模組中文化由長島基督福音教會的Jack起始, 聖經文字部分由CCIM(網路基督使團)網站下載. 如欲修改經文請洽聖經公會. 荒漠甘泉五合一■ 中文荒漠甘泉（12月30日）
十二月卅日 「於是彼得被囚在監裏。教會卻為他切切的禱告神。」使徒行傳十二章5節 彼得在監裏等待處決。教會既沒有能力拯救他，又沒有勢力拯救他。地上的幫助得不到了，可是天上的幫助還能得到。他們切切的禱告神。神遂差遣祂的使者，夜間去拍醒彼得，領他過了第一層、第二層監牢，來到臨街鐵門。那門自己開了，彼得就得了自由。 親愛的，在你的道路上，也許也有鐵門阻塞你的前進。像一隻籠中的鳥一般，你一直在擊打門閂；可是非但得不到幫助，反使你非常疲憊，非常疼痛。你如果學會了秘訣，就不會這樣了。甚麼秘訣呢？就是相信禱告；這樣，當你來到鐵門旁邊，那門就會自己開了。如果你能像當初的教會在樓房裏那樣懇切禱告，你就會節省許多精力，免除許多煩惱，困難也能勝過了；逆境也能順利了；被撒但所捆綁的親友也能得到釋放了。 ─C.H.P. 危急的時候，是禱告最懇切的時候。以利亞在迦密山頂屈身在地，將臉伏在兩膝之中。雖然沒有出聲的話語，他的全人已經與神合一，與神同心合意地反對惡者的勢力。這是我們禱告時所當有的態度。 ─譯自屈膝的時候 說不出來的歎息常是不能拒絕的禱告。 ─司布真

December 30 "Peter was kept in prison: but prayer (instant and earnest prayer) was mad for him." (Acts 12:5, margin) ＰETER was in prison awaiting his execution. The Church had neither human power nor influence to save him. There was no earthly help, but there was help to be obtained by the way of Heaven. They gave themselves to fervent, importunate prayer. God sent His angel, who aroused Peter from sleep and led him out through the first and second wards of the prison; and when they came to the iron gate, it opened to them of its own accord, and Peter was free. There may be some iron gate in your life that has blocked your way. Like a caged bird you have often beaten against the bars, but instead of helping, you have only had to fall back tired, exhausted and sore at heart. There is a secret for you to learn, and that is believing prayer; and when you come to the iron gate, it will open of its own accord. How much wasted energy and sore disappointment will be saved if you will learn to pray as did the Church in the upper room! Insurmountable difficulties will disappear; adverse circumstances will prove favorable if you learn to pray, not with your own faith but with the faith of God (Mark 11:22, Margin). Souls in prison have been waiting for years for the gate to open; loved once out of Christ, bound by Satan, will be set free when you pray till you difinitely believe God. －C. H. P. Emergencies call for intense prayer. When the man becomes the prayer nothing can resist its touch. Elijah on Carmel, bowed down on the ground, with his face between his knees, that was prayer-the man himself. No words are mentioned. Prayer can be too tense for words. The man's whole being was in touch with God, and was set with God against the powers of evil. They couldn't withstand such praying. There's more of this embodied praying needed. －The Bent-knee Time. "Groanings which cannot be uttered are often prayers which cannot be refused." －C. H. Spurgeon.

十二月卅日 神愛心的管家 「人應當以我們為基督的執事，為神奧秘事的管家。所求於管家的是，要他有忠心。」哥林多前書四章1、2節 管家是受國王或主人所託付，將其財產分配給那些有權得到的人。天上的神希望地上的人知道祂有愛的財產，並且願意分給那些需要的人，而福音的執事就是神奧秘事的管家。祂永遠的愛就是極深的奧秘，藉此湧出，使人蒙福。 所求於管家的就是忠心，他必須為此奉獻整個生命；他必須忠心工作，總是在房子內或公共場所告示，何處可取得這種財物。所以，福音執事必須每天活在愛裏並與神交通，不單對神忠心，而且要對人愛心，向交託給自己的人，反射神的愛彼此分享之。屬靈的愛是個奧秘，僅僅可常在那些接待神，滿足於祂的愛，並願如活水江河般地供應於他人的心中。 哦！神的孩子！深深洞察事奉神的奧秘，向罪人作神奇妙愛的管家，常常並且多多為此禱告；如此，神要在這些執事中與你相會，立你為神奧秘事（特別是聖愛之奧秘）的管家。我所愛的弟兄啊！你為神所愛，基督為你死在十字架上。記得所交託你的靈魂、教會和信徒，他們得靠你每天忠心地與神相交，過屬天生活；然後，你才能帶著喜樂和聖靈的大能，對於那些渴慕的人傳遞神的愛。

十二月卅日 世上的思慮 「有世上的思慮，錢財的迷惑，和別樣的私慾……」馬可福音四章19節 聖徒們必須放下一切屬世的思慮，因為這些屬世的思慮會阻擋你靈命的長進。但是在另一方面，我們的仇敵──撒但，牠常常用屬世的事物來霸佔聖徒的心，更用不義的財利來迷惑聖徒的眼睛。他會鼓勵聖徒們去追求物質的享受，使聖徒們心力交瘁。如此可以忽略了對屬靈事工的注意，這是撒但的無上妙計之一，牠將世上的金錢、名譽、地位、學識、家庭、兒女，以及一切的享受來打動聖徒們的心，使產生了貪慾，紛亂的思想，從敬虔聖潔的生活中墮落到平庸、憂煩、疲憊、忙碌裡面。使聖徒們專心注目世上福祿，以致與神的交通阻隔，慢慢地不禱告了，不讀經了，亦不參加聚會了，如此神所賜的各樣屬靈的恩賜就此失去，基督生命的活水亦就無法在墮落的聖徒身上流通了！ 當你在安靜的時候，捫心自問，是否有上述的情形？如有，你必須急速回頭求主耶穌作你的幫助，讓祂生命之光再次來照亮你，你將一切的思慮、錢財、情慾全交給主，並且求主給你一顆新心，好叫我們盡心盡意愛我們的主。

十二月三十日 「……願我們的神……用大能成就你們一切所羨慕的良善，和一切因信心所做的工夫。」帖撒羅尼迦後書一章11節 神今天在找尋一些模範基督徒，因為祂知道若是找到一個真正的模範，要藉著這個人來複製更多同樣的基督徒，將是無可限量的。 生命中每一個經驗都是考驗，因為神以深深嫉妒的愛看著我們勝過每一個經驗。如果我們失敗了，祂會非常失望，而撒但則會歡喜無比。總之，天使及那惡者每一時刻都盯著我們看，所以現在我們所走的每一步，不僅相當重要，而且能決定我們的未來。 當亞伯拉罕往摩利亞山上去的那個清晨，那真是一個最緊張的考驗時刻。然而，亞伯拉罕證明了他是神的僕人，也因此這成為他永遠的印記。神能說：「我眷顧他，為要叫他……遵守我的道，秉公行義，使我所應許亞伯拉罕的話都成就了。」(創十八19) 神今天仍然在找尋像亞伯拉罕這樣的模範。主啊，幫助我們，也能成為世人的模範。
