For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

因为十字架的道理，在那灭亡的人为愚拙；在我们得救的人，却为神的大能。

因为十字架的道理，在那灭亡的人是愚拙，在我们得救的人却是上帝的大能。

因为十字架的道理，在那灭亡的人是愚拙，在我们得救的人却是神的大能。

因为十字架之道在将要灭亡的人看来是愚昧的，但对我们这些得救的人来说却是上帝的大能，

因为十字架的道理，对走向灭亡的人来说是愚笨的，但对我们这些得救的人，却是神的大能。

原来，十字架的福音对那些正在灭亡的人来说，是愚拙的；但是对我们这些正在被拯救的人来说，却是神的大能。

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。

因為十字架的道理，在那滅亡的人是愚拙，在我們得救的人卻是上帝的大能。

因為十字架的道理，在那滅亡的人是愚拙，在我們得救的人卻是神的大能。

因為十字架之道在將要滅亡的人看來是愚昧的，但對我們這些得救的人來說卻是上帝的大能，

因為十字架的道理，對走向滅亡的人來說是愚笨的，但對我們這些得救的人，卻是神的大能。

因為十字架之道、在滅亡着的人看是愚拙，在我們得救着的人看、卻是上帝的能力。

原來，十字架的福音對那些正在滅亡的人來說，是愚拙的；但是對我們這些正在被拯救的人來說，卻是神的大能。

夫十架之道、於淪亡者則為愚、於我儕得救者、則為上帝之能、

夫十字架之道、沉淪者、視為不智、我儕得救者、視為上帝大用、

因十字架之道、在彼淪亡者視為愚、惟在我儕得救者、則視為天主之大能、

夫聖架之道、在喪心病狂不可救藥者視之、愚莫甚焉；而在沾溉救恩之吾人視之、則天主之德能也。

The unbeliever 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.

and with every kind of evil deception directed against those who are perishing, because they found no place in their hearts for the truth so as to be saved.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is God’s power for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled only to those who are perishing,

but we preach about a crucified Christ, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles.But to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.

For I decided to be concerned about nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

For since in the wisdom of God the world by its wisdom did not know God, God was pleased to save those who believe by the foolishness of preaching.

For we are a sweet aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing–to the latter an odor from death to death, but to the former a fragrance from life to life. And who is adequate for these things?

For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any double- edged sword, piercing even to the point of dividing soul from spirit, and joints from marrow; it is able to judge the desires and thoughts of the heart.

Those who want to make a good showing in external matters are trying to force you to be circumcised. They do so only to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ.For those who are circumcised do not obey the law themselves, but they want you to be circumcised so that they can boast about your flesh.But may I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

for the weapons of our warfare are not human weapons, but are made powerful by God for tearing down strongholds. We tear down arguments

in that our gospel did not come to you merely in words, but in power and in the Holy Spirit and with deep conviction( surely you recall the character we displayed when we came among you to help you).

Also some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers were conversing with him, and some were asking,“ What does this foolish babbler want to say?” Others said,“ He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign gods.”( They said this because he was proclaiming the good news about Jesus and the resurrection.)

The LORD extends your dominion from Zion. Rule in the midst of your enemies!Your people willingly follow you when you go into battle. On the holy hills at sunrise the dew of your youth belongs to you.

and by which you are being saved, if you hold firmly to the message I preached to you– unless you believed in vain.

For the wisdom of this age is foolishness with God. As it is written,“ He catches the wise in their craftiness.”

Now when they heard about the resurrection from the dead, some began to scoff, but others said,“ We will hear you again about this.”

‘ Look, you scoffers; be amazed and perish! For I am doing a work in your days, a work you would never believe, even if someone tells you.’”

praising God and having the good will of all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number every day those who were being saved.
