你們既然精明，竟喜歡容忍糊塗人！

你们既是精明人，就能甘心忍耐愚妄人。

你们是聪明人，竟能甘心容忍愚蠢人！

你们是聪明人，竟能甘心容忍愚蠢人！

因为你们这些聪明人竟然甘愿忍受那些傻瓜，

你们那么精明，竟然乐意容忍愚昧的人。

因为你们做为聪明人，乐意容忍愚妄的人！

你們既是精明人，就能甘心忍耐愚妄人。

你們是聰明人，竟能甘心容忍愚蠢人！

你們是聰明人，竟能甘心容忍愚蠢人！

因為你們這些聰明人竟然甘願忍受那些傻瓜，

你們那麼精明，竟然樂意容忍愚昧的人。

因為你們做為聰明人，樂意容忍愚妄的人！

爾既為智、於愚者則欣然容之、

爾固智者、見人之狂、淡然聽之、

爾既為智者、則甘心容彼狂者、

蓋爾明哲、固能優容狂妄之徒；

You gladly put up with fools since you are so wise!

You are so wise! You gladly put up with fools!

For you gladly bear with fools, being wise yourselves!

After all, you think you are so wise, but you enjoy putting up with fools!

For you, being so wise, gladly put up with fools!

For you, being so wise, tolerate the foolish gladly.

For you put up with fools gladly, since you yourselves are wise!

For ye bear with the foolish gladly, being wise yourselves.

For you, being so wise, gladly put up with fools!

For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye[ yourselves] are wise.

For since you are so wise, you put up with fools gladly.

For you bear with the foolish gladly, being wise.

我們為基督的緣故愚拙，你們在基督裏倒精明！我們軟弱，你們倒強壯！你們受尊榮，我們倒被羞辱！

論到祭偶像之物、我們曉得「我們都有知識」。但知識能自吹自大，惟獨愛能建立人。

我是拿你們當做精明人來說話的；你們要判斷我所說的。

因為你說：我富足，我得了財富，我一無所缺；卻不知你正是那慘苦、可憐、貧窮、瞎眼、赤身的。
