全新四年樂活讀經
W1 2011-12-12 (林前2)
經文: 哥林多前書 2:2 因為我曾定了主意,在你們中間不知道別的,只知道耶穌基督並他釘十字架。
默想: 對保羅而言,他在大馬色被主耶穌光照與呼召之後,生命價值體系有了一百八十度的轉變。他從一個自以為是、不可一世的法利賽人。自誇第八天受割禮;是以色列族、便雅憫支派的人,是希伯來人所生的希伯來人。就律法說,是法利賽人;就熱心說,是逼迫教會的;就律法上的義說,是無可指摘的。但是,主耶穌將他完全的轉變。先前保羅以為有益的,現在因基督都當作有損的。不但如此,保羅也將萬事當作有損的,因保羅以認識主基督耶穌為至寶。保羅願意為主耶穌丟棄萬事,看作糞土,為要得著主;並且得以在他裡面,不是有自己因律法而得的義,乃是有信基督的義,就是因信神而來的義。保羅盼望自己能更深的認識基督,曉得他復活的大能,並且曉得和基督一同受苦,效法他的死,盼望他將來也可以像基督一樣從死裡復活。(腓3:5-11) 求主幫助我,也有保羅一樣的心志。
題目: 1-16節,保羅說要如何傳講和領會神奧秘的事?你有何看法與感想?
2:1 弟兄們,從前我到你們那裡去,並沒有用高言大智對你們宣傳 神的奧祕。
When I came to you, brethren, I did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God in lofty words or wisdom.
2:2 因為我曾定了主意,在你們中間不知道別的,只知道耶穌基督並他釘十字架。
For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
2:3 我在你們那裡,又軟弱又懼怕,又甚戰兢。
And I was with you in weakness and in much fear and trembling;
2:4 我說的話、講的道,不是用智慧委婉的言語,乃是用聖靈和大能的明證,
and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
2:5 叫你們的信不在乎人的智慧,只在乎 神的大能。
that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.
2:6 然而,在完全的人中,我們也講智慧。但不是這世上的智慧,也不是這世上有權有位、將要敗亡之人的智慧。
Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to pass away.
2:7 我們講的,乃是從前所隱藏、 神奧祕的智慧,就是 神在萬世以前預定使我們得榮耀的。
But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glorification.
2:8 這智慧世上有權有位的人沒有一個知道的,他們若知道,就不把榮耀的主釘在十字架上了。
None of the rulers of this age understood this; for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
2:9 如經上所記: 神為愛他的人所預備的是眼睛未曾看見,耳朵未曾聽見,人心也未曾想到的。
But, as it is written, "What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him,"
2:10 只有 神藉著聖靈向我們顯明了,因為聖靈參透萬事,就是 神深奧的事也參透了。
God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.
2:11 除了在人裡頭的靈,誰知道人的事;像這樣,除了 神的靈,也沒有人知道 神的事。
For what person knows a man's thoughts except the spirit of the man which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.
2:12 我們所領受的,並不是世上的靈,乃是從 神來的靈,叫我們能知道 神開恩賜給我們的事。
Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might understand the gifts bestowed on us by God.
2:13 並且我們講說這些事,不是用人智慧所指教的言語,乃是用聖靈所指教的言語,將屬靈的話解釋屬靈的事(或作:將屬靈的事講與屬靈的人)。
And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who possess the Spirit.
2:14 然而,屬血氣的人不領會 神聖靈的事,反倒以為愚拙,並且不能知道,因為這些事惟有屬靈的人才能看透。
The unspiritual man does not receive the gifts of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.
2:15 屬靈的人能看透萬事,卻沒有一人能看透了他。
The spiritual man judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one.
2:16 誰曾知道主的心去教導他呢?但我們是有基督的心了。
"For who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?" But we have the mind of Christ.
When I came to you, brethren, I did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God in lofty words or wisdom.
2:2 因為我曾定了主意,在你們中間不知道別的,只知道耶穌基督並他釘十字架。
For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.

不論保羅是用「見證」或「奧秘」,他想到的都是同一件事,就是傳講基督的福音。「弟兄們,從前我到你們那裡去,並沒有用高言大智對你們宣傳神的奧秘。」他從雅典到哥林多,去宣講神的奧佖,即指基督的福音。」神的「奧秘」是整個基督的福音,但因考慮到哥林多人的光景,保羅只能向他們傳講:耶穌基督,並他釘十字架,三日從死裡復活的『福音』 。
回覆刪除保羅對【如何傳講並領會神奧秘的事】的看法是:
一、不用高言大智,乃用聖靈和大能的明證傳講神的奧秘(林前 2: 1~5節)
二、領會神深奧之事的原則(林前 2: 10~16節):
a) 只有藉著聖靈才能知道神開恩賜給我們的事(林前 2: 10~12節)
b) 我們必須按聖靈的指教傳講這些事(林前 2: 13節)
c) 這些事只有屬靈的人才能領會(林前 2: 14~15節)
d) 因為屬靈的人有基督的悟性(林前 2: 16節) ――《黃迦勒《哥林多前書註解》》
對我的提醒:
『耶穌基督被釘十字架』,『死而復活』,一直到最終的『榮耀』,完全是『神奧秘的智慧』,是『神深奧的事』,只有神藉著聖靈向我們啟示』,我們才能『看透』。這『神深奧的事』,不是人肉體能參透的。人的靈,只能知道人的事,但神的靈,卻能知道神的事;還有藉著基督的心思(mind),這一個心思叫我們能明白神的事。這裡保羅所傳福音,不用智慧委娩的言語,只用聖靈大能的明證,主要是高舉基督,廣傳福音,領人相信那耶穌基督在十字架上『死而復活』的真理。
