哥林多前書 I Corinthians 1:18-19
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。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。
18 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. 19 For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”
