因此、曩者予在爾處講述天主之妙證、亦未嘗用高言奇智；

弟兄们，从前我到你们那里去，并没有用高言大智对你们宣传神的奥秘。

弟兄们，从前我到你们那里去，并没有用高言大智对你们宣讲上帝的奥秘。

弟兄姊妹，我当初到你们那里传扬上帝的奥秘，并没有用高深的言论或哲理。

所以弟兄們，我從前到你們那裏去，並沒有用超特的話語或智慧、去傳布上帝的證言給你們啊。

弟兄們，我以前到你們那裡去的時候，並沒有用高言大智對你們傳講神的奧祕，

兄弟乎、我素就爾、宣上帝之奧秘、不以高言峻智、

兄弟乎、我素就爾、傳上帝道、不用高言峻智、

兄弟乎、我昔就爾傳道、為天主作證、未用高言大智、

And so it was with me, brothers and sisters. When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God.

And this was the way it was with me, brothers and sisters. When I came to you, I didn’t come with fancy words or human wisdom. I preached to you the truth about God’s love.

And I, when I came to you, brothers, did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God with lofty speech or wisdom.

When I first came to you, dear brothers and sisters, I didn’t use lofty words and impressive wisdom to tell you God’s secret plan.

When I came to you, brothers and sisters, announcing the mystery of God to you, I did not come with brilliance of speech or wisdom.

And when I came to you, brothers and sisters, I did not come as someone superior in speaking ability or wisdom, as I proclaimed to you the testimony of God.

And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God.

And I, brethren, when I came unto you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.

When I came to you, brothers, announcing the testimony of God to you, I did not come with brilliance of speech or wisdom.

蓋予所受於基督之使命、非為付洗、乃為傳道。而巧言妙語、未嘗用之、誠恐基督之十字架轉失效能。

蓋予之談吐及論道、非恃人智之巧言妙語、惟恃神力之明徵、

且吾人論述天主之事、不假人智之術語、而悉循聖神之默啟、亦欲以心明心、以神會神而已。

而基督之妙證得確立於爾曹之中；

若望乃徵己所親睹者悉為天主之明訓、及耶穌基督之妙證。

見主語予曰：「速離耶路撒冷、勿延；以汝為予作證、其人必不領受。」

頗聞人言：『彼之書札、雖雷厲風行；而彼之形軀、則柔弱無能、言語更無足輕重。』

吾雖拙於辭令、要非疏於學識者；此固爾等之所洞悉也。

故望勿以為主作證是羞、亦勿以予之因主被囚為恥。當賴天主之德、毅然與我共為福音而忍辱負重也。

斯輩不事吾主基督、惟事口腹、以巧言媚語、誘惑庸眾。

勸化猶太及希臘人士、悔過自新、歸向天主、信賴吾主耶穌基督。

厥後葆樂離雅典、抵格林多、遇猶太人亞吉拉及其妻彼斯加、亞吉拉生於本都。近以格老第命猶太人盡離羅馬、故偕妻自義大利遷此。葆樂訪之、因其亦以製幕為業、遂與同寓而經營焉。每屆禮日、葆樂講道會堂、迪化猶太人與希臘人。

主臨之日、一切諸聖、皆當映其光輝、凡信之者、皆當彰其大德；是乃吾等之所傳、而爾等之所信也。

且吾人亦知聖父曾遣其聖子為救世主、此則吾人所親睹而可作證者也。

吾乃俯伏而拜之、彼止之曰：「慎莫為此！我與爾及信奉耶穌妙證之眾兄弟、皆屬同寅；爾當敬拜天主耳。蓋耶穌之妙證、實為一切預言之靈樞。」

以及其他違悖正道者而設也。正道者何、即全德天主光榮之福音是已；而予則受斯重寄焉。

我若望為爾之同胞、與爾在耶穌懷中共受患難、同屬一國、而咸秉忍辱負重之德。吾因天主之明訓及耶穌之妙證、而被流至巴脫摩海島。
