It is not that we think we are qualified to do anything on our own. Our qualification comes from God.

我们不敢以为自己有资格作什么，我们所能够作的是出于神。

并不是说，我们凭自己配得上把什么算做出于自己；而是说，我们之所以配得上是出于神。

非言自能有所揆度、我之能由上帝而已、

我不能擅自思索、吾之能由上帝、

非謂我儕恃己能由己而思何事、我之能由天主也、

至吾儕本人、則空無所有、不足道也。吾儕之所有皆淵源於天主。

Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God.

In ourselves we are not able to claim anything for ourselves. The power to do what we do comes from God.

Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God,

It is not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God.

Not that we are adequate in ourselves so as to consider anything as having come from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God,

Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God,

not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God;

But whatever I am now, it is all because God poured out his special favor on me— and not without results. For I have worked harder than any of the other apostles; yet it was not I but God who was working through me by his grace.

For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.

Each time he said,“ My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.

“ Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.

Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow.

For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.

But Moses pleaded with the Lord,“ O Lord, I’m not very good with words. I never have been, and I’m not now, even though you have spoken to me. I get tongue tied, and my words get tangled.”Then the Lord asked Moses,“ Who makes a person’s mouth? Who decides whether people speak or do not speak, hear or do not hear, see or do not see? Is it not I, the Lord?Now go! I will be with you as you speak, and I will instruct you in what to say.”But Moses again pleaded,“ Lord, please! Send anyone else.”Then the Lord became angry with Moses.“ All right,” he said.“ What about your brother, Aaron the Levite? I know he speaks well. And look! He is on his way to meet you now. He will be delighted to see you.Talk to him, and put the words in his mouth. I will be with both of you as you speak, and I will instruct you both in what to do.Aaron will be your spokesman to the people. He will be your mouthpiece, and you will stand in the place of God for him, telling him what to say.

When you are arrested, don’t worry about how to respond or what to say. God will give you the right words at the right time.For it is not you who will be speaking— it will be the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.

for I will give you the right words and such wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to reply or refute you!

I planted the seed in your hearts, and Apollos watered it, but it was God who made it grow.

We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves.

“ O Sovereign Lord,” I said,“ I can’t speak for you! I’m too young!”The Lord replied,“ Don’t say,‘ I’m too young,’ for you must go wherever I send you and say whatever I tell you.And don’t be afraid of the people, for I will be with you and will protect you. I, the Lord, have spoken!”Then the Lord reached out and touched my mouth and said,“ Look, I have put my words in your mouth!Today I appoint you to stand up against nations and kingdoms. Some you must uproot and tear down, destroy and overthrow. Others you must build up and plant.”

Because of God’s grace to me, I have laid the foundation like an expert builder. Now others are building on it. But whoever is building on this foundation must be very careful.

“ And now I will send the Holy Spirit, just as my Father promised. But stay here in the city until the Holy Spirit comes and fills you with power from heaven.”

To those who are perishing, we are a dreadful smell of death and doom. But to those who are being saved, we are a life giving perfume. And who is adequate for such a task as this?
