This is how you should think about us, who are leaders in the church. We are Christ’s servants. God has also given a special job to us. We must explain his message to people so that they understand it. Anyone who has that kind of job must do what his master wants. That is the important thing. 1 Corinthians 4:1‭-‬2

人應當以我們為基督的執事，為上帝奧祕事的管家。 所求於管家的，是要他有忠心。 哥林多前書 4:1‭-‬2

God has already put Jesus Christ as the only foundation of this building. So, nobody can put any other foundation there. 1 Corinthians 3:11

因為那已經立好的根基就是耶穌基督，此外沒有人能立別的根基。 哥林多前書 3:11

The person who plants and the person who gives water both have the same purpose. God will pay each person what is right for their work. 1 Corinthians 3:8

栽種的和澆灌的，都是一樣，但將來各人要照自己的工夫得自己的賞賜。 哥林多前書 3:8

This is written in the Bible: ‘Nobody ever saw or heard anything about this. Nobody ever thought that it could happen. But these are the things that God has prepared for his people who love him.’ But God has sent his Spirit to show these secrets to us. God’s Spirit looks carefully into everything. He even knows God’s hidden thoughts. 1 Corinthians 2:9‭-‬10

如經上所記： 上帝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。 只有上帝藉着聖靈向我們顯明了，因為聖靈參透萬事，就是上帝深奧的事也參透了。 哥林多前書 2:9‭-‬10

God himself is wise. He has decided that people can not know him just because they are wise in their own way. Instead, God uses the message about Jesus to save people. That message may seem to be silly to some people. But when we tell it to people, God saves them if they believe it. 1 Corinthians 1:21

世人憑自己的智慧，既不認識上帝，上帝就樂意用人所當作愚拙的道理拯救那些信的人；這就是上帝的智慧了。
哥林多前書 1:21

Christ did not send me to baptize people. But he did send me to tell God’s good news to people. When I speak his message, I do not use clever words that show how wise I am. It is Christ’s death on the cross that has power to save people. I do not want to spoil that power with clever words. 1 Corinthians 1:17

基督差遣我，原不是為施洗，乃是為傳福音，並不用智慧的言語，免得基督的十字架落了空。 哥林多前書 1:17

There has never been another prophet in Israel like Moses. The Lord spoke to him, face to face. Deuteronomy 34:10

以後以色列中再沒有興起先知像摩西的。他是耶和華面對面所認識的。 申命記 34:10

Israelites, how happy you are! There is no other nation like you. The Lord himself has saved you from Egypt and from all your enemies. He is like a strong wall in front of you. He is like a big, sharp knife against your enemies. He helps you. Your enemies will be very afraid of you. And you will destroy the special places where they pray to their gods.’ Deuteronomy 33:29

以色列啊，你是有福的！ 誰像你這蒙耶和華所拯救的百姓呢？ 他是你的盾牌，幫助你， 是你威榮的刀劍。 你的仇敵必投降你； 你必踏在他們的高處。 申命記 33:29

Remember this: I, and I alone, am God. Other gods are false. I kill and I give life. I have hurt you, but I can make you well again. Nobody can stop what I am doing.
Deuteronomy 32:39

你們如今要知道： 我，惟有我是上帝； 在我以外並無別神。 我使人死，我使人活； 我損傷，我也醫治， 並無人能從我手中救出來。
申命記 32:39
