1 Corinthians |
| 1弟兄們，至論神恩的事，我切願你們明瞭。 |
1 Now in regard to spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be unaware. |
| 2你們記得：當你們還是外教人的時候，好像着了迷，常被勾引到那些不會出聲的偶像前。 |
2 You know how, when you were pagans, you were constantly attracted and led away to mute idols. |
| 3為此，我告訴你們，沒有一個受天主聖神感動的會說：「耶穌是可詛咒的」；除非受聖神感動，也沒有一個能說：「耶穌是主」的。 |
3Therefore, I tell you that nobody speaking by the spirit of God says, "Jesus be accursed." And no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the holy Spirit. |
| 4神恩雖有區別，卻是同一的聖神所賜； |
4 There are different kinds of spiritual gifts but the same Spirit; |
| 5職分雖有區別，卻是同一的主所賜； |
5there are different forms of service but the same Lord; |
| 6功效雖有區別，卻是同一的天主，在一切人身上行一切事。 |
6there are different workings but the same God who produces all of them in everyone. |
| 7聖神顯示在每人身上雖不同，但全是為人的好處。 |
7To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some benefit. |
| 8這人從聖神蒙受了智慧的言語，另一人卻由同一聖神蒙受了知識的言語； |
8To one is given through the Spirit the expression of wisdom; to another the expression of knowledge according to the same Spirit; |
| 9有人在同一聖神內蒙受了信心，另有人在同一聖神內卻蒙受了治病的奇恩； |
9to another faith by the same Spirit; to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit; |
| 10有的能行奇蹟，有的能說先知話，有的能辨別神恩，有的能說各種語言，有的能解釋語言： |
10to another mighty deeds; to another prophecy; to another discernment of spirits; to another varieties of tongues; to another interpretation of tongues. |
| 11可是，這一切都是這惟一而同一的聖神所行的，隨他的心願，個別分配與人。 |
11But one and the same Spirit produces all of these, distributing them individually to each person as he wishes. |
| 12就如身體只是一個，卻有許多肢體；身體所有的肢體雖多，仍是一個身體：基督也是這樣。 |
12 As a body is one though it has many parts, and all the parts of the body, though many, are one body, so also Christ. |
| 13因為我們眾人，不論是猶太人，或是希臘人，或是為奴的，或是自主的，都因一個聖神受了洗，成為一個身體，又都為一個聖神所滋潤。 |
13For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free persons, and we were all given to drink of one Spirit. |
| 14原來身體不只有一個肢體，而是有許多。 |
14Now the body is not a single part, but many. |
| 15如果腳說：「我既然不是手，便不屬於身體」；它並不因此就不屬於身體。 |
15If a foot should say, "Because I am not a hand I do not belong to the body," it does not for this reason belong any less to the body. |
| 16如果耳說：「我既然不是眼，便不屬於身體」；它並不因此就不屬於身體。 |
16Or if an ear should say, "Because I am not an eye I do not belong to the body," it does not for this reason belong any less to the body. |
| 17若全身是眼，那裏有聽覺？若全身是聽覺，那裏有嗅覺？ |
17If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole body were hearing, where would the sense of smell be? |
| 18但如今天主卻按自己的意思，把肢體個個都安排在身體上了。 |
18But as it is, God placed the parts, each one of them, in the body as he intended. |
| 19假使全都是一個肢體，那裏還算身體呢？ |
19If they were all one part, where would the body be? |
| 20但如今肢體雖多，身體卻是一個。 |
20But as it is, there are many parts, yet one body. |
| 21眼不能對手說：「我不需要你」；同樣，頭也不能對腳說：「我不需要你們」。 |
21The eye cannot say to the hand, "I do not need you," nor again the head to the feet, "I do not need you." |
| 22不但如此，而且那些似乎是身體上比較軟弱的肢體，卻更為重要； |
22Indeed, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are all the more necessary, |
| 23並且那些我們以為是身體上比較欠尊貴的肢體，我們就越發加上尊貴的裝飾，我們不端雅的肢體，就越發顯得端雅。 |
23and those parts of the body that we consider less honorable we surround with greater honor, and our less presentable parts are treated with greater propriety, |
| 24至於我們端雅的肢體，就無須裝飾了。天主這樣配置了身體，對那缺欠的，賜以加倍的尊貴， |
24whereas our more presentable parts do not need this. But God has so constructed the body as to give greater honor to a part that is without it, |
| 25免得在身體內發生分裂，反使各肢體彼此互相關照。 |
25so that there may be no division in the body, but that the parts may have the same concern for one another. |
| 26若是一個肢體受苦，所有的肢體都一同受苦；若是一個肢體蒙受尊榮，所有的肢體都一同歡樂。 |
26If (one) part suffers, all the parts suffer with it; if one part is honored, all the parts share its joy. |
| 27你們便是基督的身體，各自都是肢體。 |
27 Now you are Christ's body, and individually parts of it. |
| 28天主在教會內所設立的：第一是宗徒，第二是先知，第三是教師，其次是行異能的，再次是有治病奇恩的、救助人的、治理人的、說各種語言的。 |
28Some people God has designated in the church to be, first, apostles; second, prophets; third, teachers; then, mighty deeds; then, gifts of healing, assistance, administration, and varieties of tongues. |
| 29眾人豈能都做宗徒？豈能都做先知？豈能都做教師？豈能都行異能？ |
29Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work mighty deeds? |
| 30豈能都有治病的奇恩？豈能都說各種語言？豈能都解釋語言？ |
30Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret? |
| 31你們該熱切追求那更大的恩賜。我現在把一條更高超的道路指給你們。 |
31Strive eagerly for the greatest spiritual gifts. But I shall show you a still more excellent way. |
