信息與方法 Message and method Message 信息:十字架的信息乃是神的大能 The message of the cross is the power of God 因為十字架的道理(信息),在那滅亡的人為愚拙;在我們得救的人,卻為神的大能。(林前 1:18) 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.(1 Cor. 1:18) Warren Wang, 4.2.2010
Method 方法:十字架的方法乃是神的智慧 The method of the cross is the wisdom of God 世人憑自己的智慧,既不認識神,神就樂意用人所當作愚拙的道理,拯救那些信的人;這就是神的智慧了。(林前 1:21) For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. (1 Cor. 1:21)
基督總為神的能力與智慧 Christ is the power and wisdom of God 猶太人是要神蹟,希利尼人是求智慧,我們卻是傳釘十字架的基督,在猶太人為絆腳石,在外邦人為愚拙;但在那蒙召的,無論是猶太人、希利尼人,基督總為神的能力,神的智慧。Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. (林前 1 Cor. 1:22-24)
