蓋基督遣我、非以施洗禮、乃以傳福音、不以智言、免基督之十字架歸於虛、

基督差遣我，原不是为施洗，乃是为传福音，并不用智慧的言语，免得基督的十字架落了空。

因为基督差遣我不是为施洗，而是为传福音；并不是用智慧的言论，免得基督的十字架落了空。

基督差遣我，不是要我去施洗，而是去传福音；不是靠着智慧的言论去传，免得基督的十字架失去了效力。

要知道，基督差派我，不是为了施洗，而是为了传福音——并不用智慧的话语，免得基督的十字架落了空。

蓋基督遣我非以施洗、乃宣福音、非在言語之智、恐虛基督之十架焉、○

蓋基督遣我、非以施洗、乃傳福音、吾不憑智言者、恐基督釘十字架之道、歸於無有、

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。

For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel— not with wisdom and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.

兄弟乎、我昔就爾傳道、為天主作證、未用高言大智、

我儕言此、非以人智所教之言、乃以聖神所教之言、以神而解神之事、

我儕素以我主耶穌基督之大力、及其降臨之事告爾、非從巧飾虛誕、乃目擊其大榮、

我雖拙於言語、不拙於知識、我凡事顯明於爾中、

實則耶穌不親施洗、惟門徒施之、

即我儕按血氣而行、不按血氣而戰、蓋我儕之戰具、非屬血氣、乃賴天主、有力能破諸堅壘、

遂命因主名有原文抄本作因主耶穌基督名施之洗禮、眾請彼得居數日、

今我遣爾往就斯民、並異邦人、必拯爾脫其害、我遣爾為明其目、俾棄暗就光、離撒但之權、歸於天主、使其因信我而罪得赦、於諸聖徒中獲業、

且我講論宣傳、非以人智之婉言而辯、乃以聖神之大能而證、使爾之信、非由人之智、乃由天主之能、

棄隱慝可恥之事、不行詭詐、不混天主之道、惟表彰真理、使人之心、在天主前、以我為是、

有人言、我書嚴厲、及至晤會時、身弱言陋、
