1 Corinthians 1:12

Chinese Bible TNV 2012 (Traditional) (客語聖經 – 現代臺灣客語譯本，新舊約全書客語聖經 – 漢字版)

𠊎个意思係，你等一儕講一樣。有人講「𠊎屬 保羅 」；有人講「𠊎屬 亞波羅 」；有人講「𠊎屬 彼得 」；有人講「𠊎屬基督」。

这是什么意思？

In this verse from the Bible, Paul is talking to the people in Corinth and pointing out that they are dividing themselves into different groups based on who taught them about Jesus—Paul, Apollos, Cephas (Peter), or Christ directly. He wants to remind them that such divisions aren't what Jesus intended.

儿童解释

Imagine if at school everyone only played with kids who were in their same reading group. Paul is saying it's silly to split up like this because we're all part of the same big family, and Jesus doesn’t want us fighting over who taught us best.

历史背景

The letter was written by Apostle Paul around 53-54 AD to the church in Corinth, a city known for its diverse population and various religious beliefs. The Corinthians were struggling with divisions within their community.

今日应用

Today, imagine if a group of friends split up because they prefer different leaders or teachers at work. Paul would remind them that true unity comes from following Jesus, not just the person who taught them about Him.
