对今日诗句的想法
当同时代的传道人四处炫耀自己的能力时，保罗却拒绝加入吹嘘争竞的行列来证明他是主耶稣最出色的门徒。虽然保罗所接受过的宗教培训以及犹太血统能够胜过自己的对手，但他却更愿意承认自己的软弱，因为神已经战胜了保罗自身的局限。我们今天当小心谨慎地审查、确定某人履历上所体现福音工作的价值，应当看重那些神的恩典在他们心中得胜的人们。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
While other preachers in Paul's day were parading around their credentials, Paul refused to get into a bragging contest to prove he was the most impressive of Jesus' disciples. Even though he had the religious education and Jewish pedigree to silence his rivals, he preferred to acknowledge the areas of his weakness where God had triumphed over his own limitations. Let's be careful today about examining and determining the ministry-worth of someone based on his or her resume. Instead, let's look for people in whom God's grace has triumphed.
