與他第一次來到格林多時的經歷相呼應，保祿現在解釋了為什麼當時他無法與他們分享成熟門徒所領受的奧秘智慧。

那時候，他們還沒成長。

遺憾的是，過了這麼久，他們仍然不成熟，因為他們不去超越老師的教導，他們感受不到天主的奧秘（即超越言語，抵達天主的心意，領受祂的啟示）。

相反，他們擁有並享受那些老師的教義，並以此為傲。

因此，保祿試圖讓格林多人明白，在他們內動工的不是老師的講解，而是天主的恩典。

天主與每個信徒之間都有直接的溝通。

這也意味著，在祂面前有一片寧靜，有個人抉擇的空間，有接受耶穌十字架奧秘的空間。

沒有任何老師能夠，也不允許任何老師遮蔽我們，使我們無法沐浴在天主的光中。

教師或許是培訓者，但說到比賽，需要上場比賽的人還是我們。

In parallel to the report of what he did when he came to Corinth for the first time, now Paul explains why at that time he could not share with them the mysterious wisdom of the mature disciples.

They we not ready yet.

Unfortunately, after so much time, they are still immature, because they do not go beyond what a teacher says, they do not feel the mystery of God (by going beyond words to reach God’s mind, God’s inspiration). Instead, they possess, they enjoy the doctrines of those teachers and take pride in them.

Therefore, Paul tries to let the Corinthians perceive that who works in them is not a teacher with his explanations, but the grace of God. There is a direct communication between God and each believer.

This also means that there is a solitude in front of him, the space of a personal decision, the acceptance of the mystery of the cross of Jesus.

No teacher can, no teacher is allowed to shadow us from the power of God’s light.

Teachers perhaps are trainers, but when it comes to the game, we are those who need to play.
