1 Korinterne 2

1 Og jeg, Brødre! da jeg kom til eder, kom jeg ikke og forkyndte eder Guds Vidnesbyrd med Stormægtighed i Tale eller i Visdom;

So when I came to you, brothers, I did not come proclaiming God's testimony to you with a ‘superior’ speech or wisdom.

2 thi jeg agtede ikke at vide noget iblandt eder uden Jesus Kristus og ham korsfæstet;

For I determined to ‘know’ nothing while among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

3 og jeg færdedes hos eder i Svaghed og i Frygt og megen Bæven,

Also, I was with you in weakness, in fear, and with much trembling.

4 og min Tale og min Prædiken var ikke med Visdoms overtalende Ord, men med Aands og Krafts Bevisning,

Yes, my message and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

5 for at eders Tro ikke skulde bero paa Menneskers Visdom, men paa Guds Kraft.

so that your faith not be in men's wisdom, but in God's power.

6 Dog, Visdom tale vi iblandt de fuldkomne, men en Visdom, der ikke stammer fra denne Verden, ikke heller fra denne Verdens Herskere, som blive til intet; (aiōn g165)

However, we do speak wisdom among the mature, albeit not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are being set aside; (aiōn g165)

7 men vi tale Visdom fra Gud, den hemmelige, den, som var skjult, som Gud før Verdens Begyndelse forudbestemte til vor Herlighed, (aiōn g165)

but we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom that God ordained before the ages for our glory, (aiōn g165)

8 hvilken ingen af denne Verdens Herskere har erkendt; thi havde de erkendt den, havde de ikke korsfæstet Herlighedens Herre; (aiōn g165)

that none of the rulers of this age have understood (because if they had understood, they would not have crucified the Lord of the glory). (aiōn g165)

9 men, som der er skrevet: „Hvad intet Øje har set, og intet Øre har hørt, og ikke er opkommet i noget Menneskes Hjerte, hvad Gud har beredt dem, som elske ham.‟

However, as it is written: “Things no eye has seen and no ear has heard, and no heart of man has imagined, such things has God prepared for those who love Him.”

10 Men os aabenbarede Gud det ved Aanden; thi Aanden ransager alle Ting, ogsaa Guds Dybder.

But to us God has revealed them by His Spirit; because the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

11 Thi hvilket Menneske ved, hvad der er i Mennesket, uden Menneskets Aand, som er i ham? Saaledes har heller ingen erkendt, hvad der er i Gud, uden Guds Aand.

Now who among men knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man that is in him? So also no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.

12 Men vi have ikke faaet Verdens Aand, men Aanden fra Gud, for at vi kunne vide, hvad der er os skænket af Gud;

We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, so that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God;

13 og dette tale vi ogsaa, ikke med Ord, lærte af menneskelig Visdom, men med Ord, lærte af Aanden, idet vi tolke aandelige Ting med aandelige Ord.

which things we also expound, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Holy Spirit, interpreting spiritual things to spiritual people.

14 Men det sjælelige Menneske tager ikke imod de Ting, som høre Guds Aand til; thi de ere ham en Daarskab, og han kan ikke erkende dem, thi de bedømmes aandeligt.

Now a soulish man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; indeed, he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

15 Men den aandelige bedømmer alle Ting, selv derimod bedømmes han af ingen.

But he who is spiritual evaluates everything, while not being himself subject to anyone's judgment.

16 Thi hvem har kendt Herrens Sind, saa han skulde kunne undervise ham? Men vi have Kristi Sind.

For “who has known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
