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;

And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech, or of wisdom, declaring to you the testimony of God.

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

For I determined not to know anything while with you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

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

And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling;

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

and my speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit, and of power;

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

that your faith might not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.

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)

But we do speak wisdom among the perfect; not, however, the wisdom of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nought; (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, which God determined on before the world was, 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)

which none of the rulers of this world comprehended; for had they comprehended it, they would not have crucified the Lord of 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.‟

but, as it is written: “The things which eye hath not seen, and ear hath not heard, and which have not entered into the heart of man, the great things which God hath prepared for those that love him.”

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

For God hath revealed them to us by his Spirit; for the Spirit searcheth all things, even the depths 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.

For who among men knoweth the things of a man, but the spirit of the man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no one but 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;

But we did not receive the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that have been given to us by the grace of 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 speak, not in words taught by man's wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, connecting what is spiritual l with what is spiritual.

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.

But the unspiritual man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot know them; because they are spiritually discerned.

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

But he that is spiritual judgeth of all things, yet he himself is judged by no one.

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

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