1 Korinterne 2

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

AND I, when I came to you, brethren, came not with superior excellence of discourse or wisdom, preaching unto you the gospel of God.

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

For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ and him crucified.

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

And in weakness, and in fear, and in much timidity, was I among you.

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

And my conversation and my preaching was not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but with demonstration of the Spirit, and of power:

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

that your faith might not stand 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 speak wisdom among the perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are destroying themselves: (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 the wisdom of God, which had been hid in mystery, which God predestined before the worlds were, 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 have known: for if they had known 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 that have not entered into the heart of man, these hath God prepared for those who love him.”

10 Men os åbenbarede Gud det ved Ånden; thi Ånden ransager alle Ting, også Guds Dybder.

But to us hath God revealed them by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth out all things, even the depths of God.

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

For who among men knoweth the things of man, save the spirit of man which is in him? so also the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

12 Men vi have ikke fået Verdens Ånd, men Ånden fra Gud, for at vi kunne vide, hvad der er os skænket af Gud;

Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is from God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

13 og dette tale vi også, ikke med Ord, lærte af menneskelig Visdom, men med Ord, lærte af Ånden, idet vi tolke åndelige Ting med åndelige Ord.

Which things also we speak, not in discourses framed by human wisdom, but taught by the Spirit of God; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

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

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

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

But the spiritual man discerneth indeed all things, though himself is discernible by no man.

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

For who hath known the mind of the Lord? who will instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
