1 Corinthians 2

1 When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God.

καγω ελθων προς υμας αδελφοι ηλθον ου καθ υπεροχην λογου η σοφιας καταγγελλων υμιν το μαρτυριον του θεου

2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

ου γαρ εκρινα του ειδεναι τι εν υμιν ει μη ιησουν χριστον και τουτον εσταυρωμενον

3 I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling.

και εγω εν ασθενεια και εν φοβω και εν τρομω πολλω εγενομην προς υμας

4 My message and my preaching were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power,

και ο λογος μου και το κηρυγμα μου ουκ εν πειθοις ανθρωπινης σοφιας λογοις αλλ εν αποδειξει πνευματος και δυναμεως

5 so that your faith would not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power.

ινα η πιστις υμων μη η εν σοφια ανθρωπων αλλ εν δυναμει θεου

6 Among the mature, however, we speak a message of wisdom—but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. (aiōn g165)

σοφιαν δε λαλουμεν εν τοις τελειοις σοφιαν δε ου του αιωνος τουτου ουδε των αρχοντων του αιωνος τουτου των καταργουμενων (aiōn g165)

7 No, we speak of the mysterious and hidden wisdom of God, which He destined for our glory before time began. (aiōn g165)

αλλα λαλουμεν σοφιαν θεου εν μυστηριω την αποκεκρυμμενην ην προωρισεν ο θεος προ των αιωνων εις δοξαν ημων (aiōn g165)

8 None of the rulers of this age understood it. For if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn g165)

ην ουδεις των αρχοντων του αιωνος τουτου εγνωκεν ει γαρ εγνωσαν ουκ αν τον κυριον της δοξης εσταυρωσαν (aiōn g165)

9 Rather, as it is written: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart has imagined, what God has prepared for those who love Him.”

αλλα καθως γεγραπται α οφθαλμος ουκ ειδεν και ους ουκ ηκουσεν και επι καρδιαν ανθρωπου ουκ ανεβη α ητοιμασεν ο θεος τοις αγαπωσιν αυτον

10 But God has revealed it to us by the Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.

ημιν δε ο θεος απεκαλυψεν δια του πνευματος αυτου το γαρ πνευμα παντα ερευνα και τα βαθη του θεου

11 For who among men knows the thoughts of man except his own spirit within him? So too, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.

τις γαρ οιδεν ανθρωπων τα του ανθρωπου ει μη το πνευμα του ανθρωπου το εν αυτω ουτως και τα του θεου ουδεις οιδεν ει μη το πνευμα του θεου

12 We have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us.

ημεις δε ου το πνευμα του κοσμου ελαβομεν αλλα το πνευμα το εκ του θεου ινα ειδωμεν τα υπο του θεου χαρισθεντα ημιν

13 And this is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.

α και λαλουμεν ουκ εν διδακτοις ανθρωπινης σοφιας λογοις αλλ εν διδακτοις πνευματος αγιου πνευματικοις πνευματικα συγκρινοντες

14 The natural man does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. For they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

ψυχικος δε ανθρωπος ου δεχεται τα του πνευματος του θεου μωρια γαρ αυτω εστιν και ου δυναται γνωναι οτι πνευματικως ανακρινεται

15 The spiritual man judges all things, but he himself is not subject to anyone’s judgment.

ο δε πνευματικος ανακρινει μεν παντα αυτος δε υπ ουδενος ανακρινεται

16 “For who has known the mind of the Lord, so as to instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.

τις γαρ εγνω νουν κυριου ος συμβιβασει αυτον ημεις δε νουν χριστου εχομεν
