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.
et ego cum venissem ad vos fratres veni non per sublimitatem sermonis aut sapientiae adnuntians vobis testimonium Christi
2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
non enim iudicavi scire me aliquid inter vos nisi Iesum Christum et hunc crucifixum
3 I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling.
et ego in infirmitate et timore et tremore multo fui apud vos
4 My message and my preaching were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power,
et sermo meus et praedicatio mea non in persuasibilibus sapientiae verbis sed in ostensione Spiritus et virtutis
5 so that your faith would not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power.
ut fides vestra non sit in sapientia hominum sed in virtute Dei
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)
sapientiam autem loquimur inter perfectos sapientiam vero non huius saeculi neque principum huius saeculi qui destruuntur (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)
sed loquimur Dei sapientiam in mysterio quae abscondita est quam praedestinavit Deus ante saecula in gloriam nostram (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)
quam nemo principum huius saeculi cognovit si enim cognovissent numquam Dominum gloriae crucifixissent (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.”
sed sicut scriptum est quod oculus non vidit nec auris audivit nec in cor hominis ascendit quae praeparavit Deus his qui diligunt illum
10 But God has revealed it to us by the Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
nobis autem revelavit Deus per Spiritum suum Spiritus enim omnia scrutatur etiam profunda Dei
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.
quis enim scit hominum quae sint hominis nisi spiritus hominis qui in ipso est ita et quae Dei sunt nemo cognovit nisi Spiritus Dei
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.
nos autem non spiritum mundi accepimus sed Spiritum qui ex Deo est ut sciamus quae a Deo donata sunt nobis
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.
quae et loquimur non in doctis humanae sapientiae verbis sed in doctrina Spiritus spiritalibus spiritalia conparantes
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.
animalis autem homo non percipit ea quae sunt Spiritus Dei stultitia est enim illi et non potest intellegere quia spiritaliter examinatur
15 The spiritual man judges all things, but he himself is not subject to anyone’s judgment.
spiritalis autem iudicat omnia et ipse a nemine iudicatur
16 “For who has known the mind of the Lord, so as to instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
quis enim cognovit sensum Domini qui instruat eum nos autem sensum Christi habemus
