1 Corinthians 2

1 And I, when I came to you, brethren, came not in excellency of word, or wisdom, announcing to you the testimony of God.

And I myself And I myself having come to you, brothers, came not according to excellency of speech or wisdom proclaiming to you the (mystery *N(k)O*) of God.

2 For I did not judge [it well] to know anything among you save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

Nothing for I decided (of the *k*) anything to know among you only except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

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

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

4 and my word and my preaching, not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of [the] Spirit and of power;

And the message of mine and the preaching of mine [were] not in persuasive (of human *K*) of wisdom words but in demonstration of [the] Spirit and of power,

5 that your faith might not stand in men's wisdom, but in God's power.

so that the faith of you not may be in wisdom of men but in power of God.

6 But we speak wisdom among the perfect; but wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who come to nought. (aiōn g165)

Wisdom however we speak among the mature, wisdom however not age of this nor of the rulers age of this who are coming to naught; (aiōn g165)

7 But we speak God's wisdom in [a] mystery, that hidden [wisdom] which God had predetermined before the ages for our glory: (aiōn g165)

But we speak of God wisdom in a mystery which hidden, which foreordained God before the ages for glory of us, (aiōn g165)

8 which none of the princes of this age knew, (for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory; ) (aiōn g165)

which none of the rulers age of this has understood; if for they had understood [it], not then would the Lord of glory they crucified, (aiōn g165)

9 but according as it is written, Things which eye has not seen, and ear not heard, and which have not come into man's heart, which God has prepared for them that love him,

but even as it has been written: What eye not has seen and ear not has heard and into heart of man not has entered, (what *NK(O)*) has prepared God for those loving Him.

10 but God has revealed to us by [his] Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.

To us (and *NK(o)*) revealed [it] God through the Spirit (of him; *k*) The for Spirit all things searches, even the depths of God.

11 For who of men hath known the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? thus also the things of God knows no one except the Spirit of God.

Who for knows among men the [things] of the man only except the spirit of the man that [is] within him? So also the [things] of God no [one] (has known *N(k)O*) only except the Spirit of God.

12 But we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which [is] of God, that we may know the things which have been freely given to us of God:

We ourselves now not the spirit of the world have received but the Spirit who [is] from God, that we may know the [things] by God having been granted to us;

13 which also we speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, communicating spiritual [things] by spiritual [means].

which also we speak not in taught of human wisdom words but in [those] taught of [the] Spirit (Holy *K*) by spiritual [means] spiritual things communicating.

14 But [the] natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him; and he cannot know [them] because they are spiritually discerned;

[The] natural however man not accepts the [things] of the Spirit of God, foolishness for to him they are, and not he is able to understand [them], because spiritually they are discerned.

15 but the spiritual discerns all things, and he is discerned of no one.

He who [is] however spiritual judges (*N(k)O*) all things he himself however by no [one] is judged.

16 For who has known the mind of [the] Lord, who shall instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

Who for has known [the] mind of [the] Lord? Who will instruct Him? We ourselves however [the] mind of Christ have.
