1 Corinthians 2
1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not in loftiness of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of Christ.
When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with superiority of speech or wisdom, proclaiming to you the mystery of God.
2 For I judged not myself to know anything among you, but Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
For I determined not to know anything among you, except Yeshua Meshikha, and him crucified.
3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
When I was with you, I was weak and afraid and I shook.
4 And my speech and my preaching was not in the persuasive words of human wisdom, but in shewing of the Spirit and power;
My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Rukha and of power,
5 That your faith might not stand on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.
that your faith would not rest on human wisdom, but on the power of God.
6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among the perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, neither of the princes of this world that come to nought; (aiōn g165)
We speak wisdom, however, among those who are mature, but a wisdom not of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are passing away. (aiōn g165)
7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, a wisdom which is hidden, which God ordained before the world, unto our glory: (aiōn g165)
But we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God determined in advance before the ages for our glory, (aiōn g165)
8 Which none of the princes of this world knew; for if they had known it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn g165)
which none of the rulers of this age has understood. For had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn g165)
9 But, as it is written: That eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that love him.
No eye has seen, and no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined the things which God has prepared for those who love him.
10 But to us God hath revealed them, by this Spirit. For the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
But to us God revealed it through the Rukha. For the Rukha searches all things, even the deep things of God.
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, but the spirit of a man that is in him? So the things also that are of God no man knoweth, but the Spirit of God.
For what person knows the things of a person except the spirit of the person that is in him? So also, no one knows the things of God except the Rukha of God.
12 Now we have received not the spirit of this world, but the Spirit that is of God; that we may know the things that are given us from God.
But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the Rukha which is from God, that we might know the things that were freely given to us by God.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the learned words of human wisdom; but in the doctrine of the Spirit, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
And we speak of these things, not with words taught by human wisdom, but with those taught by the Rukha, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.
14 But the sensual man perceiveth not these things that are of the Spirit of God; for it is foolishness to him, and he cannot understand, because it is spiritually examined.
Now the natural person does not receive the things of the Rukha of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15 But the spiritual man judgeth all things; and he himself is judged of no man.
But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is judged by no one.
16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that we may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
For, "Who has known the mind of the Lord? Who will instruct him?" But we have the mind of Meshikha.
