1 Corinthians 2
1 Brothers and sisters, when I came to you I didn't try to impress you with wonderful words or great wisdom when I told you what God had to say to you.
Og jeg, Brødre! da jeg kom til eder, kom jeg ikke og forkyndte eder Guds Vidnesbyrd med Stormægtighed i Tale eller i Visdom;
2 I decided that while I was with you I didn't want to concentrate on anything except Jesus Christ, and that he was crucified.
thi jeg agtede ikke at vide noget iblandt eder uden Jesus Kristus og ham korsfæstet;
3 I came to you in weakness, fearful and trembling.
og jeg færdedes hos eder i Svaghed og i Frygt og megen Bæven,
4 I didn't speak to you with persuasive words of wisdom to convince you. I just explained it all to you through the evidence and power of the Spirit.
og min Tale og min Prædiken var ikke med Visdoms overtalende Ord, men med Aands og Krafts Bevisning,
5 That way your trust in God wouldn't rely on human wisdom but on the power of God.
for at eders Tro ikke skulde bero paa Menneskers Visdom, men paa Guds Kraft.
6 However, we do use words of wisdom when we speak to those who are spiritually mature, but this isn't wisdom that comes from this world, or from the rulers of this world who soon fade from the scene. (aiōn g165)
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)
7 On the contrary we explain God's wisdom in terms of a revealed mystery that was previously hidden which God planned for our glory before the creation of the worlds. (aiōn g165)
men vi tale Visdom fra Gud, den hemmelige, den, som var skjult, som Gud før Verdens Begyndelse forudbestemte til vor Herlighed, (aiōn g165)
8 None of the rulers of this world understood anything about this—for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn g165)
hvilken ingen af denne Verdens Herskere har erkendt; thi havde de erkendt den, havde de ikke korsfæstet Herlighedens Herre; (aiōn g165)
9 But as Scripture says, “No one has ever seen, and no one has ever heard, and no one has ever imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.”
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.”
10 But God has revealed this to us through the Spirit, because the Spirit delves into the depths of God.
Men os aabenbarede Gud det ved Aanden; thi Aanden ransager alle Ting, ogsaa Guds Dybder.
11 Who knows anyone's thoughts except the actual person? In the same way no one knows God's thoughts except the Spirit of God.
Thi hvilket Menneske ved, hvad der er i Mennesket, uden Menneskets Aand, som er i ham? Saaledes har heller ingen erkendt, hvad der er i Gud, uden Guds Aand.
12 For we have received the Spirit from God, not the spirit of this world, so that we could understand what God so generously gave us.
Men vi have ikke faaet Verdens Aand, men Aanden fra Gud, for at vi kunne vide, hvad der er os skænket af Gud;
13 That's what we speak about—not using words taught by human wisdom, but what the Spirit teaches. We explain what is spiritual using spiritual terms.
og dette tale vi ogsaa, ikke med Ord, lærte af menneskelig Visdom, men med Ord, lærte af Aanden, idet vi tolke aandelige Ting med aandelige Ord.
14 Of course people who are not spiritual don't accept what comes from God's Spirit. It's just foolish nonsense to them, and they can't understand it, because what is spiritual has to be properly examined.
Men det sjælelige Menneske tager ikke imod de Ting, som høre Guds Aand til; thi de ere ham en Daarskab, og han kan ikke erkende dem, thi de bedømmes aandeligt.
15 People who are spiritual investigate everything, but are not placed under investigation themselves.
Men den aandelige bedømmer alle Ting, selv derimod bedømmes han af ingen.
16 For “who understands the Lord's mind, and would think to instruct him?” But we do have Christ's mind!
Thi hvem har kendt Herrens Sind, saa han skulde kunne undervise ham? Men vi have Kristi Sind.
