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.
E eu, irmãos, quando fui ter comvosco, annunciando-vos o testemunho de Deus, não fui com sublimidade de palavras ou de sabedoria.
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.
Porque não me propuz saber coisa alguma entre vós, senão a Jesus Christo, e este crucificado.
3 I came to you in weakness, fearful and trembling.
E eu estive comvosco em fraqueza, e em temor, e em grande tremor.
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.
A minha palavra, e a minha prégação, não consistiu em palavras persuasivas de sabedoria humana, mas em demonstração de Espirito e de poder
5 That way your trust in God wouldn't rely on human wisdom but on the power of God.
Para que a vossa fé não fosse em sabedoria dos homens, mas no poder de Deus.
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)
Todavia fallamos sabedoria entre os perfeitos; não porém a sabedoria d'este mundo, nem dos principes d'este mundo, que se aniquilam; (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)
Mas fallamos a sabedoria de Deus, occulta em mysterio, a qual Deus ordenou antes dos seculos para nossa gloria; (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)
A qual nenhum dos principes d'este mundo conheceu; porque, se a conhecessem, nunca crucificariam ao Senhor da gloria. (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.”
Mas, como está escripto: As coisas que o olho não viu, e o ouvido não ouviu, e não subiram ao coração do homem, são as que Deus preparou para os que o amam
10 But God has revealed this to us through the Spirit, because the Spirit delves into the depths of God.
Porém Deus nol-as revelou pelo seu Espirito; porque o Espirito penetra todas as coisas, ainda as profundezas de Deus.
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.
Porque, qual dos homens sabe as coisas do homem, senão o espirito do homem, que n'elle está? assim tambem ninguem sabe as coisas de Deus, senão o Espirito de Deus.
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.
Porém nós não recebemos o espirito do mundo, mas o Espirito que provém de Deus; para que saibamos as coisas que nos são dadas por Deus
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.
As quaes tambem fallamos, não com palavras que a sabedoria humana ensina, mas com as que o Espirito Sancto ensina, comparando as coisas espirituaes com as espirituaes,
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.
Mas o homem natural não comprehende as coisas do Espirito de Deus, porque lhe parecem loucura; e não pode entendel-as, porquanto se discernem espiritualmente.
15 People who are spiritual investigate everything, but are not placed under investigation themselves.
Porém o espiritual discerne bem todas as coisas, mas elle de ninguem é discernido.
16 For “who understands the Lord's mind, and would think to instruct him?” But we do have Christ's mind!
Porque, quem conheceu a mente do Senhor, para que possa instruil-o? Mas nós temos a mente de Christo.
