1 Corinthians 2

1 And I, having come to you, brothers, came—not in superiority of discourse or wisdom—declaring to you the testimony of God,

Og jeg, Brødre! da jeg kom til eder, kom jeg ikke og forkyndte eder Guds Vidnesbyrd med Stormægtighed i Tale eller i Visdom;

2 for I decided not to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified;

thi jeg agtede ikke at vide noget iblandt eder uden Jesus Kristus og ham korsfæstet;

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

og jeg færdedes hos eder i Svaghed og i Frygt og megen Bæven,

4 and my word and my preaching was not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power—

og min Tale og min Prædiken var ikke med Visdoms overtalende Ord, men med Aands og Krafts Bevisning,

5 that your faith may not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

for at eders Tro ikke skulde bero paa Menneskers Visdom, men paa Guds Kraft.

6 And wisdom we speak among the perfect, and wisdom not of this age, nor of the rulers of this age—of those becoming useless, (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 but we speak the hidden wisdom of God in a secret, that God foreordained before the ages to our glory, (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 which no one of the rulers of this age knew, for if they had known, 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 according as it has been written: “What eye did not see, and ear did not hear, and on the heart of man did not come up, what God prepared for those loving 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 revealed [them] to us through His Spirit, for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God,

Men os aabenbarede Gud det ved Aanden; thi Aanden ransager alle Ting, ogsaa Guds Dybder.

11 for who of men has known the things of the man, except the spirit of the man that [is] in him? So also the things of God no one has known, 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 And we did not receive the spirit of the world, but the Spirit that [is] of God, that we may know the things conferred by God on 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 which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Holy Spirit, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things,

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 and the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he is not able to know [them], because they are discerned spiritually;

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 and he who is spiritual, indeed discerns all things, and he himself is discerned by no one;

Men den aandelige bedømmer alle Ting, selv derimod bedømmes han af ingen.

16 for who knew the mind of the LORD that he will instruct Him? And we have the mind of Christ.

Thi hvem har kendt Herrens Sind, saa han skulde kunne undervise ham? Men vi have Kristi Sind.
