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,

καγω ελθων προς υμας αδελφοι ηλθον ου καθ υπεροχην λογου η σοφιας καταγγελλων υμιν το μαρτυριον του θεου

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

ου γαρ εκρινα του ειδεναι τι εν υμιν ει μη ιησουν χριστον και τουτον εσταυρωμενον

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

και εγω εν ασθενεια και εν φοβω και εν τρομω πολλω εγενομην προς υμας

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

και ο λογος μου και το κηρυγμα μου ουκ εν πειθοις ανθρωπινης σοφιας λογοις αλλ εν αποδειξει πνευματος και δυναμεως

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

ινα η πιστις υμων μη η εν σοφια ανθρωπων αλλ εν δυναμει θεου

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)

σοφιαν δε λαλουμεν εν τοις τελειοις σοφιαν δε ου του αιωνος τουτου ουδε των αρχοντων του αιωνος τουτου των καταργουμενων (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)

αλλα λαλουμεν σοφιαν θεου εν μυστηριω την αποκεκρυμμενην ην προωρισεν ο θεος προ των αιωνων εις δοξαν ημων (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)

ην ουδεις των αρχοντων του αιωνος τουτου εγνωκεν ει γαρ εγνωσαν ουκ αν τον κυριον της δοξης εσταυρωσαν (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”;

αλλα καθως γεγραπται α οφθαλμος ουκ ειδεν και ους ουκ ηκουσεν και επι καρδιαν ανθρωπου ουκ ανεβη α ητοιμασεν ο θεος τοις αγαπωσιν αυτον

10 but God revealed [them] to us through His Spirit, for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God,

ημιν δε ο θεος απεκαλυψεν δια του πνευματος αυτου το γαρ πνευμα παντα ερευνα και τα βαθη του θεου

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.

τις γαρ οιδεν ανθρωπων τα του ανθρωπου ει μη το πνευμα του ανθρωπου το εν αυτω ουτως και τα του θεου ουδεις οιδεν ει μη το πνευμα του θεου

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,

ημεις δε ου το πνευμα του κοσμου ελαβομεν αλλα το πνευμα το εκ του θεου ινα ειδωμεν τα υπο του θεου χαρισθεντα ημιν

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,

α και λαλουμεν ουκ εν διδακτοις ανθρωπινης σοφιας λογοις αλλ εν διδακτοις πνευματος αγιου πνευματικοις πνευματικα συγκρινοντες

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;

ψυχικος δε ανθρωπος ου δεχεται τα του πνευματος του θεου μωρια γαρ αυτω εστιν και ου δυναται γνωναι οτι πνευματικως ανακρινεται

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

ο δε πνευματικος ανακρινει μεν παντα αυτος δε υπ ουδενος ανακρινεται

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

τις γαρ εγνω νουν κυριου ος συμβιβασει αυτον ημεις δε νουν χριστου εχομεν
