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,
Et ego, cum venissem ad vos, fratres, veni non in sublimitate sermonis, aut sapientiæ, annuncians vobis testimonium Christi.
2 for I decided not to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified;
Non enim iudicavi me scire aliquid inter vos, nisi Iesum Christum, et hunc crucifixum.
3 and I, in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling, was with you;
Et ego in infirmitate, et timore, et tremore multo fui apud vos:
4 and my word and my preaching was not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power—
et sermo meus, et prædicatio mea non in persuasibilibus humanæ sapientiæ verbis, sed in ostensione Spiritus, et virtutis:
5 that your faith may not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
ut fides vestra non sit in sapientia hominum, sed in virtute Dei.
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)
Sapientiam autem loquimur inter perfectos: sapientiam vero non huius sæculi, neque principum huius sæculi, qui destruuntur: (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)
sed loquimur Dei sapientiam in mysterio, quæ abscondita est, quam prædestinavit Deus ante sæcula in gloriam nostram, (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)
quam nemo principum huius sæculi cognovit: si enim cognovissent, numquam Dominum gloriæ crucifixissent. (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”;
Sed sicut scriptum est: Quod oculus non vidit, nec auris audivit, nec in cor hominis ascendit, quæ præparavit Deus iis, qui diligunt illum:
10 but God revealed [them] to us through His Spirit, for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God,
nobis autem revelavit Deus per Spiritum suum: Spiritus enim omnia scrutatur, etiam profunda Dei.
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.
Quis enim hominum scit quæ sunt hominis, nisi spiritus hominis, qui in ipso est? ita et quæ Dei sunt, nemo cognovit, nisi Spiritus Dei.
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,
Nos autem non spiritum huius mundi accepimus, sed Spiritum, qui ex Deo est, ut sciamus quæ a Deo donata sunt nobis:
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,
quæ et loquimur non in doctis humanæ sapientiæ verbis, sed in doctrina Spiritus, spiritualibus spiritualia comparantes.
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;
Animalis autem homo non percipit ea, quæ sunt Spiritus Dei: stultitia enim est illi, et non potest intelligere: quia spiritualiter examinatur.
15 and he who is spiritual, indeed discerns all things, and he himself is discerned by no one;
Spiritualis autem iudicat omnia: et ipse a nemine iudicatur.
16 for who knew the mind of the LORD that he will instruct Him? And we have the mind of Christ.
Quis enim cognovit sensum Domini, qui instruat eum? Nos autem sensum Christi habemus.
