1 Corinthians 2

1 When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with superiority of speech or wisdom, proclaiming to you the mystery of God.

And I, my brethren, when I came to you, not with grandeur of speech, nor with wisdom, did I evangelize to you the mystery of Aloha.

2 For I determined not to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

And I considered myself among you as not knowing any thing unless Jeshu Meshiha, and him also as crucified.

3 When I was with you, I was weak and afraid and I shook.

And I in much fear and trembling was with you.

4 My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

And my speech and my preaching were not with the persuasion of the words of wisdom, but with the demonstration of the Spirit and of power;

5 that your faith would not rest on human wisdom, but on the power of God.

that your faith might not be through the wisdom of men, but through the power of Aloha.

6 We speak wisdom, however, among those who are mature, but a wisdom not of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are passing away. (aiōn g165)

But we speak wisdom among the perfect: not the wisdom of this world, nor the authorities of this world, which are abolished; (aiōn g165)

7 But we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God determined in advance before the ages for our glory, (aiōn g165)

but we speak the wisdom of Aloha in the mystery which was hidden, and which Aloha predetermined from before the worlds unto our glorification; (aiōn g165)

8 which none of the rulers of this age has understood. For had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn g165)

which not one of the authorities of this world hath known; for if they had known it, the Lord of glory they would not have crucified. (aiōn g165)

9 But as it is written, No eye has seen, and no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined the things which God has prepared for those who love him.

But as it is written, The eye hath not seen, Nor the ear heard, Nor the heart of man hath risen (to), That which Aloha hath prepared for those who love him.

10 But to us God revealed it through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.

BUT unto us hath Aloha revealed, by his Spirit. For the Spirit all things searcheth, also the depths of Aloha.

11 For what person knows the things of a person except the spirit of the person that is in him? So also, no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.

For what man knoweth what is in man, save the spirit of a man which is in him? so also that which is in Aloha man knoweth not, but only the Spirit of Aloha.

12 But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that were freely given to us by God.

But we not the spirit of this world have received, but the Spirit who is from Aloha, that we might know that the gifts from Aloha are given unto us;

13 And we speak of these things, not with words taught by human wisdom, but with those taught by the Spirit, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.

which also we speak, not with the learning of words of wisdom of men, but with the learning of the Spirit; and with spirituals the spirituals we compare.

14 Now the natural person does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

For the man who is animal receiveth not spirituals, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot know them, because they by the Spirit are judged of;

15 But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is judged by no one.

but the spiritual judgeth of every thing, and he of man is not judged.

16 For, "Who has known the mind of the Lord? Who will instruct him?" But we have the mind of Christ.

For who hath known the mind of the Lord to teach him? But we have the mind of the Meshiha.
