< 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.
E eu, irmãos, quando fui ter comvosco, annunciando-vos o testemunho de Deus, não fui com sublimidade de palavras ou de sabedoria.
2 For I determined not to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
Porque não me propuz saber coisa alguma entre vós, senão a Jesus Christo, e este crucificado.
3 When I was with you, I was weak and afraid and I shook.
E eu estive comvosco em fraqueza, e em temor, e em grande tremor.
4 My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
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 your faith would not rest 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 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)
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 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)
Mas fallamos a sabedoria de Deus, occulta em mysterio, a qual Deus ordenou antes dos seculos para nossa gloria; (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)
A qual nenhum dos principes d'este mundo conheceu; porque, se a conhecessem, nunca crucificariam ao Senhor da gloria. (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.
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 to us God revealed it through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
Porém Deus nol-as revelou pelo seu Espirito; porque o Espirito penetra todas as coisas, ainda as profundezas de Deus.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is judged by no one.
Porém o espiritual discerne bem todas as coisas, mas elle de ninguem é discernido.
16 For, "Who has known the mind of the Lord? Who will instruct him?" But we have the mind of Christ.
Porque, quem conheceu a mente do Senhor, para que possa instruil-o? Mas nós temos a mente de Christo.
