1 Corinthians 2
1 For my own part, friends, when I came to you, it was with no display of eloquence or philosophy that I came to tell the hidden purpose of God;
Og jeg, Brødre! da jeg kom til eder, kom jeg ikke og forkyndte eder Gud Vidnesbyrd med Stormægtighed i Tale eller i Visdom;
2 for I had determined that, while with you, I would forget everything except Jesus Christ – and him crucified!
thi jeg agtede ikke at vide noget iblandt eder uden Jesus Kristus og ham korsfæstet;
3 Indeed, when I came among you, I was weak, and full of fears, and in great anxiety.
og jeg færdedes hos eder i Svaghed og i Frygt og megen Bæven,
4 My message and my proclamation were not delivered in the persuasive language of philosophy, but were accompanied by the manifestation of spiritual power,
og min Tale og min Prædiken var ikke med Visdoms overtalende Ord, men med Ånds og Krafts Bevisning,
5 so that your faith should be based, not on the human wisdom, but on the power of God.
for at eders Tro ikke skulde bero på Menneskers Visdom, men på Guds Kraft.
6 Yet there is a philosophy that we teach to those whose faith is matured, but it is not the philosophy of today, or of the leaders of today – whose downfall is at hand. (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 No, it is a divine philosophy that we teach, one concerned with the hidden purpose of God – that long hidden philosophy which God, before time began, destined for 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 This philosophy is clearly not known to any of the leaders of today, since, had they known it, they would never have crucified our glorious Lord! (aiōn g165)
hvilken ingen af denne Verdens Herskere har erkendt; thi; havde de erkendt den, havde de ikke korsfæstet Herlighedens Herre; (aiōn g165)
9 It is what scripture speaks of as – ‘What eye never saw, nor ear ever heard, what never entered people’s minds – all these things God has prepared for those who love 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 Yet to us God revealed it through his Spirit; for the Spirit fathoms all things, even the inmost depths of God’s being.
Men os åbenbarede Gud det ved Ånden; thi Ånden ransager alle Ting, også Guds Dybder.
11 For what person is there who knows what a person is, except the person’s own spirit within them? So, also, no one comprehends what God is, except the Spirit of God.
Thi hvilket Menneske ved, hvad der er i Mennesket, uden Menneskets Ånd, som er i ham? Således har heller ingen erkendt, hvad der er i Gud, uden Guds Ånd.
12 And as for us, it is not the spirit of the world that we have received, but the Spirit that comes from God, so that we may realize the blessings given to us by him.
Men vi have ikke fået Verdens Ånd, men Ånden fra Gud, for at vi kunne vide, hvad der er os skænket af Gud;
13 And we speak of these gifts, not in language taught by human philosophy, but in language taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual things in spiritual words.
og dette tale vi også, ikke med Ord, lærte af menneskelig Visdom, men med Ord, lærte af Ånden, idet vi tolke åndelige Ting med åndelige Ord.
14 The merely intellectual person rejects the teaching of the Spirit of God; for to them it is mere folly; they cannot grasp it, because it is to be understood only by spiritual insight.
Men det sjælelige Menneske tager ikke imod de Ting, som høre Guds Ånd til; thi de ere ham en Dårskab, og han kan ikke erkende dem, thi de bedømmes åndeligt.
15 But the person with spiritual insight is able to understand everything, although they themselves are understood by no one.
Men den åndelige bedømmer alle Ting, selv derimod bedømmes han af ingen.
16 For who has so comprehended the mind of the Lord as to be able to instruct him? We, however, have the mind of Christ.
Thi hvem har kendt Herrens Sind, så han skulde kunne undervise ham? Men vi have Kristi Sind.
