1 Corinthians 2

1 And I myself And I myself having come to you, brothers, came not according to excellency of speech or wisdom proclaiming to you the (mystery *N(k)O*) of God.

And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellence of speech or of wisdom, declaring to you the testimony of God.

2 Nothing for I decided (of the *k*) anything to know among you only except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

For I determined not to know any thing among you but Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

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

And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling:

4 And the message of mine and the preaching of mine [were] not in persuasive (of human *K*) of wisdom words but in demonstration of [the] Spirit and of power,

and my speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

5 so that the faith of you not may be in wisdom of men but in power of God.

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

6 Wisdom however we speak among the mature, wisdom however not age of this nor of the rulers age of this who are coming to naught; (aiōn g165)

Yet we speak wisdom among the perfect; but not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are brought to nought: (aiōn g165)

7 But we speak of God wisdom in a mystery which hidden, which foreordained God before the ages for glory of us, (aiōn g165)

but we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, even that which had been hidden, which God predestined before the ages, for our glory, (aiōn g165)

8 which none of the rulers age of this has understood; if for they had understood [it], not then would the Lord of glory they crucified, (aiōn g165)

which none of the rulers of this age knew; for, had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory. (aiōn g165)

9 but even as it has been written: What eye not has seen and ear not has heard and into heart of man not has entered, (what *NK(O)*) has prepared God for those loving Him.

But, as it is written: Eye has not seen, and ear has not heard, and into the heart of man have not entered the things which God has prepared for them that love him.

10 To us (and *NK(o)*) revealed [it] God through the Spirit (of him; *k*) The for Spirit all things searches, even the depths of God.

But God has revealed them to us through his Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.

11 Who for knows among men the [things] of the man only except the spirit of the man that [is] within him? So also the [things] of God no [one] (has known *N(k)O*) only except the Spirit of God.

For what man knows the things of man, but the spirit of man which is in him? Even so, the things of God no one knows, but the Spirit of God.

12 We ourselves now not the spirit of the world have received but the Spirit who [is] from God, that we may know the [things] by God having been granted to us;

And we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we may know the things that are freely given to us by God:

13 which also we speak not in taught of human wisdom words but in [those] taught of [the] Spirit (Holy *K*) by spiritual [means] spiritual things communicating.

which things also we speak, not in words taught by man’s wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.

14 [The] natural however man not accepts the [things] of the Spirit of God, foolishness for to him they are, and not he is able to understand [them], because spiritually they are discerned.

But an animal man receives not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he can not know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

15 He who [is] however spiritual judges (*N(k)O*) all things he himself however by no [one] is judged.

But the spiritual man discerns all things; yet he himself is discerned by no one.

16 Who for has known [the] mind of [the] Lord? Who will instruct Him? We ourselves however [the] mind of Christ have.

For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
