1 Corinthians 2
1 My fellow believers, when I came to you, I proclaimed to you the message that God had revealed to me. But I did not proclaim it using eloquent words that would make people think highly of me, nor did I argue in a way that unbelievers would think was very wise.
Quando vim até vocês, irmãos, não vim com excelência de discurso ou de sabedoria, proclamando a vocês o testemunho de Deus.
2 I did that because I decided that I would speak only about Jesus Christ. Specifically, I told you [what he accomplished for us when] he was killed by being nailed {[when they] killed him by nailing him} to a cross.
Pois determinei não conhecer nada entre vós, exceto Jesus Cristo e Ele crucificado.
3 Furthermore, when I was with you, I felt that I was not adequate [to do what Christ wanted me to do]. I was afraid [that I would not be able to do it], and because of that I was trembling very much.
Eu estava com vocês em fraqueza, em medo e em muito tremor.
4 When I taught you and preached to you, I did not speak words that [unbelievers would consider] [IRO] wise in order to convince them that my message was true. Instead, [God’s] Spirit showed that it was true by [enabling me to] powerfully [perform miracles].
Meu discurso e minha pregação não foram em palavras persuasivas de sabedoria humana, mas em demonstração do Espírito e do poder,
5 [I taught and preached that way] in order that you might believe [my message], not because you heard words that people [considered to be] [IRO] wise, but [because you recognized] God’s power.
que sua fé não estaria na sabedoria dos homens, mas no poder de Deus.
6 I do teach a message that people who are [spiritually] mature [consider to] be wise. But I do not teach a message that unbelievers [consider to be] wise. I also do not teach a message that unbelieving rulers in the world consider to be wise. [What they think about it does not matter], because [some day] (they will lose their power/not be ruling any more). (aiōn g165)
Falamos de sabedoria, porém, entre aqueles que são adultos, mas uma sabedoria que não é deste mundo nem dos governantes deste mundo que estão chegando ao nada. (aiōn g165)
7 Instead, I teach about what God planned wisely [long ago]. It is something that people did not know about previously because [God] did not reveal it previously. But God determined before he created the world that he would greatly benefit us by his wise plan. (aiōn g165)
Mas falamos a sabedoria de Deus em um mistério, a sabedoria que foi escondida, que Deus predestinou diante dos mundos para nossa glória, (aiōn g165)
8 None of those who rule this world knew that wise plan. If they had known it, they would not have nailed our wonderful Lord to the cross. (aiōn g165)
a qual nenhum dos governantes deste mundo conheceu. Pois se o soubessem, não teriam crucificado o Senhor da glória. (aiōn g165)
9 But [we believers need to remember these words that a prophet] wrote [in the Scriptures]: Things that no one has ever seen, things that no one ever heard, things that no one ever thought could happen, those are the things that God has prepared for those who love him.
Mas como está escrito, “Coisas que um olho não viu, e um ouvido não ouviu”, que não entrou no coração do homem, estes Deus tem preparado para aqueles que o amam”.
10 God has caused his Spirit to reveal those things to us [(inc)] believers. His Spirit can do that because he knows thoroughly the meaning of all things. He even knows the things about God that are very difficult to understand.
Mas para nós, Deus os revelou através do Espírito. Pois o Espírito busca todas as coisas, sim, as coisas profundas de Deus.
11 Only a person himself (OR, a person’s spirit) knows what he is thinking. Similarly, only God’s Spirit knows what God is thinking.
Pois quem entre os homens conhece as coisas de um homem, exceto o espírito do homem que está nele? Mesmo assim, ninguém conhece as coisas de Deus, exceto o Espírito de Deus.
12 It was not the ideas that unbelievers teach that we accepted. Instead, it was the Spirit who came from God that we received, in order that we might know the things that God has freely done for us.
Mas nós não recebemos o espírito do mundo, mas o Espírito que é de Deus, para que possamos conhecer as coisas que nos foram dadas gratuitamente por Deus.
13 Those are the things that I tell you about. As I do that, I do not tell you things that someone [whom others thought] was [IRO] wise taught me. Instead, I tell you truths that [God’s] Spirit taught [me], and I explain those spiritual truths to people whose thinking is guided by God’s Spirit (OR, I teach spiritual [truths to] spiritual [people]).
Também falamos estas coisas, não em palavras que a sabedoria do homem ensina, mas que o Espírito Santo ensina, comparando coisas espirituais com coisas espirituais.
14 Those who are unbelievers reject the truths that [God’s] Spirit teaches us [(inc)], because they [consider those truths to be] foolish. They cannot understand them, because it is God’s Spirit who enables us to evaluate those truths correctly, [and those people do not have God’s Spirit].
Agora o homem natural não recebe as coisas do Espírito de Deus, pois são loucura para ele; e ele não pode conhecê-las, porque são discernidas espiritualmente.
15 We who have God’s Spirit can judge correctly the [value of] all truths [that the Spirit reveals], but [unbelievers] cannot evaluate us correctly.
Mas aquele que é discerne todas as coisas espirituais, e ele mesmo não deve ser julgado por ninguém.
16 As [one of our prophets wrote: ] No human [RHQ] has known what the Lord is thinking. No human [RHQ] is able to instruct him. But we believers are able to think about things [MTY] in the way that Christ thinks about them.
“Pois quem conheceu a mente do Senhor para que ele o instrua?”. Mas nós temos a mente de Cristo.
