Προς Κορινθιους Α΄ 2

1 καγω ελθων προς υμας αδελφοι ηλθον ου καθ υπεροχην λογου η σοφιας καταγγελλων υμιν το μαρτυριον του θεου

And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech (logos) or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.

2 ου γαρ εκρινα του ειδεναι τι εν υμιν ει μη ιησουν χριστον και τουτον εσταυρωμενον

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

3 και εγω εν ασθενεια και εν φοβω και εν τρομω πολλω εγενομην προς υμας

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

4 και ο λογος μου και το κηρυγμα μου ουκ εν πειθοις ανθρωπινης σοφιας λογοις αλλ εν αποδειξει πνευματος και δυναμεως

And my speech (logos) and my preaching was not with enticing words (logos) of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit (pneuma) and of power:

5 ινα η πιστις υμων μη η εν σοφια ανθρωπων αλλ εν δυναμει θεου

That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

6 σοφιαν δε λαλουμεν εν τοις τελειοις σοφιαν δε ου του αιωνος τουτου ουδε των αρχοντων του αιωνος τουτου των καταργουμενων (aiōn g165)

Nevertheless we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nothing: (aiōn g165)

7 αλλα λαλουμεν σοφιαν θεου εν μυστηριω την αποκεκρυμμενην ην προωρισεν ο θεος προ των αιωνων εις δοξαν ημων (aiōn g165)

But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: (aiōn g165)

8 ην ουδεις των αρχοντων του αιωνος τουτου εγνωκεν ει γαρ εγνωσαν ουκ αν τον κυριον της δοξης εσταυρωσαν (aiōn g165)

Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn g165)

9 αλλα καθως γεγραπται α οφθαλμος ουκ ειδεν και ους ουκ ηκουσεν και επι καρδιαν ανθρωπου ουκ ανεβη α ητοιμασεν ο θεος τοις αγαπωσιν αυτον

But as it is written, Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love him.

10 ημιν δε ο θεος απεκαλυψεν δια του πνευματος αυτου το γαρ πνευμα παντα ερευνα και τα βαθη του θεου

But God has revealed them unto us by his Spirit: (pneuma) for the Spirit (pneuma) searches all things, yea, the deep things of God.

11 τις γαρ οιδεν ανθρωπων τα του ανθρωπου ει μη το πνευμα του ανθρωπου το εν αυτω ουτως και τα του θεου ουδεις οιδεν ει μη το πνευμα του θεου

For what man knows the things of a man, save the spirit (pneuma) of man which is in him? even so the things of God knows no man, but the Spirit (pneuma) of God.

12 ημεις δε ου το πνευμα του κοσμου ελαβομεν αλλα το πνευμα το εκ του θεου ινα ειδωμεν τα υπο του θεου χαρισθεντα ημιν

Now we have received, not the spirit (pneuma) of the world, but the spirit (pneuma) which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

13 α και λαλουμεν ουκ εν διδακτοις ανθρωπινης σοφιας λογοις αλλ εν διδακτοις πνευματος αγιου πνευματικοις πνευματικα συγκρινοντες

Which things also we speak, not in the words (logos) which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit (pneuma) teaches; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

14 ψυχικος δε ανθρωπος ου δεχεται τα του πνευματος του θεου μωρια γαρ αυτω εστιν και ου δυναται γνωναι οτι πνευματικως ανακρινεται

But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit (pneuma) of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

15 ο δε πνευματικος ανακρινει μεν παντα αυτος δε υπ ουδενος ανακρινεται

But he that is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

16 τις γαρ εγνω νουν κυριου ος συμβιβασει αυτον ημεις δε νουν χριστου εχομεν

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