Corinthios I 2

1 et ego cum venissem ad vos fratres veni non per sublimitatem sermonis aut sapientiae adnuntians vobis testimonium Christi

Now, when I cam to you, brethren, I came not with excellency of speech, and of wisdom, declaring to you the testimony of God.

2 non enim iudicavi scire me aliquid inter vos nisi Iesum Christum et hunc crucifixum

For I determined to make known nothing among you but Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

3 et ego in infirmitate et timore et tremore multo fui apud vos

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

4 et sermo meus et praedicatio mea non in persuasibilibus sapientiae verbis sed in ostensione Spiritus et virtutis

My discourse, also, and my proclamation, were not with persuasive words of human wisdom; but with the demonstration of the Spirit, and of power.

5 ut fides vestra non sit in sapientia hominum sed in virtute Dei

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

6 sapientiam autem loquimur inter perfectos sapientiam vero non huius saeculi neque principum huius saeculi qui destruuntur (aiōn g165)

However, we speak wisdom among the perfect: but not the wisdom of this world; neither of the rulers of this world, who are to be brought to nothing. (aiōn g165)

7 sed loquimur Dei sapientiam in mysterio quae abscondita est quam praedestinavit Deus ante saecula in gloriam nostram (aiōn g165)

But we speak the mysterious wisdom of God, which has been till now concealed; which God declared before the time of the ages, should be spoken to our glory. (aiōn g165)

8 quam nemo principum huius saeculi cognovit si enim cognovissent numquam Dominum gloriae crucifixissent (aiōn g165)

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

9 sed sicut scriptum est quod oculus non vidit nec auris audivit nec in cor hominis ascendit quae praeparavit Deus his qui diligunt illum

For, as it is written, "Those things eye has not seen, and ear has not heard, and into the heart of man have not entered, which God has prepared for them who love him."

10 nobis autem revelavit Deus per Spiritum suum Spiritus enim omnia scrutatur etiam profunda Dei

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

11 quis enim scit hominum quae sint hominis nisi spiritus hominis qui in ipso est ita et quae Dei sunt nemo cognovit nisi Spiritus Dei

For who, of men, knows the thoughts of a man, except the spirit of man which is in him: so, also, the thoughts of God no man knows, but the Spirit of God.

12 nos autem non spiritum mundi accepimus sed Spiritum qui ex Deo est ut sciamus quae a Deo donata sunt nobis

Now, we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which comes from God, that we might know the things which are gifted to us by God.

13 quae et loquimur non in doctis humanae sapientiae verbis sed in doctrina Spiritus spiritalibus spiritalia conparantes

Which things, also, we speak, not in words, taught by human wisdom; but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual things in spiritual words.

14 animalis autem homo non percipit ea quae sunt Spiritus Dei stultitia est enim illi et non potest intellegere quia spiritaliter examinatur

Now, an animal man receives not the thing of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness to him; neither can he know them, because they are spiritually examined.

15 spiritalis autem iudicat omnia et ipse a nemine iudicatur

But the spiritual man examines, indeed, all things, yet he is examined by no one.

16 quis enim cognovit sensum Domini qui instruat eum nos autem sensum Christi habemus

For what animal man has known the mind of the Lord, who will instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
