1 karinthinaH 2

1 hE bhrAtarO yuSmatsamIpE mamAgamanakAlE'haM vaktRtAyA vidyAyA vA naipuNyEnEzvarasya sAkSyaM pracAritavAn tannahi;

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 yatO yIzukhrISTaM tasya kruzE hatatvanjca vinA nAnyat kimapi yuSmanmadhyE jnjApayituM vihitaM buddhavAn|

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

3 aparanjcAtIva daurbbalyabhItikampayuktO yuSmAbhiH sArddhamAsaM|

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

4 aparaM yuSmAkaM vizvAsO yat mAnuSikajnjAnasya phalaM na bhavEt kintvIzvarIyazaktEH phalaM bhavEt,

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 tadarthaM mama vaktRtA madIyapracArazca mAnuSikajnjAnasya madhuravAkyasambalitau nAstAM kintvAtmanaH zaktEzca pramANayuktAvAstAM|

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

6 vayaM jnjAnaM bhASAmahE tacca siddhalOkai rjnjAnamiva manyatE, tadihalOkasya jnjAnaM nahi, ihalOkasya nazvarANAm adhipatInAM vA jnjAnaM nahi; (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 kintu kAlAvasthAyAH pUrvvasmAd yat jnjAnam asmAkaM vibhavArtham IzvarENa nizcitya pracchannaM tannigUPham IzvarIyajnjAnaM prabhASAmahE| (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 ihalOkasyAdhipatInAM kEnApi tat jnjAnaM na labdhaM, labdhE sati tE prabhAvaviziSTaM prabhuM kruzE nAhaniSyan| (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 tadvallikhitamAstE, nEtrENa kkApi nO dRSTaM karNEnApi ca na zrutaM| manOmadhyE tu kasyApi na praviSTaM kadApi yat|IzvarE prIyamANAnAM kRtE tat tEna sanjcitaM|

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 aparamIzvaraH svAtmanA tadasmAkaM sAkSAt prAkAzayat; yata AtmA sarvvamEvAnusandhattE tEna cEzvarasya marmmatattvamapi budhyatE|

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

11 manujasyAntaHsthamAtmAnaM vinA kEna manujEna tasya manujasya tattvaM budhyatE? tadvadIzvarasyAtmAnaM vinA kEnApIzvarasya tattvaM na budhyatE|

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 vayanjcEhalOkasyAtmAnaM labdhavantastannahi kintvIzvarasyaivAtmAnaM labdhavantaH, tatO hEtOrIzvarENa svaprasAdAd asmabhyaM yad yad dattaM tatsarvvam asmAbhi rjnjAtuM zakyatE|

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 taccAsmAbhi rmAnuSikajnjAnasya vAkyAni zikSitvA kathyata iti nahi kintvAtmatO vAkyAni zikSitvAtmikai rvAkyairAtmikaM bhAvaM prakAzayadbhiH kathyatE|

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 prANI manuSya IzvarIyAtmanaH zikSAM na gRhlAti yata AtmikavicArENa sA vicAryyEti hEtOH sa tAM pralApamiva manyatE bOddhunjca na zaknOti|

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 AtmikO mAnavaH sarvvANi vicArayati kintu svayaM kEnApi na vicAryyatE|

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

16 yata Izvarasya manO jnjAtvA tamupadESTuM kaH zaknOti? kintu khrISTasya manO'smAbhi rlabdhaM|

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