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

I, therefore, brethren, when I came unto you, came, not with excellency of discourse or wisdom, declaring unto you the mystery of God;

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

For I had not determined to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, —and, him, as one who had been crucified!

3 aparanjcAtIva daurbbalyabhItikampayuktO yuSmAbhiH sArddhamAsaM|

I, therefore in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling, came to be with you,

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

And, my discourse, and what I proclaimed, were not in suasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of Spirit and power:

5 tadarthaM mama vaktRtA madIyapracArazca mAnuSikajnjAnasya madhuravAkyasambalitau nAstAM kintvAtmanaH zaktEzca pramANayuktAvAstAM|

In order that, your faith, might not be in men’s wisdom, but in God’s power.

6 vayaM jnjAnaM bhASAmahE tacca siddhalOkai rjnjAnamiva manyatE, tadihalOkasya jnjAnaM nahi, ihalOkasya nazvarANAm adhipatInAM vA jnjAnaM nahi; (aiōn g165)

Wisdom, however, we do speak, among the full-grown, —wisdom, indeed, not of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are to come 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 sacred secret, that hidden [wisdom], which God marked out beforehand, 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 had come to know, for, had they known, not, in that case, the Lord of the glory, would they have crucified! (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, even as it is written—The things which eye hath not seen, and ear hath not heard, and upon the heart of man have not come up, —whatsoever things God hath prepared for them that love him,

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

Unto us, in fact, hath God revealed through the Spirit; for, the Spirit, into all things, maketh search, yea! the deep things of God.

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

For who of men knoweth the things of a man, —save the spirit of the man that is in him? thus, even the things of God, hath no one come to know, save the Spirit of God.

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

But, as for us, —not the spirit of the world, have we received, but the Spirit which is of God, —that we might know the things which, by God, have been given in favour unto us: —

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

Which we also speak—not in words taught of human wisdom, but in such as are taught of [the] Spirit, by spiritual words, spiritual things, explaining.

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

But, a man of the soul, doth not welcome the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness unto him, and he cannot get to know them, because, spiritually, are they examined;

15 AtmikO mAnavaH sarvvANi vicArayati kintu svayaM kEnApi na vicAryyatE|

But, the man of the spirit, on the one hand, examineth all things, but, on the other, he himself, by no one, is examined.

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

For who hath come to know the mind of the Lord, that shall instruct him? But, we, have, the mind of Christ.
