1 Corinthians 2

1 When I came to you, brothers, I didn’t come with excellence of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.

καγω ελθων προσ υμασ αδελφοι ηλθον ου καθ υπεροχην λογου η σοφιασ καταγγελλων υμιν το μαρτυριον του θεου

2 For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.

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

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

και εγω εν ασθενεια και εν φοβω και εν τρομω πολλω εγενομην προσ υμασ

4 My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

και ο λογοσ μου και το κηρυγμα μου ουκ εν πειθοισ ανθρωπινησ σοφιασ λογοισ αλλ εν αποδειξει πνευματοσ και δυναμεωσ

5 that your faith wouldn’t stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

ινα η πιστισ υμων μη η εν σοφια ανθρωπων αλλ εν δυναμει θεου

6 We speak wisdom, however, among those who are full grown, yet a wisdom not of this world nor of the rulers of this world who are coming to nothing. (aiōn g165)

σοφιαν δε λαλουμεν εν τοισ τελειοισ σοφιαν δε ου του αιωνοσ τουτου ουδε των αρχοντων του αιωνοσ τουτου των καταργουμενων (aiōn g165)

7 But we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory, (aiōn g165)

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

8 which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn’t have crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn g165)

ην ουδεισ των αρχοντων του αιωνοσ τουτου εγνωκεν ει γαρ εγνωσαν ουκ αν τον κυριον τησ δοξησ εσταυρωσαν (aiōn g165)

9 But as it is written, “Things which an eye didn’t see, and an ear didn’t hear, which didn’t enter into the heart of man, these God has prepared for those who love him.”

αλλα καθωσ γεγραπται α οφθαλμοσ ουκ ειδεν και ουσ ουκ ηκουσεν και επι καρδιαν ανθρωπου ουκ ανεβη α ητοιμασεν ο θεοσ τοισ αγαπωσιν αυτον

10 But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

ημιν δε ο θεοσ απεκαλυψεν δια του πνευματοσ αυτου το γαρ πνευμα παντα ερευνα και τα βαθη του θεου

11 For who among men knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God except God’s Spirit.

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

12 But we received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that were freely given to us by God.

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

13 We also speak these things, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.

α και λαλουμεν ουκ εν διδακτοισ ανθρωπινησ σοφιασ λογοισ αλλ εν διδακτοισ πνευματοσ αγιου πνευματικοισ πνευματικα συγκρινοντεσ

14 Now the natural man doesn’t receive the things of God’s Spirit, for they are foolishness to him; and he can’t know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

ψυχικοσ δε ανθρωποσ ου δεχεται τα του πνευματοσ του θεου μωρια γαρ αυτω εστιν και ου δυναται γνωναι οτι πνευματικωσ ανακρινεται

15 But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is to be judged by no one.

ο δε πνευματικοσ ανακρινει μεν παντα αυτοσ δε υπ ουδενοσ ανακρινεται

16 “For who has known the mind of the Lord that he should instruct him?” But we have Christ’s mind.

τισ γαρ εγνω νουν κυριου οσ συμβιβασει αυτον ημεισ δε νουν χριστου εχομεν
