1 Korinterne 2

1 Og jeg, Brødre! da jeg kom til eder, kom jeg ikke og forkyndte eder Gud Vidnesbyrd med Stormægtighed i Tale eller i Visdom;

When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence of speech or wisdom as I proclaimed hidden truths about God.

2 thi jeg agtede ikke at vide noget iblandt eder uden Jesus Kristus og ham korsfæstet;

For I decided to know nothing when I was among you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

3 og jeg færdedes hos eder i Svaghed og i Frygt og megen Bæven,

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

4 og min Tale og min Prædiken var ikke med Visdoms overtalende Ord, men med Ånds og Krafts Bevisning,

And my message and my proclamation were not with persuasive words of wisdom. Instead, they were with the demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

5 for at eders Tro ikke skulde bero på Menneskers Visdom, men på Guds Kraft.

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

6 Dog, Visdom tale vi iblandt de fuldkomne, men en Visdom, der ikke stammer fra denne Verden, ikke heller fra denne Verdens Herskere, som blive til intet; (aiōn g165)

Now we do speak wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this world, or of the rulers of this age, who are passing away. (aiōn g165)

7 men vi tale Visdom fra Gud, den hemmelige, den, som var skjult, som Gud før Verdens Begyndelse forudbestemte til vor Herlighed, (aiōn g165)

Instead, we speak God's wisdom in hidden truth, the hidden wisdom that God predestined before the ages for our glory. (aiōn g165)

8 hvilken ingen af denne Verdens Herskere har erkendt; thi; havde de erkendt den, havde de ikke korsfæstet Herlighedens Herre; (aiōn g165)

None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had understood it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn g165)

9 men, som der er skrevet: "Hvad intet Øje har set, og intet Øre har hørt, og ikke er opkommet i noget Menneskes Hjerte, hvad Gud har beredt dem, som elske ham."

But as it is written, “Things that no eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has imagined, the things that God has prepared for those who love him.”

10 Men os åbenbarede Gud det ved Ånden; thi Ånden ransager alle Ting, også Guds Dybder.

These are the things that God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the deep things of God.

11 Thi hvilket Menneske ved, hvad der er i Mennesket, uden Menneskets Ånd, som er i ham? Således har heller ingen erkendt, hvad der er i Gud, uden Guds Ånd.

For who knows a person's thoughts except the spirit of the person in him? So also, no one knows the deep things of God except the Spirit of God.

12 Men vi have ikke fået Verdens Ånd, men Ånden fra Gud, for at vi kunne vide, hvad der er os skænket af Gud;

But we did not receive the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we might know the things freely given to us by God.

13 og dette tale vi også, ikke med Ord, lærte af menneskelig Visdom, men med Ord, lærte af Ånden, idet vi tolke åndelige Ting med åndelige Ord.

We speak about these things in words that man's wisdom cannot teach, but which the Spirit teaches us. The Spirit interprets spiritual words with spiritual wisdom.

14 Men det sjælelige Menneske tager ikke imod de Ting, som høre Guds Ånd til; thi de ere ham en Dårskab, og han kan ikke erkende dem, thi de bedømmes åndeligt.

The unspiritual person does not receive the things that belong to the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him. He cannot know them because they are spiritually discerned.

15 Men den åndelige bedømmer alle Ting, selv derimod bedømmes han af ingen.

The one who is spiritual judges all things, but he is not subject to the judgment of others.

16 Thi hvem har kendt Herrens Sind, så han skulde kunne undervise ham? Men vi have Kristi Sind.

“For who can know the mind of the Lord, that he can instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
