1 Corinthians 2

1 And I myself And I myself having come to you, brothers, came not according to excellency of speech or wisdom proclaiming to you the (mystery *N+kO) of God.

And I, brethren, when I came unto you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the mystery of God.

2 Nothing for I decided (of the *k) anything to know among you only except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

For I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

3 And I myself And I myself in weakness and in fear and in trembling much was with you;

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

4 And the message of mine and the preaching of mine [were] not in persuasive (of human *K) of wisdom words but in demonstration of [the] Spirit and of power,

And my speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

5 so that the faith of you not may be in wisdom of men but in power of God.

that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

6 Wisdom however we speak among the mature, wisdom however not age of this nor of the rulers age of this who are coming to naught; (aiōn g165)

Howbeit we speak wisdom among the perfect: yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, which are coming to nought: (aiōn g165)

7 But we speak of God wisdom in a mystery which hidden, which foreordained God before the ages for glory of us, (aiōn g165)

but we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, [even] the [wisdom] that hath been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds unto our glory: (aiōn g165)

8 which none of the rulers age of this has understood; if for they had understood [it], not then would the Lord of glory they crucified, (aiōn g165)

which none of the rulers of this world knoweth: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory: (aiōn g165)

9 but even as it has been written: What eye not has seen and ear not has heard and into heart of man not has entered, (what *NK+O) has prepared God for those loving Him.

but as it is written, Things which eye saw not, and ear heard not, And [which] entered not into the heart of man, Whatsoever things God prepared for them that love him.

10 To us (and *NK+o) revealed [it] God through the Spirit (of him; *k) The for Spirit all things searches, even the depths of God.

But unto us God revealed [them] through the Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

11 Who for knows among men the [things] of the man only except the spirit of the man that [is] within him? So also the [things] of God no [one] (has known *N+kO) only except the Spirit of God.

For who among men knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of the man, which is in him? even so the things of God none knoweth, save the Spirit of God.

12 We ourselves now not the spirit of the world have received but the Spirit who [is] from God, that we may know the [things] by God having been granted to us;

But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us by God.

13 which also we speak not in taught of human wisdom words but in [those] taught of [the] Spirit (Holy *K) by spiritual [means] spiritual things communicating.

Which things also we speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Spirit teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

14 [The] natural however man not accepts the [things] of the Spirit of God, foolishness for to him they are, and not he is able to understand [them], because spiritually they are discerned.

Now the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him; and he cannot know them, because they are spiritually judged.

15 He who [is] however spiritual judges all things he himself however by no [one] is judged.

But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, and he himself is judged of no man.

16 Who for has known [the] mind of [the] Lord? Who will instruct Him? We ourselves however [the] mind of Christ have.

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