1 Corinthians 2
1 My fellow believers, when I came to you, I proclaimed to you the message that God had revealed to me. But I did not proclaim it using eloquent words that would make people think highly of me, nor did I argue in a way that unbelievers would think was very wise.
Cuando fui a vosotros, hermanos, no fui con excelencia de palabra o de sabiduría, anunciándoos el testimonio de Dios.
2 I did that because I decided that I would speak only about Jesus Christ. Specifically, I told you [what he accomplished for us when] he was killed by being nailed {[when they] killed him by nailing him} to a cross.
Porque me propuse no conocer nada entre vosotros, sino a Jesucristo y a éste crucificado.
3 Furthermore, when I was with you, I felt that I was not adequate [to do what Christ wanted me to do]. I was afraid [that I would not be able to do it], and because of that I was trembling very much.
Estuve con vosotros con debilidad, con temor y con mucho temblor.
4 When I taught you and preached to you, I did not speak words that [unbelievers would consider] [IRO] wise in order to convince them that my message was true. Instead, [God’s] Spirit showed that it was true by [enabling me to] powerfully [perform miracles].
Mi discurso y mi predicación no fueron con palabras persuasivas de sabiduría humana, sino con la demostración del Espíritu y del poder,
5 [I taught and preached that way] in order that you might believe [my message], not because you heard words that people [considered to be] [IRO] wise, but [because you recognized] God’s power.
para que vuestra fe no permaneciera en la sabiduría de los hombres, sino en el poder de Dios.
6 I do teach a message that people who are [spiritually] mature [consider to] be wise. But I do not teach a message that unbelievers [consider to be] wise. I also do not teach a message that unbelieving rulers in the world consider to be wise. [What they think about it does not matter], because [some day] (they will lose their power/not be ruling any more). (aiōn g165)
Sin embargo, hablamos de la sabiduría de los que ya han crecido, pero una sabiduría que no es de este mundo ni de los gobernantes de este mundo que están llegando a la nada. (aiōn g165)
7 Instead, I teach about what God planned wisely [long ago]. It is something that people did not know about previously because [God] did not reveal it previously. But God determined before he created the world that he would greatly benefit us by his wise plan. (aiōn g165)
Pero hablamos la sabiduría de Dios en un misterio, la sabiduría que ha estado oculta, que Dios preordenó antes de los mundos para nuestra gloria, (aiōn g165)
8 None of those who rule this world knew that wise plan. If they had known it, they would not have nailed our wonderful Lord to the cross. (aiōn g165)
que ninguno de los gobernantes de este mundo ha conocido. Porque si la hubieran conocido, no habrían crucificado al Señor de la gloria. (aiōn g165)
9 But [we believers need to remember these words that a prophet] wrote [in the Scriptures]: Things that no one has ever seen, things that no one ever heard, things that no one ever thought could happen, those are the things that God has prepared for those who love him.
Pero como está escrito, “Cosas que un ojo no vio, y un oído no oyó, que no entró en el corazón del hombre, que Dios ha preparado para los que le aman”.
10 God has caused his Spirit to reveal those things to us [(inc)] believers. His Spirit can do that because he knows thoroughly the meaning of all things. He even knows the things about God that are very difficult to understand.
Pero a nosotros, Dios nos las reveló por medio del Espíritu. Porque el Espíritu escudriña todas las cosas, sí, las cosas profundas de Dios.
11 Only a person himself (OR, a person’s spirit) knows what he is thinking. Similarly, only God’s Spirit knows what God is thinking.
Porque ¿quién de los hombres conoce las cosas del hombre sino el espíritu del hombre que está en él? Así, nadie conoce las cosas de Dios sino el Espíritu de Dios.
12 It was not the ideas that unbelievers teach that we accepted. Instead, it was the Spirit who came from God that we received, in order that we might know the things that God has freely done for us.
Pero nosotros no hemos recibido el espíritu del mundo, sino el Espíritu que viene de Dios, para conocer las cosas que nos han sido dadas gratuitamente por Dios.
13 Those are the things that I tell you about. As I do that, I do not tell you things that someone [whom others thought] was [IRO] wise taught me. Instead, I tell you truths that [God’s] Spirit taught [me], and I explain those spiritual truths to people whose thinking is guided by God’s Spirit (OR, I teach spiritual [truths to] spiritual [people]).
También hablamos estas cosas, no con las palabras que enseña la sabiduría de los hombres, sino con las que enseña el Espíritu Santo, comparando las cosas espirituales con las espirituales.
14 Those who are unbelievers reject the truths that [God’s] Spirit teaches us [(inc)], because they [consider those truths to be] foolish. They cannot understand them, because it is God’s Spirit who enables us to evaluate those truths correctly, [and those people do not have God’s Spirit].
Ahora bien, el hombre natural no recibe las cosas del Espíritu de Dios, porque para él son locura, y no puede conocerlas, porque se disciernen espiritualmente.
15 We who have God’s Spirit can judge correctly the [value of] all truths [that the Spirit reveals], but [unbelievers] cannot evaluate us correctly.
Pero el que es espiritual discierne todas las cosas, y no debe ser juzgado por nadie.
16 As [one of our prophets wrote: ] No human [RHQ] has known what the Lord is thinking. No human [RHQ] is able to instruct him. But we believers are able to think about things [MTY] in the way that Christ thinks about them.
“Porque ¿quién ha conocido la mente del Señor para instruirlo?” Pero nosotros tenemos la mente de Cristo.
