Corinthios I 2

1 Et ego, cum venissem ad vos, fratres, veni non in sublimitate sermonis, aut sapientiæ, annuncians vobis testimonium Christi.

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

2 Non enim iudicavi me scire aliquid inter vos, nisi Iesum Christum, et hunc crucifixum.

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

3 Et ego in infirmitate, et timore, et tremore multo fui apud vos:

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

4 et sermo meus, et prædicatio mea non in persuasibilibus humanæ sapientiæ verbis, sed in ostensione spiritus, et virtutis:

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

5 ut fides vestra non sit in sapientia hominum, sed in virtute Dei.

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

6 Sapientiam autem loquimur inter perfectos: sapientiam vero non huius sæculi, neque principum huius sæculi, qui destruuntur: (aiōn g165)

We speak wisdom, however, among them that are fullgrown: yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nought: (aiōn g165)

7 sed loquimur Dei sapientiam in mysterio, quæ abscondita est, quam prædestinavit Deus ante sæcula in gloriam nostram, (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 quam nemo principum huius sæculi cognovit: si enim cognovissent, numquam Dominum gloriæ crucifixissent. (aiōn g165)

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

9 Sed sicut scriptum est: Quod oculus non vidit, nec auris audivit, nec in cor hominis ascendit, quæ præparavit Deus iis, qui diligunt illum:

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 nobis autem revelavit Deus per spiritum suum: Spiritus enim omnia scrutatur, etiam profunda Dei.

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

11 Quis enim hominum scit quæ sunt hominis, nisi spiritus hominis, qui in ipso est? ita et quæ Dei sunt, nemo cognovit, nisi Spiritus Dei.

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 Nos autem non spiritum huius mundi accepimus, sed Spiritum, qui ex Deo est, ut sciamus quæ a Deo donata sunt nobis:

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 of God.

13 quæ et loquimur non in doctis humanæ sapientiæ verbis, sed in doctrina Spiritus, spiritualibus spiritualia comparantes.

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

14 Animalis autem homo non percipit ea, quæ sunt Spiritus Dei: stultitia enim est illi, et non potest intelligere: quia spiritualiter examinatur.

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 Spiritualis autem iudicat omnia: et ipse a nemine iudicatur.

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

16 Quis enim cognovit sensum Domini, qui instruat eum? Nos autem sensum Christi habemus.

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