Corinthios I 2

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

And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellence of speech, or of wisdom, declaring 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 any thing 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 praedicatio mea non in persuasibilibus humanae sapientiae verbis, sed in ostensione spiritus, et virtutis:

And my speech and my preaching [was] not with enticing words of man's 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 saeculi, neque principum huius saeculi, qui destruuntur: (aiōn g165)

However, we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to naught: (aiōn g165)

7 sed loquimur Dei sapientiam in mysterio, quae abscondita est, quam praedestinavit Deus ante saecula in gloriam nostram, (aiōn g165)

But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, [even] the hidden [wisdom] which God ordained before the world to our glory: (aiōn g165)

8 quam nemo principum huius saeculi cognovit: si enim cognovissent, numquam Dominum gloriae crucifixissent. (aiōn g165)

Which none of the princes of this world knew: 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 ascenderunt, quae praeparavit Deus iis, qui diligunt illum:

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

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

But God hath revealed [them] to us by his Spirit; for the Spirit searcheth all things, even the deep things of God.

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

For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

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

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is from God; that we may know the things that are freely given to us by God.

13 quae et loquimur non in doctis humanae sapientiae verbis, sed in doctrina Spiritus, spiritualibus spiritualia comparantes.

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

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

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness to him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned.

15 Spiritualis autem iudicat omnia: et ipse a nemine iudicatur, sicut scriptum est:

But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged by no man.

16 Quis enim cognovit sensum Domini, aut quis instruxit eum? Nos autem sensum Christi habemus.

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