1 Corinthians 2

1And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God.

καγω ελθων προς υμας, αδελφοι, ηλθον ου καθ υπεροχην λογου η σοφιας καταγγελλων υμιν το μαρτυριον του θεου.

2For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

ου γαρ εκρινα του ειδεναι τι εν υμιν ει μη ιησουν χριστον, και τουτον εσταυρωμενον.

3I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.

και εγω εν ασθενεια και εν φοβω και εν τρομω πολλω εγενομην προς υμας,

4And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

και ο λογος μου και το κηρυγμα μου ουκ εν πειθοις ανθρωπινης σοφιας λογοις, αλλ εν αποδειξει πνευματος και δυναμεως,

5that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.

ινα η πιστις υμων μη η εν σοφια ανθρωπων, αλλ εν δυναμει θεου.

6However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.

σοφιαν δε λαλουμεν εν τοις τελειοις, σοφιαν δε ου του αιωνος τουτου, ουδε των αρχοντων του αιωνος τουτου των καταργουμενων·

7But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory,

αλλα λαλουμεν σοφιαν θεου εν μυστηριω, την αποκεκρυμμενην, ην προωρισεν ο θεος προ των αιωνων εις δοξαν ημων,

8which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

ην ουδεις των αρχοντων του αιωνος τουτου εγνωκεν· ει γαρ εγνωσαν, ουκ αν τον κυριον της δοξης εσταυρωσαν·

9'Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.'

αλλα καθως γεγραπται, α οφθαλμος ουκ ειδεν και ους ουκ ηκουσεν και επι καρδιαν ανθρωπου ουκ ανεβη, α ητοιμασεν ο θεος τοις αγαπωσιν αυτον.

10But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

ημιν δε ο θεος απεκαλυψεν δια του πνευματος αυτου· το γαρ πνευμα παντα ερευνα, και τα βαθη του θεου.

11For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.

τις γαρ οιδεν ανθρωπων τα του ανθρωπου ει μη το πνευμα του ανθρωπου το εν αυτω; ουτως και τα του θεου ουδεις οιδεν ει μη το πνευμα του θεου.

12Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.

ημεις δε ου το πνευμα του κοσμου ελαβομεν, αλλα το πνευμα το εκ του θεου, ινα ειδωμεν τα υπο του θεου χαρισθεντα ημιν.

13These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

α και λαλουμεν ουκ εν διδακτοις ανθρωπινης σοφιας λογοις, αλλ εν διδακτοις πνευματος αγιου, πνευματικοις πνευματικα συγκρινοντες.

14But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

ψυχικος δε ανθρωπος ου δεχεται τα του πνευματος του θεου· μωρια γαρ αυτω εστιν, και ου δυναται γνωναι, οτι πνευματικως ανακρινεται.

15But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.

ο δε πνευματικος ανακρινει μεν παντα, αυτος δε υπ ουδενος ανακρινεται.

16For 'who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?' But we have the mind of Christ.

τις γαρ εγνω νουν κυριου, ος συμβιβασει αυτον; ημεις δε νουν χριστου εχομεν.
