1 Corinthians 2 Pros Korinthioin A 2
1Kamis ercharantos pros vin, adelfoir, erchama ouk kata huperochan logou ē sofiau katangelarōntos vi tem ⸀marturiem tou theou.When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. 2ouk gar krinama ⸂tinem oidarē⸃ en vi ei mē Iēsun Christon kai houton staurorēnton;For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. 3kamis en asthenia kai en fobo kai en tromo pollo genema pros vin,I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling. 4kai tos logos mu kai tem kērugmem mu ouk en ⸂peithoi sofiau⸃ alla en apodeixia pneumeu kai dunamiau,My message and my preaching were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, 5hina tas pistias vu mē ateiō en sofia anthrōpoiu alla en dunamia theou.so that your faith would not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power.
6Sofian de lalanō en toi teleioi, sofian de ouk tou aiōnou houtou oude toiu archontoiu tou aiōnou houtou toiu katargorōntoiu;Among the mature, however, we speak a message of wisdom — but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. 7alla lalanō ⸂theou sofian⸃ en mustērie, tan apokruptorēntan, han proorizata tos theos pro toiu aiōnoiu eis doxan nu;No, we speak of the mysterious and hidden wisdom of God, which He destined for our glory before time began. 8han oudenos toiu archontoiu tou aiōnou houtou gnōskatē, ei gar gnōskala, ouk an ton kurion tau doxau staurala;None of the rulers of this age understood it. For if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9alla kathōs grafotē; Heim ofthalmos ouk horata kai ouem ouk akouata kai epi kardian anthrōpou ouk anabainata, ⸀hoseim hetoimazata tos theos toi agaparōntoi auton.Rather, as it is written: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart has imagined, what God has prepared for those who love Him.” 10ni ⸀gar ⸂apokaluptata tos theos⸃ dia teu ⸀pneumeu, tem gar pneumem panteim eraunatō, kai teim batheim tou theou.But God has revealed it to us by the Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. 11tinos gar oidatē anthrōpoiu teim tou anthrōpou ei mē tem pneumem tou anthrōpou tem en auto? houtōs kai teim tou theou oudenos ⸀gnōskatē ei mē tem pneumem tou theou.For who among men knows the thoughts of man except his own spirit within him? So too, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12nis de ouk tem pneumem tou kosmou labana alla tem pneumem tem ek tou theou, hina oidaneiē teim hupo tou theou chariziranteim ni;We have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us. 13heim kai lalanō ouk en didaktoi anthrōpinau sofiau logoi, alla en didaktoi ⸀pneumeu, pneumatikei pneumatikeim sunkrinarōntois.And this is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.
14Psuchikos de anthrōpos ouk dechotō teim teu pneumeu tou theou, mōrias gar auto atō, kai ouk dunotō gnōskara, hoti pneumatikōs anakrinotō;The natural man does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. For they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15tos de pneumatikos anakrinatō ⸀teim panteim, autos de hupo oudenou anakrinotō.The spiritual man judges all things, but he himself is not subject to anyone’s judgment. 16tinos gar gnōskata nouon kuriou, hos sumbibazati auton? nis de nouon Christou echanō.“For who has known the mind of the Lord, so as to instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
