1 Corintios 2

Young's Literal Translation

1And I, having come unto you, brethren, came — not in superiority of discourse or wisdom — declaring to you the testimony of God,

2for I decided not to know any thing among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified;

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

4and my word and my preaching was not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power —

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

6And wisdom we speak among the perfect, and wisdom not of this age, nor of the rulers of this age — of those becoming useless,

7but we speak the hidden wisdom of God in a secret, that God foreordained before the ages to our glory,

8which no one of the rulers of this age did know, for if they had known, the Lord of the glory they would not have crucified;

9but, according as it hath been written, 'What eye did not see, and ear did not hear, and upon the heart of man came not up, what God did prepare for those loving Him — '

10but to us did God reveal [them] through His Spirit, for the Spirit all things doth search, even the depths of God,

11for who of men hath known the things of the man, except the spirit of the man that [is] in him? so also the things of God no one hath known, except the Spirit of God.

12And we the spirit of the world did not receive, but the Spirit that [is] of God, that we may know the things conferred by God on us,

13which things also we speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Holy Spirit, with spiritual things spiritual things comparing,

14and the natural man doth not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for to him they are foolishness, and he is not able to know [them], because spiritually they are discerned;

15and he who is spiritual, doth discern indeed all things, and he himself is by no one discerned;

16for who did know the mind of the Lord that he shall instruct Him? and we — we have the mind of Christ.

Reina-Valera 1909

1ASÍ que, hermanos, cuando fuí á vosotros, no fuí con altivez de palabra, ó de sabiduría, á anunciaros el testimonio de Cristo.

2Porque no me propuse saber algo entre vosotros, sino á Jesucristo, y á éste crucificado.

3Y estuve yo con vosotros con flaqueza, y mucho temor y temblor;

4Y ni mi palabra ni mi predicación fué con palabras persuasivas de humana sabiduría, mas con demostración del Espíritu y de poder;

5Para que vuestra fe no esté fundada en sabiduría de hombres, mas en poder de Dios.

6Empero hablamos sabiduría entre perfectos; y sabiduría, no de este siglo, ni de los príncipes de este siglo, que se deshacen:

7Mas hablamos sabiduría de Dios en misterio, la sabiduría oculta, la cual Dios predestinó antes de los siglos para nuestra gloria:

8La que ninguno de los príncipes de este siglo conoció; porque si la hubieran conocido, nunca hubieran crucificado al Señor de gloria:

9Antes, como está escrito: Cosas que ojo no vió, ni oreja oyó, ni han subido en corazón de hombre, son las que ha Dios preparado para aquellos que le aman.

10Empero Dios nos lo reveló á nosotros por el Espíritu: porque el Espíritu todo lo escudriña, aun lo profundo de Dios.

11Porque ¿quién de los hombres sabe las cosas del hombre, sino el espíritu del hombre que está en él? Así tampoco nadie conoció las cosas de Dios, sino el Espíritu de Dios.

12Y nosotros hemos recibido, no el espíritu del mundo, sino el Espíritu que es de Dios, para que conozcamos lo que Dios nos ha dado;

13Lo cual también hablamos, no con doctas palabras de humana sabiduría, mas con doctrina del Espíritu, acomodando lo espiritual á lo espiritual.

14Mas el hombre animal no percibe las cosas que son del Espíritu de Dios, porque le son locura: y no las puede entender, porque se han de examinar espiritualmente.

15Empero el espiritual juzga todas las cosas; mas él no es juzgado de nadie.

16Porque ¿quién conoció la mente del Señor? ¿quién le instruyó? Mas nosotros tenemos la mente de Cristo.

King James Version

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

2For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

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

4And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

5That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

6Howbeit 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 nought:

7But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

8Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

9But 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.

10But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

11For 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.

12Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

13Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

14But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

15But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

16For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

World English Bible

1When I came to you, brothers, I didn’t come with excellence of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.

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

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

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

5that your faith wouldn’t stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

6We speak wisdom, however, among those who are full grown, yet a wisdom not of this world nor of the rulers of this world who are coming to nothing.

7But we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory,

8which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn’t have crucified the Lord of glory.

9But as it is written, “Things which an eye didn’t see, and an ear didn’t hear, which didn’t enter into the heart of man, these God has prepared for those who love him.”

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

11For who among men 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 God’s Spirit.

12But 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 by God.

13We also speak these things, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.

14Now the natural man doesn’t receive the things of God’s Spirit, for they are foolishness to him; and he can’t know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

15But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is to be judged by no one.

16“For who has known the mind of the Lord that he should instruct him?” But we have Christ’s mind.
