2:1

Καγω ελθων προς υμας αδελφοι ηλθον ου καθ υπεροχην λογου η σοφιας καταγγελλων υμιν το μυστηριον του Θεου

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

2:2

ου γαρ εκρινα τι ειδεναι εν υμιν ει μη Ιησουν Χριστον και τουτον εσταυρωμενον

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

¹

2:3

καγω εν ασθενεια και εν φοβω και εν τρομω πολλω εγενομην προς υμας

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

2:4

και ο λογος μου και το κηρυγμα μου ουκ εν πειθοις σοφιας λογοις αλλ εν αποδειξει Πνευματος και δυναμεως

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

2:5

ινα η πιστις υμων μη η εν σοφια ανθρωπων αλλ εν δυναμει Θεου

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

2:6

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

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:

2:7

αλλα λαλουμεν Θεου σοφιαν εν μυστηριω την αποκεκρυμμενην ην προωρισεν ο Θεος προ των αιωνων εις δοξαν ημων

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:

2:8

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

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

2:9

αλλα καθως γεγραπται Α οφθαλμος ουκ ειδεν και ους ουκ ηκουσεν και επι καρδιαν ανθρωπου ουκ ανεβη α ητοιμασεν ο Θεος τοις αγαπωσιν αυτον

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.

2:10

Ημιν γαρ απεκαλυψεν ο Θεος δια του Πνευματος Το γαρ Πνευμα παντα εραυνα και τα βαθη του Θεου

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

2:11

τις γαρ οιδεν ανθρωπων τα του ανθρωπου ει μη το πνευμα του ανθρωπου το εν αυτω ουτως και τα του Θεου ουδεις εγνωκεν ει μη το Πνευμα του Θεου

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.

2:12

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

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.

2:13

α και λαλουμεν ουκ εν διδακτοις ανθρωπινης σοφιας λογοις αλλ εν διδακτοις Πνευματος πνευματικοις πνευματικα συνκρινοντες

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

2:14

Ψυχικος δε ανθρωπος ου δεχεται τα του Πνευματος του Θεου μωρια γαρ αυτω εστιν και ου δυναται γνωναι οτι πνευματικως ανακρινεται

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.

2:15

ο δε πνευματικος ανακρινει τα παντα αυτος δε υπ ουδενος ανακρινεται

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

2:16

Τις γαρ εγνω νουν Κυριου ος συμβιβασει αυτον ημεις δε νουν Χριστου εχομεν

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