1 Korinterne 2
1 Og, jeg Brødre! der jeg kom til Eder, kom jeg ikke med prægtige Ord eller Viisdom, at forkynde Eder det Guds Vidnesbyrd;2 thi jeg agtede mig ikke at vide Noget iblandt Eder, uden Jesus Christus, og han korsfæstet;3 og jeg var hos Eder med Ydmyghed og med Frygt og med megen Bæven;4 og mit Ord og min Prædiken var ikke i menneskelig Viisdoms overtalende ord, men i Aands og Kraftes Beviisning,5 at Eders Tro ikke skulde være i Menneskens Viisdom, men i Guds Kraft.6 Men Viisdom tale vi iblandt de Fuldkomne, dog ikke denne Verdens Viisdom, ikke heller denne Verdens Øversters, hvilke skulle beskæmmes;7 men vi tale Guds Viisdom, den hemmelighedsfulde, den, som var skjult, hvilken Gud har forud beskikket før Verdens Begyndelse, til vor Herlighed,8 hvilken ingen af denne Verdens Øverster kjendte; thi havde de kjendt den, havde de ikke korsfæstet Herlighedens Herre;9 men, som skrevet er: hvad intet Øie har seet, og intet Øre har hørt, og ikke er opkommet i noget Menneses Hjerte, hvad Gud har beredt dem, som han elske.10 Men os aabenbarede Gud det formedelst sin Aand; thi Aanden ransager alle Ting, ogsaa Guds Dybheder.11 Hvilket Menneske veed det, der er i Mennesket, uden Menneskets Aand, som er i ham? Saa veed og Ingen det, som er i Gud, uden Guds Aand.12 Og vi have ikke annammet Verdens Aand, men den Aand, som er af Gud, paa det vi kunne kjende, hvad der er os skjenket af Gud;13 hvilket vi og tale, ikke med Ord, som menneskelig Viisdom lærer, men med Ord, som den Hellig Aand lærer, idet vi tolke aandelige Ting med aandelige Ord.14 Men det sanselige Menneske fatter ikke de Ting, der høre Guds Aand til; thi de ere ham enDaarlighed, og han kan ikke kjende dem, thi de dømmes aandeligen.15 Men den Aandelige dømmer vel alle Ting, selv derimod dømmes han af Ingen.16 Thi hvo har kjendt Herrens Sind, at han kunde undervise ham? Men vi have Christi Sind.
1 Corinthians 2
1 When I camet to you, brothers and sisters,t I did not come with superior eloquence or wisdom as I proclaimed the testimonys of God.2 For I decided to be concerned about nothingt among you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.3 And I was with you in weakness and in fear and with much trembling.4 My conversation and my preaching were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
5 so that your faith would not be based on human wisdom but on the power of God.
Wisdom from God
6 Now we do speak wisdom among the mature,t but not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are perishing.7 Instead we speak the wisdom of God, hidden in a mystery, that God determined before the ages for our glory.8 None of the rulers of this age understood it. If they had known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.9 But just as it is written, “Things that no eye has seen, or ear heard, or mind imagined,tare the things God has prepared for those who love him.”s10 God has revealed these to us by the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.11 For who among men knows the things of a man except the man’s spirit within him? So too, no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.12 Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things that are freely given to us by God.13 And we speak about these things, not with words taught us by human wisdom, but with those taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual things to spiritual people.t14 The unbelievert does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him. And he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.15 The one who is spiritual discernst all things, yet he himself is understoodt by no one.
16 For who has known the mind of the Lord, so as to advise him?s But we have the mind of Christ.
