Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not in loftiness of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of Christ.
1Et ego, cum venissem ad vos, fratres, veni non in sublimitate sermonis, aut sapientiæ, annuntians vobis testimonium Christi.
2For I judged not myself to know anything among you, but Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
2Non enim judicavi me scire aliquid inter vos, nisi Jesum Christum, et hunc crucifixum.
3And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
3Et ego in infirmitate, et timore, et tremore multo fui apud vos:
4And my speech and my preaching was not in the persuasive words of human wisdom, but in shewing of the Spirit and power;
4et sermo meus, et prædicatio mea non in persuasibilibus humanæ sapientiæ verbis, sed in ostensione spiritus et virtutis:
5That your faith might not stand on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.
5ut fides vestra non sit in sapientia hominum, sed in virtute Dei.
6Howbeit we speak wisdom among the perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, neither of the princes of this world that come to nought;
6Sapientiam autem loquimur inter perfectos: sapientiam vero non hujus sæculi, neque principum hujus sæculi, qui destruuntur:
7But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, a wisdom which is hidden, which God ordained before the world, unto our glory:
7sed loquimur Dei sapientiam in mysterio, quæ abscondita est, quam prædestinavit Deus ante sæcula in gloriam nostram,
8Which none of the princes of this world knew; for if they had known it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory.
8quam nemo principum hujus sæculi cognovit: si enim cognovissent, numquam Dominum gloriæ crucifixissent.
9But, as it is written: That eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that love him.
9Sed sicut scriptum est: Quod oculus non vidit, nec auris audivit, nec in cor hominis ascendit, quæ præparavit Deus iis qui diligunt illum:
10But to us God hath revealed them, by this Spirit. For the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
10nobis autem revelavit Deus per Spiritum suum: Spiritus enim omnia scrutatur, etiam profunda Dei.
11For what man knoweth the things of a man, but the spirit of a man that is in him? So the things also that are of God no man knoweth, but the Spirit of God.
11Quis enim hominum scit quæ sunt hominis, nisi spiritus hominis, qui in ipso est? ita et quæ Dei sunt, nemo cognovit, nisi Spiritus Dei.
12Now we have received not the spirit of this world, but the Spirit that is of God; that we may know the things that are given us from God.
12Nos autem non spiritum hujus mundi accepimus, sed Spiritum qui ex Deo est, ut sciamus quæ a Deo donata sunt nobis:
13Which things also we speak, not in the learned words of human wisdom; but in the doctrine of the Spirit, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
13quæ et loquimur non in doctis humanæ sapientiæ verbis, sed in doctrina Spiritus, spiritualibus spiritualia comparantes.
14But the sensual man perceiveth not these things that are of the Spirit of God; for it is foolishness to him, and he cannot understand, because it is spiritually examined.
14Animalis autem homo non percipit ea quæ sunt Spiritus Dei: stultitia enim est illi, et non potest intelligere: quia spiritualiter examinatur.
15But the spiritual man judgeth all things; and he himself is judged of no man.
15Spiritualis autem judicat omnia: et ipse a nemine judicatur.
16For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that we may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
16Quis enim cognovit sensum Domini, qui instruat eum? nos autem sensum Christi habemus.
