1 Corinthians 2
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
1Et ego, cum venissem ad vos, fratres, veni non in sublimitate sermonis, aut sapientiæ, annuntians vobis testimonium Christi.
2For I determined not to know any thing among you, save 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 with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
4et sermo meus, et prædicatio mea non in persuasibilibus humanæ sapientiæ verbis, sed in ostensione spiritus et virtutis:
5That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
5ut fides vestra non sit in sapientia hominum, sed in virtute Dei.
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:
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, even the hidden wisdom , 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 had they known it , they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
8quam nemo principum hujus sæculi cognovit: si enim cognovissent, numquam Dominum gloriæ crucifixissent.
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.
9Sed sicut scriptum est: Quod oculus non vidit, nec auris audivit, nec in cor hominis ascendit, quæ præparavit Deus iis qui diligunt illum:
10But God hath revealed them unto us by his 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, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, 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 the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of 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 words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
13quæ et loquimur non in doctis humanæ sapientiæ verbis, sed in doctrina Spiritus, spiritualibus spiritualia comparantes.
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.
14Animalis autem homo non percipit ea quæ sunt Spiritus Dei: stultitia enim est illi, et non potest intelligere: quia spiritualiter examinatur.
15But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet 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 he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
16Quis enim cognovit sensum Domini, qui instruat eum? nos autem sensum Christi habemus.
