Corinthios I 2
Clementine Vulgate, 1598Translation
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
World English Bible
1Et ego, cum venissem ad vos, fratres, veni non in sublimitate sermonis, aut sapientiæ, annuntians vobis testimonium Christi.
1When I came to you, brothers, I didn’t come with excellence of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.
2Non enim judicavi me scire aliquid inter vos, nisi Jesum Christum, et hunc crucifixum.
2For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
3Et ego in infirmitate, et timore, et tremore multo fui apud vos:
3I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.
4et sermo meus, et prædicatio mea non in persuasibilibus humanæ sapientiæ verbis, sed in ostensione spiritus et virtutis:
4My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
5ut fides vestra non sit in sapientia hominum, sed in virtute Dei.
5that your faith wouldn’t stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
6Sapientiam autem loquimur inter perfectos: sapientiam vero non hujus sæculi, neque principum hujus sæculi, qui destruuntur:
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.
7sed loquimur Dei sapientiam in mysterio, quæ abscondita est, quam prædestinavit Deus ante sæcula in gloriam nostram,
7But we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory,
8quam nemo principum hujus sæculi cognovit: si enim cognovissent, numquam Dominum gloriæ crucifixissent.
8which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn’t have crucified the Lord of glory.
9Sed sicut scriptum est: Quod oculus non vidit, nec auris audivit, nec in cor hominis ascendit, quæ præparavit Deus iis qui diligunt illum:
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.”
10nobis autem revelavit Deus per Spiritum suum: Spiritus enim omnia scrutatur, etiam profunda Dei.
10But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things 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.
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.
12Nos autem non spiritum hujus mundi accepimus, sed Spiritum qui ex Deo est, ut sciamus quæ a Deo donata sunt nobis:
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.
13quæ et loquimur non in doctis humanæ sapientiæ verbis, sed in doctrina Spiritus, spiritualibus spiritualia comparantes.
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.
14Animalis autem homo non percipit ea quæ sunt Spiritus Dei: stultitia enim est illi, et non potest intelligere: quia spiritualiter examinatur.
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.
15Spiritualis autem judicat omnia: et ipse a nemine judicatur.
15But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is to be judged by no one.
16Quis enim cognovit sensum Domini, qui instruat eum? nos autem sensum Christi habemus.
16“For who has known the mind of the Lord that he should instruct him?” But we have Christ’s mind.
