Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1When I came to you, brothers, I didn’t come with excellence of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.
1καγω ελθων προσ υμασ αδελφοι ηλθον ου καθ υπεροχην λογου η σοφιασ καταγγελλων υμιν το μαρτυριον του θεου
2For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
2ου γαρ εκρινα του ειδεναι τι εν υμιν ει μη ιησουν χριστον και τουτον εσταυρωμενον
3I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.
3και εγω εν ασθενεια και εν φοβω και εν τρομω πολλω εγενομην προσ υμασ
4My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
4και ο λογοσ μου και το κηρυγμα μου ουκ εν πειθοισ ανθρωπινησ σοφιασ λογοισ αλλ εν αποδειξει πνευματοσ και δυναμεωσ
5that your faith wouldn’t stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
5ινα η πιστισ υμων μη η εν σοφια ανθρωπων αλλ εν δυναμει θεου
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.
6σοφιαν δε λαλουμεν εν τοισ τελειοισ σοφιαν δε ου του αιωνοσ τουτου ουδε των αρχοντων του αιωνοσ τουτου των καταργουμενων
7But we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory,
7αλλα λαλουμεν σοφιαν θεου εν μυστηριω την αποκεκρυμμενην ην προωρισεν ο θεοσ προ των αιωνων εισ δοξαν ημων
8which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn’t have crucified the Lord of glory.
8ην ουδεισ των αρχοντων του αιωνοσ τουτου εγνωκεν ει γαρ εγνωσαν ουκ αν τον κυριον τησ δοξησ εσταυρωσαν
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.”
9αλλα καθωσ γεγραπται α οφθαλμοσ ουκ ειδεν και ουσ ουκ ηκουσεν και επι καρδιαν ανθρωπου ουκ ανεβη α ητοιμασεν ο θεοσ τοισ αγαπωσιν αυτον
10But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
10ημιν δε ο θεοσ απεκαλυψεν δια του πνευματοσ αυτου το γαρ πνευμα παντα ερευνα και τα βαθη του θεου
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.
11τισ γαρ οιδεν ανθρωπων τα του ανθρωπου ει μη το πνευμα του ανθρωπου το εν αυτω ουτωσ και τα του θεου ουδεισ οιδεν ει μη το πνευμα του θεου
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.
12ημεισ δε ου το πνευμα του κοσμου ελαβομεν αλλα το πνευμα το εκ του θεου ινα ειδωμεν τα υπο του θεου χαρισθεντα ημιν
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.
13α και λαλουμεν ουκ εν διδακτοισ ανθρωπινησ σοφιασ λογοισ αλλ εν διδακτοισ πνευματοσ αγιου πνευματικοισ 4152 A-DPN πνευματικα συγκρινοντεσ
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.
14ψυχικοσ δε ανθρωποσ ου δεχεται τα του πνευματοσ του θεου μωρια γαρ αυτω εστιν και ου δυναται γνωναι οτι πνευματικωσ ανακρινεται
15But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is to be judged by no one.
15ο δε πνευματικοσ ανακρινει μεν παντα αυτοσ δε υπ ουδενοσ ανακρινεται
16“For who has known the mind of the Lord that he should instruct him?” But we have Christ’s mind.
16τισ γαρ εγνω νουν κυριου οσ συμβιβασει αυτον ημεισ δε νουν χριστου εχομεν
