I Corinthians 2

And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.

et ego cum venissem ad vos fratres veni non per sublimitatem sermonis aut sapientiae adnuntians vobis testimonium Christi

For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

non enim iudicavi scire me aliquid inter vos nisi Iesum Christum et hunc crucifixum

And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.

et ego in infirmitate et timore et tremore multo fui apud vos

And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

et sermo meus et praedicatio mea non in persuasibilibus sapientiae verbis sed in ostensione Spiritus et virtutis

That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

ut fides vestra non sit in sapientia hominum sed in virtute Dei

Howbeit 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:

sapientiam autem loquimur inter perfectos sapientiam vero non huius saeculi neque principum huius saeculi qui destruuntur

But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

sed loquimur Dei sapientiam in mysterio quae abscondita est quam praedestinavit Deus ante saecula in gloriam nostram

Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

quam nemo principum huius saeculi cognovit si enim cognovissent numquam Dominum gloriae crucifixissent

But 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.

sed sicut scriptum est quod oculus non vidit nec auris audivit nec in cor hominis ascendit quae praeparavit Deus his qui diligunt illum

But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

nobis autem revelavit Deus per Spiritum suum Spiritus enim omnia scrutatur etiam profunda Dei

For 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.

quis enim scit hominum quae sint hominis nisi spiritus hominis qui in ipso est ita et quae Dei sunt nemo cognovit nisi Spiritus Dei

Now 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.

nos autem non spiritum mundi accepimus sed Spiritum qui ex Deo est ut sciamus quae a Deo donata sunt nobis

Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

quae et loquimur non in doctis humanae sapientiae verbis sed in doctrina Spiritus spiritalibus spiritalia conparantes

But 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.

animalis autem homo non percipit ea quae sunt Spiritus Dei stultitia est enim illi et non potest intellegere quia spiritaliter examinatur

But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

spiritalis autem iudicat omnia et ipse a nemine iudicatur

For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

quis enim cognovit sensum Domini qui instruat eum nos autem sensum Christi habemus
