1 Corinto 2
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ang Kamatayan ni Cristo sa Krus
2 Mga kapatid, nang pumunta ako riyan upang ipahayag ang lihim na plano ng Dios, hindi ako gumamit ng malalalim na pananalita o karunungan. 2 Sapagkat ipinasya ko na wala akong ipangangaral sa inyo kundi si Jesu-Cristo lang at ang kanyang pagkapako sa krus. 3 Pumunta ako riyan na may kahinaan, at nanginginig pa sa takot. 4 At nang mangaral ako sa inyo, hindi ako gumamit ng matatamis na pananalita batay sa karunungan ng tao upang kumbinsihin kayo. Sa halip, pinatunayan ng Banal na Espiritu ang aking pangangaral sa pamamagitan ng kanyang kapangyarihan, 5 nang sa ganoon, hindi nakasalalay sa karunungan ng tao ang inyong pananampalataya kundi sa kapangyarihan ng Dios.
6 Kung sabagay, nagtuturo rin kami ng malalalim na karunungan sa mga matatag na sa pananampalataya, ngunit ang karunungang itoʼy hindi mula sa karunungan ng mundong ito, o sa mga namumuno sa mundong ito na nakatakda nang malipol. 7 Ang karunungang sinasabi ko ay ang karunungan ng Dios na kanyang inilihim noon. Itoʼy itinalaga niya para sa ating karangalan bago pa man niya likhain ang mundo. 8 Ang karunungang ito ay hindi naunawaan ng mga namumuno sa mundong ito. Sapagkat kung naunawaan nila, hindi sana nila ipinako sa krus ang dakilang Panginoon. 9 Ganito nga ang sinasabi ng Kasulatan,
“Wala pang taong nakakita, nakarinig, o nakaisip sa mga bagay na inihanda ng Dios para sa mga nagmamahal sa kanya.”[a]
10 Ngunit ang mga bagay na itoʼy ipinahayag na sa atin ng Dios sa pamamagitan ng kanyang Espiritu. Sapagkat ang lahat ng bagay ay nalalaman ng Espiritu, maging ang mga malalalim na kaisipan ng Dios. 11 Hindi baʼt walang nakakaalam sa iniisip ng isang tao maliban sa kanyang sariling espiritu? Ganoon din naman, walang nakakaalam sa iniisip ng Dios maliban sa kanyang Espiritu. 12 At ang Espiritu na ito ng Dios ang tinanggap nating mga mananampalataya, hindi ang espiritu ng mundong ito, upang maunawaan natin ang mga pagpapalang ibinigay sa atin ng Dios.
13 Kaya nga ipinangangaral namin ang mga bagay na ito sa pamamagitan ng mga salitang mula sa Banal na Espiritu at hindi mula sa karunungan ng tao. Ipinangangaral namin ang espiritwal na mga bagay sa mga taong pinananahanan ng Espiritu. 14 Ngunit sa taong hindi pinananahanan ng Espiritu ng Dios, hindi niya tinatanggap ang mga aral mula sa Espiritu, dahil para sa kanya itoʼy kamangmangan. At hindi niya ito nauunawaan, dahil ang mga bagay na itoʼy mauunawaan lamang sa tulong ng Espiritu. 15 Sa taong pinananahanan ng Espiritu, nauunawaan niya ang mga bagay na ito, ngunit hindi naman siya maunawaan ng mga tao na hindi pinananahanan ng Espiritu ng Dios. 16 Ayon nga sa sinasabi ng Kasulatan,
“Sino ba ang nakakaalam ng isip ng Panginoon?
Sino ba ang makakapagpayo sa kanya?”
Ngunit tayo, taglay natin ang pag-iisip ni Cristo, kaya nakakaunawa tayo.

1 Corinthians 2
King James Version
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.
2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
6 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:
7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
9 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.
10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11 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.
12 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.
13 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.
14 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.
15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.
1 Corinthians 2
Contemporary English Version
Telling about Christ and the Cross
2 Friends, when I came and told you the mystery[a] that God had shared with us, I didn't use big words or try to sound wise. 2 In fact, while I was with you, I made up my mind to speak only about Jesus Christ, who had been nailed to a cross.
3 (A) At first, I was weak and trembling with fear. 4 When I talked with you or preached, I didn't try to prove anything by sounding wise. I simply let God's Spirit show his power. 5 That way you would have faith because of God's power and not because of human wisdom.
6 We do use wisdom when speaking to people who are mature in their faith. But it isn't the wisdom of this world or of its rulers, who will soon disappear. 7 We speak of God's hidden and mysterious wisdom that God decided to use for our glory long before the world began. 8 (B) The rulers of this world didn't know anything about this wisdom. If they had known about it, they would not have nailed the glorious Lord to a cross. 9 (C) But it is just as the Scriptures say,
“What God has planned
for people who love him
is more than eyes have seen
or ears have heard.
It has never even
entered our minds!”
10 God's Spirit has shown you everything. His Spirit finds out everything, even what is deep in the mind of God. 11 You are the only one who knows what is in your own mind, and God's Spirit is the only one who knows what is in God's mind. 12 But God has given us his Spirit. This is why we don't think the same way that the people of this world think. This is also why we can recognize the blessings God has given us.
13 Every word we speak was taught to us by God's Spirit, not by human wisdom. And this same Spirit helps us teach spiritual things to spiritual people.[b] 14 This is why only someone who has God's Spirit can understand spiritual blessings. Anyone who doesn't have God's Spirit thinks these blessings are foolish. 15 People who are guided by the Spirit can make all kinds of judgments, but they cannot be judged by others. 16 (D) The Scriptures ask,
“Has anyone ever known
the thoughts of the Lord
or given him advice?”
But we understand what Christ is thinking.[c]
1 Corinthians 2
New International Version
2 And so it was with me, brothers and sisters. When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom(A) as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God.[a] 2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.(B) 3 I came to you(C) in weakness(D) with great fear and trembling.(E) 4 My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words,(F) but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power,(G) 5 so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power.(H)
God’s Wisdom Revealed by the Spirit
6 We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature,(I) but not the wisdom of this age(J) or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.(K) 7 No, we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery(L) that has been hidden(M) and that God destined for our glory before time began. 8 None of the rulers of this age(N) understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.(O) 9 However, as it is written:
“What no eye has seen,
what no ear has heard,
and what no human mind has conceived”[b]—
the things God has prepared for those who love him—(P)
10 these are the things God has revealed(Q) to us by his Spirit.(R)
The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. 11 For who knows a person’s thoughts(S) except their own spirit(T) within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 What we have received is not the spirit(U) of the world,(V) but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. 13 This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom(W) but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words.[c] 14 The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God(X) but considers them foolishness,(Y) and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. 15 The person with the Spirit(Z) makes judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgments, 16 for,
But we have the mind of Christ.(AB)
