Si Cristo na Ipinako sa Krus

Mga kapatid, nang pumunta ako sa inyo, hindi ako dumating na nagbabalita sa inyo ng hiwaga[a] ng Diyos ayon sa kahusayan ng pananalita o ng karunungan. Sapagkat napagpasyahan ko noong kasama ninyo ako na walang anumang makilala, maliban kay Jesu-Cristo, siya na ipinako sa krus. Ako nga'y nakasama ninyo nang may kahinaan, may takot, at matinding panginginig. Ang aking pananalita at ang aking pangangaral ay hindi sa pamamagitan ng mga mapanghikayat na salita ng karunungan, kundi sa pagpapakita ng kapangyarihan ng Espiritu, upang ang inyong pananampalataya ay hindi mapasalig sa karunungan ng mga tao, kundi sa kapangyarihan ng Diyos.

Ang Pagpapahayag ng Banal na Espiritu ng Diyos

Ngunit sa mga nasa hustong gulang ay nagsasalita kami ng karunungan, gayunma'y hindi ang karunungan ng kapanahunang ito, o ng mga pinuno sa kapanahunang ito, na pawang mawawalan ng kabuluhan. Sa halip, ang sinasabi namin ay ang hiwaga at itinagong karunungan ng Diyos, na kanyang itinalaga bago pa nagkaroon ng mga panahon para sa kaluwalhatian natin. Wala ni isa man sa mga pinuno ng kapanahunang ito ang nakaalam nito, sapagkat kung ito'y nalaman nila, hindi sana nila ipinako sa krus ang Panginoon ng kaluwalhatian. Subalit tulad ng nasusulat,

“Ang mga bagay na hindi nakita ng mata, at hindi narinig ng tainga,
    at hindi pumasok sa puso ng tao,
ay ang mga bagay na inihanda ng Diyos para sa kanila na nagmamahal sa kanya.”

10 Ngunit ipinahayag ito sa amin ng Diyos sa pamamagitan ng Espiritu; sapagkat sinisiyasat ng Espiritu ang lahat ng bagay, pati ang malalalim na bagay tungkol ng Diyos. 11 Sapagkat sino ang nakaaalam ng mga iniisip ng isang tao, kundi ang espiritu ng tao na nasa kanya? Gayundin naman, walang nakaaalam ng mga iniisip ng Diyos, kundi ang Espiritu ng Diyos. 12 Kami ay tumanggap, hindi ng espiritu ng sanlibutan, kundi ng Espiritung mula sa Diyos, upang malaman namin ang mga bagay na walang bayad na ipinagkaloob sa amin ng Diyos. 13 At ang mga bagay namang ito ay ipinapahayag namin hindi sa pamamagitan ng mga salitang ayon sa pagtuturo ng karunungan ng tao, kundi sa pagtuturo ng Espiritu, na aming ipinapaunawa ang mga bagay na espirituwal sa mga espirituwal. 14 Ngunit ang taong di-espirituwal ay hindi tumatanggap ng mga bagay ng Espiritu ng Diyos, sapagkat kahangalan ang mga iyon sa kanya at hindi niya iyon nauunawaan, yamang ang mga iyon ay hinahatulan sa espirituwal na paraan. 15 Hinahatulan naman ng taong espirituwal ang lahat ng mga bagay, at hindi siya hinahatulan ng sinuman. 16 “Sapagkat sino ang nakaaalam sa pag-iisip ng Panginoon, upang magpayo sa kanya?” Subalit taglay namin[b] ang pag-iisip ni Cristo.

Paul’s Approach to Ministry in Corinth

And I, when I[a] came to you, brothers, did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony[b] of God. For I decided not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. And I came to you in weakness and in fear and with much trembling, and my speech and my preaching were not with the persuasiveness[c] of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit and power, in order that your faith would not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

The Wisdom Revealed by the Spirit

Now we do speak wisdom among the mature, but wisdom not of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are perishing, but we speak the hidden wisdom of God in a mystery, which God predestined before the ages for our glory, which none of the rulers of this age knew. For if they had known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But just as it is written,

Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard,
    and have not entered into the heart of man,
all that[d] God has prepared for those who love him.”[e]

10 For[f] to us God has revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. 11 For who among men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of the man that is in him? Thus also no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, in order that we may know the things freely given to us by God, 13 things which we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual things to spiritual people.[g] 14 But the natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he is not able to understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 Now the spiritual person discerns all things, but he himself is judged by no one. 16 “For who has known the mind of the Lord; who has advised him?”[h] But we have the mind of Christ.

And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not in the highness of word, either of wisdom [or of wisdom], telling to you the witnessing of Christ.

For I deemed not [in] me to know any thing among you, but Christ Jesus, and him crucified.

And I in frailty, and dread, and in much trembling, was among you; [And I in sickness, and dread, and much trembling, was with you;]

and my word and my preaching was not in subtly stirring words of man's wisdom, but in showing of Spirit and of virtue;

that your faith be not in the wisdom of men, but in the virtue of God.

For we speak wisdom among perfect men, but not wisdom of this world, neither of princes of this world, that be destroyed;

but we speak the wisdom of God in mystery, which wisdom is hid; which wisdom God before-ordained before worlds into our glory [the which God before-ordained before worlds into our glory],

which none of the princes of this world knew; for if they had known, they should never have crucified the Lord of glory.

But as it is written, That eye saw not, nor ear heard, neither it ascended into the heart of man, what things God arrayed to them that love him [what things God made ready before to them that love him];

10 but God showed to us by his Spirit. For why the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

11 And who of men knoweth, what things be of man, but the spirit of man that is in him? So [and] what things be of God, no man knoweth, but the Spirit of God.

12 And we have not received the spirit of this world, but the Spirit that is of God, that we know what things be given to us of God.

13 Which things we speak also, not in wise words of man's wisdom, but in the doctrine of the Spirit, and make a likeness of spiritual things to ghostly men. [The which things we speak, not in taught words of man's wisdom, but in doctrine of the Spirit, comparisoning spiritual things to ghostly men.]

14 For a beastly man perceiveth not those things that be of the Spirit of God; for it is folly to him, and he may not understand, for it is examined ghostly [for it is examined, or assayed, ghostly].

15 But a spiritual man deemeth all things, and he is deemed of no man.

16 As it is written, And who knew the wit of the Lord, or who taught him? And we have the wit of Christ.
