1 Corintios 2
Nueva Versión Internacional (Castilian)
2 Yo mismo, hermanos, cuando fui a anunciaros el testimonio[a] de Dios, no lo hice con gran elocuencia y sabiduría. 2 Me propuse más bien, estando entre vosotros, no saber de cosa alguna, excepto de Jesucristo, y de este crucificado. 3 Es más, me presenté ante vosotros con tanta debilidad que temblaba de miedo. 4 No os hablé ni os prediqué con palabras sabias y elocuentes, sino con demostración del poder del Espíritu, 5 para que vuestra fe no dependiera de la sabiduría humana, sino del poder de Dios.
Sabiduría procedente del Espíritu
6 En cambio, hablamos con sabiduría entre los que han alcanzado madurez,[b] pero no con la sabiduría de este mundo ni con la de sus gobernantes, los cuales terminarán en nada. 7 Más bien, exponemos el misterio de la sabiduría de Dios, una sabiduría que ha estado escondida y que Dios había destinado para nuestra gloria desde la eternidad. 8 Ninguno de los gobernantes de este mundo la entendió, porque de haberla entendido no habrían crucificado al Señor de la gloria. 9 Sin embargo, como está escrito:
«Ningún ojo ha visto,
ningún oído ha escuchado,
ninguna mente humana ha concebido
lo que Dios ha preparado para quienes lo aman».[c]
10 Ahora bien, Dios nos ha revelado esto por medio de su Espíritu, pues el Espíritu lo examina todo, hasta las profundidades de Dios. 11 En efecto, ¿quién conoce los pensamientos del ser humano sino su propio espíritu que está en él? Así mismo, nadie conoce los pensamientos de Dios sino el Espíritu de Dios. 12 Nosotros no hemos recibido el espíritu del mundo, sino el Espíritu que procede de Dios, para que entendamos lo que por su gracia él nos ha concedido. 13 Esto es precisamente de lo que hablamos, no con las palabras que enseña la sabiduría humana, sino con las que enseña el Espíritu, de modo que expresamos verdades espirituales en términos espirituales.[d] 14 El que no tiene el Espíritu[e] no acepta lo que procede del Espíritu de Dios, pues para él es locura. No puede entenderlo, porque hay que discernirlo espiritualmente. 15 En cambio, el que es espiritual lo juzga todo, aunque él mismo no está sujeto al juicio de nadie, porque
16 «¿quién ha conocido la mente del Señor
para que pueda instruirlo?»[f]
Nosotros, por nuestra parte, tenemos la mente de Cristo.

The Message of Christ’s Death
2 Dear brothers and sisters, when I came to you, I did not come preaching God’s ·secret[a] [mystery; C something God had not previously disclosed; Eph. 1:9] with ·fancy [superior; eloquent] words or a show of human wisdom. 2 [L For] I ·decided [resolved] that while I was with you I would ·forget about everything [L not know anything] except Jesus Christ and his death on the cross. 3 So when I came to you, I was weak and fearful and trembling. 4 My ·teaching [message; speech] and preaching were not with words of human wisdom that ·persuade [or entice] people but with ·proof of the power that the Spirit gives [or proof powerfully revealed by the Spirit; or demonstrations of the Spirit and of power]. 5 This was so that your faith would be in God’s power and not in human wisdom.
God’s Wisdom
6 However, we speak wisdom to those who are mature. But this wisdom is not from this ·world [age] or from the rulers of this ·world [age], who ·are losing their power [will soon disappear; are passing away]. 7 We speak God’s ·secret wisdom [or wisdom in a mystery; 2:1], which he has kept hidden. Before the ·world began [ages], God ·planned [decreed; destined] this wisdom for our glory. 8 None of the rulers of this ·world [age] understood it. If they had, they would not have crucified the ·Lord of glory [glorious Lord]. 9 But as it is written in the Scriptures:
“No ·one [L eye] has ever seen this,
and no ·one [L ear] has ever heard about it.
No ·one [L human heart] has ever imagined
what God has prepared for those who love him [Is. 64:4].”
10 But God has ·shown [revealed to] us these things through the Spirit.
[L For] The Spirit ·searches out [examines; scrutinizes] all things, even the ·deep secrets [deep things; depths] of God. 11 Who knows the thoughts that another person has? Only a person’s spirit that lives within him knows his thoughts. It is the same with God. No one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we did not receive the spirit of the world, but we received the Spirit that is from God so that we can know all that God has [freely] given us. 13 And we speak about these things, not with words taught us by human wisdom but with words taught us by the Spirit. And so we explain spiritual truths ·to spiritual people [or to those who have the Spirit; or with the Spirit’s words]. 14 A ·person who does not have the Spirit [or natural person] does not accept the ·truths [L things] that come from the Spirit of God. That person thinks they are foolish and cannot understand them, because they can only be ·judged to be true [discerned; assessed] by the Spirit. 15 The ·spiritual person [or person with the Spirit] is able to ·judge [discern; assess] all things, but no one can ·judge [discern; assess] him. ·The Scripture says [L For]:
16 “Who has known the mind of the Lord?
Who has been able to ·teach [advise; counsel] him [Is. 40:13]?”
But we have the mind of Christ [C the Holy Spirit reveals God and his ways to us; Rom. 11:34].
