1 Corinto 2
Ang Biblia (1978)
2 At ako, mga kapatid, nang pumariyan sa inyo, ay (A)hindi ako napariyan na may kagalingan sa pananalita o sa karunungan, na nagbabalita sa inyo (B)ng patotoo ng Dios.
2 Sapagka't aking pinasiyahang walang maalaman anoman sa gitna ninyo, (C)maliban na si Jesucristo, at siya na napako sa krus.
3 At ako'y nakisama sa inyo (D)na may kahinaan, at may katakutan, at may lubhang panginginig.
4 At ang aking pananalita at ang aking pangangaral ay hindi sa mga salitang panghikayat ng karunungan, kundi (E)sa patotoo ng Espiritu at ng kapangyarihan:
5 Upang ang inyong pananampalataya ay huwag masalig sa karunungan ng mga tao, kundi (F)sa kapangyarihan ng Dios.
6 Gayon man, ay nangagsasalita kami ng karunungan (G)sa mga may gulang: bagaman hindi ng karunungan (H)ng sanglibutang ito, o ng mga may kapangyarihan sa sanglibutang ito, na ang mga ito'y nangauuwi sa wala:
7 Kundi sinasalita namin ang karunungan ng Dios sa hiwaga, (I)yaong karunungan na itinalaga ng Dios, bago nilalang ang mga sanglibutan sa ikaluluwalhati natin:
8 (J)Na hindi napagkilala ng sinomang pinuno sa sanglibutang ito: sapagka't (K)kung nakilala sana nila, ay dising di ipinako sa krus ang (L)Panginoon ng kaluwalhatian:
9 Datapuwa't gaya ng nasusulat,
(M)Ang mga bagay na hindi nakita ng mata, at ni narinig ng tainga,
Ni hindi pumasok sa puso ng tao,
Anomang mga bagay na (N)inihanda ng Dios sa kanila na nangagsisiibig sa kaniya.
10 Nguni't ang mga ito ay ipinahayag sa atin (O)ng Dios sa pamamagitan ng Espiritu; sapagka't nasisiyasat ng Espiritu ang lahat ng mga bagay, oo, ang malalalim na mga bagay ng Dios.
11 Sapagka't sino sa mga tao ang nakakakilala ng mga bagay ng tao, kundi ang espiritu ng tao, na nasa kaniya? gayon din naman ang mga bagay ng Dios ay hindi nakikilala ng sinoman, maliban na (P)ng Espiritu ng Dios.
12 Nguni't (Q)ating tinanggap, hindi ang espiritu ng sanglibutan, kundi ang espiritung mula sa Dios; upang ating mapagkilala ang mga bagay na sa atin ay ibinigay na walang bayad ng Dios.
13 Na ang mga bagay na ito ay atin namang sinasalita, (R)hindi sa mga salitang itinuturo ng karunungan ng tao, kundi sa itinuturo ng Espiritu; na (S)iniwawangis natin ang mga bagay na ayon sa espiritu sa mga pananalitang ayon sa espiritu.
14 Nguni't ang (T)taong ayon sa laman ay hindi tumatanggap ng mga bagay ng Espiritu ng Dios: (U)sapagka't ang mga ito ay kamangmangan sa kaniya; at (V)hindi niya nauunawa, sapagka't ang mga yaon ay sinisiyasat ayon sa espiritu.
15 Nguni't ang sa espiritu ay nagsisiyasat sa lahat ng mga bagay, at siya'y hindi sinisiyasat ng sinoman.
16 Sapagka't (W)sino ang nakakilala ng pagiisip ng Panginoon, upang siya'y turuan niya? Datapuwa't (X)nasa atin ang pagiisip ni Cristo.
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
English Standard Version
Proclaiming Christ Crucified
2 And I, when I came to you, brothers,[a] (A)did not come proclaiming to you (B)the testimony[b] of God with lofty speech or wisdom. 2 For I decided to know nothing among you except (C)Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3 And (D)I was with you (E)in weakness and in fear and much trembling, 4 and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of (F)the Spirit and of power, 5 so that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men[c] but (G)in the power of God.
Wisdom from the Spirit
6 Yet among (H)the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not (I)a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, (J)who are doomed to pass away. 7 But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, (K)which God decreed before the ages for our glory. 8 None of (L)the rulers of this age understood this, for (M)if they had, they would not have crucified (N)the Lord of glory. 9 But, as it is written,
(O)“What no eye has seen, nor ear heard,
nor the heart of man imagined,
what God has (P)prepared (Q)for those who love him”—
10 these things (R)God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even (S)the depths of God. 11 For who knows a person's thoughts (T)except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now (U)we have received not (V)the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. 13 And we impart this (W)in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, (X)interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual.[d]
14 The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are (Y)folly to him, and (Z)he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. 15 The (AA)spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. 16 (AB)“For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But (AC)we have the mind of Christ.

Paul’s Message of Wisdom
2 When I first came to you, dear brothers and sisters,[a] I didn’t use lofty words and impressive wisdom to tell you God’s secret plan.[b] 2 For I decided that while I was with you I would forget everything except Jesus Christ, the one who was crucified. 3 I came to you in weakness—timid and trembling. 4 And my message and my preaching were very plain. Rather than using clever and persuasive speeches, I relied only on the power of the Holy Spirit. 5 I did this so you would trust not in human wisdom but in the power of God.
6 Yet when I am among mature believers, I do speak with words of wisdom, but not the kind of wisdom that belongs to this world or to the rulers of this world, who are soon forgotten. 7 No, the wisdom we speak of is the mystery of God[c]—his plan that was previously hidden, even though he made it for our ultimate glory before the world began. 8 But the rulers of this world have not understood it; if they had, they would not have crucified our glorious Lord. 9 That is what the Scriptures mean when they say,
“No eye has seen, no ear has heard,
and no mind has imagined
what God has prepared
for those who love him.”[d]
10 But[e] it was to us that God revealed these things by his Spirit. For his Spirit searches out everything and shows us God’s deep secrets. 11 No one can know a person’s thoughts except that person’s own spirit, and no one can know God’s thoughts except God’s own Spirit. 12 And we have received God’s Spirit (not the world’s spirit), so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us.
13 When we tell you these things, we do not use words that come from human wisdom. Instead, we speak words given to us by the Spirit, using the Spirit’s words to explain spiritual truths.[f] 14 But people who aren’t spiritual[g] can’t receive these truths from God’s Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them and they can’t understand it, for only those who are spiritual can understand what the Spirit means. 15 Those who are spiritual can evaluate all things, but they themselves cannot be evaluated by others. 16 For,
“Who can know the Lord’s thoughts?
Who knows enough to teach him?”[h]
But we understand these things, for we have the mind of Christ.
