1 Corinthians 2

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NOVA VULGATA
1 And so, brothers, when I came to you, announcing to you the testimony of Christ, I did not bring exalted words or lofty wisdom.	1 Et ego, cum venissem ad vos,fratres, veni non per sublimita tem sermonis aut sapientiae annuntians vobismysterium Dei.
2 For I did not judge myself to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.	2 Non enim iudicavi scire me aliquid inter vos nisi IesumChristum et hunc crucifixum.
3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and with much trembling.	3 Et ego in infirmitate et timore et tremore multofui apud vos,
4 And my words and preaching were not the persuasive words of human wisdom, but were a manifestation of the Spirit and of virtue,	4 et sermo meus et praedicatio mea non in persuasibilibussapientiae verbis sed in ostensione Spiritus et virtutis,
5 so that your faith would not be based on the wisdom of men, but on the virtue of God.	5 ut fides vestra nonsit in sapientia hominum sed in virtute Dei.
6 Now, we do speak wisdom among the perfect, yet truly, this is not the wisdom of this age, nor that of the leaders of this age, which shall be reduced to nothing.	6 Sapientiam autem loquimur inter perfectos, sapientiam vero non huius saeculineque principum huius saeculi, qui destruuntur,
7 Instead, we speak of the wisdom of God in a mystery which has been hidden, which God predestined before this age for our glory,	7 sed loquimur Dei sapientiam inmysterio, quae abscondita est, quam praedestinavit Deus ante saecula in gloriamnostram,
8 something that none of the leaders of this world have known. For if they had known it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory.	8 quam nemo principum huius saeculi cognovit; si enim cognovissent,numquam Dominum gloriae crucifixissent.
9 But this is just as it has been written: “The eye has not seen, and the ear has not heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man, what things God has prepared for those who love him.”	9 Sed sicut scriptum est: “ Quodoculus non vidit, nec auris audivit, nec in cor hominis ascendit, quaepraeparavit Deus his, qui diligunt illum ”.
10 But God has revealed these things to us through his Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.	10 Nobis autem revelavit Deus per Spiritum; Spiritus enim omnia scrutatur, etiamprofunda Dei.
11 And who can know the things that are of a man, except the spirit which is within that man? So also, no one knows the things which are of God, except the Spirit of God.	11 Quis enim scit hominum, quae sint hominis, nisi spiritushominis, qui in ipso est? Ita et, quae Dei sunt, nemo cognovit nisi SpiritusDei.
12 But we have not received the spirit of this world, but the Spirit who is of God, so that we may understand the things that have been given to us by God.	12 Nos autem non spiritum mundi accepimus, sed Spiritum, qui ex Deo est, utsciamus, quae a Deo donata sunt nobis;
13 And we are also speaking of these things, not in the learned words of human wisdom, but in the doctrine of the Spirit, bringing spiritual things together with spiritual things.	13 quae et loquimur non in doctis humanaesapientiae sed in doctis Spiritus verbis, spiritalibus spiritalia comparantes.
14 But the animal nature of man does not perceive these things that are of the Spirit of God. For it is foolishness to him, and he is not able to understand it, because it must be examined spiritually.	14 Animalis autem homo non percipit, quae sunt Spiritus Dei, stultitia enim suntilli, et non potest intellegere, quia spiritaliter examinantur;
15 But the spiritual nature of man judges all things, and he himself may be judged by no man.	15 spiritalisautem iudicat omnia, et ipse a nemine iudicatur.
16 For who has known the mind of the Lord, so that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.	16 Quis enim cognovit sensum Domini, qui instruat eum? Nos autem sensum Christi habemus.
