1 Corintios 2

BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Pues yo, hermanos, cuando fui a vosotros, no fui con el prestigio de la palabra o de la sabiduría a anunciaros el misterio de Dios,	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.
2 pues no quise saber entre vosotros sino a Jesucristo, y éste crucificado.	2 For I did not judge myself to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
3 Y me presenté ante vosotros débil, tímido y tembloroso.	3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and with much trembling.
4 Y mi palabra y mi predicación no tuvieron nada de los persuasivos discursos de la sabiduría, sino que fueron una demostración del Espíritu y del poder	4 And my words and preaching were not the persuasive words of human wisdom, but were a manifestation of the Spirit and of virtue,
5 para que vuestra fe se fundase, no en sabiduría de hombres, sino en el poder de Dios.	5 so that your faith would not be based on the wisdom of men, but on the virtue of God.
6 Sin embargo, hablamos de sabiduría entre los perfectos, pero no de sabiduría de este mundo ni de los príncipes de este mundo, abocados a la ruina;	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.
7 sino que hablamos de una sabiduría de Dios, misteriosa, escondida, destinada por Dios desde antes de los siglos para gloria nuestra,	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,
8 desconocida de todos los príncipes de este mundo - pues de haberla conocido no hubieran crucificado al Señor de la Gloria -.	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.
9 Más bien, como dice la Escritura, anunciamos: lo que ni el ojo vio, ni el oído oyó, ni al corazón del hombre llegó, lo que Dios preparó para los que le aman.	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.”
10 Porque a nosotros nos lo reveló Dios por medio del Espíritu; y el Espíritu todo lo sondea, hasta las profundidades de Dios.	10 But God has revealed these things to us through his Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.
11 En efecto, ¿qué hombre conoce lo íntimo del hombre sino el espíritu del hombre que está en él? Del mismo modo, nadie conoce lo íntimo de Dios, sino el Espíritu de Dios.	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.
12 Y nosotros no hemos recibido el espíritu del mundo, sino el Espíritu que viene de Dios, para conocer las gracias que Dios nos ha otorgado,	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.
13 de las cuales también hablamos, no con palabras aprendidas de sabiduría humana, sino aprendidas del Espíritu, expresando realidades espirituales.	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.
14 El hombre naturalmente no capta las cosas del Espíritu de Dios; son necedad para él. Y no las puede conocer pues sólo espiritualmente pueden ser juzgadas.	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.
15 En cambio, el hombre de espíritu lo juzga todo; y a él nadie puede juzgarle.	15 But the spiritual nature of man judges all things, and he himself may be judged by no man.
16 Porque ¿quién conoció la mente del Señor para instruirle? Pero nosotros tenemos la mente de Cristo.	16 For who has known the mind of the Lord, so that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
