1 Corinthians 2

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
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 Και εγω, αδελφοι, οτε ηλθον προς εσας, ηλθον ουχι με υπεροχην λογου η σοφιας κηρυττων εις εσας την μαρτυριαν του Θεου.
2 For I did not judge myself to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.	2 Διοτι απεφασισα να μη εξευρω μεταξυ σας αλλο τι ειμη Ιησουν Χριστον, και τουτον εσταυρωμενον.
3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and with much trembling.	3 Και εγω ηλθον προς εσας με ασθενειαν και με φοβον και με τρομον πολυν,
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 και ο λογος μου και το κηρυγμα μου δεν εγινοντο με καταπειστικους λογους ανθρωπινης σοφιας, αλλα με αποδειξιν Πνευματος και δυναμεως,
5 so that your faith would not be based on the wisdom of men, but on the virtue of God.	5 δια να ηναι η πιστις σας ουχι δια της σοφιας των ανθρωπων, αλλα δια της δυναμεως του Θεου.
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 Λαλουμεν δε σοφιαν μεταξυ των τελειων, σοφιαν ομως ουχι του αιωνος τουτου, ουδε των αρχοντων του αιωνος τουτου, των φθειρομενων?
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 αλλα λαλουμεν σοφιαν Θεου μυστηριωδη, την αποκεκρυμμενην, την οποιαν προωρισεν ο Θεος προ των αιωνων εις δοξαν ημων,
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 την οποιαν ουδεις των αρχοντων του αιωνος τουτου εγνωρισε? διοτι αν ηθελον γνωρισει, δεν ηθελον σταυρωσει τον Κυριον της δοξης?
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 αλλα καθως ειναι γεγραμμενον, Εκεινα τα οποια οφθαλμος δεν ειδε και ωτιον δεν ηκουσε και εις καρδιαν ανθρωπου δεν ανεβησαν, τα οποια ο Θεος ητοιμασεν εις τους αγαπωντας αυτον.
10 But God has revealed these things to us through his Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.	10 Εις ημας δε ο Θεος απεκαλυψεν αυτα δια του Πνευματος αυτου? επειδη το Πνευμα ερευνα τα παντα και τα βαθη του Θεου.
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 Διοτι τις των ανθρωπων γινωσκει τα του ανθρωπου, ειμη το πνευμα του ανθρωπου το εν αυτω; Ουτω και τα του Θεου ουδεις γινωσκει ειμη το Πνευμα του Θεου.
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 Αλλ' ημεις δεν ελαβομεν το πνευμα του κοσμου, αλλα το πνευμα το εκ του Θεου, δια να γνωρισωμεν τα υπο του Θεου χαρισθεντα εις ημας.
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 Τα οποια και λαλουμεν ουχι με διδακτους λογους ανθρωπινης σοφιας, αλλα με διδακτους του Πνευματος του Αγιου, συγκρινοντες τα πνευματικα προς τα πνευματικα.
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 Ο φυσικος ομως ανθρωπος δεν δεχεται τα του Πνευματος του Θεου? διοτι ειναι μωρια εις αυτον, και δεν δυναται να γνωριση αυτα, διοτι πνευματικως ανακρινονται.
15 But the spiritual nature of man judges all things, and he himself may be judged by no man.	15 Ο δε πνευματικος ανακρινει μεν παντα, αυτος δε υπ' ουδενος ανακρινεται.
16 For who has known the mind of the Lord, so that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.	16 Διοτι τις εγνωρισε τον νουν του Κυριου, ωστε να διδαξη αυτον; ημεις ομως εχομεν νουν Χριστου.
