Prima lettera ai Corinzi 2

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Et ego, cum venissem ad vos,fratres, veni non per sublimita tem sermonis aut sapientiae annuntians vobismysterium Dei.	1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not in loftiness of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of Christ.
2 Non enim iudicavi scire me aliquid inter vos nisi IesumChristum et hunc crucifixum.	2 For I judged not myself to know anything among you, but Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
3 Et ego in infirmitate et timore et tremore multofui apud vos,	3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
4 et sermo meus et praedicatio mea non in persuasibilibussapientiae verbis sed in ostensione Spiritus et virtutis,	4 And my speech and my preaching was not in the persuasive words of human wisdom, but in shewing of the Spirit and power;
5 ut fides vestra nonsit in sapientia hominum sed in virtute Dei.	5 That your faith might not stand on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.
6 Sapientiam autem loquimur inter perfectos, sapientiam vero non huius saeculineque principum huius saeculi, qui destruuntur,	6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among the perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, neither of the princes of this world that come to nought;
7 sed loquimur Dei sapientiam inmysterio, quae abscondita est, quam praedestinavit Deus ante saecula in gloriamnostram,	7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, a wisdom which is hidden, which God ordained before the world, unto our glory :
8 quam nemo principum huius saeculi cognovit; si enim cognovissent,numquam Dominum gloriae crucifixissent.	8 Which none of the princes of this world knew; for if they had known it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory.
9 Sed sicut scriptum est: “ Quodoculus non vidit, nec auris audivit, nec in cor hominis ascendit, quaepraeparavit Deus his, qui diligunt illum ”.	9 But, as it is written: That eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that love him.
10 Nobis autem revelavit Deus per Spiritum; Spiritus enim omnia scrutatur, etiamprofunda Dei.	10 But to us God hath revealed them, by this Spirit. For the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things 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.	11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, but the spirit of a man that is in him? So the things also that are of God no man knoweth, but the Spirit of God.
12 Nos autem non spiritum mundi accepimus, sed Spiritum, qui ex Deo est, utsciamus, quae a Deo donata sunt nobis;	12 Now we have received not the spirit of this world, but the Spirit that is of God; that we may know the things that are given us from God.
13 quae et loquimur non in doctis humanaesapientiae sed in doctis Spiritus verbis, spiritalibus spiritalia comparantes.	13 Which things also we speak, not in the learned words of human wisdom; but in the doctrine of the Spirit, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 Animalis autem homo non percipit, quae sunt Spiritus Dei, stultitia enim suntilli, et non potest intellegere, quia spiritaliter examinantur;	14 But the sensual man perceiveth not these things that are of the Spirit of God; for it is foolishness to him, and he cannot understand, because it is spiritually examined.
15 spiritalisautem iudicat omnia, et ipse a nemine iudicatur.	15 But the spiritual man judgeth all things; and he himself is judged of no man.
16 Quis enim cognovit sensum Domini, qui instruat eum? Nos autem sensum Christi habemus.	16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that we may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
