1 Corinthians - douay rheims

Chapter 2

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 For I judged not myself to know anything among you, but 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 in the persuasive words of human wisdom, but in shewing of the Spirit and power;
⁵ That your faith might not stand on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.
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 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 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 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 But to us God hath revealed them, by this Spirit. For the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
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 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 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 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 But the spiritual man judgeth all things; and he himself is judged of no man.
¹⁶ For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that we may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

Chapter 2

¹ And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellence of speech, or of wisdom, declaring to 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 However, 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 naught:
⁷ But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the world to 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 to us by his Spirit; for the Spirit searcheth all things, even 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 from God; that we may know the things that are freely given to us by God.
¹³ Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Spirit teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
¹⁴ But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness to 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 by no man.
¹⁶ For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

Chapter 2

¹ I came to you, brothers, I didn't come with excellence of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.
² I determined not to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
³ was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.
⁴ speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
⁵ your faith wouldn't stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
⁶ speak wisdom, however, among those who are full grown; yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nothing.
⁷ we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory,
⁸ none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn't have crucified the Lord of glory.
⁹ as it is written, "Things which an eye didn't see, and an ear didn't hear, which didn't enter into the heart of man, these God has prepared for those who love him."
¹⁰ to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
¹¹ who among men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God, except God's Spirit.
¹² we received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that were freely given to us by God.
¹³ things also we speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.
¹⁴ the natural man doesn't receive the things of God's Spirit, for they are foolishness to him, and he can't know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
¹⁵ he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is judged by no one.
¹⁶ who has known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him?" But we have Christ's mind.

Chapter 2

¹ And *I*, when I came to you, brethren, came not in excellency of word, or wisdom, announcing to you the testimony of God.
² For I did not judge [it well] to know anything 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 word and my preaching, not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of [the] Spirit and of power;
⁵ that your faith might not stand in men's wisdom, but in God's power.
⁶ But we speak wisdom among the perfect; but wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who come to nought.
⁷ But we speak God's wisdom in [a] mystery, that hidden [wisdom] which God had predetermined before the ages for our glory:
⁸ which none of the princes of this age knew, (for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory;)
⁹ but according as it is written, Things which eye has not seen, and ear not heard, and which have not come into man's heart, which God has prepared for them that love him,
¹⁰ but God has revealed to us by [his] Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.
¹¹ For who of men hath known the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? thus also the things of God knows no one except the Spirit of God.
¹² But *we* have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which [is] of God, that we may know the things which have been freely given to us of God:
¹³ which also we speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, communicating spiritual [things] by spiritual [means].
¹⁴ But [the] natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him; and he cannot know [them] because they are spiritually discerned;
¹⁵ but the spiritual discerns all things, and *he* is discerned of no one.
¹⁶ For who has known the mind of [the] Lord, who shall instruct him? But *we* have the mind of Christ.

¹² But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is from God; that we might know the things that were freely given to us of God.
¹³ Which things also we speak, not in words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Spirit teacheth; combining spiritual things with spiritual [words].
¹⁴ Now the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him; and he cannot know them, because they are spiritually judged.
¹⁵ But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, and he himself is judged of no man.
¹⁶ For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

Chapter 2

¹ And when I came to you, my brothers, I did not come with wise words of knowledge, putting before you the secret of God.
² For I had made the decision to have knowledge of nothing among you but only of Jesus Christ on the cross.
³ And I was with you without strength, in fear and in doubt.
⁴ And in my preaching there were no honeyed words of wisdom, but I was dependent on the power of the Spirit to make it clear to you:
⁵ So that your faith might be based not on man's wisdom but on the power of God.
⁶ But still we have wisdom for those who are complete in knowledge, though not the wisdom of this world, and not of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nothing:
⁷ But we give the news of the secret wisdom of God, which he had kept in store before the world came into existence, for our glory;
⁸ Of which not one of the rulers of this world had knowledge: for if they had, they would not have put the Lord of glory on the cross:
⁹ But as it says in the holy Writings, Things which the eye saw not, and which had not come to the ears or into the heart of man, such things as God has made ready for those who have love for him.
¹⁰ But God has given us the revelation of these things through his Spirit, for the Spirit makes search into all things, even the deep things of God.
¹¹ For who has knowledge of the things of a man but the spirit of the man which is in him? in the same way, no one has knowledge of the things of God but the Spirit of God.
¹² But we have not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which comes from God, so that we may have knowledge of the things which are freely given to us by God.
¹³ And these are the things which we say, not in the language of man's wisdom, but in words given to us by the Spirit, judging the things of the spirit by the help of the Spirit.
¹⁴ For the natural man is not able to take in the things of the Spirit of God: for they seem foolish to him, and he is not able to have knowledge of them, because such knowledge comes only through the Spirit.
¹⁵ But he who has the Spirit, though judging all things, is himself judged by no one.
¹⁶ For who has knowledge of the mind of the Lord, so as to be his teacher? But we have the mind of Christ.
