¹And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.

¹Arī es, brāļi, pie jums nākdams, nenācu ar augstu valodu vai gudrību, lai pasludinātu jums Kristus liecību.

²For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

²Jo es nolēmu starp jums nezināt neko citu, kā vienīgi Jēzu Kristu, un Viņu vēl krustā sistu.

³And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.

³Un es biju pie jums nespēcīgs un bailēs, un lielās bažās;

⁴And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

⁴Un mana mācība, un mana sludināšana nenotika pārliecinātājos cilvēka gudrības vārdos, bet gara un spēka izpausmē,

⁵That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

⁵Lai jūsu ticība būtu pamatota ne cilvēku gudrībā, bet Dieva spēkā.

⁶Howbeit 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 nought:

⁶Pilnīgajiem arī mēs sludinām gudrību, bet ne šīs pasaules un ne šīs pasaules valdnieku gudrību, kas iznīkst;

⁷But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

⁷Bet mēs sludinām noslēpumaino un apslēpto Dieva gudrību, ko Dievs pirms mūžiem paredzējis mūsu godam.

⁸Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

⁸To neviens no šīs pasaules valdniekiem nav atzinis, jo, ja viņi būtu atzinuši, tad viņi nekad godības Kungu nebūtu krustā situši.

⁹But 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.

⁹Bet tā ir, kā rakstīts: Ko acs nav redzējusi ne auss dzirdējusi, ne cilvēka sirdī nācis, to Dievs sagatavojis tiem, kas Viņu mīl.

¹⁰But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

¹⁰Un Dievs mums to atklāja caur savu Garu, jo Gars izdibina visu, pat Dieva dziļumus.

¹¹For 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.

¹¹Jo kurš no cilvēkiem pazīst cilvēku būtību, ja ne cilvēka gars, kas viņā ir? Tāpat arī Dieva būtību neviens nepazīst kā tikai Dieva Gars.

¹²Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

¹²Bet mēs neesam saņēmuši šīs pasaules garu, bet to Garu, kas ir no Dieva, lai mēs zinātu, ko Dievs mums dāvājis.

¹³Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

¹³To mēs arī runājam ne iemācītos cilvēka gudrības vārdos, bet mēs, kā Gars mācījis, garīgo paskaidrojam garīgi.

¹⁴But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

¹⁴Miesīgais cilvēks neaptver to, kas nāk no Dieva Gara, jo tas viņam ir neprātība, un viņš nevar saprast, ka tas jāapsver garīgi.

¹⁵But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

¹⁵Turpretī garīgais izdibina visu, bet viņu pašu neviens neizdibina.

¹⁶For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

¹⁶Jo kas ir izpratis Kunga prātu, lai Viņu pamācītu? Bet mums ir Kristus prāts.
