¹وانا لما أتيت اليكم ايها الاخوة أتيت ليس بسمو الكلام او الحكمة مناديا لكم بشهادة الله.

¹And *I*, when I came to you, brethren, came not in excellency of word, or wisdom, announcing to you the testimony of God.

²لاني لم أعزم ان اعرف شيئا بينكم الا يسوع المسيح واياه مصلوبا.

²For I did not judge [it well] to know anything among you save Jesus Christ, and *him* crucified.

³وانا كنت عندكم في ضعف وخوف ورعدة كثيرة.

³And *I* was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling;

⁴وكلامي وكرازتي لم يكونا بكلام الحكمة الانسانية المقنع بل ببرهان الروح والقوة

⁴and my word and my preaching, not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of [the] Spirit and of power;

⁵لكي لا يكون ايمانكم بحكمة الناس بل بقوة الله

⁵that your faith might not stand in men's wisdom, but in God's power.

⁶لكننا نتكلم بحكمة بين الكاملين ولكن بحكمة ليست من هذا الدهر ولا من عظماء هذا الدهر الذين يبطلون.

⁶But we speak wisdom among the perfect; but wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who come to nought.

⁷بل نتكلم بحكمة الله في سرّ. الحكمة المكتومة التي سبق الله فعينها قبل الدهور لمجدنا.

⁷But we speak God's wisdom in [a] mystery, that hidden [wisdom] which God had predetermined before the ages for our glory:

⁸التي لم يعلمها احد من عظماء هذا الدهر. لان لو عرفوا لما صلبوا رب المجد.

⁸which none of the princes of this age knew, (for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory;)

⁹بل كما هو مكتوب ما لم تر عين ولم تسمع اذن ولم يخطر على بال انسان ما اعده الله للذين يحبونه

⁹but 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,

¹⁰فاعلنه الله لنا نحن بروحه. لان الروح يفحص كل شيء حتى اعماق الله.

¹⁰but God has revealed to us by [his] Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.

¹¹لان من من الناس يعرف امور الانسان الا روح الانسان الذي فيه. هكذا ايضا امور الله لا يعرفها احد الا روح الله.

¹¹For 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.

¹²ونحن لم نأخذ روح العالم بل الروح الذي من الله لنعرف الاشياء الموهوبة لنا من الله

¹²But *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:

¹³التي نتكلم بها ايضا لا باقوال تعلّمها حكمة انسانية بل بما يعلّمه الروح القدس قارنين الروحيات بالروحيات.

¹³which also we speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, communicating spiritual [things] by spiritual [means].

¹⁴ولكن الانسان الطبيعي لا يقبل ما لروح الله لانه عنده جهالة. ولا يقدر ان يعرفه لانه انما يحكم فيه روحيا.

¹⁴But [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;

¹⁵واما الروحي فيحكم في كل شيء وهو لا يحكم فيه من احد.

¹⁵but the spiritual discerns all things, and *he* is discerned of no one.

¹⁶لانه من عرف فكر الرب فيعلمه. واما نحن فلنا فكر المسيح

¹⁶For who has known the mind of [the] Lord, who shall instruct him? But *we* have the mind of Christ.
