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

¹Mange, phrale, kana gelem tumende, na bare divanosa vai gojasa, avilem te phenav tumenge pa Del.

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

²Te nas ma gindo te zhanav mashkar tumende aver diela, ferdi O Jesus Kristo, ai lesko merimos po trushul.

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

³Me korkorho simas tumende slabo, ai daras, ai izdramasa.

⁴And my speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

⁴Ai murhi vorba ai murho divano nas bare vorbi kai parhuven la gojasa, numa sas dino ande putiera le Swuntsone Duxoski.

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

⁵Kashte tumaro pachamos te na avel kerdo pe goji le manushenge, numa ande putiera le Devleski.

⁶We speak wisdom, however, among them that are fullgrown: yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nought:

⁶Numa iek goji si kai phenas mashkar le shave le Devleske kai barile ando Del, kadala zhanglimos nai katar e lumia, vai katar le bare kai poronchin adies. Won meren ai vi lengo zhanglimos merel lensa.

⁷but we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, [even] the [wisdom] that hath been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds unto our glory:

⁷Ame phenas e goji le Devleski, shodo ai garadi, kai O Del mai anglal sar le bersh shinadisas pe amaro barimos.

⁸which none of the rulers of this world hath known: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory:

⁸Goji kai chi iek baro anda kadala bersh chi zhanglia, ke te zhanglino la nashti karfon le Devles le bares.

⁹but as it is written, Things which eye saw not, and ear heard not, And [which] entered not into the heart of man, Whatsoever things God prepared for them that love him.

⁹Numa sar si ramome, kai e iakh chi dikhlia, kai o khan chi ashundia, ai kai chi avile ando ilo le manushesko, dieli kai O Del lashardia kodolenge kai si lenge drago.

¹⁰But unto us God revealed [them] through the Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

¹⁰O Del sikadia lenge pa Duxo; ke o Duxo zumavel swako fielo vi o garavimos le Devleske.

¹¹For who among men knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of the man, which is in him? even so the things of God none knoweth, save the Spirit of God.

¹¹Savo andal manush chaches zhanen le dieli le manusheske, te na avela o Duxo le Manushesko kai san ande leste? Saikfielo khonik chi zhanel le dieli le Devleske, de ferdi O Duxo le Devlesko.

¹²But 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.

¹²Akana chi liam o duxo la lumiako, numa o Duxo kai avel katar O Del; kashte te zhanas le dieli kadia sas O Del ande pesko mishtimos.

¹³Which things also we speak, not in words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Spirit teacheth; combining spiritual things with spiritual [words].

¹³Ai ame das duma, na divanonsa kai sicharel e goji la manushenge, numa kodola sas kai sicharel O Swunto Duxo; phenas divano duxosko pel dieluria le duxoske.

¹⁴Now 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.

¹⁴Numa o manush zhigania (manush kai chi pachalpa ando Del), chi lel le dieli anda Duxo le Devlesko; ke leske si dilimos, ai nashte zhanel le, ke ferdi Duxosa sai haliarel.

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

¹⁵O manush duxosko aver fielo kerel kris pe sa le dieli, ai pe leste korkorho chi kerel kris khonik.

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

¹⁶Ke kon zhanelas o gindo le Devlesko, te sicharel les? Numa si ame o gindo le Kristosko.
