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

¹A ja, keď som k vám prišiel, bratia, neprišiel som vo vznešenosti slova alebo múdrosti zvestujúc vám svedoctvo Božie.

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

²Lebo som nebol usúdil vedieť niečo iné medzi vami krome Ježiša Krista, a toho ukrižovaného.

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

³A ja som bol u vás v slabosti a v bázni a triasol som sa mnoho.

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

⁴A moja reč a moja kázeň nezáležala v presviedčavých ľudskej múdrosti slovách, ale v dôkaze Ducha a moci,

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

⁵aby vaša viera nebola v ľudskej múdrosti, ale v moci Božej.

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:

⁶A múdrosť hovoríme medzi dokonalými, ale nie múdrosť tohoto sveta ani kniežat tohoto sveta, ktoré hynú;

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:

⁷ale hovoríme múdrosť Božiu v tajomstve, skrytú, ktorú predurčil Bôh pred veky na našu slávu,

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

⁸ktorej neznal nikto z kniežat tohoto sveta, lebo keby boli poznali, neboli by Pána slávy ukrižovali.

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.

⁹Ale jako je napísané: Čoho oko nevidelo a ucho nepočulo a čo na srdce človeka nevstúpilo, čo všetko Bôh prihotovil tým, ktorí ho milujú.

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

¹⁰Ale nám Bôh zjavil skrze svojho Ducha. Lebo Duch zpytuje všetko, aj hlbiny Božie.

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.

¹¹Lebo kto z ľudí vie, čo je v človekovi krome ducha človeka, ktorý je v ňom? Tak ani vecí Božích nepoznal a nezná nikto, iba Duch Boží.

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.

¹²A my sme nedostali ducha sveta, ale Ducha, ktorý je z Boha, aby sme vedeli, čo všetko nám je z milosti darované od Boha,

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

¹³čo aj hovoríme, no, nie učenými ľudskej múdrosti slovami, ale učenými od Svätého Ducha, s duchovnými vecmi duchovné porovnávajúc.

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.

¹⁴Ale telesný človek nechápe vecí Ducha Božieho, lebo sú mu bláznovstvom, a nemôže ich poznať, lebo sa majú duchovne posudzovať.

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

¹⁵Ale duchovný človek posudzuje všetko a sám nie je posudzovaný od nikoho.

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

¹⁶Lebo kde kto poznal myseľ Pánovu, ktorý by ho učil? No, my máme myseľ Kristovu.
