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

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

²For I did not judge [it well] 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 word and my preaching, 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 might not stand in men's wisdom, but in God's power.

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

⁶But we speak wisdom among the perfect; but wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who come 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, that hidden [wisdom] which God had predetermined before the ages for 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 princes of this age knew, (for had they known, 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 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,

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

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

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.

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* 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:

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

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.

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;

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

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

¹⁶For who has known the mind of [the] Lord, who shall 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.
