1 ASI que, hermanos, cuando fuí á vosotros, no fuí con altivez de palabra, ó de sabiduría, á anunciaros el testimonio de Cristo.

2 Porque no me propuse saber algo entre vosotros, sino á Jesucristo, y á éste crucificado.

3 Y estuve yo con vosotros con flaqueza, y mucho temor y temblor;

4 Y ni mi palabra ni mi predicación fué con palabras persuasivas de humana sabiduría, mas con demostración del Espíritu y de poder;

5 Para que vuestra fe no esté fundada en sabiduría de hombres, mas en poder de Dios.

6 Empero hablamos sabiduría de Dios entre perfectos; y sabiduría, no de este siglo, ni de los príncipes de este siglo, que se deshacen:

7 Mas hablamos sabiduría de Dios en misterio, la sabiduría oculta, la cual Dios predestinó antes de los siglos para nuestra gloria:

8 La que ninguno de los príncipes de este siglo conoció; porque si la hubieran conocido, nunca hubieran crucificado al Señor de gloria:

9 Antes, como está escrito: Cosas que ojo no vió, ni oreja oyó, Ni han subido en corazón de hombre, Son las que ha Dios preparado para aquellos que le aman.

10 Empero Dios nos lo reveló á nosotros por el Espíritu: porque el Espíritu todo lo escudriña, aun lo profundo de Dios.

11 Porque ¿quién de los hombres sabe las cosas del hombre, sino el espíritu del hombre que está en él? Así tampoco nadie conoció las cosas de Dios, sino el Espíritu de Dios.

12 Y nosotros hemos recibido, no el espíritu del mundo, sino el Espíritu que es de Dios, para que conozcamos lo que Dios nos ha dado;

13 Lo cual también hablamos, no con doctas palabras de humana sabiduría, mas con doctrina del Espíritu, acomodando lo espiritual á lo espiritual.

14 Mas el hombre animal no percibe las cosas que son del Espíritu de Dios, porque le son locura: y no las puede entender, porque se han de examinar espiritualmente.

15 Empero el espiritual juzga todas las cosas; mas él no es juzgado de nadie.

16 Porque ¿quién conoció la mente del Señor? ¿quién le instruyó? Mas nosotros tenemos la mente de Cristo.

1 And when I came to you, my brothers, I did not come with wise words of knowledge, putting before you the secret of God.

2 For I had made the decision to have knowledge of nothing among you but only of Jesus Christ on the cross.

3 And I was with you without strength, in fear and in doubt.

4 And in my preaching there were no honeyed words of wisdom, but I was dependent on the power of the Spirit to make it clear to you:

5 So that your faith might be based not on man's wisdom but on the power of God.

6 But still we have wisdom for those who are complete in knowledge, though not the wisdom of this world, and not of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nothing:

7 But we give the news of the secret wisdom of God, which he had kept in store before the world came into existence, for our glory;

8 Of which not one of the rulers of this world had knowledge: for if they had, they would not have put the Lord of glory on the cross:

9 But as it says in the holy Writings, Things which the eye saw not, and which had not come to the ears or into the heart of man, such things as God has made ready for those who have love for him.

10 But God has given us the revelation of these things through his Spirit, for the Spirit makes search into all things, even the deep things of God.

11 For who has knowledge of the things of a man but the spirit of the man which is in him? in the same way, no one has knowledge of the things of God but the Spirit of God.

12 But we have not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which comes from God, so that we may have knowledge of the things which are freely given to us by God.

13 And these are the things which we say, not in the language of man's wisdom, but in words given to us by the Spirit, judging the things of the spirit by the help of the Spirit.

14 For the natural man is not able to take in the things of the Spirit of God: for they seem foolish to him, and he is not able to have knowledge of them, because such knowledge comes only through the Spirit.

15 But he who has the Spirit, though judging all things, is himself judged by no one.

16 For who has knowledge of the mind of the Lord, so as to be his teacher? But we have the mind of Christ.
