Hebrew Names Version HNV
Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 When I came to you, brothers, I didn't come with excellence of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.
1
And I, having come unto you, brethren, came -- not in superiority of discourse or wisdom -- declaring to you the testimony of God,
2 For I determined not to know anything among you, except Yeshua the Messiah, and him crucified.
2
for I decided not to know any thing among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified;
3 I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.
3
and I, in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling, was with you;
4 My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
4
and my word and my preaching was not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power --
5 that your faith wouldn't stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
5
that your faith may not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
6 We speak wisdom, however, among those who are full grown; yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nothing.
6
And wisdom we speak among the perfect, and wisdom not of this age, nor of the rulers of this age -- of those becoming useless,
7 But we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds to our glory,
7
but we speak the hidden wisdom of God in a secret, that God foreordained before the ages to our glory,
8 which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn't have crucified the Lord of glory.
8
which no one of the rulers of this age did know, for if they had known, the Lord of the glory they would not have crucified;
9 But as it is written, "Things which eye didn't see, and ear didn't hear, Which didn't enter into the heart of man, Whatever things God prepared for those who love him."
9
but, according as it hath been written, `What eye did not see, and ear did not hear, and upon the heart of man came not up, what God did prepare for those loving Him --'
10 But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
10
but to us did God reveal [them] through His Spirit, for the Spirit all things doth search, even the depths of God,
11 For who among men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God, except God's Spirit.
11
for who of men hath known the things of the man, except the spirit of the man that [is] in him? so also the things of God no one hath known, except the Spirit of God.
12 But 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 by God.
12
And we the spirit of the world did not receive, but the Spirit that [is] of God, that we may know the things conferred by God on us,
13 Which things also we speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Ruach HaKodesh teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.
13
which things also we speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Holy Spirit, with spiritual things spiritual things comparing,
14 Now the natural man doesn't receive the things of the God's Spirit, for they are foolishness to him, and he can't know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
14
and the natural man doth not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for to him they are foolishness, and he is not able to know [them], because spiritually they are discerned;
15 But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is judged by no one.
15
and he who is spiritual, doth discern indeed all things, and he himself is by no one discerned;
16 "For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him?" But we have Messiah's mind.
16
for who did know the mind of the Lord that he shall instruct Him? and we -- we have the mind of Christ.
