고린도전서 2

1형제들아 내가 너희에게 나아가 하나님의 증거를 전할 때에 말과 지혜의 아름다운 것으로 아니하였나니 2내가 너희 중에서 예수 그리스도와 그의 십자가에 못 박히신 것 외에는 아무 것도 알지 아니하기로 작정하였음이라 3내가 너희 가운데 거할 때에 약하며 두려워하며 심히 떨었노라 4내 말과 내 전도함이 지혜의 권하는 말로 하지 아니하고 다만 성령의 나타남과 능력으로 하여 5너희 믿음이 사람의 지혜에 있지 아니하고 다만 하나님의 능력에 있게 하려 하였노라 6그러나 우리가 온전한 자들 중에서 지혜를 말하노니 이는 이 세상의 지혜가 아니요 또 이 세상의 없어질 관원의 지혜도 아니요 7오직 비밀한 가운데 있는 하나님의 지혜를 말하는 것이니 곧 감취었던 것인데 하나님이 우리의 영광을 위하사 만세 전에 미리 정하신 것이라 8이 지혜는 이 세대의 관원이 하나도 알지 못하였나니 만일 알았더면 영광의 주를 십자가에 못 박지 아니하였으리라 9기록된 바 하나님이 자기를 사랑하는 자들을 위하여 예비하신 모든 것은 눈으로 보지 못하고 귀로도 듣지 못하고 사람의 마음으로도 생각지 못하였다 함과 같으니라 10오직 하나님이 성령으로 이것을 우리에게 보이셨으니 성령은 모든 것 곧 하나님의 깊은 것이라도 통달하시느니라 11사람의 사정을 사람의 속에 있는 영 외에는 누가 알리요 이와 같이 하나님의 사정도 하나님의 영 외에는 아무도 알지 못하느니라 12우리가 세상의 영을 받지 아니하고 오직 하나님께로 온 영을 받았으니 이는 우리로 하여금 하나님께서 우리에게 은혜로 주신 것들을 알게 하려 하심이라 13우리가 이것을 말하거니와 사람의 지혜의 가르친 말로 아니하고 오직 성령의 가르치신 것으로 하니 신령한 일은 신령한 것으로 분별하느니라 14육에 속한 사람은 하나님의 성령의 일을 받지 아니하나니 저희에게는 미련하게 보임이요 또 깨닫지도 못하나니 이런 일은 영적으로라야 분변함이니라 15신령한 자는 모든 것을 판단하나 자기는 아무에게도 판단을 받지 아니하느니라 16누가 주의 마음을 알아서 주를 가르치겠느냐 그러나 우리가 그리스도의 마음을 가졌느니라

1When I came to you, brothers, I didn’t come with excellence of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God. 2For I determined not to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 3I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling. 4My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5that your faith wouldn’t stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. 6We 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. 7But we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory, 8which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn’t have crucified the Lord of glory. 9But as it is written, “Things which an eye didn’t see, and an ear didn’t hear, which didn’t enter into the heart of man, these God has prepared for those who love him.” 10But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 11For 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. 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 by God. 13Which things also we speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things. 14Now the natural man doesn’t receive the things of God’s Spirit, for they are foolishness to him, and he can’t know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is judged by no one. 16“For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him?” But we have Christ’s mind.

1En ik, broeders, als ik tot u ben gekomen, ben niet gekomen met uitnemendheid van woorden, of van wijsheid, u verkondigende de getuigenis van God. 2Want ik heb niet voorgenomen iets te weten onder u, dan Jezus Christus, en Dien gekruisigd. 3En ik was bij ulieden in zwakheid, en in vreze, en in vele beving. 4En mijn rede, en mijn prediking was niet in bewegelijke woorden der menselijke wijsheid, maar in betoning des geestes en der kracht; 5Opdat uw geloof niet zou zijn in wijsheid der mensen, maar in de kracht Gods. 6En wij spreken wijsheid onder de volmaakten; doch een wijsheid, niet dezer wereld, noch der oversten dezer wereld, die te niet worden; 7Maar wij spreken de wijsheid Gods, bestaande in verborgenheid, die bedekt was, welke God te voren verordineerd heeft tot heerlijkheid van ons, eer de wereld was; 8Welke niemand van de oversten dezer wereld gekend heeft; want indien zij ze gekend hadden, zo zouden zij den Heere der heerlijkheid niet gekruist hebben. 9Maar gelijk geschreven is: Hetgeen het oog niet heeft gezien, en het oor niet heeft gehoord, en in het hart des mensen niet is opgeklommen, hetgeen God bereid heeft dien, die Hem liefhebben. 10Doch God heeft het ons geopenbaard door Zijn Geest; want de Geest onderzoekt alle dingen, ook de diepten Gods. 11Want wie van de mensen weet, hetgeen des mensen is, dan de geest des mensen, die in hem is? Alzo weet ook niemand, hetgeen Gods is, dan de Geest Gods. 12Doch wij hebben niet ontvangen den geest der wereld, maar den Geest, Die uit God is, opdat wij zouden weten de dingen, die ons van God geschonken zijn; 13Dewelke wij ook spreken, niet met woorden, die de menselijke wijsheid leert, maar met woorden, die de Heilige Geest leert, geestelijke dingen met geestelijke samenvoegende. 14Maar de natuurlijke mens begrijpt niet de dingen, die des Geestes Gods zijn; want zij zijn hem dwaasheid, en hij kan ze niet verstaan, omdat zij geestelijk onderscheiden worden. 15Doch de geestelijke mens onderscheidt wel alle dingen, maar hij zelf wordt van niemand onderscheiden. 16Want wie heeft den zin des Heeren gekend, die Hem zou onderrichten? Maar wij hebben den zin van Christus.
