1 Corinzi 2
Conferenza Episcopale Italiana
2 Anch'io, o fratelli, quando sono venuto tra voi, non mi sono presentato ad annunziarvi la testimonianza di Dio con sublimità di parola o di sapienza. 2 Io ritenni infatti di non sapere altro in mezzo a voi se non Gesù Cristo, e questi crocifisso. 3 Io venni in mezzo a voi in debolezza e con molto timore e trepidazione; 4 e la mia parola e il mio messaggio non si basarono su discorsi persuasivi di sapienza, ma sulla manifestazione dello Spirito e della sua potenza, 5 perché la vostra fede non fosse fondata sulla sapienza umana, ma sulla potenza di Dio.
6 Tra i perfetti parliamo, sì, di sapienza, ma di una sapienza che non è di questo mondo, né dei dominatori di questo mondo che vengono ridotti al nulla; 7 parliamo di una sapienza divina, misteriosa, che è rimasta nascosta, e che Dio ha preordinato prima dei secoli per la nostra gloria. 8 Nessuno dei dominatori di questo mondo ha potuto conoscerla; se l'avessero conosciuta, non avrebbero crocifisso il Signore della gloria. 9 Sta scritto infatti:
Quelle cose che occhio non vide, né orecchio udì,
né mai entrarono in cuore di uomo,
queste ha preparato Dio per coloro che lo amano.
10 Ma a noi Dio le ha rivelate per mezzo dello Spirito; lo Spirito infatti scruta ogni cosa, anche le profondità di Dio. 11 Chi conosce i segreti dell'uomo se non lo spirito dell'uomo che è in lui? Così anche i segreti di Dio nessuno li ha mai potuti conoscere se non lo Spirito di Dio. 12 Ora, noi non abbiamo ricevuto lo spirito del mondo, ma lo Spirito di Dio per conoscere tutto ciò che Dio ci ha donato. 13 Di queste cose noi parliamo, non con un linguaggio suggerito dalla sapienza umana, ma insegnato dallo Spirito, esprimendo cose spirituali in termini spirituali. 14 L'uomo naturale però non comprende le cose dello Spirito di Dio; esse sono follia per lui, e non è capace di intenderle, perché se ne può giudicare solo per mezzo dello Spirito. 15 L'uomo spirituale invece giudica ogni cosa, senza poter essere giudicato da nessuno.
16 Chi infatti ha conosciuto il pensiero del Signore
in modo da poterlo dirigere?
Ora, noi abbiamo il pensiero di Cristo.

Arabic Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
رِسَالَةُ المَسِيحِ المَصلُوب
2 فَحِينَ جِئتُكُمْ أيُّهَا الإخْوَةُ، لَمْ آتِ مُذِيعًا عَلَيْكُمْ سِرَّ اللهِ بِكَلَامِ البَلَاغَةِ أوْ بِالحِكْمَةِ البَشَرِيَّةِ. 2 فَإنَّنِي صَمَّمتُ ألَّا أعرِفَ شَيْئًا وَأنَا بَيْنَكُمْ إلَّا يَسُوعَ المَسِيحَ وَمَوْتَهُ عَلَى الصَّلِيبِ. 3 فَجِئتُكُمْ فِي ضَعفٍ وَخَوفٍ وَارتِعَابٍ شَدِيدٍ. 4 وَلَمْ أُقَدِّمْ كَلَامِي وَرِسَالَتِي بِكَلِمَاتٍ مُقنِعَةٍ مِنَ الحِكْمَةِ البَشَرِيَّةِ، بَلْ بِبُرهَانِ الرُّوحِ وَقُوَّتِهِ. 5 وَذَلِكَ لِكَي لَا يَعْتَمِدَ إيمَانُكُمْ عَلَى حِكْمَةِ البَشَرِ، بَلْ عَلَى قُوَّةِ اللهِ.
حِكمَةُ الله
6 يُعلِنُ كلَامُنَا حِكْمَةً بَيْنَ النَّاضِجِينَ، لَكِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ حِكمَةَ هَذَا العَالَمِ، وَلَا هِيَ مِنْ حُكَّامِ هَذَا العَالَمِ الزَّائِلِينَ. 7 لَكِنَّنَا نَتَكَلَّمُ عَنْ سِرِّ حِكمَةِ اللهِ الَّتِي كَانَتْ مَخفِيَّةً عَنِ النَّاسِ، لَكِنَّ اللهَ حَدَّدَهَا مُسْبَقًا قَبْلَ بَدءِ الزَّمَانِ مِنْ أجْلِ مَجْدِنَا. 8 وَهِيَ حِكمَةٌ لَمْ يَعْرِفْهَا أيٌّ مِنْ حُكَّامِ هَذَا العَالَمِ. فَلَو عَرَفُوهَا، لَمَا صَلَبُوا الرَّبَّ المَجِيدَ. 9 لَكِنْ كَمَا يَقُولُ الكِتَابُ:
«مَا لَمْ تُبصِرْهُ عَينٌ،
وَلَا سَمِعَتْ بِهِ أُذُنٌ،
وَلَا تَخَيَّلَهُ فِكرُ بَشَرٍ،
مَا أعَدَّهُ اللهُ لِلَّذينَ يُحِبُّونَهُ.»[a]
10 لَكِنَّ اللهَ أعلَنَهُ لَنَا بِالرَّوحِ القُدُسِ. فَالرُّوحُ يَكْشِفُ كُلَّ شَيءٍ، حَتَّى أعمَاقَ اللهِ.
11 فَلَا أحَدَ يَعْرِفُ أفكَارَ الإنْسَانِ إلَّا رُوحُ الإنْسَانِ الَّتِي فِيهِ، كَذَلِكَ لَا أحَدَ يَعْرِفُ أفكَارَ اللهِ إلَّا رُوحُ اللهِ. 12 لَكِنَّنَا لَمْ نَنَلْ رُوحَ العَالَمِ، بَلِ الرُّوحَ الَّذِي يَأتِي مِنَ اللهِ، لِكَي نَعْرِفَ الأشْيَاءَ الَّتِي وَهَبَنَا إيَّاهَا اللهُ. 13 وَهِيَ الأشْيَاءُ الَّتِي نَتَكَلَّمُ بِهَا وَلَمْ نَتَعَلَّمْهَا مِنْ بَشَرٍ، وَإنَّمَا هِيَ كَلِمَاتٌ يُعَلِّمُهَا لَنَا الرُّوحُ القُدُسُ، فَنُفَسِّرُ الحَقَائِقَ الرُّوحِيَّةَ بِكَلِمَاتٍ رُوحِيَّةٍ. 14 فَالشَّخصُ الَّذِي لَيْسَ فِيهِ رُوحُ اللهِ لَا يَقْبَلُ الحَقَائِقَ الَّتِي يُعلِنُهَا رُوحُ اللهِ، لِأنَّهُ يَعْتَبِرُهَا حَمَاقَةً، وَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أنْ يَفْهَمَهَا، لِأنَّهَا تُقَاسُ بِمِقيَاسٍ رُوحِيٍّ. 15 أمَّا الشَّخصُ الرُّوحِيُّ فَيَسْتَطِيعُ أنْ يَقِيسَ كُلَّ الأُمُورِ، لَكِنْ لَا يُمْكِنُ لِلآخَرِينَ أنْ يَقِيسُوهُ. 16 فَكَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ:
«مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَعْرِفُ فِكرَ الرَّبِّ،
مَنْ يَسْتَطيعُ أنْ يُعَلِّمَ الرَّبَّ؟»[b]
أمَّا نَحْنُ فَلَنَا فِكرُ المَسِيحِ.
1 Corinthians 2
King James Version
2 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.
1 Corinthians 2
New International Version
2 And so it was with me, brothers and sisters. When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom(A) as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God.[a] 2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.(B) 3 I came to you(C) in weakness(D) with great fear and trembling.(E) 4 My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words,(F) but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power,(G) 5 so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power.(H)
God’s Wisdom Revealed by the Spirit
6 We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature,(I) but not the wisdom of this age(J) or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.(K) 7 No, we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery(L) that has been hidden(M) and that God destined for our glory before time began. 8 None of the rulers of this age(N) understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.(O) 9 However, as it is written:
“What no eye has seen,
what no ear has heard,
and what no human mind has conceived”[b]—
the things God has prepared for those who love him—(P)
10 these are the things God has revealed(Q) to us by his Spirit.(R)
The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. 11 For who knows a person’s thoughts(S) except their own spirit(T) within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 What we have received is not the spirit(U) of the world,(V) but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. 13 This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom(W) but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words.[c] 14 The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God(X) but considers them foolishness,(Y) and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. 15 The person with the Spirit(Z) makes judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgments, 16 for,
But we have the mind of Christ.(AB)

New King James Version
Christ Crucified
2 And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the [a]testimony of God. 2 For I determined not to know anything among you (A)except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. 3 (B)I was with you (C)in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling. 4 And my speech and my preaching (D)were not with persuasive words of [b]human wisdom, (E)but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the (F)power of God.
Spiritual Wisdom
6 However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. 7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God [c]ordained before the ages for our glory, 8 which none of the rulers of this age knew; for (G)had they known, they would not have (H)crucified the Lord of glory.
9 But as it is written:
(I)“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
10 But (J)God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knows the things of a man except the (K)spirit of the man which is in him? (L)Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but (M)the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.
13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the [d]Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 (N)But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. 16 For (O)“who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” (P)But we have the mind of Christ.
