1 Corinto 2
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ang Kamatayan ni Cristo sa Krus
2 Mga kapatid, nang pumunta ako riyan upang ipahayag ang lihim na plano ng Dios, hindi ako gumamit ng malalalim na pananalita o karunungan. 2 Sapagkat ipinasya ko na wala akong ipangangaral sa inyo kundi si Jesu-Cristo lang at ang kanyang pagkapako sa krus. 3 Pumunta ako riyan na may kahinaan, at nanginginig pa sa takot. 4 At nang mangaral ako sa inyo, hindi ako gumamit ng matatamis na pananalita batay sa karunungan ng tao upang kumbinsihin kayo. Sa halip, pinatunayan ng Banal na Espiritu ang aking pangangaral sa pamamagitan ng kanyang kapangyarihan, 5 nang sa ganoon, hindi nakasalalay sa karunungan ng tao ang inyong pananampalataya kundi sa kapangyarihan ng Dios.
6 Kung sabagay, nagtuturo rin kami ng malalalim na karunungan sa mga matatag na sa pananampalataya, ngunit ang karunungang itoʼy hindi mula sa karunungan ng mundong ito, o sa mga namumuno sa mundong ito na nakatakda nang malipol. 7 Ang karunungang sinasabi ko ay ang karunungan ng Dios na kanyang inilihim noon. Itoʼy itinalaga niya para sa ating karangalan bago pa man niya likhain ang mundo. 8 Ang karunungang ito ay hindi naunawaan ng mga namumuno sa mundong ito. Sapagkat kung naunawaan nila, hindi sana nila ipinako sa krus ang dakilang Panginoon. 9 Ganito nga ang sinasabi ng Kasulatan,
“Wala pang taong nakakita, nakarinig, o nakaisip sa mga bagay na inihanda ng Dios para sa mga nagmamahal sa kanya.”[a]
10 Ngunit ang mga bagay na itoʼy ipinahayag na sa atin ng Dios sa pamamagitan ng kanyang Espiritu. Sapagkat ang lahat ng bagay ay nalalaman ng Espiritu, maging ang mga malalalim na kaisipan ng Dios. 11 Hindi baʼt walang nakakaalam sa iniisip ng isang tao maliban sa kanyang sariling espiritu? Ganoon din naman, walang nakakaalam sa iniisip ng Dios maliban sa kanyang Espiritu. 12 At ang Espiritu na ito ng Dios ang tinanggap nating mga mananampalataya, hindi ang espiritu ng mundong ito, upang maunawaan natin ang mga pagpapalang ibinigay sa atin ng Dios.
13 Kaya nga ipinangangaral namin ang mga bagay na ito sa pamamagitan ng mga salitang mula sa Banal na Espiritu at hindi mula sa karunungan ng tao. Ipinangangaral namin ang espiritwal na mga bagay sa mga taong pinananahanan ng Espiritu. 14 Ngunit sa taong hindi pinananahanan ng Espiritu ng Dios, hindi niya tinatanggap ang mga aral mula sa Espiritu, dahil para sa kanya itoʼy kamangmangan. At hindi niya ito nauunawaan, dahil ang mga bagay na itoʼy mauunawaan lamang sa tulong ng Espiritu. 15 Sa taong pinananahanan ng Espiritu, nauunawaan niya ang mga bagay na ito, ngunit hindi naman siya maunawaan ng mga tao na hindi pinananahanan ng Espiritu ng Dios. 16 Ayon nga sa sinasabi ng Kasulatan,
“Sino ba ang nakakaalam ng isip ng Panginoon?
Sino ba ang makakapagpayo sa kanya?”
Ngunit tayo, taglay natin ang pag-iisip ni Cristo, kaya nakakaunawa tayo.

1 Corinthians 2
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.

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.
