Ang Ipinapangaral ni Pablo

Mga kapatid, nang ako'y pumunta riyan, ipinahayag ko sa inyo ang hiwaga[a] ng Diyos hindi sa pamamagitan ng kahusayan ng pananalita o ng malawak na karunungan. Sapagkat noong ako'y nariyan, ipinasya kong wala akong ibang ipapaalam sa inyo maliban kay Jesu-Cristo at ang kanyang kamatayan sa krus. Noong(A) ako'y nariyan, ako'y nanghihina at nanginginig sa takot. Sa aking pananalita at pangangaral ay hindi ko sinubukang hikayatin kayo sa pamamagitan ng mahuhusay na talumpati at karunungan ng tao. Subalit nangaral ako sa pamamagitan ng kapangyarihan ng Espiritu upang ang inyong pananampalataya ay masandig sa kapangyarihan ng Diyos at hindi sa karunungan ng tao.

Ang Karunungan ng Diyos

Gayunpaman, sa mga taong matatag na sa buhay espirituwal ay nangangaral kami ng salita ng karunungan, hindi karunungan ng mundong ito, o ng mga tagapamahala sa mundong ito na ang kapangyarihan ay lilipas. Subalit ang ipinapahayag namin ay ang lihim na karunungan ng Diyos na hindi nahayag noong una, na itinalaga na niya para sa ating ikaluluwalhati bago pa likhain ang sanlibutan. Walang(B) isa man sa mga tagapamahala sa daigdig na ito ang nakaunawa sa karunungang iyon, sapagkat kung naunawaan nila iyon, hindi sana nila ipinako sa krus ang Panginoon ng kaluwalhatian. Subalit(C) tulad ng nasusulat,

“Hindi pa nakikita ng mata, o naririnig ng tainga,
    ni hindi pa sumasagi sa isip ng tao
    ang mga inihanda ng Diyos para sa mga umiibig sa kanya.”

10 Ngunit ito'y inihayag na ng Diyos sa atin sa pamamagitan ng Espiritu. Sinasaliksik ng Espiritu ang lahat ng bagay, maging ang mga pinakamalalim na bagay na may kinalaman sa Diyos. 11 Walang nakakaalam sa iniisip ng isang tao maliban sa kanyang sariling espiritu. Gayundin naman, walang nakakaalam sa mga iniisip ng Diyos maliban sa Espiritu ng Diyos. 12 Ang tinanggap natin ay hindi ang espiritu ng sanlibutan kundi ang Espiritu na mula sa Diyos upang maunawaan natin ang mga kaloob niya sa atin.

13 Kaya nga, kami ay nangangaral hindi sa pamamagitan ng karunungan ng tao kundi sa pamamagitan ng Espiritu. Ang ipinapaliwanag namin ay mga katotohanang espirituwal para sa mga nagtataglay ng Espiritu. 14 Sapagkat ang taong hindi nagtataglay ng Espiritu ay hindi kayang tumanggap ng mga kaloob mula sa Espiritu ng Diyos. Para sa kanila, kahangalan ang mga iyon at di nila nauunawaan, sapagkat ang mga bagay na espirituwal ay mauunawaan lamang sa paraang espirituwal. 15 Nauunawaan ng taong nagtataglay ng Espiritu ang kahalagahan ng lahat ng bagay, ngunit hindi siya nauunawaan ng taong hindi nagtataglay ng Espiritu.

16 “Sino(D) ang nakakaalam ng pag-iisip ng Panginoon?
    Sino ang makapagpapayo sa kanya?”

Ngunit nasa atin[b] ang pag-iisip ni Cristo.

Christ Crucified

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. For I determined not to know anything among you (A)except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. (B)I was with you (C)in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling. 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, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the (F)power of God.

Spiritual Wisdom

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. But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God [c]ordained before the ages for our glory, which none of the rulers of this age knew; for (G)had they known, they would not have (H)crucified the Lord of glory.

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.

Proclaiming Christ Crucified

And I, when I came to you, brothers,[a] (A)did not come proclaiming to you (B)the testimony[b] of God with lofty speech or wisdom. For I decided to know nothing among you except (C)Jesus Christ and him crucified. And (D)I was with you (E)in weakness and in fear and much trembling, and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of (F)the Spirit and of power, so that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men[c] but (G)in the power of God.

Wisdom from the Spirit

Yet among (H)the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not (I)a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, (J)who are doomed to pass away. But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, (K)which God decreed before the ages for our glory. None of (L)the rulers of this age understood this, for (M)if they had, they would not have crucified (N)the Lord of glory. But, as it is written,

(O)“What no eye has seen, nor ear heard,
    nor the heart of man imagined,
what God has (P)prepared (Q)for those who love him”—

10 these things (R)God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even (S)the depths of God. 11 For who knows a person's thoughts (T)except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now (U)we have received not (V)the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. 13 And we impart this (W)in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, (X)interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual.[d]

14 The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are (Y)folly to him, and (Z)he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. 15 The (AA)spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. 16 (AB)“For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But (AC)we have the mind of Christ.

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] For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.(B) I came to you(C) in weakness(D) with great fear and trembling.(E) My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words,(F) but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power,(G) so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power.(H)

God’s Wisdom Revealed by the Spirit

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) No, we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery(L) that has been hidden(M) and that God destined for our glory before time began. None of the rulers of this age(N) understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.(O) 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,

“Who has known the mind of the Lord
    so as to instruct him?”[d](AA)

But we have the mind of Christ.(AB)
