1 A s for myself, brethren, when I came to you, I did not come proclaiming to you the testimony and evidence or mystery and secret of God in lofty words of eloquence or human philosophy and wisdom;

¶ Así que, hermanos, cuando fui a vosotros, no fui con altivez de palabra, o de sabiduría, a anunciaros el testimonio de Dios.

2 F or I resolved to know nothing (to be acquainted with nothing, to make a display of the knowledge of nothing, and to be conscious of nothing) among you except Jesus Christ (the Messiah) and Him crucified.

Porque no me juzgué saber algo entre vosotros, sino a Jesús, el Cristo, y a éste colgado en el madero.

3 A nd I was in ( passed into a state of) weakness and fear (dread) and great trembling '> after I had come] among you.

Y estuve yo con vosotros con flaqueza, y mucho temor y temblor.

4 A nd my language and my message were not set forth in persuasive (enticing and plausible) words of wisdom, but they were in demonstration of the Spirit and power '> a proof by the Spirit and power of God, operating on me and stirring in the minds of my hearers the most holy emotions and thus persuading them],

Y ni mi palabra ni mi predicación fue en palabras persuasivas de humana sabiduría, sino en demostración del Espíritu y de potencia;

5 S o that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men (human philosophy), but in the power of God.

para que vuestra fe no esté fundada en sabiduría de hombres, sino en potencia de Dios.

6 Y et when we are among the full-grown (spiritually mature Christians who are ripe in understanding), we do impart a wisdom (the knowledge of the divine plan previously hidden); but it is indeed not a wisdom of this present age or of this world nor of the leaders and rulers of this age, who are being brought to nothing and are doomed to pass away.

¶ Pero hablamos sabiduría de Dios perfectísima; y sabiduría, no de este siglo, ni de los príncipes de este siglo, que se deshacen,

7 B ut rather what we are setting forth is a wisdom of God once hidden and now revealed to us by God— which God devised and decreed before the ages for our glorification.

sino hablamos sabiduría de Dios en misterio, la sabiduría ocultada; la cual Dios predestinó antes de los siglos para nuestra gloria;

8 N one of the rulers of this age or world perceived and recognized and understood this, for if they had, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory.

la que ninguno de los príncipes de este siglo conoció (porque si la hubieran conocido, nunca habrían colgado en el madero al Señor de gloria);

9 B ut, on the contrary, as the Scripture says, What eye has not seen and ear has not heard and has not entered into the heart of man, God has prepared (made and keeps ready) for those who love Him '> who hold Him in affectionate reverence, promptly obeying Him and gratefully recognizing the benefits He has bestowed].

antes, como está escrito: Lo que ojo no vio, ni oreja oyó, ni ha subido en corazón de hombre, es lo que Dios ha preparado para aquellos que le aman.

10 Y et to us God has unveiled and revealed them by and through His Spirit, for the Spirit searches diligently, exploring and examining everything, even sounding the profound and bottomless things of God '> divine counsels and things hidden and beyond man’s scrutiny].

Pero Dios nos lo reveló a nosotros por su Espíritu; porque el Espíritu todo lo escudriña, aun lo profundo de Dios.

11 F or what person perceives (knows and understands) what passes through a man’s thoughts except the man’s own spirit within him? Just so no one discerns (comes to know and comprehend) the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.

Porque ¿quién de los hombres sabe las cosas del hombre, sino el espíritu del mismo hombre que está en él? Así tampoco nadie conoció las cosas que son de Dios, sino el Espíritu de Dios.

12 N ow we have not received the spirit the world, but the Spirit Who is from God, that we might realize and comprehend and appreciate the gifts bestowed on us by God.

Y nosotros no hemos recibido el espíritu del mundo, sino el Espíritu que es venido de Dios, para que conozcamos lo que Dios nos ha dado;

13 A nd we are setting these truths forth in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, combining and interpreting spiritual truths with spiritual language.

lo cual también hablamos, no con doctas palabras de humana sabiduría, sino con doctrina del Espíritu Santo, acomodando lo espiritual por medio de lo espiritual.

14 B ut the natural, nonspiritual man does not accept or welcome or admit into his heart the gifts and teachings and revelations of the Spirit of God, for they are folly (meaningless nonsense) to him; and he is incapable of knowing them because they are spiritually discerned and estimated and appreciated.

Pero el hombre animal no percibe las cosas que son del Espíritu de Dios, porque le son locura; y no las puede entender, porque se han de discernir espiritualmente.

15 B ut the spiritual man tries all things '> examines, investigates, inquires into, questions, and discerns all things], yet is himself to be put on trial and judged by no one.

Pero el espiritual discierne todas las cosas; mas él de nadie es discernido.

16 F or who has known or understood the mind (the counsels and purposes) of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and give Him knowledge? But we have the mind of Christ (the Messiah) and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart.

Porque ¿quién conoció el entendimiento del Señor? ¿Quién le instruyó? Mas nosotros tenemos el entendimiento de Cristo.
