from Biblica1And so it was with me, brothers and sisters. When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God.[1]2For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.3I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling.4My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power,5so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power.
God’s wisdom revealed by the Spirit
6We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.7No, we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began.8None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.9However, as it is written: ‘What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived’ – the things God has prepared for those who love him – (Isa 64:4)10these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.11For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no-one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.12What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us.13This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words.[2]14The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.15The person with the Spirit makes judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgments,16for, ‘Who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?’ But we have the mind of Christ. (Isa 40:13)
6Обаче ние поучаваме мъдрост между съвършените, но не мъдрост от този свят, нито от властниците на този свят, които преминават; (1Co 1:20; 1Co 1:28; 1Co 2:1; 1Co 2:13; 1Co 3:19; 1Co 14:20; 2Co 1:12; Eph 4:13; Php 3:15; Heb 5:14; Jas 3:15)7а поучаваме Божията тайнствена премъдрост, която е била скрита, която е била предопределена от Бога преди вековете да ни докарва слава. (Ro 16:25; Ro 16:26; Eph 3:5; Eph 3:9; Col 1:26; 2Ti 1:9)8Никой от властниците на този свят не я е познал; защото, ако я бяха познали, не биха разпънали Господа на славата. (Mt 11:25; Lu 23:34; Joh 7:48; Joh 16:3; Ac 3:17; Ac 13:27; 2Co 3:14)9А според както е писано: „Каквото око не е видяло и ухо не е чуло, и на човешко сърце не е идвало, всичко това е приготвил Бог за тези, които Го обичат.“ (Isa 64:4)10А на нас Бог откри това чрез Духа; понеже Духът издирва всичко, даже и Божиите дълбочини. (Mt 13:11; Mt 16:17; Mr 4:11; Joh 14:26; Joh 16:13; 1Jo 2:27)11Защото кой човек знае какво има в човека освен духа на човека, който е в Него? Така и никой не знае какво има у Бога, освен Божия Дух. (Pr 20:27; Pr 27:19; Jer 17:9; Ro 11:33; Ro 11:34)12А ние получихме не духа на света, а Духа, Който е от Бога, за да познаем това, което Бог е благоволил да ни подари; (Ro 8:15)13което и възвестяваме не с думи, научени от човешка мъдрост, а с думи, научени от Духа, като поясняваме духовните неща на духовните човеци. (1Co 1:17; 1Co 2:4; 2Pe 1:16)14Но естественият човек не възприема това, което е от Божия Дух, защото за него е глупост; и не може да го разбере, понеже то се изпитва духовно. (Mt 16:23; Ro 8:5; 1Co 1:18; 1Co 1:23; Jud 1:19)15Но духовният човек изпитва всичко; а него никой не изпитва. (Pr 28:5; 1Th 5:21; 1Jo 4:1)16Защото: „Кой е познал ума на Господа, зада може да Го научи?“ А ние имаме ум Христов. (Job 15:8; Isa 40:13; Jer 23:18; Joh 15:15; Ro 11:34)
