NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

1 Corinthians 2

Paul's Reliance upon the Spirit

1

And when I cameg2064 to you, brethreng80, I  adid not comeg2064 with superiorityg5247 of speechg3056 org2228 of wisdomg4678, proclaimingg2605 to you  bthe  1testimonyg3142 of Godg2316.

2

For I determinedg2919 to knowg3609a nothingg3756g5100 amongg1722 you exceptg1508  aJesusg2424 Christg5547, and Him crucifiedg4717.

3

I was with you in  aweaknessg769 and in  bfearg5401 and in muchg4183 tremblingg5156,

4

and my  1messageg3056 and my preachingg2782 were  anot in persuasiveg3981 wordsg3056 of wisdomg4678, but in demonstrationg585 of  bthe Spiritg4151 and of powerg1411,

5

sog2443 that your faithg4102 would not  1restg1510 on the wisdomg4678 of meng444, but on  athe powerg1411 of Godg2316.

6

Yetg1161 we do speakg2980 wisdomg4678 amongg1722 thoseg3588 who are  amatureg5046; a wisdomg4678, howeverg1161, not of  bthisg3778 ageg165 norg3761 of the rulersg758 of  bthisg3778 ageg165, who are  cpassingg2673 awayg2673;

7

but we speakg2980 God'sg2316 wisdomg4678 in a  amysteryg3466, the hiddeng613 wisdom whichg3739 Godg2316  bpredestinedg4309 beforeg4253 the  cagesg165 to our gloryg1391;

8

the wisdom  awhichg3739 noneg3762 of the rulersg758 of  bthisg3778 ageg165 has understoodg1097; for ifg1487 they had understoodg1097 it they would not have crucifiedg4717  cthe Lordg2962 of gloryg1391;

9

but justg2531a as it is writteng1125, " aTHINGS WHICHg3739 EYEg3788 HAS NOT SEENg3708 AND EARg3775 HAS NOT HEARDg191, AND which HAVE NOT ENTEREDg305 THE HEARTg2588 OF MANg444, ALLg3745 THAT GODg2316 HAS PREPAREDg2090 FOR THOSEg3588 WHO LOVEg25 HIM."

10

 1 aFor to us Godg2316 revealedg601 them  bthroughg1223 the Spiritg4151; for the Spiritg4151 searchesg2045 allg3956 thingsg3956, eveng2532 the  cdepthsg899 of Godg2316.

11

For whog5101 among meng444 knowsg3609a the thoughts of a mang444 exceptg1508 the  aspiritg4151 of the mang444 which is in him? Eveng2532 sog3779 the thoughts of Godg2316 nog3762 oneg3762 knowsg1097 exceptg1508 the Spiritg4151 of Godg2316.

12

Nowg1161 we  ahave receivedg2983, not the spiritg4151 of  bthe worldg2889, but the Spiritg4151 whog3588 is from Godg2316, sog2443 that we may knowg3609a the thingsg5483 freelyg5483 giveng5483 to us by Godg2316,

13

whichg3739 things we alsog2532 speakg2980,  anot in wordsg3056 taughtg1318 by humang442 wisdomg4678, but in those taughtg1318 by the Spiritg4151,  1combiningg4793 spiritualg4152 thoughts with spiritualg4152 words.

14

But  1a  anaturalg5591 mang444  bdoes not acceptg1209 the things of the Spiritg4151 of Godg2316, for they are  cfoolishnessg3472 to him; and he cannotg1410g3756 understandg1097 them, becauseg3754 they are spirituallyg4153  2appraisedg350.

15

But he who is  aspiritualg4152 appraisesg350 allg3956 thingsg3956, yetg1161 he himselfg846 is appraisedg350 by nog3762 oneg3762.

16

For  aWHOg5101 HAS KNOWNg1097 THE MINDg3563 OF THE LORDg2962, THAT HE WILL INSTRUCTg4822 HIM? But  bwe haveg2192 the mindg3563 of Christg5547.
