And I, brethren
, when I came
to
you
, came
not
with
excellency
of speech
or
of wisdom
, declaring
unto you
the testimony
of God
.
For I determined
not
to know
any thing
among
you
, save
Jesus
Christ
, and
him
crucified
.
And I
was
with
you
in
weakness
, and
in
fear
, and
in
much
trembling
.
And my
speech
and
my
preaching
was not
with
enticing
words
of man's
wisdom
, but
in
demonstration
of the Spirit
and
of power
:
That your
faith
should
not
stand
in
the wisdom
of men
, but
in
the power
of God
.
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
:
But we speak
the wisdom
of God
in
a mystery
, even the hidden
wisdom , which
God
ordained
before
the world
unto
our
glory
:
Which none
of the princes
of this
world
knew
: for
had they known
it , they
would
not
have crucified
the Lord
of glory
.
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
.
But God
hath revealed
them unto us
by
his
Spirit
: for
the Spirit
searcheth
all things
, yea
, the deep things
of God
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
But he that is spiritual
judgeth
all things
, yet
he himself
is judged
of
no man
.
For who
hath known
the mind
of the Lord
, that
he may instruct
him
? But
we
have
the mind
of Christ
.
