1 Corinthians 2
- 1And I, brothers and sisters, when I came to you, did not come with impressive speech or wisdom, declaring to you the testimony of God.
- 2For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
- 3And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
- 4And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power.
- 5That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
- 6However we speak wisdom among those who are mature. Yet not the wisdom of this world, or of the princes of this world, that come to nothing.
- 7But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God planned before the world to our glory.
- 8Which none of the princes of this world knew. For had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
- 9But as it is written, Eye has not seen, or ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for those who love him.
- 10But God has revealed them to us by his Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
- 11For what man knows the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? Even so the things of God knows no man, but the Spirit of God.
- 12Now 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.
- 13Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
- 14But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God. For they are foolishness to him. Neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
- 15But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
- 16For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
