1Co2:1 And when I came to you, brethren, I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.
1Co2:2 For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.
1Co2:3 And I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling.
1Co2:4 And my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
1Co2:5 that your faith should not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.
1Co2:6 Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are mature; a wisdom, however, not of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing away;
1Co2:7 but we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the hidden [wisdom], which God predestined before the ages to our glory;
1Co2:8 [the wisdom] which none of the rulers of this age has understood; for if they had understood it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory;
1Co2:9 but just as it is written, "Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, And [which] have not entered the heart of man, All that God has prepared for those who love Him."
1Co2:10 For to us God revealed [them] through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.
1Co2:11 For who among men knows the [thoughts] of a man except the spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so the [thoughts] of God no one knows except the Spirit of God.
1Co2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things freely given to us by God,
1Co2:13 which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual [thoughts] with spiritual [words].
1Co2:14 But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised.
1Co2:15 But he who is spiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no man.
1Co2:16 For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.
