I CORINTHIANS ยท Chapter 2
2:1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of
speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
2:2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ,
and him crucified.
2:3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
2:4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing
words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
2:5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the
power of God.
2:6 Nevertheless 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
nothing:
2:7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom,
which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
2:8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known
it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
2:9 But as it is written, Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither
have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for
them that love him.
2:10 But God has revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for
the Spirit searches all things, yea, the deep things of God.
2:11 For 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.
2:12 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.
2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which
man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches; comparing
spiritual things with spiritual.
2:14 But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know
them, because they are spiritually discerned.
2:15 But he that is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is
judged of no man.
2:16 For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him?
But we have the mind of Christ.
