And I,{G2504} brethren,{G80} when I came{G2064} unto{G4314} you,{G5209} came{G2064} not{G3756} with{G2596} excellency{G5247} of speech{G3056} or{G2228} of wisdom,{G4678} proclaiming{G2605} to you{G5213} the testimony{G3142} of God.{G2316}

For{G1063} I determined{G2919} not{G3756} to know{G1492} anything{G5100} among{G1722} you,{G5213} save{G1487} {G3361} Jesus{G2424} Christ,{G5547} and{G2532} him{G5126} crucified.{G4717}

And{G2532} I{G1473} was{G1096} with{G4314} you{G5209} in{G1722} weakness,{G769} and{G2532} in{G1722} fear,{G5401} and{G2532} in{G1722} much{G4183} trembling.{G5156}

And{G2532} my{G3450} speech{G3056} and{G2532} my{G3450} preaching{G2782} were not{G3756} in{G1722} persuasive{G3981} words{G3056} of {G442} wisdom,{G4678} but{G235} in{G1722} demonstration{G585} of the Spirit{G4151} and{G2532} of power:{G1411}

that{G2443} your{G5216} faith{G4102} should not{G3361} stand{G5600} in{G1722} the wisdom{G4678} of men,{G444} but{G235} in{G1722} the power{G1411} of God.{G2316}

We speak{G2980} wisdom,{G4678} however,{G1161} among{G1722} them{G3588} that are fullgrown:{G5046} yet{G1161} a wisdom{G4678} not{G3756} of this{G5127} world,{G165} nor{G3761} of the rulers{G758} of this{G5127} world,{G165} who{G3588} are coming to nought:{G2673}

but{G235} we speak{G2980} God's{G2316} wisdom{G4678} in{G1722} a mystery,{G3466} [even] the [wisdom] that hath been hidden,{G613} which{G3739} God{G2316} foreordained{G4309} before{G4253} the worlds{G165} unto{G1519} our{G2257} glory:{G1391}

which{G3739} none{G3762} of the rulers{G758} of this{G5127} world{G165} hath known:{G1097} for{G1063} had{G1487} they known{G1097} it, they would{G4717} not{G3756} have{G302} crucified{G4717} the Lord{G2962} of glory:{G1391}

but{G235} as{G2531} it is written,{G1125} Things which {G3739} eye{G3788} saw{G1492} not,{G3756} and{G2532} {G3756} ear{G3775} heard{G191} not, And{G2532} [which] entered{G305} not{G3756} into{G1909} the heart{G2588} of man,{G444} Whatsoever{G3739} things God{G2316} prepared{G2090} for them{G3588} that love{G25} him.{G846}

But{G1161} unto us{G2254} God{G2316} revealed{G601} [them] through{G1223} the{G846} Spirit:{G4151} for{G1063} the Spirit{G4151} searcheth{G2045} all things,{G3956} yea,{G2532} the deep things{G899} of God.{G2316}

For{G1063} who{G5101} among men{G444} knoweth{G1492} the things{G3588} of a man,{G444} save{G1487} {G3361} the spirit{G4151} of the man,{G444} which is{G3588} in{G1722} him?{G846} even{G2532} so{G3779} the things{G3588} of God{G2316} none{G3762} knoweth,{G1492} save{G1487} {G3361} the Spirit{G4151} of God.{G2316}

But{G1161} we{G2249} received,{G2983} not{G3756} the spirit{G4151} of the world,{G2889} but{G235} the spirit{G4151} which is{G3588} from{G1537} God;{G2316} that{G2443} we might know{G1492} the things that{G3588} were freely given{G5483} to us{G2254} of{G5259} God.{G2316}

Which things{G3739} also{G2532} we speak,{G2980} not{G3756} in{G1722} words{G3056} which man's{G442} wisdom{G4678} teacheth,{G1318} but{G235} which{G1722} the {G40} Spirit{G4151} teacheth;{G1318} combining{G4793} spiritual{G4152} things with spiritual{G4152} [words].

Now{G1161} the natural{G5591} man{G444} receiveth{G1209} not{G3756} the things{G3588} of the Spirit{G4151} of God:{G2316} for{G1063} they are{G2076} foolishness{G3472} unto him;{G846} and{G2532} he {G3756} cannot{G1410} know{G1097} them, because{G3754} they are spiritually{G4153} judged.{G350}

But{G1161} he that{G3588} is spiritual{G4152} {G3303} judgeth{G350} all things,{G3956} and{G1161} he himself{G846} is judged{G350} of{G5259} no man.{G3762}

For{G1063} who{G5101} hath known{G1097} the mind{G3563} of the Lord,{G2962} that{G3739} he should instruct{G4822} him?{G846} But{G1161} we{G2249} have{G2192} the mind{G3563} of Christ.{G5547}
