1 And I, note brethren, when I came to you, came
not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring to you the testimony
of God.
2 For I determined not to know any thing note among you
save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
3 And I was with you note in weakness,
and in fear, and in much trembling.
4 And my speech note and my preaching
was not with the persuasive words of human wisdom, but with the
demonstration of the Spirit and of power.
5 That your faith might not note
stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
6 Yet we speak wisdom note among them that are perfect: but not the wisdom
of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, that come to nought:
But we speak the note hidden wisdom of God in a mystery,
7 which God ordained
before the world for our glory;
8 Which none of the rulers of
this world knew; for had they known it, note they would not have crucified
the Lord of glory.
9 But note as it is written, note Eye hath not seen, nor hath
ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things
-- --
God hath prepared for them that love him.
10 But God hath revealed note
them to us by his Spirit; for the Spirit searcheth all things, even the deep
things of God.
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, note but the
spirit of a man which is in him? So the things of God also knoweth no
one, but the Spirit of God.
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of
the world, note but the Spirit which is of God, that we may know the things
which are freely given to us of God.
13 Which also we speak, note not in
words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Holy Spirit,
explaining spiritual things by spiritual words.
14 But the natural man note receiveth
not the things of the Spirit; for they are foolishness to him:
neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15 But
the spiritual man17Q0323 note discerneth all things, while he himself is discerned by
no man. note
16 For who note hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may
instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
