¶ The .ii. Chapter.
¶ It is not eloquence and gloryous paynted wordes
of wordly wysdome, that can edyfye, and conuerte
soules vnto Chryst, but the playne wordes of the
scrypture, for they make mencyon of hym and hys
crosse.
A And I brethren (when I came to
you) came not in gloriousnes of
wordes, or of wysdome, shewynge
vnto you the testimony of
God. Nether shewed I my selfe
that I knewe eny thynge amonge you, saue
Iesus Christ, euen the same that was crucifyed.
And I was among you in weaknes,
and in feare, and in moche tremblynge. And
my wordes and my preachynge was not &wt;
entysynge wordes of m&abar;nes wysdome: but
in shewynge of the sprete and of power, that
your fayth shuld not stande in the wysdome
of men, but in the power of God.
B We speake of wysdome amonge th&ebar; that
are perfecte: not the wysdome of this world,
nether of the rulars of this worlde (whych
go to nought) but we speake þe; wysdome of
God, whych is in secrete ∧ lyeth hyd, which
God ordeyned before the worlde, vnto oure
glory: which wysdome note none of the rulars
of this worlde knewe. For &rhand; had they had
knowlege, they wold not haue crucifyed the
Lorde of glory. But as it is written. noteThe
eye hath not sene, and the eare hath not heard,
nether haue entred into the hert of man,
the thynges which God hath prepared for
them that loue hym.
C But God hath opened th&ebar; vnto vs by his
sprete. For note the sprete searcheth all thinges,
ye the botome of Goddes secretes. For what
m&abar; knoweth þe; thinges of a m&abar;: saue þe; sprete
of man which is &wt; in him? Eu&ebar; so þe; thynges
of God knoweth no m&abar;, but þe; sprete of God.
And we haue not receaued the sprete of the
worlde: but þe; sprete which c&obar;meth of God,
for to knowe þe; thynges þt; are geuen to vs of
God:
D which thynges also we speake (not &wt;
wordes þt; m&abar;nes wysdome teacheth, but &wt;
wordes whych þe; holy ghost doth teache) makyng
spirituall c&obar;parisons of spretuall thinges.
&rhand; The naturall man perceaueth not þe;
thinges that bel&obar;ge to þe; sprete of God. For
they are but folyshnes vnto him. Nether can
he perceaue th&ebar;, because they are spretually
examined. But he þt; is spretual, discusseth all
thynges: yet he him selfe is iudged of no m&abar;.
noteFor who hath know&ebar; þe; mynde of þe; Lord,
other who shall informe hym? But we vnderstande
the mynde of Chryst.
