Corinthians
2
And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not in loftiness
of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony
of Christ.
For I judged not myself to know anything among you,
but Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in
much trembling.
And my speech and my preaching was not in the persuasive
words of human wisdom, but in shewing of the Spirit
and power;
That your faith might not stand on the wisdom of men,
but on the power of God.
Howbeit we speak wisdom among the perfect: yet not the
wisdom of this world, neither of the princes of this
world that come to nought;
But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, a wisdom
which is hidden, which God ordained before the world,
unto our glory :
Which none of the princes of this world knew; for if
they had known it, they would never have crucified the
Lord of glory.
But, as it is written: That eye hath not seen, nor ear
heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man,
what things God hath prepared for them that love him.
But to us God hath revealed them, by this Spirit. For
the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things
of God.
For what man knoweth the things of a man, but the spirit
of a man that is in him? So the things also that are
of God no man knoweth, but the Spirit of God.
Now we have received not the spirit of this world, but
the Spirit that is of God; that we may know the things
that are given us from God.
Which things also we speak, not in the learned words
of human wisdom; but in the doctrine of the Spirit,
comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
But the sensual man perceiveth not these things that
are of the Spirit of God; for it is foolishness to him,
and he cannot understand, because it is spiritually
examined.
But the spiritual man judgeth all things; and he himself
is judged of no man.
For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that we may
instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
