mnt@1Corinthians:2:1 @ And when I came to you, brothers, I came not to proclaim Gods great secret purpose in fine language of philosophy;

mnt@1Corinthians:2:2 @ for I determined to know nothing, while among you, but Jesus as Christ, and him a crucified Christ.

mnt@1Corinthians:2:3 @ In weakness and fear and great trembling came I among you.

mnt@1Corinthians:2:4 @ My message and my preaching were not in the persuasive language of philosophy, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power;

mnt@1Corinthians:2:5 @ in order that your faith should rest, not on human philosophy, but on the power of God.

mnt@1Corinthians:2:6 @ Notwithstanding, among those who are mature I do teach philosophy; though not the philosophy of the present age, nor of its rulers who are coming to nought.

mnt@1Corinthians:2:7 @ No, it is Gods wisdom that I utter, that hidden wisdom which God had decreed before the world began, unto our glory.

mnt@1Corinthians:2:8 @ None of the rulers of the present age understands it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory.

mnt@1Corinthians:2:9 @ Nay, as it is written. Eye has not seen, Nor ear heard, Neither have entered into mans heart The things which God has prepared For those who love him.

mnt@1Corinthians:2:10 @ Yet God has unveiled them to us by his Spirit. For the Spirit fathoms everything, even the abysmal depths of God.

mnt@1Corinthians:2:11 @ For what man knows the depths of man except the mans own inner Spirit? Even so, also, the Spirit of God knows the deeps profound of God.

mnt@1Corinthians:2:12 @ But we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which comes forth from God, that we may realize the blessings freely given us by God.

mnt@1Corinthians:2:13 @ Of these high themes we speak in words not taught by human philosophy, but by the Spirit; interpreting spiritual things to spiritual men.

mnt@1Corinthians:2:14 @ The unspiritual man rejects the teachings of Gods Spirit; for him it is folly. He cannot understand it, for it is spiritually discerned,

mnt@1Corinthians:2:15 @ But the spiritual man discerns everything, yet is himself discerned by no one.

mnt@1Corinthians:2:16 @ For what man understands the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct Him?
