1Corinthians:2:6-16
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect :
yet not the wisdom of this world ,
nor of the princes of this world ,
that come to nought :
*
But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery ,
even the hidden wisdom ,
which God ordained before the world unto our glory :
*
Which none of the princes of this world knew :
for had they known it ,
they would not have crucified the Lord of glory .
*
But as it is written ,
Eye hath not seen ,
nor ear heard ,
neither have entered into the heart of man ,
the things which God hath prepared for them that love him .
*
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit :
for the Spirit searcheth all things ,
yea ,
the deep things of God .
*
For what man knoweth the things of a man ,
save the spirit of man which is in him ?
even so the things of God knoweth no man ,
but the Spirit of God .
*
Now we have received ,
not the spirit of the world ,
but the spirit which is of God ;
that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God .
*
Which things also we speak ,
not in the words which man '
s wisdom teacheth ,
but which the Holy Ghost teacheth ;
comparing spiritual things with spiritual .
*
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God :
for they are foolishness unto him :
neither can he know them ,
because they are spiritually discerned .
*
But he that is spiritual judgeth all things ,
yet he himself is judged of no man .
*
For who hath known the mind of the Lord ,
that he may instruct him ?
But we have the mind of Christ .
