* And I , brethren , when I came (5631 ) to you , came (5627 ) not with excellency of speech or of wisdom , declaring (5723 ) unto you the testimony of God .2 * For I determined (5656 ) not to know (5760 ) any thing among you , save Jesus Christ , and him crucified (5772 ). * And I was (5633 ) with you in weakness , and in fear , and in much trembling . * And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of mans wisdom , but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power : * That your faith should not stand (5753 ) in the wisdom of men , but in the power of God . * Howbeit we speak (5719 ) wisdom among them that are perfect : yet not the wisdom of this world , nor of the princes of this world , that come to nought (5746 ): * But we speak (5719 ) the wisdom of God in a mystery , even the hidden (5772 ) wisdom , which God ordained (5656 ) before the world unto our glory : * Which none of the princes of this world knew (5758 ): for had they known (5627 ) it , they would not have crucified (5656 ) the Lord of glory . * But as it is written (5769 ), Eye hath not seen (5627 ), nor ear heard (5656 ), neither have entered (5627 ) into the heart of man , the things which God hath prepared (5656 ) for them that love (5723 ) him . * But God hath revealed (5656 ) them unto us by his Spirit : for the Spirit searcheth (5719 ) all things , yea , the deep things of God . * For what man knoweth (5758 ) the things of a man , save the spirit of man which is in him ? even so the things of God knoweth (5758 ) no man , but the Spirit of God . * Now we have received (5627 ), not the spirit of the world , but the spirit which is of God ; that we might know (5762 ) the things that are freely given (5685 ) to us of God . * Which things also we speak (5719 ), not in the words which mans wisdom teacheth , but which the Holy Ghost teacheth ; comparing (5723 ) spiritual things with spiritual . * But the natural man receiveth (5736 ) not the things of the Spirit of God : for they are (5748 ) foolishness unto him : neither can (5736 ) he know (5629 ) them , because they are spiritually discerned (5743 ). * But he that is spiritual judgeth (5719 ) all things , yet he himself is judged (5743 ) of no man . * For who hath known (5627 ) the mind of the Lord , that he may instruct (5692 ) him ? But we have (5719 ) the mind of Christ .
