| 1st Corinthians 2:1 | And as for myself, brethren, when I came to you, it was not with surpassing power of eloquence or earthly wisdom that I came, announcing to you that which God had commanded me to bear witness to. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Corinthians 2:2 | For I determined to be utterly ignorant, when among you, of everything except of Jesus Christ, and of Him as having been crucified. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Corinthians 2:3 | And so far as I myself was concerned, I came to you in conscious feebleness and in fear and in deep anxiety. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Corinthians 2:4 | And my language and the Message that I proclaimed were not adorned with persuasive words of earthly wisdom, but depended upon truths which the Spirit taught and mightily carried home; | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Corinthians 2:5 | so that your trust might rest not on the wisdom of man but on the power of God. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Corinthians 2:6 | Yet when we are among mature believers we do speak words of wisdom; a wisdom not belonging, however, to the present age nor to the leaders of the present age who are soon to pass away. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Corinthians 2:7 | But in dealing with truths hitherto kept secret we speak of God's wisdom that hidden wisdom which, before the world began, God pre-destined, so that it should result in glory to us; | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Corinthians 2:8 | a wisdom which not one of the leaders of the present age possesses, for if they had possessed it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Corinthians 2:9 | But to use the words of Scripture we speak of things which eye has not seen nor ear heard, and which have never entered the heart of man: all that God has in readiness for them that love Him. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Corinthians 2:10 | For us, however, God has drawn aside the veil through the teaching of the Spirit; for the Spirit searches everything, including the depths of the divine nature. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Corinthians 2:11 | For, among human beings, who knows a man's inner thoughts except the man's own spirit within him? In the same way, also, only God's Spirit is acquainted with God's inner thoughts. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Corinthians 2:12 | But we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which comes forth from God, that we may know the blessings that have been so freely given to us by God. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Corinthians 2:13 | Of these we speak not in language which man's wisdom teaches us, but in that which the Spirit teaches adapting, as we do, spiritual words to spiritual truths. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Corinthians 2:14 | The unspiritual man rejects the things of the Spirit of God, and cannot attain to the knowledge of them, because they are spiritually judged. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Corinthians 2:15 | But the spiritual man judges of everything, although he is himself judged by no one. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Corinthians 2:16 | For who has penetrated the mind of the Lord, and will instruct Him? But *we* have the mind of Christ. | |||||||||||||||
