And I,
brethren, when I came to you, came not with
excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto
you the testimony of God.
02 For I determined not to know any thing among
you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
03 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear,
and in much trembling.
04 And my speech and my preaching was not with
enticing words of man's wisdom, but in
demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
05 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom
of men, but in the power of God.
06 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:
07 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery,
even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before
the world unto our glory:
08 Which none of the princes of this world knew:
for had they known it, they would not have
crucified the Lord of glory.
09 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.

10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his
Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea,
the deep things of God.
11 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.
12 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.
13 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.
14 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.
15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things,
yet he himself is judged of no man.
16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that
he may instruct him? But we have the mind of
Christ.
