\c 2
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 1 When I came to you, brothers and sisters, I did not come with eloquence of speech or wisdom as I proclaimed hidden truths about God.
|
|
\v 2 For I decided to know nothing when I was among you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
|
|
\v 4 And my message and my proclamation were not with persuasive words of wisdom. Instead, they were with the demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
|
|
\v 5 so that your faith might not be in the wisdom of humans, but in the power of God.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 6 Now we do speak wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this world, or of the rulers of this age, who are passing away.
|
|
\v 7 Instead, we speak God's wisdom in hidden truth, the hidden wisdom that God predestined before the ages for our glory.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 8 None of the rulers of this age knew this wisdom, for if they had understood it at that time, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
|
|
\v 9 But as it is written,
|
|
\q "Things that no eye has seen,
|
|
\q1 no ear has heard,
|
|
\q no mind has imagined,
|
|
\q1 the things that God has prepared for those who love him."
|
|
\m
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 10 These are the things that God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the deep things of God.
|
|
\v 11 For who knows a person's thoughts except the spirit of the person in him? So also, no one knows the deep things of God except the Spirit of God.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 12 But we did not receive the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we might know the things freely given to us by God.
|
|
\v 13 We speak about these things in words that man's wisdom cannot teach, but which the Spirit teaches us. The Spirit interprets spiritual words with spiritual wisdom.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 14 The unspiritual person does not receive the things that belong to the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him. He cannot know them because they are spiritually discerned.
|
|
\v 15 The one who is spiritual judges all things, but he is not subject to the judgment of others.
|
|
\v 16
|
|
\q "For who can know the mind of the Lord, that he can instruct him?"
|
|
\m But we have the mind of Christ.
