[1] When I came to you, brothers, I didn’t come with excellence of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God. [2] For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. [3] I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling. [4] My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, [5] that your faith wouldn’t stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. [6] We speak wisdom, however, among those who are full grown, yet a wisdom not of this world nor of the rulers of this world who are coming to nothing. [7] But we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory, [8] which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn’t have crucified the Lord of glory. [9] But as it is written,
“Things which an eye didn’t see, and an ear didn’t hear,
which didn’t enter into the heart of man,
these God has prepared for those who love him.”† [10] But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. [11] For who among men knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God except God’s Spirit. [12] But we received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that were freely given to us by God. [13] We also speak these things, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things. [14] Now the natural man doesn’t receive the things of God’s Spirit, for they are foolishness to him; and he can’t know them, because they are spiritually discerned. [15] But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is to be judged by no one. [16] “For who has known the mind of the Lord that he should instruct him?”† But we have Christ’s mind.

[1] And I,G2504 brethren,G80 when I cameG2064(Aor2ActPtc) toG4314 you,G5209 cameG2064(Aor2ActInd) notG3756 withG2596 excellencyG5247 of speechG3056 orG2228 of wisdom,G4678 declaringG2605(PresActPtc) unto youG5213 the testimonyG3142 of God.G2316 [2] ForG1063 I determinedG2919(AorActInd) notG3756 to knowG1492(PerfActInf) any thingG5100 amongG1722 you,G5213 saveG1508 JesusG2424 Christ,G5547 andG2532 himG5126 crucified.G4717(PerfPasPtc) [3] AndG2532 IG1473 wasG1096(Aor2MidDepInd) withG4314 youG5209 inG1722 weakness,G769 andG2532 inG1722 fear,G5401 andG2532 inG1722 muchG4183 trembling.G5156 [4] AndG2532 myG3450 speechG3056 andG2532 myG3450 preachingG2782 [was] notG3756 withG1722 enticingG3981 wordsG3056 of man’sG442 wisdom,G4678 butG235 inG1722 demonstrationG585 of the SpiritG4151 andG2532 of power:G1411 [5] ThatG2443 yourG5216 faithG4102 shouldG5600 notG3361 standG5600(PresSubj) inG1722 the wisdomG4678 of men,G444 butG235 inG1722 the powerG1411 of God.G2316 [6] HowbeitG1161 we speakG2980(PresActInd) wisdomG4678 amongG1722 them that are perfect:G5046 yetG1161 notG3756 the wisdomG4678 of thisG5127 world,G165 norG3761 of the princesG758 of thisG5127 world,G165 that come to nought:G2673(PresPasPtc) [7] ButG235 we speakG2980(PresActInd) the wisdomG4678 of GodG2316 inG1722 a mystery,G3466 [even] the hiddenG613(PerfPasPtc) [wisdom], whichG3739 GodG2316 ordainedG4309(AorActInd) beforeG4253 the worldG165 untoG1519 ourG2257 glory:G1391 [8] WhichG3739 noneG3762 of the princesG758 of thisG5127 worldG165 knew:G1097(PerfActInd) forG1487 had they knownG1097(Aor2ActInd) [it], theyG302 wouldG4717 notG3756 have crucifiedG4717(AorActInd) the LordG2962 of glory.G1391 [9] ButG235 asG2531 it is written,G1125(PerfPasInd) EyeG3788 hathG1492 notG3756 seen,G1492(Aor2ActInd) norG2532 earG3775 heard,G191(AorActInd) neitherG2532 have enteredG305(Aor2ActInd) intoG1909 the heartG2588 of man,G444 the things whichG3739 GodG2316 hath preparedG2090(AorActInd) for them that loveG25(PresActPtc) him.G846 [10] ButG1161 GodG2316 hath revealedG601(AorActInd) [them] unto usG2254 byG1223 hisG846 Spirit:G4151 forG1063 the SpiritG4151 searchethG2045(PresActInd) all things,G3956 yea,G2532 the deep thingsG899 of God.G2316 [11] ForG1063 whatG5101 manG444 knowethG1492(PerfActInd) the thingsG3588 of a man,G444 saveG1508 the spiritG4151 of manG444 whichG3588 is inG1722 him?G846 evenG2532 soG3779 the thingsG3588 of GodG2316 knowethG1492(PerfActInd) no man,G3762 butG1508 the SpiritG4151 of God.G2316 [12] NowG1161 weG2249 have received,G2983(Aor2ActInd) notG3756 the spiritG4151 of the world,G2889 butG235 the spiritG4151 whichG3588 is ofG1537 God;G2316 thatG2443 we might knowG1492(PerfActSubj) the things that are freely givenG5483(AorPasPtc) to usG2254 ofG5259 God.G2316 [13] Which thingsG3739 alsoG2532 we speak,G2980(PresActInd) notG3756 inG1722 the wordsG3056 which man’sG442 wisdomG4678 teacheth,G1318 butG235 which the HolyG40 GhostG4151 teacheth;G1722 comparingG4793(PresActPtc) spiritual thingsG4152 with spiritual.G4152 [14] ButG1161 the naturalG5591 manG444 receivethG1209(PresMidPasDepInd) notG3756 the thingsG3588 of the SpiritG4151 of God:G2316 forG1063 they areG2076(PresInd) foolishnessG3472 unto him:G846 neitherG2532 canG1410(PresMidPasDepInd) he knowG1097(Aor2ActInf) [them], becauseG3754 they are spirituallyG4153 discerned.G350(PresPasInd) [15] ButG1161 he that is spiritualG4152 judgethG350(PresActInd) all things,G3956 yetG1161 he himselfG846 is judgedG350(PresPasInd) ofG5259 no man.G3762 [16] ForG1063 whoG5101 hath knownG1097(Aor2ActInd) the mindG3563 of the Lord,G2962 thatG3739 he may instructG4822(FutActInd) him?G846 ButG1161 weG2249 haveG2192(PresActInd) the mindG3563 of Christ.G5547
