1When I came to you , brothers, I didn’t come with excellence of speech or of wisdom , proclaiming to you the testimony of God .
2For I determined not to know anything amongst you except Jesus Christ and him crucified .
3I was with you in weakness, in fear , and in much trembling .
4My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom , but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power ,
5that your faith wouldn’t stand in the wisdom of men , but in the power of God .
6We speak wisdom , however , amongst those who are full grown, yet a wisdom not of this world nor of the rulers of this world who are coming to nothing .
7But we speak God ’s wisdom in a mystery , the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory ,
8which none of the rulers of this world has known . For had they known it , they wouldn’t have crucified the Lord of glory .
9But 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 .”
10But to us , God revealed them through the Spirit . For the Spirit searches all things , yes , the deep things of God .
11For who amongst 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 .
12But 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 .
13We also speak these things , not in words which man ’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things .
14Now 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.
15But 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 .[#Isaiah 40:13]
