1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Yesseus (Christ), and him crucified.
3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words (of man's wisdom), but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom (of men), but in the power (of God).
6 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:
7 But we speak the wisdom (of God) in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
8 Which none of the princes (of this world) knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord (of glory).
9 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.[1]
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).
Read: Isaiah 64:4
