DRC - I Corinthians - 2

2:1  And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not in loftiness of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of Christ.

2:2  For I judged not myself to know anything among you, but Jesus Christ: and him crucified.

2:3  And I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling.

2:4  And my speech and my preaching was not in the persuasive words of human wisdom. but in shewing of the Spirit and power:

2:5  That your faith might not stand on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.

2:6  Howbeit we speak wisdom among the perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, neither of the princes of this world that come to nought.

2:7  But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, a wisdom which is hidden, which God ordained before the world, unto our glory:

2:8  Which none of the princes of this world knew. For if they had known it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory.

2:9  But, as it is written: That eye hath not seen, nor ear heard: neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that love him.

2:10  But to us God hath revealed them by his Spirit. For the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

2:11  For what man knoweth the things of a man, but the spirit of a man that is in him? So the things also that are of God, no man knoweth, but the Spirit of God.

2:12  Now, we have received not the spirit of this world, but the Spirit that is of God: that we may know the things that are given us from God.

2:13  Which things also we speak: not in the learned words of human wisdom, but in the doctrine of the Spirit, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

2:14  But the sensual man perceiveth not these things that are of the Spirit of God. For it is foolishness to him: and he cannot understand, because it is spiritually examined.

2:15  But the spiritual man judgeth all things: and he himself is judged of no man.

2:16  For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
