1 Corinthians 2:1-9

1And I, brethren, whenG2064 I cameG2064 unto you, cameG2064 not with excellency of speechG3056 or of wisdomG4678, proclaimingG2605 to you the testimonyG3142 of GodG2316. 2For I determined not to know anythingG5100 among you, save JesusG2424 ChristG5547, and him crucifiedG4717. 3And I was with you in weaknessG769, and in fearG5401, and in muchG4183 trembling. 4And my speechG3056 and my preachingG2782 were not in persuasive wordsG3056 of wisdomG4678, but in demonstration of the SpiritG4151 and of powerG1411: 5that your faithG4102 should not stand in the wisdomG4678 of menG444, but in the powerG1411 of GodG2316.

6We speakG2980 wisdomG4678, howeverG1161, among them that are fullgrown: yet a wisdomG4678 not of this world, nor of the rulersG758 of this world, who are coming to nought: 7but we speakG2980 God’s wisdomG4678 in a mysteryG3466, even the wisdomG4678 that hath been hidden, which GodG2316 foreordained before the worlds unto our gloryG1391: 8which noneG3762 of the rulersG758 of this world hath knownG1097: for had they knownG1097 it, they would not have crucifiedG4717 the LordG2962 of gloryG1391: 9but as it is writtenG1125,

ThingsG3739 which eyeG3788 sawG3708 not, and earG3775 heardG191 not,Andwhichentered not into the heartG2588 of manG444,Whatsoever thingsG3739 GodG2316 preparedG2090 for them that loveG25 him.
