1 Corinthians 2:1-9

1When IG2504 cameG2064 toG4314 youG4771, brothersG80, I did not comeG3756G2064 withG2596 eloquenceG5247G3056 orG2228 wisdomG4678 as I proclaimedG2605 to youG4771 theG3588 testimonyG3142 about GodG2316. 2ForG1063 I resolvedG2919 to knowG1492 nothingG3756G5100 while I was withG1722 youG4771 exceptG1487G3361 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 andG2532 HimG3778 crucifiedG4717. 3IG2504 cameG1096 toG4314 youG4771 inG1722 weaknessG769 andG2532 fearG5401, andG2532 withG1722 muchG4183 tremblingG5156. 4MyG1473 messageG3056 andG2532 myG1473 preachingG2782 were notG3756 withG1722 persuasiveG3981 wordsG3056 of wisdomG4678, butG235 withG1722 a demonstrationG585 of the Spirit’sG4151 powerG1411, 5so thatG2443 yourG4771 faithG4102 would not restG3361G1510 onG1722 men’sG444 wisdomG4678, butG235 onG1722 God’sG2316 powerG1411.

6AmongG1722 theG3588 matureG5046, howeverG1161, we speak a messageG2980 of wisdomG4678—butG1161 notG3756 the wisdomG4678 of thisG3778 ageG165 or of theG3588 rulersG758 of thisG3778 ageG165, whoG3588 are coming to nothingG2673. 7NoG235, we speak ofG2980 the mysteriousG1722G3466 and hiddenG613 wisdomG4678 of GodG2316,1 whichG3739 He destinedG4309 forG1519 ourG1473 gloryG1391 beforeG4253 timeG165 began. 8NoneG3762 of theG3588 rulersG758 of thisG3778 ageG165 understoodG1097 it. ForG1063 ifG1487 they hadG1097, they would not have crucifiedG302G3756G4717 theG3588 LordG2962 of gloryG1391. 9RatherG235, asG2531 it is writtenG1125:

“NoG3756 eyeG3788 has seenG3708,noG3756 earG3775 has heardG191,noG3756 heartG2588 has imaginedG305G1909G444,whatG3745 GodG2316 has preparedG2090 for those whoG3588 loveG25 HimG846.”2
