1 Corinthians 2:1-7

1And when I cameG2064 to you, brethrenG80, I 1did not comeG2064 with superiorityG5247 of speechG3056 orG2228 of wisdomG4678, proclaimingG2605 to you 2the 3testimonyG3142 of GodG2316. 2For I determinedG2919 to knowG3609 nothingG3756G5100 amongG1722 you exceptG1508 4JesusG2424 ChristG5547, and Him crucifiedG4717. 3I was with you in 5weaknessG769 and in 6fearG5401 and in muchG4183 tremblingG5156, 4and my 7messageG3056 and my preachingG2782 were 8not in persuasiveG3981 wordsG3056 of wisdomG4678, but in demonstrationG585 of 9the SpiritG4151 and of powerG1411, 5soG2443 that your faithG4102 would not 10restG1510 on the wisdomG4678 of menG444, but on 11the powerG1411 of GodG2316.

6YetG1161 we do speakG2980 wisdomG4678 amongG1722 thoseG3588 who are 12matureG5046; a wisdomG4678, howeverG1161, not of 13thisG3778 ageG165 norG3761 of the rulersG758 of 14thisG3778 ageG165, who are 15passingG2673 awayG2673; 7but we speakG2980 God’sG2316 wisdomG4678 in a 16mysteryG3466, the hiddenG613 wisdom whichG3739 GodG2316 17predestinedG4309 beforeG4253 the 18agesG165 to our gloryG1391;
