1 Corinthians 2:2-11
2For I determinedG2919 to knowG3609 nothingG3756G5100 amongG1722 you exceptG1508 1JesusG2424 ChristG5547, and Him crucifiedG4717. 3I was with you in 2weaknessG769 and in 3fearG5401 and in muchG4183 tremblingG5156, 4and my 4messageG3056 and my preachingG2782 were 5not in persuasiveG3981 wordsG3056 of wisdomG4678, but in demonstrationG585 of 6the SpiritG4151 and of powerG1411, 5soG2443 that your faithG4102 would not 7restG1510 on the wisdomG4678 of menG444, but on 8the powerG1411 of GodG2316.
6YetG1161 we do speakG2980 wisdomG4678 amongG1722 thoseG3588 who are 9matureG5046; a wisdomG4678, howeverG1161, not of 10thisG3778 ageG165 norG3761 of the rulersG758 of 11thisG3778 ageG165, who are 12passingG2673 awayG2673; 7but we speakG2980 God’sG2316 wisdomG4678 in a 13mysteryG3466, the hiddenG613 wisdom whichG3739 GodG2316 14predestinedG4309 beforeG4253 the 15agesG165 to our gloryG1391; 8the wisdom 16whichG3739 noneG3762 of the rulersG758 of 17thisG3778 ageG165 has understoodG1097; for ifG1487 they had understoodG1097 it they would not have crucifiedG4717 18the LordG2962 of gloryG1391; 9but justG2531 as it is writtenG1125, “19Things whichG3739 eyeG3788 has not seenG3708 and earG3775 has not heardG191, And which have not enteredG305 the heartG2588 of manG444, AllG3745 that GodG2316 has preparedG2090 for thoseG3588 who loveG25 Him.” 102021For to us GodG2316 revealedG601 them 22throughG1223 the SpiritG4151; for the SpiritG4151 searchesG2045 allG3956 thingsG3956, evenG2532 the 23depthsG899 of GodG2316. 11For whoG5101 among menG444 knowsG3609 the thoughts of a manG444 exceptG1508 the 24spiritG4151 of the manG444 which is in him? EvenG2532 soG3779 the thoughts of GodG2316 noG3762 oneG3762 knowsG1097 exceptG1508 the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316.
