1 Corinthians 2:3-10
3I also was with you in 1weakness and 2fear, and in great trembling, 4and my 3message and my preaching were 4not in persuasive words of 5wisdom, but in demonstration of 6the Spirit and of power, 5so that your faith would not 7rest on the 8wisdom of mankind, but on 9the power of God.
6Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are 10mature; a wisdom, however, not of 11this age nor of the rulers of 12this age, who are 13passing away; 7but we speak God’s wisdom in a 14mystery, the hidden wisdom which God 15predestined before the 16ages to our glory; 8the wisdom 17which none of the rulers of 18this age has understood; for if they had understood it, they would not have crucified 19the Lord of glory; 9but just as it is written: “20Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, And which have not entered the human heart, All that God has prepared for those who love Him.” 102122For to us God revealed them 23through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the 24depths of God.
