1 - And I, having come unto you, brethren, came--not in superiority of discourse or wisdom--declaring to you the testimony of God,

2 - for I decided not to know any thing among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified;

3 - and I, in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling, was with you;

4 - and my word and my preaching was not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power--

5 - that your faith may not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

6 - And wisdom we speak among the perfect, and wisdom not of this age, nor of the rulers of this age--of those becoming useless,

7 - but we speak the hidden wisdom of God in a secret, that God foreordained before the ages to our glory,

8 - which no one of the rulers of this age did know, for if they had known, the Lord of the glory they would not have crucified;

9 - but, according as it hath been written, `What eye did not see, and ear did not hear, and upon the heart of man came not up, what God did prepare for those loving Him--'

10 - but to us did God reveal <FI>them<Fi> through His Spirit, for the Spirit all things doth search, even the depths of God,

11 - for who of men hath known the things of the man, except the spirit of the man that <FI>is<Fi> in him? so also the things of God no one hath known, except the Spirit of God.

12 - And we the spirit of the world did not receive, but the Spirit that <FI>is<Fi> of God, that we may know the things conferred by God on us,

13 - which things also we speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Holy Spirit, with spiritual things spiritual things comparing,

14 - and the natural man doth not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for to him they are foolishness, and he is not able to know <FI>them<Fi> , because spiritually they are discerned;

15 - and he who is spiritual, doth discern indeed all things, and he himself is by no one discerned;

16 - for who did know the mind of the Lord that he shall instruct Him? and we--we have the mind of Christ.
