1And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not in loftiness of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of Christ.Select 1 Corinthians 2:1

2For I judged not myself to know anything among you, but Jesus Christ: and him crucified.Select 1 Corinthians 2:2

3And I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling.Select 1 Corinthians 2:3

4And my speech and my preaching was not in the persuasive words of human wisdom. but in shewing of the Spirit and power:Select 1 Corinthians 2:4

5That your faith might not stand on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.Select 1 Corinthians 2:5

6Howbeit we speak wisdom among the perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, neither of the princes of this world that come to nought.Select 1 Corinthians 2:6

7But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, a wisdom which is hidden, which God ordained before the world, unto our glory:Select 1 Corinthians 2:7

8Which none of the princes of this world knew. For if they had known it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory.Select 1 Corinthians 2:8

9But, as it is written: That eye hath not seen, nor ear heard: neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that love him.Select 1 Corinthians 2:9

10But to us God hath revealed them by his Spirit. For the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.Select 1 Corinthians 2:10

11For what man knoweth the things of a man, but the spirit of a man that is in him? So the things also that are of God, no man knoweth, but the Spirit of God.Select 1 Corinthians 2:11

12Now, we have received not the spirit of this world, but the Spirit that is of God: that we may know the things that are given us from God.Select 1 Corinthians 2:12

13Which things also we speak: not in the learned words of human wisdom, but in the doctrine of the Spirit, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.Select 1 Corinthians 2:13

14But the sensual man perceiveth not these things that are of the Spirit of God. For it is foolishness to him: and he cannot understand, because it is spiritually examined.Select 1 Corinthians 2:14

15But the spiritual man judgeth all things: and he himself is judged of no man.Select 1 Corinthians 2:15

16For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.Select 1 Corinthians 2:16
