- 1
- And I brethren, when I came to you, came not in gloriousnesse of wordes, or of wisedome, shewing vnto you the testimonie of God.
- 2
- For I esteemed not to knowe any thyng among you saue Iesus Christe, and hym crucified.
- 3
- And I was among you in weaknesse, and in feare, and in much tremblyng.
- 4
- And my wordes and my preachyng was not with entysing wordes of mans wisedome, but in shewyng of the spirite, and of power:
- 5
- That your fayth should not stande in the wisedome of men, but in the power of God.
- 6
- And we speake wisedome among the that are perfite: not the wisedome of this world, neither of the princes of this world, which come to naught.
- 7
- But we speake the wisedome of God in a misterie [euen] the hyd [wisedome] which God ordeyned before the worlde, vnto our glorie.
- 8
- Which none of ye princes of this world knewe: For had they knowen it, they woulde not haue crucified the Lorde of glorie.
- 9
- But as it is written: The eye hath not seen, & the eare hath not heard, neither haue entred into the heart of man, the thynges which God hath prepared for them that loue hym.
- 10
- But God hath reuealed the vnto vs by his spirite: For the spirite searcheth all thinges, yea the deepe thinges of God.
- 11
- For what man knoweth the thynges of a man, saue ye spirite of man which is in hym?
Euen so, the thinges of God, knoweth no man, but ye spirite of God.
- 12
- And we haue receaued, not the spirite of the worlde, but the spirite which is of God, that we myght know the thinges that are geuen to vs of God.
- 13
- Which thynges also we speake, not in the wordes which mans wisedome teacheth, but which ye holy ghost teacheth, comparyng spirituall thynges with spirituall thynges.
- 14
- But the naturall man perceaueth not the thynges of ye spirite of God, for they are foolyshenesse vnto hym: Neither can he knowe [them] because they are spiritually discerned.
- 15
- But he that is spirituall, discerneth all thynges, yet he hym selfe is iudged of no man.
- 16
- For who hath knowen the mynde of the Lorde, that he myght instruct hym?
But we haue the mynde of Christe.
