The Hidden Wisdom of God
1 Cor 2:1-16 (KJV)
And I, brethren, when I came to
you,
came not with excellency of speech or
of wisdom,
declaring unto you the testimony
of God.
{2} For I determined not to know any thing
among you,
{except} Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
{3} And I was with you in weakness, and
in fear, and in much trembling.
{4} And my speech and my preaching
was not with enticing words of man's wisdom,
but in demonstration of the Spirit and
of power:
{5} That your faith should not stand
in the wisdom of men,
but in the power of God.
{6} {although} we {do} speak wisdom among
them that are {more mature}:
yet not the wisdom of this world,
nor of the princes of this world, that
come to {nothing}:
{7} But we speak the wisdom of God in
a mystery,
even the hidden wisdom,
which God ordained before the world unto
our glory:
{8} Which none of the princes of this
world knew:
for had they known it,
they would not have crucified the Lord
of glory.
{9} But as it is written, Eye hath not
seen, nor ear heard,
neither have entered into the heart of
man,
the things which God hath prepared for
them that love him.
{10} But God hath revealed them unto us
by his Spirit:
for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea,
the deep things of God.
{11} For what man knoweth the things of
a man,
{except} the spirit of man which
is in him?
even so the things of God knoweth no man,
but the Spirit of God {does}.
{12} Now we have received, not the spirit
of the world,
but the spirit which is of God;
that we might know the things that are
freely given to us of God.
{13} Which things also we speak,
not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth,
but which the Holy Ghost teacheth;
comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
{14} But the natural man receiveth not
the things of the Spirit of God:
for they are foolishness unto him:
neither can he know them,
because they are spiritually discerned.
{15} But he that is spiritual judgeth
all things,
yet he himself is judged of no man.
{16} For who hath known the mind of the
Lord,
that he may instruct him?
But we have the mind of Christ.
