KJV
King James Version
When I came to you, brothers,
I
did
not come
with eloquence
or wisdom as
I
proclaimed
to
you the testimony about
God.
And
I,
brethren,
when I came to you, came
not with excellency
of
speech
or of
wisdom ,
declaring
unto
you the testimony of
God.
For I resolved
to know nothing
while
I
was
with
you except
Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
For I determined
not
to know any
thing
among
you ,
save
Jesus Christ ,
and him crucified.
I came
to
you in weakness and fear, and with
much trembling.
And
I was
with
you in weakness ,
and in
fear, and in
much trembling.
My message
and my preaching were
not with persuasive
words of wisdom, but with
a
demonstration of the Spirit’s
power ,
And
my speech
and my preaching was
not with enticing
words of man's
wisdom, but in
demonstration of the Spirit
and
of
power :
so
that your faith would
not rest
on
men’s
wisdom, but on
God’s
power.
That your faith should
not stand
in
the
wisdom of
men
, but in
the
power of
God
.
Among
the
mature,
however,
we speak a
message
of
wisdom —but
not the wisdom of this age
or
of the rulers
of this age
, who
are
coming
to nothing.
Howbeit
we speak wisdom among
them
that
are
perfect:
yet
not the wisdom of this world,
nor
of the princes
of this world
, that
come
to nought:
No,
we speak of
the mysterious
and
hidden
wisdom of God, which He
destined
for
our glory before
time
began.
But
we speak the wisdom of God in
a
mystery
, even
the
hidden
wisdom,
which God
ordained
before
the
world
unto
our glory :
None of the rulers
of this age
understood
it.
For if
they
had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
Which
none of the princes
of this world
knew:
for had they
known
it
, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
Rather,
as it is written :
“No
eye has
seen, no
ear has
heard, no
heart has
imagined
, what
God has
prepared for those
who
love Him. ”
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.
But God has
revealed it
to
us by the
Spirit .
The Spirit searches
all things, even
the deep things of God.
But God hath
revealed them
unto
us by his
Spirit :
for
the Spirit searcheth
all things, yea,
the deep things of God.
For who
among
men
knows
the thoughts
of man except
his
own
spirit within
him? So too,
no
one
knows
the thoughts
of God except
the Spirit of God.
For what
man
knoweth
the things
of a
man ,
save
the
spirit of
man
which
is
in
him? even
so the things
of God knoweth
no
man,
but
the Spirit of God.
We have not
received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who
is from
God ,
that we may
understand
what
God
has
freely given us.
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
.
And
this
is
what
we speak, not in words taught
us
by
human
wisdom, but in
words
taught
by
the Spirit,
expressing
spiritual truths
in
spiritual words
.
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.
The natural man does
not accept
the things that
come
from
the Spirit of God .
For they are foolishness to
him ,
and
he cannot
understand
them, because they are spiritually discerned.
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.
The
spiritual man
judges
all things, but
he himself is not
subject
to
anyone’s
judgment
.
But
he
that
is
spiritual judgeth
all things, yet
he himself is judged
of
no
man
.
“
For who has
known the mind of the Lord, so
as
to
instruct Him? ”
But we have the mind of Christ.
For who hath
known the mind of the Lord, that
he
may
instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
