World English Bible
When I came to you, brothers, I did
not
come with eloquence
or wisdom as
I
proclaimed
to you the testimony about
God.
When I came to you, brothers, I didn't
come with excellence
of
speech
or of
wisdom ,
proclaiming
to 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 anything
among
you ,
except Jesus Christ ,
and him crucified.
I came
to
you in weakness and
fear, and with
much trembling.
I was
with
you in weakness ,
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,
My speech
and my preaching were not in
persuasive words of human
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 wouldn't
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.
We
speak
wisdom
, however, among
those
who
are
full
grown;
yet
a wisdom not of this world,
nor
of the rulers of this world
, who are coming to nothing.
No,
we speak of
the mysterious
and
hidden
wisdom of
God
, which He
destined
for our glory before
time
began.
But
we speak God's
wisdom
in
a
mystery,
the wisdom that
has
been
hidden
, which God
foreordained
before
the
worlds
for 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 rulers of this world
has
known
. For had they
known
it
, they wouldn't
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 ,
"Things
which
an
eye didn't
see
, and
an
ear didn't
hear
, Which
didn't
enter
into
the
heart of
man
, These
God has prepared for those who love him. "
But God
has
revealed
it
to us by
the Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even
the deep things of God.
But to us ,
God
revealed
them
through
the Spirit. For
the Spirit searches all things, yes,
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 who among men knows the things
of a
man ,
except the
spirit of
the
man,
which
is
in
him? Even
so, no one knows the things
of God ,
except God's
Spirit.
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.
But
we received ,
not
the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which
is from God, that we might
know
the
things
that
were
freely given to
us by
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 words which
man's
wisdom teaches
, but which
the Holy
Spirit teaches
, comparing
spiritual things
with
spiritual things
.
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.
Now
the natural man doesn't
receive
the things of God's
Spirit,
for they are foolishness to him, and he can't
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
who
is
spiritual discerns
all things, and
he himself is judged
by
no
one
.
“
For who has known the mind of the Lord, so
as
to
instruct Him? ”
But we have the
mind of
Christ
.
"
For who has known the mind of the Lord, that
he
should
instruct him? "
But we have Christ's
mind.
