1: And I,_G2504 having come_G2064 to_G4314 you,_G4771 brothers,_G0080 came_G2064 not_G3756 according to_G2596 excellency_G5247 of speech,_G3056 or_G2228 wisdom,_G4678 proclaiming_G2605 to you_G4771 the_G3588 testimony_G3142 -_G3588 of God._G2316

2: Nothing_G3756 for_G1063 I decided_G2919 anything_G5100 to know_G1492 among_G1722 you,_G4771 if_G1487 not_G3361 Jesus_G2424 Christ,_G5547 and_G2532 Him_G3778 having been crucified._G4717

3: And I,_G2504 in_G1722 weakness,_G0769 and_G2532 in_G1722 fear,_G5401 and_G2532 in_G1722 trembling_G5156 much,_G4183 was_G1096 with_G4314 you._G4771

4: And_G2532 the_G3588 message_G3056 of me_G1473 and_G2532 the_G3588 preaching_G2782 of me_G1473 [were] not_G3756 in_G1722 persuasive_G3981 of wisdom_G4678 words,_G3056 but_G0235 in_G1722 demonstration_G0585 of [the] Spirit_G4151 and_G2532 of power,_G1411

5: so that_G2443 the_G3588 faith_G4102 of you_G4771 not_G3361 might be_G1510 in_G1722 wisdom_G4678 of men,_G0444 but_G0235 in_G1722 power_G1411 of God._G2316

6: Wisdom_G4678 however_G1161 we speak_G2980 among_G1722 the_G3588 mature;_G5046 wisdom_G4678 however,_G1161 not_G3756 the_G3588 age_G0165 of this,_G3778 nor_G3761 of the_G3588 rulers_G0758 the_G3588 age_G0165 of this,_G3778 who_G3588 are coming to naught._G2673

7: But_G0235 we speak_G2980 of God_G2316 wisdom_G4678 in_G1722 a mystery,_G3466 -_G3588 having been hidden,_G0613 which_G3739 foreordained_G4309 -_G3588 God_G2316 before_G4253 the_G3588 ages_G0165 for_G1519 glory_G1391 of us,_G1473

8: which_G3739 none_G3762 of the_G3588 rulers_G0758 the_G3588 age_G0165 of this_G3778 has understood;_G1097 if_G1487 for_G1063 they had understood [it],_G1097 not_G3756 -_G0302 the_G3588 Lord_G2962 -_G3588 of glory_G1391 they would have crucified,_G4717

9: but_G0235 as_G2531 it has been written:_G1125 What_G3739 eye_G3788 not_G3756 has seen,_G3708 and_G2532 ear_G3775 not_G3756 has heard,_G0191 and_G2532 into_G1909 heart_G2588 of man_G0444 not_G3756 has entered,_G0305 what_G3745 has prepared_G2090 -_G3588 God_G2316 for those_G3588 loving_G0025 Him._G0846

10: To us_G1473 for_G1063 has revealed [it]_G0601 -_G3588 God_G2316 through_G1223 the_G3588 Spirit._G4151 The_G3588 for_G1063 Spirit_G4151 all things_G3956 searches,_G2045 even_G2532 the_G3588 depths_G0899 -_G3588 of God._G2316

11: Who_G5101 for_G1063 knows_G1492 among men_G0444 the things_G3588 of the_G3588 man,_G0444 if_G1487 not_G3361 the_G3588 spirit_G4151 of the_G3588 man_G0444 that [is]_G3588 within_G1722 him?_G0846 So_G3779 also_G2532 the things_G3588 -_G3588 of God_G2316 no one_G3762 knows,_G1097 if_G1487 not_G3361 the_G3588 Spirit_G4151 -_G3588 of God._G2316

12: We_G1473 now,_G1161 not_G3756 the_G3588 spirit_G4151 of the_G3588 world_G2889 have received,_G2983 but_G0235 the_G3588 Spirit_G4151 who [is]_G3588 from_G1537 -_G3588 God,_G2316 that_G2443 we may know_G1492 the things_G3588 by_G5259 -_G3588 God_G2316 having been granted_G5483 to us,_G1473

13: which_G3739 also_G2532 we speak,_G2980 not_G3756 in_G1722 taught_G1318 of human_G0442 wisdom_G4678 words,_G3056 but_G0235 in [those]_G1722 taught_G1318 of [the] Spirit,_G4151 by spiritual [means]_G4152 spiritual things_G4152 communicating._G4793

14: [The] natural_G5591 however_G1161 man_G0444 not_G3756 accepts_G1209 the things_G3588 of the_G3588 Spirit_G4151 -_G3588 of God;_G2316 foolishness_G3472 for_G1063 to him_G0846 they are,_G1510 and_G2532 not_G3756 he is able_G1410 to understand [them],_G1097 because_G3754 spiritually_G4153 they are discerned._G0350

15: He who [is]_G3588 however_G1161 spiritual_G4152 judges_G0350 -_G3588 all things_G3956 he himself,_G0846 however_G1161 by_G5259 no one_G3762 is judged._G0350

16: Who_G5101 for_G1063 has known_G1097 [the] mind_G3563 of [the] Lord?_G2962 Who_G3739 will instruct_G4822 Him?_G0846 We_G1473 however_G1161 [the] mind_G3563 of Christ_G5547 have._G2192
