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