Paul's Message by the Spirit's Power
1 AND I (brethren) when I came to you, I came not in loftiness of speech or of wisdom, preaching to you the testimony of Christ.📜💬📚
2 For I judged not my self to know any thing among you but JESUS Christ, and him crucified.📜💬📚
3 And I was with you in infirmity, and fear and much trembling:📜💬📚
4 and my speech and my preaching was not in the persuasible words of human wisdom, but in shewing of spirit and power;📜💬📚
5 that your faith might not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. But we speak wisdom among the perfect.📜💬📚
Spiritual Wisdom
6 But the wisdom not of this world, neither of the princes of this world, that come to naught:📜💬📚
7 but we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, which is hid, which God did predestinate before the worlds, unto our glory:📜💬📚
8 which none of the princes of this world did know: for if they had known, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory.📜💬📚
9 But as it is written: That which eye hath not seen, nor ear hath heard, neither hath it ascended into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that love him.📜💬📚
10 But to us God hath revealed by his Spirit. For the Spirit searcheth all things, yea the profundities of God.📜💬📚
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, but the spirit of a man that is in him? so the things also that are of God no man knoweth, but the spirit of God.📜💬📚
12 And we have received not the spirit of this world, but the spirit that is of God: that we may know the things that of God are given to us.📜💬📚
13 Which also we speak not in learned words of human wisdom; but in the doctrine of the Spirit, comparing spiritual things to the spiritual.📜💬📚
14 But the sensual man perceiveth not those things that are of the Spirit of God. For it is foolishness to him, and he can not understand; because he is spiritually examined.📜💬📚
15 But the spiritual man judgeth all things: and himself is judged of no man.📜💬📚
16 For who hath known the sense of our Lord that may instruct him? But we have the sense of Christ.📜💬📚
