2:1 | And I <2504>, brethren <80>, when I came <2064> (5631) to <4314> you <5209>, came <2064> (5627) not <3756> with <2596> excellency <5247> of speech <3056> or <2228> of wisdom <4678>, declaring <2605> (5723) unto you <5213> the testimony <3142> of God <2316>. |
2:2 | For <1063> I determined <2919> (5656) not <3756> to know <1492> (5760) any thing <5100> among <1722> you <5213>, save <1508> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, and <2532> him <5126> crucified <4717> (5772). |
2:3 | And <2532> I <1473> was <1096> (5633) with <4314> you <5209> in <1722> weakness <769>, and <2532> in <1722> fear <5401>, and <2532> in <1722> much <4183> trembling <5156>. |
2:4 | And <2532> my <3450> speech <3056> and <2532> my <3450> preaching <2782> [was] not <3756> with <1722> enticing <3981> words <3056> of man's <442> wisdom <4678>, but <235> in <1722> demonstration <585> of the Spirit <4151> and <2532> of power <1411>: {enticing: or, persuasible} |
2:5 | That <2443> your <5216> faith <4102> should <5600> (0) not <3361> stand <5600> (5753) in <1722> the wisdom <4678> of men <444>, but <235> in <1722> the power <1411> of God <2316>. {stand: Gr. be} |
2:6 | Howbeit <1161> we speak <2980> (5719) wisdom <4678> among <1722> them that are perfect <5046>: yet <1161> not <3756> the wisdom <4678> of this <5127> world <165>, nor <3761> of the princes <758> of this <5127> world <165>, that come to nought <2673> (5746): |
2:7 | But <235> we speak <2980> (5719) the wisdom <4678> of God <2316> in <1722> a mystery <3466>, [even] the hidden <613> (5772) [wisdom], which <3739> God <2316> ordained <4309> (5656) before <4253> the world <165> unto <1519> our <2257> glory <1391>: |
2:8 | Which <3739> none <3762> of the princes <758> of this <5127> world <165> knew <1097> (5758): for <1487> <1063> had they known <1097> (5627) [it], they <302> would <4717> (0) not <3756> have crucified <4717> (5656) the Lord <2962> of glory <1391>. |
2:9 | But <235> as <2531> it is written <1125> (5769), <3739> Eye <3788> hath <1492> (0) not <3756> seen <1492> (5627), nor <2532> <3756> ear <3775> heard <191> (5656), neither <2532> <3756> have entered <305> (5627) into <1909> the heart <2588> of man <444>, the things which <3739> God <2316> hath prepared <2090> (5656) for them that love <25> (5723) him <846>. |
2:10 | But <1161> God <2316> hath revealed <601> (5656) [them] unto us <2254> by <1223> his <846> Spirit <4151>: for <1063> the Spirit <4151> searcheth <2045> (5719) all things <3956>, yea <2532>, the deep things <899> of God <2316>. |
2:11 | For <1063> what <5101> man <444> knoweth <1492> (5758) the things <3588> of a man <444>, save <1508> the spirit <4151> of man <444> which <3588> is in <1722> him <846>? even <2532> so <3779> the things <3588> of God <2316> knoweth <1492> (5758) no man <3762>, but <1508> the Spirit <4151> of God <2316>. |
2:12 | Now <1161> we <2249> have received <2983> (5627), not <3756> the spirit <4151> of the world <2889>, but <235> the spirit <4151> which <3588> is of <1537> God <2316>; that <2443> we might know <1492> (5762) the things that are freely given <5483> (5685) to us <2254> of <5259> God <2316>. |
2:13 | Which things <3739> also <2532> we speak <2980> (5719), not <3756> in <1722> the words <3056> which man's <442> wisdom <4678> teacheth <1318>, but <235> which the Holy <40> Ghost <4151> teacheth <1722> <1318>; comparing <4793> (5723) spiritual things <4152> with spiritual <4152>. |
2:14 | But <1161> the natural <5591> man <444> receiveth <1209> (5736) not <3756> the things <3588> of the Spirit <4151> of God <2316>: for <1063> they are <2076> (5748) foolishness <3472> unto him <846>: neither <2532> <3756> can <1410> (5736) he know <1097> (5629) [them], because <3754> they are spiritually <4153> discerned <350> (5743). |
2:15 | But <1161> he that is spiritual <4152> judgeth (5719) <3303> <350> all things <3956>, yet <1161> he himself <846> is judged <350> (5743) of <5259> no man <3762>. {judgeth: or, discerneth} {judged: or, discerned} |
2:16 | For <1063> who <5101> hath known <1097> (5627) the mind <3563> of the Lord <2962>, that <3739> he may instruct <4822> (5692) him <846>? But <1161> we <2249> have <2192> (5719) the mind <3563> of Christ <5547>. {may: Gr. shall} |
