1 Corinthians 2
KJV with Strongs (1611 / 1769)
✦Strong's Interlinear
1
And I, brethren, when I came{(G5631)} to you, came{(G5627)} not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring{(G5723)} unto you the testimony of God.
2
For I determined{(G5656)} not to know{(G5760)} any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified{(G5772)}.
3
And I was{(G5633)} with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
4
And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
5
That your faith should not stand{(G5753)} in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
6
Howbeit we speak{(G5719)} wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought{(G5746)}:
7
But we speak{(G5719)} the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden{(G5772)} wisdom, which God ordained{(G5656)} before the world unto our glory:
8
Which none of the princes of this world knew{(G5758)}: for{G1063} had they known{(G5627)} it, they would not have crucified{(G5656)} the Lord of glory.
9
But as it is written{(G5769)}, Eye hath not seen{(G5627)}, nor{G3756} ear heard{(G5656)}, neither{G3756} have entered{(G5627)} into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared{(G5656)} for them that love{(G5723)} him.
10
But God hath revealed{(G5656)} them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth{(G5719)} all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11
For what man knoweth{(G5758)} the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth{(G5758)} no man, but the Spirit of God.
12
Now we have received{(G5627)}, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know{(G5762)} the things that are freely given{(G5685)} to us of God.
13
Which things also we speak{(G5719)}, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth{G1318}; comparing{(G5723)} spiritual things with spiritual.
14
But the natural man receiveth{(G5736)} not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are{(G5748)} foolishness unto him: neither{G3756} can{(G5736)} he know{(G5629)} them, because they are spiritually discerned{(G5743)}.
15
But he that is spiritual judgeth{(G5719)} all things, yet he himself is judged{(G5743)} of no man.
16
For who hath known{(G5627)} the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct{(G5692)} him? But we have{(G5719)} the mind of Christ.
