Sha'ul's First Letter to the Corinthians, Chapter 2
{2:1} When I came to you, brothers, I didn't come with excellence of
speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God. {2:2}
For I determined not to know anything among you, except Yeshua the
Messiah, and him crucified. {2:3} I was with you in weakness, in fear,
and in much trembling. {2:4} My speech and my preaching were not in
persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit
and of power, {2:5} that your faith wouldn't stand in the wisdom of
men, but in the power of God. {2:6} We speak wisdom, however, among
those who are full grown; yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the
rulers of this world, who are coming to nothing. {2:7} But we speak
God's wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God
foreordained before the worlds to our glory, {2:8} which none of the
rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn't
have crucified the Lord of glory. {2:9} But as it is written,
"Things which an eye didn't see, and an ear didn't hear,
Which didn't enter into the heart of man,
These God has prepared for those who love him."
{2:10} But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the
Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. {2:11} For
who among men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of the man,
which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God, except God's
Spirit. {2:12} But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the
Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that were
freely given to us by God. {2:13} Which things also we speak, not in
words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the [1>]Ruach HaKodesh[<1]
teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things. {2:14} Now
the natural man doesn't receive the things of God's Spirit, for they
are foolishness to him, and he can't know them, because they are
spiritually discerned. {2:15} But he who is spiritual discerns all
things, and he himself is judged by no one. {2:16} "For who has known
the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him?" But we have
Messiah's mind.
