1 Corinthians 2 - Interlinear Bible
Paul's Reliance upon the Spirit
1
And when I
came to you,
brethren, I did not
come with
superiority of
speech or of
wisdom,
proclaiming to you the
testimony of
God.
3
I was with you in
weakness and in
fear and in
much trembling,
4
and my
message and my
preaching were not in
persuasive words of
wisdom, but in
demonstration of the
Spirit and of
power,
5
so that your
faith would not
rest on the
wisdom of
men, but on the
power of
God.
8
the wisdom
which none of the
rulers of
this age has
understood ; for
if they had
understood it they would not have
crucified the
Lord of
glory ;
9
but
just as it is
written, " THINGS
WHICH EYE HAS NOT
SEEN AND
EAR HAS NOT
HEARD, AND which HAVE NOT
ENTERED THE
HEART OF
MAN,
ALL THAT
GOD HAS
PREPARED FOR
THOSE WHO
LOVE HIM."
11
For
who among
men knows the thoughts of a
man except the
spirit of the
man which is in him?
Even so the thoughts of
God no one knows except the
Spirit of
God.
12
Now we have
received, not the
spirit of the
world, but the
Spirit who is from
God,
so that we may
know the
things freely given to us by
God,
13
which things we
also speak, not in
words taught by
human wisdom, but in those
taught by the
Spirit,
combining spiritual thoughts with
spiritual words.
14
But a
natural man does not
accept the things of the
Spirit of
God, for they are
foolishness to him; and he
cannot * understand them,
because they are
spiritually appraised.
16
For
WHO HAS
KNOWN THE
MIND OF THE
LORD, THAT HE WILL
INSTRUCT HIM? But we
have the
mind of
Christ.
