1 Corinthians 2:4-7

KJV

NIV

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:
4 My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power,
5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
5 so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power.
6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
6 We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.
7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
7 No, we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began.
