Paul's
Reliance upon the Spirit |
|
|
 |
|
1 Corinthians 2:1
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 2:2
|
|
For I determined to know nothing among you except
Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. |
| |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 2:3
|
|
I was with you in weakness and in fear and in
much trembling, |
| |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 2:4
|
|
and my message and my preaching were not in
persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, |
| |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 2:5
|
|
so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom
of men, but on the power of God. |
| |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 2:6
|
|
Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are mature;
a wisdom, however, not of this age nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing
away; |
| |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 2:7
|
|
but we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the
hidden wisdom which God predestined before the ages to our glory; |
|
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 2:8
|
|
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; |
|
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 2:9
|
|
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." |
|
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 2:10
|
|
For to us God revealed them through the Spirit;
for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. |
|
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 2:11
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 2:12
|
|
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, |
|
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 2:13
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 2:14
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 2:15
|
|
But he who is spiritual appraises all things,
yet he himself is appraised by no one. |
|
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 2:16
|
|
For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, THAT
HE WILL INSTRUCT HIM? But we have the mind of Christ. |
