2:1 And I 2504, brethren 80, when I came 2064 5631 to 4314 you 5209, came 2064 5627 not 3756 with 2596 excellency 5247 of speech 3056 or 2228 of wisdom 4678, declaring 2605 5723 unto you 5213 the testimony 3142 of God 2316.

2:2 For 1063 I determined 2919 5656 not 3756 to know 1492 5760 any thing 5100 among 1722 you 5213, save 1508 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547, and 2532 him 5126 crucified 4717 5772.

2:3 And 2532 I 1473 was 1096 5633 with 4314 you 5209 in 1722 weakness 769, and 2532 in 1722 fear 5401, and 2532 in 1722 much 4183 trembling 5156.

2:4 And 2532 my 3450 speech 3056 and 2532 my 3450 preaching 2782 [was] not 3756 with 1722 enticing 3981 words 3056 of man's 442 wisdom 4678, but 235 in 1722 demonstration 585 of the Spirit 4151 and 2532 of power 1411:(enticing: or, persuasible)

2:5 That 2443 your 5216 faith 4102 should 5600 0 not 3361 stand 5600 5753 in 1722 the wisdom 4678 of men 444, but 235 in 1722 the power 1411 of God 2316.(stand: Gr. be)

2:6 Howbeit 1161 we speak 2980 5719 wisdom 4678 among 1722 them that are perfect 5046: yet 1161 not 3756 the wisdom 4678 of this 5127 world 165, nor 3761 of the princes 758 of this 5127 world 165, that come to nought 2673 5746:

2:7 But 235 we speak 2980 5719 the wisdom 4678 of God 2316 in 1722 a mystery 3466, [even] the hidden 613 5772 [wisdom], which 3739 God 2316 ordained 4309 5656 before 4253 the world 165 unto 1519 our 2257 glory 1391:

2:8 Which 3739 none 3762 of the princes 758 of this 5127 world 165 knew 1097 5758: for 1487 1063 had they known 1097 5627 [it], they 302 would 4717 0 not 3756 have crucified 4717 5656 the Lord 2962 of glory 1391.

2:9 But 235 as 2531 it is written 1125 5769, 3739 Eye 3788 hath 1492 0 not 3756 seen 1492 5627, nor 2532 3756 ear 3775 heard 191 5656, neither 2532 3756 have entered 305 5627 into 1909 the heart 2588 of man 444, the things which 3739 God 2316 hath prepared 2090 5656 for them that love 25 5723 him 846.

2:10 But 1161 God 2316 hath revealed 601 5656 [them] unto us 2254 by 1223 his 846 Spirit 4151: for 1063 the Spirit 4151 searcheth 2045 5719 all things 3956, yea 2532, the deep things 899 of God 2316.

2:11 For 1063 what 5101 man 444 knoweth 1492 5758 the things 3588 of a man 444, save 1508 the spirit 4151 of man 444 which 3588 is in 1722 him 846? even 2532 so 3779 the things 3588 of God 2316 knoweth 1492 5758 no man 3762, but 1508 the Spirit 4151 of God 2316.

2:12 Now 1161 we 2249 have received 2983 5627, not 3756 the spirit 4151 of the world 2889, but 235 the spirit 4151 which 3588 is of 1537 God 2316; that 2443 we might know 1492 5762 the things that are freely given 5483 5685 to us 2254 of 5259 God 2316.

2:13 Which things 3739 also 2532 we speak 2980 5719, not 3756 in 1722 the words 3056 which man's 442 wisdom 4678 teacheth 1318, but 235 which the Holy 40 Ghost 4151 teacheth 1722 1318; comparing 4793 5723 spiritual things 4152 with spiritual 4152.

2:14 But 1161 the natural 5591 man 444 receiveth 1209 5736 not 3756 the things 3588 of the Spirit 4151 of God 2316: for 1063 they are 2076 5748 foolishness 3472 unto him 846: neither 2532 3756 can 1410 5736 he know 1097 5629 [them], because 3754 they are spiritually 4153 discerned 350 5743.

2:15 But 1161 he that is spiritual 4152 judgeth 350 5719 3303 all things 3956, yet 1161 he himself 846 is judged 350 5743 of 5259 no man 3762.(judgeth: or, discerneth)(judged: or, discerned)

2:16 For 1063 who 5101 hath known 1097 5627 the mind 3563 of the Lord 2962, that 3739 he may instruct 4822 5692 him 846? But 1161 we 2249 have 2192 5719 the mind 3563 of Christ 5547.(may: Gr. shall)
