1 Corinthians 2

1 And I myself And I myself having come to you, brothers, came not according to excellency of speech or wisdom proclaiming to you the (mystery *N(k)O*) of God.

And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellencie of woordes, or of wisedome, shewing vnto you the testimonie of God.

2 Nothing for I decided (of the *k*) anything to know among you only except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

For I esteemed not to knowe any thing among you, saue Iesus Christ, and him crucified.

3 And I myself And I myself in weakness and in fear and in trembling much was with you;

And I was among you in weakenesse, and in feare, and in much trembling.

4 And the message of mine and the preaching of mine [were] not in persuasive (of human *K*) of wisdom words but in demonstration of [the] Spirit and of power,

Neither stoode my woorde, and my preaching in the entising speach of mans wisdom, but in plaine euidence of the Spirite and of power,

5 so that the faith of you not may be in wisdom of men but in power of God.

That your faith should not be in the wisdome of men, but in the power of God.

6 Wisdom however we speak among the mature, wisdom however not age of this nor of the rulers age of this who are coming to naught; (aiōn g165)

And we speake wisedome among them that are perfect: not the wisedome of this world, neither of the princes of this world, which come to nought. (aiōn g165)

7 But we speak of God wisdom in a mystery which hidden, which foreordained God before the ages for glory of us, (aiōn g165)

But we speake the wisedome of God in a mysterie, euen the hid wisedom, which God had determined before the world, vnto our glory. (aiōn g165)

8 which none of the rulers age of this has understood; if for they had understood [it], not then would the Lord of glory they crucified, (aiōn g165)

Which none of the princes of this world hath knowen: for had they knowen it, they would not haue crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn g165)

9 but even as it has been written: What eye not has seen and ear not has heard and into heart of man not has entered, (what *NK(O)*) has prepared God for those loving Him.

But as it is written, The thinges which eye hath not seene, neither eare hath heard, neither came into mans heart, are, which God hath prepared for them that loue him.

10 To us (and *NK(o)*) revealed [it] God through the Spirit (of him; *k*) The for Spirit all things searches, even the depths of God.

But God hath reueiled them vnto vs by his Spirit: for the spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deepe things of God.

11 Who for knows among men the [things] of the man only except the spirit of the man that [is] within him? So also the [things] of God no [one] (has known *N(k)O*) only except the Spirit of God.

For what man knoweth the things of a man, saue the spirite of a man, which is in him? euen so the things of God knoweth no man, but the spirit of God.

12 We ourselves now not the spirit of the world have received but the Spirit who [is] from God, that we may know the [things] by God having been granted to us;

Nowe we haue receiued not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit, which is of God, that we might knowe the thinges that are giuen to vs of God.

13 which also we speak not in taught of human wisdom words but in [those] taught of [the] Spirit (Holy *K*) by spiritual [means] spiritual things communicating.

Which things also we speake, not in the woordes which mans wisedome teacheth, but which the holy Ghost teacheth, comparing spirituall things with spirituall things.

14 [The] natural however man not accepts the [things] of the Spirit of God, foolishness for to him they are, and not he is able to understand [them], because spiritually they are discerned.

But the naturall man perceiueth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishnesse vnto him: neither can hee knowe them, because they are spiritually discerned.

15 He who [is] however spiritual judges (*N(k)O*) all things he himself however by no [one] is judged.

But hee that is spirituall, discerneth all things: yet he himselfe is iudged of no man.

16 Who for has known [the] mind of [the] Lord? Who will instruct Him? We ourselves however [the] mind of Christ have.

For who hath knowen the minde of the Lord, that hee might instruct him? But we haue the minde of Christ.
