< 1 Corinthians 2 >

1 And I brethren when I came to you came not in gloriousnes of wordes or of wysdome shewynge vnto you the testimony of God.
So when I came to you, brothers, I did not come proclaiming God's testimony to you with a ‘superior’ speech or wisdom.
2 Nether shewed I my selfe that I knewe eny thinge amonge you save Iesus Christ eve the same that was crucified.
For I determined to ‘know’ nothing while among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
3 And I was amoge you in weaknes and in feare and in moche treblinge.
Also, I was with you in weakness, in fear, and with much trembling.
4 And my wordes and my preachinge were not with entysynge wordes of manes wysdome: but in shewinge of ye sprete and of power
Yes, my message and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
5 that youre fayth shuld not stonde in ye wysdome of me but in yt power of God.
so that your faith not be in men's wisdom, but in God's power.
6 That we speake of is wysdome amonge them that are perfecte: not the wysdome of this worlde nether of the rulars of this worlde (which go to nought) (aiōn g165)
However, we do speak wisdom among the mature, albeit not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are being set aside; (aiōn g165)
7 but we speake ye wysdome of God which is in secrete and lieth hyd which God ordeyned before the worlde vnto oure glory: (aiōn g165)
but we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom that God ordained before the ages for our glory, (aiōn g165)
8 which wysdome none of ye rulars of the worlde knewe. For had they knowe it they wolde not have crucified the Lorde of glory. (aiōn g165)
that none of the rulers of this age have understood (because if they had understood, they would not have crucified the Lord of the glory). (aiōn g165)
9 But as it is written: The eye hath not sene and the eare hath not hearde nether have entred into the herte of man ye thinges which God hath prepared for them that love him.
However, as it is written: “Things no eye has seen and no ear has heard, and no heart of man has imagined, such things has God prepared for those who love Him.”
10 But God hath opened them vnto vs by his sprete. For ye sprete searcheth all thinges ye the bottome of Goddes secretes.
But to us God has revealed them by His Spirit; because the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
11 For what man knoweth the thinges of a ma: save ye sprete of a man which is with in him? Even so ye thinges of God knoweth no man but ye sprete of god.
Now who among men knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man that is in him? So also no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.
12 And we have not receaved the sprete of ye worlde: but the sprete which cometh of god for to knowe the thinges that are geve to vs of god
We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, so that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God;
13 which thinges also we speake not in the conynge wordes of manes wysdome but with the conynge wordes of the holy goost makynge spretuall coparesons of spretuall thinges.
which things we also expound, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Holy Spirit, interpreting spiritual things to spiritual people.
14 For ye naturall man perceaveth not the thinges of the sprete of god. For they are but folysshnes vnto him. Nether can he perceave them because he is spretually examined.
Now a soulish man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; indeed, he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15 But he that is spretuall discusseth all thinges: yet he him selfe is iudged of no ma.
But he who is spiritual evaluates everything, while not being himself subject to anyone's judgment.
16 For who knoweth the mynde of the Lorde other who shall informe him? But we vnderstonde the mynde of Christ.
For “who has known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
