1 And I, having come unto you, brethren, came — not in superiority of discourse or wisdom — declaring to you the testimony of God,

2 for I decided not to know any thing among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified;

10 but to us did God reveal [them] through His Spirit, for the Spirit all things doth search, even the depths of God,

12 And we the spirit of the world did not receive, but the Spirit that [is] of God, that we may know the things conferred by God on us,

14 and the natural man doth not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for to him they are foolishness, and he is not able to know [them], because spiritually they are discerned;
