1So it was, my friends, that I came to you, without any pretensions to eloquence or wisdom in declaring the truth about God.
2I resolved that while I was with you I would not claim to know anything but Jesus Christ -- Christ nailed to the cross.
3I came before you in weakness, in fear, in great trepidation.
4The word I spoke, the gospel I proclaimed, did not sway you with clever arguments; it carried conviction by spiritual power,
5so that your faith might be built not on human wisdom but on the power of God.
6Among the mature I do speak words of wisdom, though not a wisdom belonging to this present age or to its governing powers, already in decline;
7I speak God's hidden wisdom, his secret purpose framed from the very beginning to bring us to our destined glory.
8None of the powers that rule the world has known that wisdom; if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
9Scripture speaks of “things beyond our seeing, things beyond our hearing, things beyond our imagining, all prepared by God for those who love him”;
10and these are what God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit explores everything, even the depths of God's own nature.
11Who knows what a human being is but the human spirit within him? In the same way, only the Spirit of God knows what God is.
12And we have received this Spirit from God, not the spirit of the world, so that we may know all that God has lavished on us;
13and, because we are interpreting spiritual truths to those who have the Spirit, we speak of these gifts of God in words taught us not by our human wisdom but by the Spirit.
14An unspiritual person refuses what belongs to the Spirit of God; it is folly to him; he cannot grasp it, because it needs to be judged in the light of the Spirit.
15But a spiritual person can judge the worth of everything, yet is not himself subject to judgement by others.
16Scripture indeed asks, “Who can know the mind of the Lord or be his counsellor?” Yet we possess the mind of Christ.
