1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.

<>not with excellency of speech or of wisdom

2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

<>v. 2

3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.

<>trembling

4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

<>enticing

5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

<>the power of God

6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:

<>perfect, <>the wisdom of this world, <>nought

7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

<>we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, <>the wisdom of God, <>the wisdom of God … God ordained before the world, <>a mystery … which God ordained before the world, <>the hidden wisdom, <>ordained

8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

<>v. 9, <>as it is written, <>it is written, <>Eye hath not seen … the things which God hath prepared for them that love him., <>Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard … the things which God hath prepared for them that love him., <>the things which God hath prepared for them that love him

10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

<>God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit, <>the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God

11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

<>what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him?

12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

<>received … given, <>the things that are freely given to us of God

13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

<>the words … which the Holy Ghost teacheth, <>comparing spiritual things with spiritual

14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

<>v. 14

15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

<>he that is spiritual judgeth all things, <>he that is spiritual … is judged of no man

16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

<>who hath known the mind of the Lord, <>instruct, <>we have the mind of Christ
