Paul’s Reliance upon the Spirit
1 And when I came to you, brethren, I adid not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you bthe 1testimony of God.
2 For I determined to know nothing among you except aJesus Christ, and Him crucified.
3 I was with you in aweakness and in bfear and in much trembling,
4 and my 1message and my preaching were anot in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of bthe Spirit and of power,
5 so that your faith would not 1rest on the wisdom of men, but on athe power of God.
6 Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are amature; a wisdom, however, not of bthis age nor of the rulers of bthis age, who are cpassing away;
7 but we speak God’s wisdom in a amystery, the hidden wisdom which God bpredestined before the cages to our glory;
8 the wisdom awhich none of the rulers of bthis age has understood; for if they had understood it they would not have crucified cthe Lord of glory;
“aThings which eye has not seen and ear has not heard,
And which have not entered the heart of man,
All that God has prepared for those who love Him.”
10 1aFor to us God revealed them bthrough the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the cdepths of God.
11 For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the aspirit of the man which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God.
12 Now we ahave received, not the spirit of bthe world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God,
13 which things we also speak, anot in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, 1combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.
14 But 1a anatural man bdoes not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are cfoolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually 2appraised.
15 But he who is aspiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no one.
16 For awho has known the mind of the Lord, that he will instruct Him? But bwe have the mind of Christ.
About New American Standard Bible: 1995 UpdateThe New American Standard Bible, long considered a favorite study Bible by serious students of the Scriptures, has been completely revised and updated in this new 1995 translation.
