American Standard Version (ASV) With Strong Codes

1. And I[G2504], brethren[G80], when I came[G2064] unto[G4314] you[G5209], came[G2064] not[G3756] with[G2596] excellency[G5247] of speech[G3056] or[G2228] of wisdom[G4678], proclaiming[G2605] to you[G5213] the testimony[G3142] of God[G2316].

2. For[G1063] I determined[G2919] not[G3756] to know[G1492] anything[G5100] among[G1722] you[G5213], save[G1487, 3361] Jesus[G2424] Christ[G5547], and[G2532] him[G5126] crucified[G4717].

3. And[G2532] I[G1473] was[G1096] with[G4314] you[G5209] in[G1722] weakness[G769], and[G2532] in[G1722] fear[G5401], and[G2532] in[G1722] much[G4183] trembling[G5156].

4. And[G2532] my[G3450] speech[G3056] and[G2532] my[G3450] preaching[G2782] were not[G3756] in[G1722] persuasive[G3981] words[G3056] of[G442] wisdom[G4678], but[G235] in[G1722] demonstration[G585] of the Spirit[G4151] and[G2532] of power[G1411]:

5. that[G2443] your[G5216] faith[G4102] should not[G3361] stand[G5600] in[G1722] the wisdom[G4678] of men[G444], but[G235] in[G1722] the power[G1411] of God[G2316].

6. We speak[G2980] wisdom[G4678], however[G1161], among[G1722] them[G3588] that are fullgrown[G5046]: yet[G1161] a wisdom[G4678] not[G3756] of this[G5127] world[G165], nor[G3761] of the rulers[G758] of this[G5127] world[G165], who[G3588] are coming to nought[G2673]:

7. but[G235] we speak[G2980] God[G2316]'s wisdom[G4678] in[G1722] a mystery[G3466], even the wisdom that hath been hidden[G613], which[G3739] God[G2316] foreordained[G4309] before[G4253] the worlds[G165] unto[G1519] our[G2257] glory[G1391]:

8. which[G3739] none[G3762] of the rulers[G758] of this[G5127] world[G165] hath known[G1097]: for[G1063] had[G1487] they known[G1097] it[G4717], they would not[G3756] have[G302] crucified[G4717] the Lord[G2962] of glory[G1391]:

9. but[G235] as[G2531] it is written[G1125], Things which[G3739] eye[G3788] saw[G1492] not[G3756], and[G2532, 3756] ear[G3775] heard[G191] not[G2532], And which entered[G305] not[G3756] into[G1909] the heart[G2588] of man[G444], Whatsoever[G3739] things God[G2316] prepared[G2090] for them[G3588] that love[G25] him[G846].

10. But[G1161] unto us[G2254] God[G2316] revealed[G601] them through[G1223] the[G846] Spirit[G4151]: for[G1063] the Spirit[G4151] searcheth[G2045] all things[G3956], yea[G2532], the deep things[G899] of God[G2316].

11. For[G1063] who[G5101] among men[G444] knoweth[G1492] the things[G3588] of a man[G444], save[G1487, 3361] the spirit[G4151] of the man[G444], which is[G3588] in[G1722] him[G846]? even[G2532] so[G3779] the things[G3588] of God[G2316] none[G3762] knoweth[G1492], save[G1487, 3361] the Spirit[G4151] of God[G2316].

12. But[G1161] we[G2249] received[G2983], not[G3756] the spirit[G4151] of the world[G2889], but[G235] the spirit[G4151] which is[G3588] from[G1537] God[G2316]; that[G2443] we might know[G1492] the things that[G3588] were freely given[G5483] to us[G2254] of[G5259] God[G2316].

13. Which things[G3739] also[G2532] we speak[G2980], not[G3756] in[G1722] words[G3056] which man[G442]'s wisdom[G4678] teacheth[G1318], but[G235] which[G1722] the[G40] Spirit[G4151] teacheth[G1318]; combining[G4793] spiritual[G4152] things with spiritual words[G4152].

14. Now[G1161] the natural[G5591] man[G444] receiveth[G1209] not[G3756] the things[G3588] of the Spirit[G4151] of God[G2316]: for[G1063] they are[G2076] foolishness[G3472] unto him[G846]; and[G2532] he[G3756] cannot[G1410] know[G1097] them[G3754], because they are spiritually[G4153] judged[G350].

15. But[G1161] he that[G3588] is spiritual[G4152, Ezekiel3] judgeth[G350] all things[G3956], and[G1161] he himself[G846] is judged[G350] of[G5259] no man[G3762].

16. For[G1063] who[G5101] hath known[G1097] the mind[G3563] of the Lord[G2962], that[G3739] he should instruct[G4822] him[G846]? But[G1161] we[G2249] have[G2192] the mind[G3563] of Christ[G5547].
