1 Corinthians 2
2
1AND I, brethren, when I came to you, came not in loftiness of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of Christ.
2For I judged not myself to know anything among you, but Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
3And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
4And my speech and my preaching was not in the persuasive words of human wisdom, but in shewing of the Spirit and power;
5That your faith might not stand on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.
6Howbeit we speak wisdom among the perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, neither of the princes of this world that come to nought;
7But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, a wisdom which is hidden, which God ordained before the world, unto our glory:
8Which none of the princes of this world knew; for if they had known it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory.
9But, as it is written: That eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that love him.
10But to us God hath revealed them, by this Spirit. For the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11For what man knoweth the things of a man, but the spirit of a man that is in him? So the things also that are of God no man knoweth, but the Spirit of God.
12Now we have received not the spirit of this world, but the Spirit that is of God; that we may know the things that are given us from God.
13Which things also we speak, not in the learned words of human wisdom; but in the doctrine of the Spirit, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14But the sensual man perceiveth not these things that are of the Spirit of God; for it is foolishness to him, and he cannot understand, because it is spiritually examined.
15But the spiritual man judgeth all things; and he himself is judged of no man.
16For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that we may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

Qorintiyim Aleph (1 Corinthians) 2
2
1And, when I came to you, brothers, I did not come with excellence of speech or wisdom, proclaiming to you the witness of Elohim.
2For I resolved not to know any matter among you except יהושע Messiah and Him impaled.
3And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
4And my word and my preaching were not with persuasive words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
5in order that your belief should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of Elohim.
6Yet we speak wisdom among those who are perfect, and not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age that are being brought to naught.
7But we speak the wisdom of Elohim, which was hidden in a secret, and which Elohim ordained before the ages for our esteem,
8which no one of the rulers of this age knew, for if they had known, they would not have impaled the Master of esteem.
9But as it has been written, “Eye has not seen, and ear has not heard, nor have entered into the heart of man what Elohim has prepared for those who love Him.”# Isa. 64.4
10But Elohim has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all matters, even the depths of Elohim.
11For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man that is in him? So also, the thoughts of Elohim no one has known, except the Spirit of Elohim.
12And we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit that is from Elohim, in order to know what Elohim has favourably given us,
13which we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Set-apart Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual matters with spiritual matters.
14But the natural man does not receive the matters of the Spirit of Elohim, for they are foolishness to him, and he is unable to know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15But he who is spiritual discerns indeed all matters, but he himself is discerned by no one.
16For “Who has known the mind of יהוה? Who shall instruct Him?”# Isa. 40:13 But we have the mind of Messiah.
