And I was with you with much reverence for God and in trembling.

But we discuss the wisdom of God shown in a mysterious way, and it is hidden, but which God ordained before the world for our glory:

Which none of the rulers of the world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the LORD of glory.

But as it is written, The eye has not seen, and the ear has not heard, and the heart of man has not conceived the things which God has prepared for those who love him.

But God has revealed them to us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.

For what man knows the mind of man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so, no man knows the mind of God, except the Spirit of God.

For the things which we discuss are not dependent on the knowledge of words and man''s wisdom, but on the teaching of the Spirit; thus explaining spiritual things to the spiritually minded.

For the material man rejects spiritual things, for they are foolishness to him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

For who knows the mind of the LORD, that he may teach it? But we have the perception of Christ.

I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto you were unable to eat it, and even now you are not ready for it;

Because you are still worldly: for as long as there is among you envying and strife and divisions, are you not worldly and still following after the material things?

For while one says, I am a follower of Paul; and another, I am a follower of Apollos; are you not worldly?

For we work together with God: you are God''s work and God''s building.

For other foundation can no man lay than that which is already laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Every man''s work shall be plainly seen: for the light of day shall expose it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall test every man''s work and show of what sort it is.

And whoever defiles the temple of God, God will destroy; for the temple of God is holy, and that temple is you.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is written, He catches the wise in their own craftiness.

Therefore, let no man boast about men. For all things are yours;

But as for me, it is of little importance that I am judged by you or by any one else: because I do not judge myself.

For I know nothing of which I am guilty; yet I may not be right in this, for my judge is the LORD.
