and the ignoble things of the world, and the despised, has God chosen, [and] things that are not, that he may annul the things that are;

so that no flesh should boast before God.

But of him are *ye* in Christ Jesus, who has been made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness, and holiness, and redemption;

And *I*, when I came to you, brethren, came not in excellency of word, or wisdom, announcing to you the testimony of God.

But we speak God's wisdom in [a] mystery, that hidden [wisdom] which God had predetermined before the ages for our glory:

but according as it is written, Things which eye has not seen, and ear not heard, and which have not come into man's heart, which God has prepared for them that love him,

but God has revealed to us by [his] Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.

For who of men hath known the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? thus also the things of God knows no one except the Spirit of God.

But *we* have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which [is] of God, that we may know the things which have been freely given to us of God:

But [the] natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him; and he cannot know [them] because they are spiritually discerned;

*I* have planted; Apollos watered; but God has given the increase.

So that neither the planter is anything, nor the waterer; but God the giver of the increase.

According to the grace of God which has been given to me, as a wise architect, I have laid the foundation, but another builds upon it. But let each see how he builds upon it.

Do ye not know that ye are [the] temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwells in you?

If any one corrupt the temple of God, *him* shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, and such are *ye*.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God; for it is written, He who takes the wise in their craftiness.

Let a man so account of us as servants of Christ, and stewards of [the] mysteries of God.

So that do not judge anything before [the] time, until the Lord shall come, who shall also both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and shall make manifest the counsels of hearts; and then shall each have [his] praise from God.

For I think that God has set us the apostles for the last, as appointed to death. For we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and men.

For the kingdom of God [is] not in word, but in power.
