and my word and my preaching, not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of [the] Spirit and of power;

that your faith might not stand in men's wisdom, but in God's power.

But we speak wisdom among the perfect; but wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who come to nought.

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.

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:

which also we speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, communicating spiritual [things] by spiritual [means].

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;

but the spiritual discerns all things, and *he* is discerned of no one.

For who has known the mind of [the] Lord, who shall instruct him? But *we* have the mind of Christ.

And *I*, brethren, have not been able to speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly; as to babes in Christ.

*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.

But the planter and the waterer are one; but each shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

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.

If the work of any one shall be consumed, he shall suffer loss, but *he* shall be saved, but so as through [the] fire.

But for me it is the very smallest matter that I be examined of you or of man's day. Nor do I even examine myself.

For I am conscious of nothing in myself; but I am not justified by this: but he that examines me is the Lord.

For who makes thee to differ? and what hast thou which thou hast not received? but if also thou hast received, why boastest thou as not receiving?
