My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

that your faith wouldn't stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

But we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds to our glory,

But as it is written, "Things which eye didn't see, and ear didn't hear, Which didn't enter into the heart of man, Whatever things God prepared for those who love him."

But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that were freely given to us by God.

Which things also we speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Ruach HaKodesh teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.

But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is judged by no one.

"For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him?" But we have Messiah's mind.

Brothers, I couldn't speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Messiah.

Who then is Apollos, and who is Sha'ul, but servants through whom you believed; and each as the Lord gave to him?

I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase.

So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.

Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another builds on it. But let each man be careful how he builds on it.

But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or stubble;

If any man's work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.

But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by man's judgment. Yes, I don't judge my own self.

For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord.

For who makes you different? And what do you have that you didn't receive? But if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?
