For I had not determined to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, - and, him, as one who had been crucified!

But we speak, God's, wisdom, in a sacred secret, that hidden wisdom , which God marked out beforehand, before the ages, for our glory, -

Which, none of the rulers of this age had come to know, for, had they known, not, in that case, the Lord of the glory, would they have crucified!

But, even as it is written - The things which eye hath not seen, and ear hath not heard, and upon the heart of man have not come up, - whatsoever things God hath prepared for them that love him,

Unto us, in fact, hath God revealed through the Spirit; for, the Spirit, into all things, maketh search, yea! the deep things of God.

For who of men knoweth the things of a man, - save the spirit of the man that is in him? thus, even the things of God, hath no one come to know, save the Spirit of God.

But, as for us, - not the spirit of the world, have we received, but the Spirit which is of God, - that we might know the things which, by God, have been given in favour unto us: -

But, a man of the soul, doth not welcome the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness unto him, and he cannot get to know them, because, spiritually, are they examined;

For who hath come to know the mind of the Lord, that shall instruct him? But, we, have, the mind of Christ.

With milk, have I fed you, not, with meat; for, not yet, have ye been able; - nay! not yeteven now, are ye able,

For ye are yet fleshly. For, whereas there are, among you, jealousy and strife, are ye not, fleshly, and, after the manner of men, walking?

For, as soon as one beginneth to say - I, indeed, am of Paul! and another - I, of Apollos! are ye not, men?

For we are, God's, fellow-workmen: ye are, God's, farm, God's building.

For, other foundation, can, no one, lay, than that which is lying, which is, Jesus Christ.

Each one's work, shall be made, manifest; for, the day, will make it plain, because, by fire, is it to be revealed, - and, each one's work, of what sort it is, the fire itself will prove: -

If anyone doth mar the shrine of God, God, will mar him; for the shrine of God is holy, - and such are ye.

For, the wisdom of this world, is, foolishness with God; for it is written - He that taketh the wise in their knavery, -

So then, let, no one, be boasting in men; for, all things, are yours -

With me, however, it counteth for the very smallest thing, that, by you, I should be examined, or by a human day. Nay! I am not even examining myself,

For, of nothing, to myself, am I conscious: nevertheless, not hereby, am I declared righteous, but, he that doth examine me, is the Lord.
