1And when I came to you, brothers, I did not come with superiority of logos(speech) or sophia(wisdom), proclaiming to you the testimony of God.
2For I krino(decided) to know nothing among you except Yeshua(Jesus) Messiah(Christ) and Him crucified.
3And I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling,
4and my logos(speech) and my proclamation were not in persuasive words of human sophia(wisdom), but in demonstration of pneuma(spirit) and of dynamis(power),
5so that your faith would not rest in the sophia(wisdom) of men but in the dynamis(power) of God.
6Yet sophia(wisdom) we do speak among the mature — sophia(wisdom), however, not of this age nor of the rulers of this age who are being nullified —
7but we speak God's sophia(wisdom) in a mysterion(mystery), the hidden sophia(wisdom) which God predestined before the ages for our glory,
8which none of the rulers of this age has known; for if they had known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
9But just as it is written: "Things that no eye has seen and no ear has heard and no kardia(heart, soul-domain) of man has conceived — what God has prepared for those who agapao(love) Him."
10But God has revealed these things to us through His pneuma(spirit); for the pneuma(spirit) searches all things, even the depths of God.
11For who among men knows the things of a man except the pneuma(spirit) of the man that is in him? So also no one knows the things of God except the pneuma(spirit) of God.
12Now we have received not the pneuma(spirit) of the world but the pneuma(spirit) that is from God, so that we might know the things graciously given to us by God,
13which things we also speak, not in words taught by human sophia(wisdom) but in words taught by hagio(holy) pneuma(spirit), combining pneumatikos(spiritual) things with pneumatikos(spiritual) words.
14But the psychikos(soulish) man does not receive the things of the pneuma(spirit) of God, for they are foolishness to him and he is not able to know them, because they are discerned pneumatikos(spiritually).
15But the pneumatikos(spiritual) man discerns all things, yet he himself is discerned by no one.
16For who has known the nous(intellect, spiritual domain) of the Lord, who will instruct Him? But we have the nous(intellect, spiritual domain) of Messiah(Christ).
