1 Corinthians 2
Mounce Reverse Interlinear New Testament
2 When I kagō came erchomai to pros you hymeis, brothers adelphos, I did not ou come erchomai with kata excellence hyperochē of speech logos or ē of wisdom sophia as I told katangellō you hymeis about the ho secret martyrion purpose of ho God theos. 2 For gar I had decided krinō to know oida nothing tis among en you hymeis except ei mē Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos and kai him houtos crucified stauroō. 3 So I kagō came ginomai to pros you hymeis in en weakness astheneia and kai fear phobos, and kai with en much polys trembling tromos. 4 · kai · ho My egō word logos and kai · ho my egō message kērygma were not ou delivered with en persuasive peithos words logos of wisdom sophia, but alla with en a demonstration apodeixis of the Spirit pneuma and kai of power dynamis, 5 so hina that · ho your hymeis faith pistis would not mē be eimi based on en the wisdom sophia of men anthrōpos but alla on en the power dynamis of God theos.
6 However de, we do speak laleō wisdom sophia among en those ho who are mature teleios, although de it is not ou the wisdom sophia of ho this houtos age aiōn or oude of the ho rulers archōn of ho this houtos age aiōn, who ho are doomed to perish katargeō. 7 Rather alla, we speak laleō the wisdom sophia of God theos; a wisdom that ho was hidden apokryptō in en mystery mystērion and that hos God theos had determined proorizō · ho before pro the ho ages aiōn for eis our hēmeis glory doxa. 8 None oudeis of the ho rulers archōn of ho this houtos age aiōn understood ginōskō it hos, for gar if ei they had ginōskō, they stauroō would an not ou have crucified stauroō the ho Lord kyrios of ho glory doxa. 9 But alla, as kathōs it is written graphō, “ No ou eye ophthalmos has seen, · kai no ou ear ous has heard akouō, · kai nor ou has the mind kardia of man anthrōpos imagined anabainō, the things that hos God theos has prepared hetoimazō · ho for those ho who love agapaō him autos.” 10 But de God theos has revealed apokalyptō them to us hēmeis · ho through dia his ho Spirit pneuma; for gar the ho Spirit pneuma searches eraunaō everything pas, even kai the ho deep bathos things of ho God theos. 11 For gar who tis among men anthrōpos can know oida the ho thoughts of ho a man anthrōpos except ei mē the ho man’ s own anthrōpos spirit pneuma · ho that ho is in en him autos? In the same houtōs way , · kai no one oudeis can understand ginōskō the ho thoughts of ho God theos except ei mē the ho Spirit pneuma of ho God theos. 12 · de It was not ou the ho spirit pneuma of the ho world kosmos that we hēmeis received lambanō, but alla the ho Spirit pneuma · ho sent from ek · ho God theos, that hina we might understand oida the ho gifts freely given charizomai to us hēmeis by hypo · ho God theos. 13 And kai we speak about laleō these hos things in en words logos not ou taught didaktos by human anthrōpinos wisdom sophia but alla taught didaktos by the Spirit pneuma, expressing synkrinō spiritual truths pneumatikos in spiritual pneumatikos words . 14 The natural psychikos · de man anthrōpos does not ou receive dechomai the ho things of the ho Spirit pneuma of ho God theos, for gar they are eimi foolishness mōria to him autos; · kai he cannot ou understand ginōskō them because hoti they are spiritually pneumatikōs discerned anakrinō. 15 But de the ho spiritual pneumatikos person discerns anakrinō · ho all pas things , and de is not himself autos subject to hypo anyone’ s oudeis scrutiny anakrinō. 16 For gar, “ Who tis has known ginōskō the mind nous of the Lord kyrios, so as to advise symbibazō him autos?” But de we hēmeis have echō the mind nous of Christ Christos.

Paul’s Reliance upon the Spirit
2 And when I came to you, brothers and sisters, I (A)did not come as someone superior in [a]speaking ability or [b]wisdom, as I proclaimed to you (B)the [c]testimony of God. 2 For I determined to know nothing among you except (C)Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. 3 I also was with you in (D)weakness and (E)fear, and in great trembling, 4 and my [d]message and my preaching were (F)not in persuasive words of [e]wisdom, but in demonstration of (G)the Spirit and of power, 5 so that your faith would not [f]rest on the [g]wisdom of mankind, but on (H)the power of God.
6 Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are (I)mature; a wisdom, however, not of (J)this age nor of the rulers of (K)this age, who are (L)passing away; 7 but we speak God’s wisdom in a (M)mystery, the hidden wisdom which God (N)predestined before the (O)ages to our glory; 8 the wisdom (P)which none of the rulers of (Q)this age has understood; for if they had understood it, they would not have crucified (R)the Lord of glory; 9 but just as it is written:
“(S)Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard,
And which have not entered the human heart,
All that God has prepared for those who love Him.”
10 [h](T)For to us God revealed them (U)through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the (V)depths of God. 11 For who among people knows the thoughts of a person except the (W)spirit of the person that is in him? So also the thoughts of God no one knows, except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we (X)have not received the spirit of (Y)the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God. 13 We also speak these things, (Z)not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, [i]combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.
14 But [j]a (AA)natural person (AB)does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are (AC)foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But the one who is (AD)spiritual discerns all things, yet he himself is [k]discerned by no one. 16 For (AE)who has known the mind of the Lord, that he will instruct Him? But (AF)we have the mind of Christ.
