1 Corinthians 2:3-8
English Standard Version
3 And (A)I was with you (B)in weakness and in fear and much trembling, 4 and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of (C)the Spirit and of power, 5 so that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men[a] but (D)in the power of God.
Wisdom from the Spirit
6 Yet among (E)the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not (F)a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, (G)who are doomed to pass away. 7 But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, (H)which God decreed before the ages for our glory. 8 None of (I)the rulers of this age understood this, for (J)if they had, they would not have crucified (K)the Lord of glory.
