1 Corinthians 2:4-9
English Standard Version
4 and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of (A)the Spirit and of power, 5 so that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men[a] but (B)in the power of God.
Wisdom from the Spirit
6 Yet among (C)the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not (D)a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, (E)who are doomed to pass away. 7 But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, (F)which God decreed before the ages for our glory. 8 None of (G)the rulers of this age understood this, for (H)if they had, they would not have crucified (I)the Lord of glory. 9 But, as it is written,
(J)“What no eye has seen, nor ear heard,
nor the heart of man imagined,
what God has (K)prepared (L)for those who love him”—
