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. 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. 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. 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 .

Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are (A)mature; a wisdom, however, not of (B)this age nor of the rulers of (C)this age, who are (D)passing away; but we speak God’s wisdom in a (E)mystery, the hidden wisdom which God (F)predestined before the (G)ages to our glory; the wisdom (H)which none of the rulers of (I)this age has understood; for if they had understood it, they would not have crucified (J)the Lord of glory; but just as it is written:

(K)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 [a](L)For to us God revealed them (M)through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the (N)depths of God. 11 For who among people knows the thoughts of a person except the (O)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 (P)have not received the spirit of (Q)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, (R)not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, [b]combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.
