¹ And I brethren, when I came to you, came not in gloriousnesse of wordes, or of wisedome, shewing vnto you the testimonie of God.² For I esteemed not to knowe any thyng among you saue Iesus Christe, and hym crucified.³ And I was among you in weaknesse, and in feare, and in much tremblyng.⁴ And my wordes and my preachyng was not with entysing wordes of mans wisedome, but in shewyng of the spirite, and of power:⁵ That your fayth should not stande in the wisedome of men, but in the power of God.

⁶ And we speake wisedome among the that are perfite: not the wisedome of this world, neither of the princes of this world, which come to naught.⁷ But we speake the wisedome of God in a misterie [euen] the hyd [wisedome] which God ordeyned before the worlde, vnto our glorie.⁸ Which none of ye princes of this world knewe: For had they knowen it, they woulde not haue crucified the Lorde of glorie.⁹ But as it is written: The eye hath not seen, & the eare hath not heard, neither haue entred into the heart of man, the thynges which God hath prepared for them that loue hym.¹⁰ But God hath reuealed the vnto vs by his spirite: For the spirite searcheth all thinges, yea the deepe thinges of God.¹¹ For what man knoweth the thynges of a man, saue ye spirite of man which is in hym? Euen so, the thinges of God, knoweth no man, but ye spirite of God.¹² And we haue receaued, not the spirite of the worlde, but the spirite which is of God, that we myght know the thinges that are geuen to vs of God.¹³ Which thynges also we speake, not in the wordes which mans wisedome teacheth, but which ye holy ghost teacheth, comparyng spirituall thynges with spirituall thynges.¹⁴ But the naturall man perceaueth not the thynges of ye spirite of God, for they are foolyshenesse vnto hym: Neither can he knowe [them] because they are spiritually discerned.¹⁵ But he that is spirituall, discerneth all thynges, yet he hym selfe is iudged of no man.¹⁶ For who hath knowen the mynde of the Lorde, that he myght instruct hym? But we haue the mynde of Christe.
