For since, in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom has not known God, God has been pleased by the foolishness of the preaching to save those that believe.

Since Jews indeed ask for signs, and Greeks seek wisdom;

For consider your calling, brethren, that [there are] not many wise according to flesh, not many powerful, not many high-born.

For I did not judge [it well] to know anything among you save Jesus Christ, and *him* crucified.

But we speak God's wisdom in [a] mystery, that hidden [wisdom] which God had predetermined before the ages for our glory:

which none of the princes of this age knew, (for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory;)

but according as it is written, Things which eye has not seen, and ear not heard, and which have not come into man's heart, which God has prepared for them that love him,

but God has revealed to us by [his] Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.

For who of men hath known the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? thus also the things of God knows no one except the Spirit of God.

But [the] natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him; and he cannot know [them] because they are spiritually discerned;

For who has known the mind of [the] Lord, who shall instruct him? But *we* have the mind of Christ.

I have given you milk to drink, not meat, for ye have not yet been able, nor indeed are ye yet able;

for ye are yet carnal. For whereas [there are] among you emulation and strife, are ye not carnal, and walk according to man?

For when one says, *I* am of Paul, and another, *I* of Apollos, are ye not men?

For we are God's fellow-workmen; ye are God's husbandry, God's building.

For other foundation can no man lay besides that which [is] laid, which is Jesus Christ.

the work of each shall be made manifest; for the day shall declare [it], because it is revealed in fire; and the fire shall try the work of each what it is.

If any one corrupt the temple of God, *him* shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, and such are *ye*.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God; for it is written, He who takes the wise in their craftiness.

So that let no one boast in men; for all things are yours.
