Red-Letter King James Bible 1769 Edition (KJV)

1 Corinthians 2

He declareth that his preaching, 1 though it being not excellency of speech, or of 4 human wisdom: yet consisteth in the 4, 5 power of God: and so far excelleth 6 the wisdom of this world, and 9 human sense, as that 14 the natural man cannot understand it.

 2:1 ¶ And I, 2504 brethren, 80 when I came 2064 z5631 to 4314 you, 5209 came 2064 z5627 not 3756 with 2596 excellency 5247 of speech 3056 or 2228 of wisdom, 4678 declaring 2605 z5723 unto you 5213 the x3588 testimony 3142 of God. 2316

 2:2 For 1063 I determined 2919 z5656 not 3756 to know 1492 z5760 any thing 5100 among 1722 you, 5213 save 1508 Jesus 2424 Christ, 5547 and 2532 him 5126 crucified. 4717 z5772

 2:3 And 2532 I 1473 was 1096 z5633 with 4314 you 5209 in 1722 weakness, 769 and 2532 in 1722 fear, 5401 and 2532 in 1722 much 4183 trembling. 5156

 2:4 And 2532 my 3450 speech 3056 and 2532 my 3450 preaching 2782 [was] not 3756 with 1722 enticing 3981 words 3056 of man's 442 wisdom, 4678 but 235 in 1722 demonstration 585 of the Spirit 4151 and 2532 of power: 1411

 2:5 That 2443 your 5216 faith 4102 should y5600 z0 not 3361 stand 5600 z5753 in 1722 the wisdom 4678 of men, 444 but 235 in 1722 the power 1411 of God. 2316

 2:6 Howbeit 1161 we speak 2980 z5719 wisdom 4678 among 1722 them that are perfect: 5046 yet 1161 not 3756 the wisdom 4678 of this 5127 world, 165 nor 3761 of the x3588 princes 758 of this 5127 world, 165 that come to nought: 2673 z5746

 2:7 But 235 we speak 2980 z5719 the wisdom 4678 of God 2316 in 1722 a mystery, 3466 [even] the x3588 hidden 613 z5772 [wisdom], which 3739 God 2316 ordained 4309 z5656 before 4253 the x3588 world 165 unto 1519 our 2257 glory: 1391

 2:8 Which 3739 none 3762 of the x3588 princes 758 of this 5127 world 165 knew: 1097 z5758 for 1063 y1487 had they x1487 known 1097 z5627 [it], they y302 would y4717 z0 not 3756 have x302 crucified 4717 z5656 the x3588 Lord 2962 of glory. 1391

 2:9 But 235 as 2531 it is written, 1125 3739 z5769 Eye 3788 hath y1492 z0 not 3756 seen, 1492 z5627 nor 3756 y2532 ear y3775 x3755 heard, 191 z5656 neither 2532 3756 have entered 305 z5627 into 1909 the heart 2588 of man, 444 the things which 3739 God 2316 hath prepared 2090 z5656 for them that love 25 z5723 him. 846

 2:10 But 1161 God 2316 hath revealed 601 z5656 [them] unto us 2254 by 1223 his y846 x848 Spirit: 4151 for 1063 the x3588 Spirit 4151 searcheth 2045 z5719 all things, 3956 yea, 2532 the x3588 deep things 899 of God. 2316

 2:11 For 1063 what 5101 man 444 knoweth 1492 z5758 the things 3588 of a man, 444 save 1508 the x3588 spirit 4151 of man 444 which 3588 is in 1722 him? 846 even y2532 x253 so 3779 the things 3588 of God 2316 knoweth 1492 z5758 no man, 3762 but 1508 the x3588 Spirit 4151 of God. 2316

 2:12 Now 1161 we 2249 have received, 2983 z5627 not 3756 the x3588 spirit 4151 of the x3588 world, 2889 but 235 the x3588 spirit 4151 which 3588 is of 1537 God; 2316 that 2443 we might know 1492 z5762 the things x3588 that are freely given 5483 z5685 to us 2254 of 5259 God. 2316

 2:13 Which things 3739 also 2532 we speak, 2980 z5719 not 3756 in 1722 the words 3056 which man's 442 wisdom 4678 teacheth, 1318 but 235 which x1722 the Holy 40 Ghost 4151 teacheth; 1318 y1722 comparing 4793 z5723 spiritual things 4152 with spiritual. 4152

 2:14 But 1161 the natural 5591 man 444 receiveth 1209 z5736 not 3756 the things 3588 of the x3588 Spirit 4151 of God: 2316 for 1063 they are 2076 z5748 foolishness 3472 unto him: 846 neither 2532 3756 can 1410 z5736 he know 1097 z5629 [them], because 3754 they are spiritually 4153 discerned. 350 z5743

 2:15 But 1161 he that is spiritual 4152 x3303 judgeth 350 z5719 y3303 all things, 3956 yet 1161 he x846 himself y846 is judged 350 z5743 of 5259 no man. 3762

 2:16 For 1063 who 5101 hath known 1097 z5627 the mind 3563 of the Lord, 2962 that 3739 he may instruct 4822 z5692 him? 846 But 1161 we 2249 have 2192 z5719 the mind 3563 of Christ. 5547
