Not with high speech
And when I came to you, brothers, I didn't come with fine speech or wisdom, announcing to you the testimony of God. Because I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified. And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and with a lot of trembling. And my speech and my preaching weren't with persuasive words of human wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so your faith wouldn't rest on the wisdom of men but on the power of God.
And I, brothers, when I came to you, didn't come with high speech or wisdom, telling you the witness of God. Because I settled not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. And I was with you in weakness and in fear and in plenty of shaking. And my speech and my preaching weren't with talking words of man's wisdom, but with showing of the Spirit and of power. So your faith shouldn't stand in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.
And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

The wisdom of God
Even so, we do speak wisdom among the mature — but not the wisdom of this world, or of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nothing. We speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom that God ordained before the world for our glory. None of the rulers of this world knew it. Because if they had known it, they wouldn't have crucified the Lord of glory. But as it is written: Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor has it entered the heart of man, what God has prepared for those who love him. But God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. Because the Spirit searches everything, even the deep things of God. For who among men knows a man's thoughts, except the man's own spirit in him? In the same way, nobody knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now we haven't received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so we can know what God has freely given us. And this is what we speak — not in words taught by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Holy Spirit, matching spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man doesn't accept the things of the Spirit of God, because they are foolishness to him. And he can't know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But the spiritual man judges all things, and is himself judged by nobody. Because who has known the mind of the Lord, so as to instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
But we speak wisdom among the ones who are grown up. Yet not the wisdom of this world or of the rulers of this world, who come to nothing. But we speak the wisdom of God in a secret, the hidden wisdom that God set out before the world to our glory. That none of the rulers of this world knew. Because if they'd known it, they wouldn't have crucified the Lord of glory. But as it's written: Eye hasn't seen and ear hasn't heard, and it hasn't come into the heart of man, the things God has got ready for the ones who love him. But God has shown them to us by his Spirit. Because the Spirit searches everything, yes, the deep things of God. Because what man knows the things of a man, except the spirit of man in him? That's how nobody knows the things of God either, except the Spirit of God. Now we haven't got the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who's of God, so we can know the things freely given us of God. Which things we speak too, not in the words man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man doesn't take the things of the Spirit of God. Because they're foolishness to him. And he can't know them, because they're spiritually understood. But the one who's spiritual judges everything, and yet he himself is judged by no man. Because who's known the mind of the Lord, that he can teach him? But we've got the mind of Christ.
Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
