Reading 1 Corinthians chapter 2 in the Darby Bible, public-domain text from 1890.

Verses 1–10

1 And I, when I came to you, brethren, came not in excellency of word, or wisdom, announcing to you the testimony ofGod.

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

3 And I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling;

4 and my word and my preaching, not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of [the] Spirit and of power;

5 that your faith might not stand in men's wisdom, but inGod's power.

6 But we speak wisdom among the perfect; but wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who come to nought.

7 But we speakGod's wisdom in [a] mystery, that hidden [wisdom] whichGod had predetermined before the ages for our glory:

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

9 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, whichGod has prepared for them that love him,

10 butGod has revealed to us by [his] Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths ofGod.
