1 Corinthians 2 (ERVEN) Easy to Read - English

1 Dear brothers and sisters, when I came to you, I told you the secret truth of God. But I did not use fancy words or great wisdom.
2 I decided that while I was with you I would forget about everything except Jesus Christ and his death on the cross.
3 When I came to you, I was weak and shook with fear.
4 My teaching and my speaking were not with wise words that persuade people. But the proof of my teaching was the power that the Spirit gives.
5 I did this so that your faith would be in God's power, not in human wisdom.
6 We teach wisdom to people who are mature, but the wisdom we teach is not from this world. It is not the wisdom of the rulers of this world, who are losing their power.
7 But we speak God's secret wisdom that has been hidden from everyone until now. God planned this wisdom for our glory. He planned it before the world began.
8 None of the rulers of this world understood this wisdom. If they had understood it, they would not have killed our great and glorious Lord on a cross.
9 But as the Scriptures say, "No one has ever seen, no one has ever heard, no one has ever imagined what God has prepared for those who love him."
10 But God has shown us these things through the Spirit. The Spirit knows all things. The Spirit even knows the deep secrets of God.
11 It is like this: No one knows the thoughts that another person has. Only the person's spirit that lives inside knows those thoughts. It is the same with God. No one knows God's thoughts except God's Spirit.
12 We received the Spirit that is from God, not the spirit of the world. We received God's Spirit so that we can know all that God has given us.
13 When we say this, we don't use words taught to us by human wisdom. We use words taught to us by the Spirit. We use the Spirit's words to explain spiritual truths.
14 People who do not have God's Spirit do not accept the things that come from his Spirit. They think these things are foolish. They cannot understand them, because they can only be understood with the Spirit's help.
15 We who have the Spirit are able to make judgments about all these things. But anyone without the Spirit is not able to make proper judgments about us.
16 As the Scriptures say, "Who can know what is on the Lord's mind? Who is able to give him advice?" But we have been given Christ's way of thinking.
1 And I, G2504 brethren, G80 when I came G2064 to G4314 you, G5209 came G2064 not G3756 with G2596 excellency G5247 of speech G3056 or G2228 of wisdom, G4678 declaring G2605 unto you G5213 the G3588 testimony G3142 of God. G2316
2 For G1063 I determined G2919 not G3756 to know G1492 any thing G5100 among G1722 you, G5213 save G1508 Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 and G2532 him G5126 crucified. G4717
3 And G2532 I G1473 was G1096 with G4314 you G5209 in G1722 weakness, G769 and G2532 in G1722 fear, G5401 and G2532 in G1722 much G4183 trembling. G5156
4 And G2532 my G3450 speech G3056 and G2532 my G3450 preaching G2782 was not G3756 with G1722 enticing G3981 words G3056 of man's G442 wisdom, G4678 but G235 in G1722 demonstration G585 of the Spirit G4151 and G2532 of power: G1411
5 That G2443 your G5216 faith G4102 should not G3361 stand G5600 in G1722 the wisdom G4678 of men, G444 but G235 in G1722 the power G1411 of God. G2316
6 Howbeit G1161 we speak G2980 wisdom G4678 among G1722 them that are perfect: G5046 yet G1161 not G3756 the wisdom G4678 of this G5127 world, G165 nor G3761 of the G3588 princes G758 of this G5127 world, G165 that come to naught: G2673
7 But G235 we speak G2980 the wisdom G4678 of God G2316 in G1722 a mystery, G3466 even the G3588 hidden G613 wisdom, which G3739 God G2316 ordained G4309 before G4253 the G3588 world G165 unto G1519 our G2257 glory: G1391
8 Which G3739 none G3762 of the G3588 princes G758 of this G5127 world G165 knew: G1097 for G1063 had they G1487 known G1097 it, they would not G3756 have G302 crucified G4717 the G3588 Lord G2962 of glory. G1391
9 But G235 as G2531 it is written G1125 G3739 , Eye G3788 hath not G3756 seen, G1492 nor G3756 ear G3775 heard, G191 neither G2532 G3756 have entered G305 into G1909 the heart G2588 of man, G444 the things which G3739 God G2316 hath prepared G2090 for them that love G25 him. G846
10 But G1161 God G2316 hath revealed G601 them unto us G2254 by G1223 his G848 Spirit: G4151 for G1063 the G3588 Spirit G4151 searcheth G2045 all things, G3956 yea, G2532 the G3588 deep things G899 of God. G2316
11 For G1063 what G5101 man G444 knoweth G1492 the things G3588 of a man, G444 save G1508 the G3588 spirit G4151 of man G444 which G3588 is in G1722 him G846 ? even G2532 so G3779 the things G3588 of God G2316 knoweth G1492 no man, G3762 but G1508 the G3588 Spirit G4151 of God. G2316
12 Now G1161 we G2249 have received, G2983 not G3756 the G3588 spirit G4151 of the G3588 world, G2889 but G235 the G3588 Spirit G4151 which G3588 is of G1537 God; G2316 that G2443 we might know G1492 the things G3588 that are freely given G5483 to us G2254 of G5259 God. G2316
13 Which things G3739 also G2532 we speak, G2980 not G3756 in G1722 the words G3056 which man's G442 wisdom G4678 teacheth, G1318 but G235 which G1722 the Holy G40 Ghost G4151 teacheth; G1318 comparing G4793 spiritual things G4152 with spiritual. G4152
14 But G1161 the natural G5591 man G444 receiveth G1209 not G3756 the things G3588 of the G3588 Spirit G4151 of God: G2316 for G1063 they are G2076 foolishness G3472 unto him: G846 neither G2532 G3756 can G1410 he know G1097 them, because G3754 they are spiritually G4153 discerned. G350
15 But G1161 he that is spiritual G4152 G3303 judgeth G350 all things, G3956 yet G1161 he G846 himself is judged G350 of G5259 no man. G3762
16 For G1063 who G5101 hath known G1097 the mind G3563 of the Lord, G2962 that G3739 he may instruct G4822 him G846 ? But G1161 we G2249 have G2192 the mind G3563 of Christ. G5547
