2

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.

But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

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.

Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

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:

That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man"s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.

For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.

But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:

And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?

Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.

For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.

Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?

Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?

Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?

An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.

And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,

And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;

Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,

In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)

For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:

(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;

For there is no respect of persons with God.
