My
highlighted verses: 1 Corinthians 2:1 And I, brethren, when I came
to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto
you the testimony of God.
2
For I determined not to know any thing 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 speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom,
but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
5
That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power
of God.
6
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:
7
But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which
God ordained before the world unto our glory:
8
Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they
would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
9
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.
10
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth
all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11
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.
12
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.
13
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.
14
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.
15
But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of
no man.
16
For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him?But
we have the mind of Christ.
What is the mind of Christ that we Christians have? except it be The Holy Spirit which He gave to us.
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the
Holy Spirit, you accomplish both.
