MODERN LITERAL VERSION
1 Corinthians
Chapter 2
2:1 And brethren, when I came to you* proclaiming the testimony of God to you*, I did not come according to superiority of speech or of wisdom.
2:2 For* I decided not to know anything among you*, except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
2:3 And I happened to be with you* in weakness and in fear and in much trembling.
2:4 And my speech and my preaching was not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in the demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
2:5 in order that your* faith should not be in the wisdom of men, but be in the power of God.
2:6 Now we are speaking wisdom among those who are mature; yet a wisdom not of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are being done-away-with;
2:7 but we are speaking God's wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God predetermined before the ages *for our glory.
2:8 It is this mystery which none of the rulers of this world has known; for* had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory;
2:9 but as it has been written, ‘Things which the eye did not see and the ear did not hear and things which did not enter into the heart of man, which God prepared for those who love* him.' {Is. 64:4}
2:10 But God revealed them to us through his Spirit; for* the Spirit is searching all things, even the depths of God.
2:11 For* who among men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of the man, which is in him? So also, the things of God no one knows, except the Spirit of God.
2:12 But we did not receive the spirit of the world, but the{F} Spirit who is from God; that* we might know the things which were granted to us by God.
2:13 We also speak these things, not in words which human wisdom is teaching, but which the Holy Spirit is teaching; combining spiritual things with spiritual words.
2:14 Now the physical man does not accept the things from the Spirit of God; for* they are foolishness to him, and he cannot know them, because they are spiritually examined.
2:15 But he who is spiritual is indeed examining all things but he himself is examined by no one.
2:16 For* who has known the mind of the Lord, who will lecture him? But we have the mind of Christ.
{Footnotes: 1Cor 2:12 Spirit who OR spirit that (meaning just a simple contrast like ‘things of the world, things from God.' All punctuation and verse numbering is man-made. * is our universal footnoting for words contained in the Appendix. These words are NOT the same Greek word as the non-asterisk form; i.e. *for is different from for* is different from for.}
