1Cor 2
All that Paul care to know is crucified Christ.
1 Brethren, I have come towards you, to proclaim the words of wisdom or the testimony of God to you. I have not come according to, even my superiority.
2 for, I decided/judged not to be aware of anything among you, except Jesus Christ, even this One, Who was crucified.
3 And I, become so many things towards you, in frailty, even in fear, and in trembling.
4 And my words, and even my preaching were not by enticing/persuasive words of wisdom, but by demonstration of mighty-deeds of the SPIRIT.
5 at least for your Faith, not to be in the wisdom of man, but in the miraculous power of God.
Wisdom of God to save the world has been a mystery
6 However, we preach the wisdom among the mature/full grown ones; Moreso, the wisdom is not of the things of this age, nor of the the Rulers of this age, which shall be abolished.
7 But we preach the wisdom of God, fully concealed in a mystery, which God pre-determined before the age for us, unto our Glory.
8 the Glory, which none of the rulers of this age, absolutely know; for, if it had been known, they would not have possibly crucified the Lord (on the cross),
9 but as it is written, what eyes have not seen, and ears have not heard, and has not ascended the heart of men, God has prepared as much for those HE selflessly-Love. (Is 64:4-12)
The mystery is now openly declared; and only spiritually inclined people understand
10 for they have been revealed to us through the SPIRIT of God. Because by the SPIRIT, we searches the depth (profundity) of all the things of God.
11 for, who is a man to know the things of (other) man, if not a man by the spirit in him? And likewise, no man absolutely knows the things of God, except by the SPIRIT of God.
12 however, we have not received the spirit of the world, but the SPIRIT from God, at least to know the things granted us by grace under God;
13 And what we preach, is not taught in human word of wisdom, but taught in the Spirit, by judging spiritual-things (Gospels) in connection with another spiritual things (past-prophecies)
14 Moreover, a natural/psychological man will not accept the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him, and cannot absolutely know them, for they are spiritually scrutinized/investigated.
15 moreover, all thing under him could be scrutinized, but he could investigate nothing spiritual.
16 for, who absolutely know the mind of the Supreme Lord? What is knitted together by HIM? (Is 40:13). However, our mind hold on to things of Christ.
