Paul’s Proclamation

2When I came to you, brothers, announcing the testimony of God to you, I did not come with brilliance of speech or wisdom.G2504G80G2064G4314G5209G2064G3756G2596G5247G3056G2228G4678G2605G5213G3142G23162For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.G1063G2919G3756G1492G5100G1722G5213G1508G2424G5547G2532G5126G47173And I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.G2532G1473G1096G4314G5209G1722G769G2532G1722G5401G2532G1722G4183G51564My speech and my proclamation were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit and power,G2532G3450G3056G2532G3450G2782G3756G1722G3981G3056G442G4678G235G1722G585G4151G2532G14115so that your faith might not be based on men's wisdom but on God's power.G2443G5216G4102G5600G3361G5600G1722G4678G444G235G1722G1411G2316

Spiritual Wisdom

6However, among the mature we do speak a wisdom, but not a wisdom of this age, or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.G1161G2980G4678G1722G5046G1161G3756G4678G5127G165G3761G758G5127G165G26737On the contrary, we speak God's hidden wisdom in a mystery, which God predestined before the ages for our glory.G235G2980G4678G2316G1722G3466G613G3739G2316G4309G4253G165G1519G2257G13918None of the rulers of this age knew it, for if they had known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.G3739G3762G758G5127G165G1097G1487G1063G1097G302G4717G3756G4717G2962G13919But as it is written: What no eye has seen and no ear has heard, and what has never come into a man's heart, is what God has prepared for those who love Him.G235G2531G1125G3739G3788G1492G3756G1492G2532G3756G3775G191G2532G3756G305G1909G2588G444G3739G2316G2090G25G84610Now God has revealed them to us by the Spirit, for the Spirit searches everything, even the deep things of God.G1161G2316G601G2254G1223G846G4151G1063G4151G2045G3956G2532G899G231611For who among men knows the concerns of a man except the spirit of the man that is in him? In the same way, no one knows the concerns of God except the Spirit of God.G1063G5101G444G1492G3588G444G1508G4151G444G3588G1722G846G2532G3779G3588G2316G1492G3762G1508G4151G231612Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, in order to know what has been freely given to us by God.G1161G2249G2983G3756G4151G2889G235G4151G3588G1537G2316G2443G1492G5483G2254G5259G231613We also speak these things, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual things to spiritual people.G3739G2532G2980G3756G1722G3056G442G4678G1318G235G40G4151G1722G1318G4793G4152G415214But the natural man does not welcome what comes from God's Spirit, because it is foolishness to him; he is not able to know it since it is evaluated spiritually.G1161G5591G444G1209G3756G3588G4151G2316G1063G2076G3472G846G2532G3756G1410G1097G3754G4153G35015The spiritual person, however, can evaluate everything, yet he himself cannot be evaluated by anyone.G1161G4152G350G3303G3956G1161G846G350G5259G376216For: who has known the Lord's mind, that he may instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.G1063G5101G1097G3563G2962G3739G4822G846G1161G2249G2192G3563G5547

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
