The King James Version Bible

1 Corinthians 2:4-8

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

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

  3. 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:

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

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