And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church.

Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,

to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places,

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.

For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
