1 καγω ελθων προς υμας, αδελφοι, ηλθον ου καθ υπεροχην λογου η σοφιας καταγγελλων υμιν το μαρτυριον του θεου. 2 ου γαρ εκρινα του ειδεναι τι εν υμιν ει μη ιησουν χριστον, και τουτον εσταυρωμενον. 3 και εγω εν ασθενεια και εν φοβω και εν τρομω πολλω εγενομην προς υμας, 4 και ο λογος μου και το κηρυγμα μου ουκ εν πειθοις ανθρωπινης σοφιας λογοις, αλλ εν αποδειξει πνευματος και δυναμεως, 5 ινα η πιστις υμων μη η εν σοφια ανθρωπων, αλλ εν δυναμει θεου. 6 σοφιαν δε λαλουμεν εν τοις τελειοις, σοφιαν δε ου του αιωνος τουτου, ουδε των αρχοντων του αιωνος τουτου των καταργουμενων· 7 αλλα λαλουμεν σοφιαν θεου εν μυστηριω, την αποκεκρυμμενην, ην προωρισεν ο θεος προ των αιωνων εις δοξαν ημων, 8 ην ουδεις των αρχοντων του αιωνος τουτου εγνωκεν· ει γαρ εγνωσαν, ουκ αν τον κυριον της δοξης εσταυρωσαν· 9 αλλα καθως γεγραπται, α οφθαλμος ουκ ειδεν και ους ουκ ηκουσεν και επι καρδιαν ανθρωπου ουκ ανεβη, α ητοιμασεν ο θεος τοις αγαπωσιν αυτον. 10 ημιν δε ο θεος απεκαλυψεν δια του πνευματος αυτου· το γαρ πνευμα παντα ερευνα, και τα βαθη του θεου. 11 τις γαρ οιδεν ανθρωπων τα του ανθρωπου ει μη το πνευμα του ανθρωπου το εν αυτω; ουτως και τα του θεου ουδεις οιδεν ει μη το πνευμα του θεου. 12 ημεις δε ου το πνευμα του κοσμου ελαβομεν, αλλα το πνευμα το εκ του θεου, ινα ειδωμεν τα υπο του θεου χαρισθεντα ημιν. 13 α και λαλουμεν ουκ εν διδακτοις ανθρωπινης σοφιας λογοις, αλλ εν διδακτοις πνευματος αγιου, πνευματικοις πνευματικα συγκρινοντες. 14 ψυχικος δε ανθρωπος ου δεχεται τα του πνευματος του θεου· μωρια γαρ αυτω εστιν, και ου δυναται γνωναι, οτι πνευματικως ανακρινεται. 15 ο δε πνευματικος ανακρινει μεν παντα, αυτος δε υπ ουδενος ανακρινεται. 16 τις γαρ εγνω νουν κυριου, ος συμβιβασει αυτον; ημεις δε νουν χριστου εχομεν.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

… in mentioning this, he hath mentioned also the resurrection of our bodies, and the manifestation of His miracles here, and our partaking of His kingdom, and the good things, which "eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man."
