thing among you. save Jesus Christ. and
Him crucifed.
CD And 1 was with you in weakness
and in fear. and in much trembling.
90 And my speech and my preaching
were not in persuasive words Of wisdom
but in demonstration Of the spirit and OF
power.
90 That your faith should not stand in
the wisdom Of men. but in the power OF
God.
90 Howbeit we speak wisdom among
the perfect; yet q wisdom not Of this
world. nor of the -ulers of the world,
which are coming to nought.
Cd But We speak Gods wisdom in q
mystery. even the wisdom that hath been
hidden. which God foreordained before
the worlds unto our glory.
60 Which none Of the rulers of this
world knoweth: for had they known It.
they would not have crucifie1 the Lord
Of glory.
90 But as It IL written. Things which
eye saw not, and ear heard not, And
which entered not into the heart of man
Whatsoever things God prepared for
them that love Him.
Q0 But unto MS God revealed them
through the spirit; for the spirit search.
eth all things, yea, the deep things OF
God.
u5 For who among men knoweth the
things Of a man. save the spirit Of the
man. which is In him? even 80 the
things Of Goo none knoweth, save the
spirit Of God.
CID But we received, not the spirit OF
the world, but the spirit which 10 OF
God; that we might know the thfngz
that are freely given to us by God.
OLD Which things also we speak, NOT
In words which mans wisdom teacheth
but which the spirit teacheth: comparing
spiritual things with spiritual.
QD Now the natural man receiveth NOT
the things of the spirit of God; for they
are foolish unto him; and he cannot know
them, because they are spiritually judged
Q0 But he that is spiritual judgeth ali
things. and he himself Is judged of nc
man.
90 For who hath known the mind OF
the Lord, that he should instruct Him
But we have the mind OF Christ.
The Narrative.
In this wonderful chapter there are
very many lines Of important teaching
The one which is suggested by the title
chosen for our lesson, THE Revealing
Spirit" Is certainly the supreme one, and
to that, therefore, we shall confine our
attention.
The Golden Text. selected from the
heart OF the lesson, constitutes our true
starting point Taken alone, It 10 Q dec
laratson Of the fact that God has revealed
to us-that is, to those who are called
saints-things which are hidden from
man in his natural wisdom: and It also
gives the reason why the spirit IL able
to make this revelation. He It 10 Who
searcheth all things. yes. the deep things
Of God.
Let US endezyor to discover from this
chapter what the things are which are
thus revealed. how these things are re-
vealed to us. how We are to receive them.
and how to proclaim them. This 10 not
the order Of statement in the chapter.
but think It 10 the one which wiz best
enable Us to study II
First, then. ~ to the things revealed.
