1 Corinthians 2 Cross References - Wesley

¹ And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring to you the testimony of God. ² For I determined not to know any thing among you save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. ³ And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. ⁴ And my speech and my preaching was not with the persuasive words of human wisdom, but with the demonstration of the Spirit and of power. ⁵ That your faith might not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. ⁶ Yet we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: but not the wisdom of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, that come to nought: But we speak the hidden wisdom of God in a mystery, ⁷ which God ordained before the world for our glory; ⁸ Which none of the rulers of this world knew; for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. ⁹ But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor hath ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that love him. ¹⁰ But God hath revealed them to us by his Spirit; for the Spirit searcheth all things, even the deep things of God. ¹¹ For what man knoweth the things of a man, but the spirit of a man which is in him? So the things of God also knoweth no one, but the Spirit of God. ¹² Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God, that we may know the things which are freely given to us of God. ¹³ Which also we speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Holy Spirit, explaining spiritual things by spiritual words. ¹⁴ But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit; for they are foolishness to him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. ¹⁵ But the spiritual man discerneth all things, while he himself is discerned by no man. ¹⁶ For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

¹² Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected: but I pursue, if I may apprehend that, for which I was also apprehended by Christ Jesus. ¹³ Brethren, I do not account myself to have apprehended. ¹⁴ But one thing I do, forgetting the things that are behind, and reaching forth unto the things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded; and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.

³⁴ Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment and cast lots.

³ Jesus answered and said to him, Verily, verily I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. ⁴ Nicodemus saith to him, How can a man be born, when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born? ⁵ Jesus answered, Verily, verily I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. ⁶ That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit, is spirit.

³ These things will they do, because they have not known the Father nor me.

³ Him Paul would have to go forth with him; and he took and circumcised him, because of the Jews who were in those places; for they all knew his father, that he was a Greek.

¹⁴ And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, a worshiper of God, heard; whose heart the Lord opened to assent to the things which were spoken by Paul.

¹ And taking their journey through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.

⁶ But not finding them, they dragged Jason and certain brethren to the rulers of the city, crying aloud, These men, that have turned the world upside down, are come hither also: ⁷ Whom Jason hath privately received; and all these men act contrary to the decrees of Cesar, saying, that there is another king, one Jesus. ⁸ And they alarmed the multitude and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things. ⁹ However having taken security of Jason and of the rest, they let them go. ¹⁰ But the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night to Berea, who coming thither, went into the synagogue of the Jews. ¹¹ These were more ingenuous than those of Thessalonica, receiving the word with all readiness of mind, and daily searching the scriptures, whether those things were so? ¹² Therefore many of them believed, and of the Grecian women of considerable rank, and of the men not a few.

¹⁸ Then some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers incountered him: and some said, What would this babler say? Others, he seemeth to be a proclaimer of strange gods; because he preached to them Jesus, and the resurrection.

¹ After these things, Paul departing from Athens, came to Corinth.

¹ Therefore there is now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

⁵ They that are after the flesh, mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

⁵ They that are after the flesh, mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. ⁶ Now to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace:

⁶ Now to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace: ⁷ Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. ⁸ So then they who are in the flesh cannot please God.

¹⁵ For ye have not received the Spirit of bondage again unto fear, but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. ¹⁶ The same Spirit beareth witness with our spirits, that we are the children of God.

³² He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

¹⁹ by the power of the Spirit, so that I have fully preached the Gospel of Christ, from Jerusalem round about, as far as Illyricum.

¹⁸ For such serve not the Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by good words and fair speeches, deceive the hearts of the simple.

²⁵ according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, (according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret since the world began, ²⁶ But now made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God,

⁶ in all utterance and in all knowledge, As the testimony of Christ was confirmed among you:

¹⁷ I know not that I baptized any other. For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel; but not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. ¹⁸ For the doctrine of the cross is indeed to them that perish foolishness; but to us who are saved, it is the power of God.

¹⁸ For the doctrine of the cross is indeed to them that perish foolishness; but to us who are saved, it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and abolish the understanding of the prudent. ²⁰ Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

²² For whereas the Jews demand signs, and the Greeks seek wisdom, We preach Christ crucified, ²³ to the Jews a stumbling block, and to the Greeks foolishness:

²³ to the Jews a stumbling block, and to the Greeks foolishness: ²⁴ But to them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. ²⁶ Behold your calling brethren: that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble are called: ²⁷ But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world, to shame the wise, and the weak things of the world, to shame the things that are mighty:

²⁷ But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world, to shame the wise, and the weak things of the world, to shame the things that are mighty: ²⁸ And the base things of the world, and things that are despised, hath God chosen; yea, things that are not, to bring to nought the things that are; That no flesh may glory before him.

²⁸ And the base things of the world, and things that are despised, hath God chosen; yea, things that are not, to bring to nought the things that are; That no flesh may glory before him.

¹ And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring to you the testimony of God.

⁴ And my speech and my preaching was not with the persuasive words of human wisdom, but with the demonstration of the Spirit and of power.

⁶ Yet we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: but not the wisdom of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, that come to nought: But we speak the hidden wisdom of God in a mystery,

⁸ Which none of the rulers of this world knew; for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

¹⁰ But God hath revealed them to us by his Spirit; for the Spirit searcheth all things, even the deep things of God. ¹¹ For what man knoweth the things of a man, but the spirit of a man which is in him? So the things of God also knoweth no one, but the Spirit of God. ¹² Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God, that we may know the things which are freely given to us of God. ¹³ Which also we speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Holy Spirit, explaining spiritual things by spiritual words. ¹⁴ But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit; for they are foolishness to him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

¹ And I, brethren, could not speak to you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, as unto babes in Christ.

⁶ I planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

²² Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas; or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come,

⁵ Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and manifest the counsels of the hearts. And then shall every one have praise from God.

¹⁰ We are fools for Christ's sake; but ye are wise in Christ: we are weak; but ye are strong: ye are honourable; but we are despised. ¹¹ Even to this present hour, we both hunger and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain abode, And labour, working with our own hands: ¹² being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it: ¹³ Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and off-scouring of all things to this day.

²⁰ For the kingdom of God is not in speech, but in power.

¹¹ If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great matter, if we shall reap your carnal things?

³ in the cloud and in the sea, And all ate the same spiritual meat, ⁴ And all drank the same spiritual drink (for they drank out of the spiritual rock which followed them; and that rock was Christ) Yet, with the most of them, God was not well-pleased; ⁵ for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

¹ Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. ² Ye know that when ye were heathens, ye were carried away after dumb idols, as ye were led. ³ Therefore I give you to know, that as no one speaking by the Spirit of God, calleth Jesus accursed; so no one can say, Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

⁸ For to one is given by the Spirit, the word of wisdom; to another by the same Spirit, the word of knowledge; ⁹ To another faith by the same Spirit; ¹⁰ to another the gift of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another the discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues. ¹¹ But one and the same Spirit worketh all these, dividing to every one severally as he willeth.

² For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue, speaketh not to men, but to God; for no one understandeth him, though by the Spirit he speaketh mysteries:

²⁰ Brethren, be not children in understanding: in wickedness be ye as infants, but in understanding be ye grown men.

³⁰ let the first be silent.

³⁷ If any one think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things which I write to you, are the commandments of the Lord.

⁴⁴ It is sown an animal body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is an animal body, and there is a spiritual body.

⁴⁶ Yet the spiritual body was not first, but the animal; afterward the spiritual.

¹² For this is our rejoicing, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with carnal wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more especially toward you.

¹⁴ But their understandings were blinded: and until this day the same veil remaineth unremoved on the reading of the old testament, which is taken away in Christ.

¹ Therefore having this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not: But have renounced the hidden things of shame,

⁴ Whose unbelieving minds the god of this world hath blinded, lest the illumination of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine upon them.

⁴ Whose unbelieving minds the god of this world hath blinded, lest the illumination of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine upon them. ⁵ For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. ⁶ For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to inlighten us with the knowledge of the glory of God, in the face of Jesus Christ. ⁷ But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God, and not of us.

⁷ But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God, and not of us. ⁸ We are troubled on every side, yet not crushed; ⁹ perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; thrown down, but not destroyed; ¹⁰ Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our body. ¹¹ We who live are always delivered unto death for the sake of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal body. ¹² So then death worketh in us, but life in you. Yet having the same spirit of faith,

¹⁶ Therefore we faint not, but even though the outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

⁴ in much patience, in afflictions,

⁷ By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right-hand and the left:

⁵ For when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side: from without were fightings, from within were fears.

¹ Now I Paul myself, who when present am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you, intreat you, by the meekness and gentleness of Christ,

¹⁰ For his letters indeed, say they, are weighty and strong; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.

⁶ For if I am unskilful in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly manifest to you in all things.

²⁹ Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is offended, and I burn not? ³⁰ Since I must glory, I will glory of the things that concern my infirmities.

⁵ Of such an one I will glory; but I will not glory of myself, unless in my infirmities. ⁶ For if I should resolve to boast, I should not be a fool; for I speak the truth: but I forbear, lest any one should think of me above what he seeth me, or heareth from me. ⁷ And lest I should be lifted up with the abundance of the revelations, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan, to buffet me, lest I should be lifted up. ⁸ Concerning this, I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. ⁹ But he said to me, My grace is sufficient for thee; for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my weaknesses, that the strength of Christ may rest upon me.

⁹ But he said to me, My grace is sufficient for thee; for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my weaknesses, that the strength of Christ may rest upon me. ¹⁰ Therefore I am well pleased in weaknesses, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.

⁴ For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God: and we also are weak with him; but we shall live with him, by the power of God in you.

⁹ For we rejoice, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.

¹¹ Finally, brethren, farewel: be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace, and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

¹⁰ For do I now satisfy men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

¹² For neither did I receive it from man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

³ (But neither was Titus, who was with me, ⁴ being a Greek, compelled to be circumcised, Because of false brethren introduced unawares, who came in privily, to spy out our liberty which we have through Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage: ⁵ To whom we did not yield by submission, no, not an hour, that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.)

¹ O thoughtless Galatians, who hath bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you!

¹³ And ye did not slight or disdain my temptation which was in the flesh, but received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus. ¹⁴ Where is then the blessedness ye spake of?

¹ Brethren, if a man be overtaken in any fault, ye who are spiritual restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

¹⁴ But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world is crucified to me, and I unto the world.

⁴ As he hath chosen us through him, before the foundation of the world, that we might be holy and blameless before him in love,

² who were dead in trespasses and sins, Wherein ye formerly walked, according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the sons of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in time past,

³ as I wrote before in few words,

³ as I wrote before in few words, ⁴ By reading which ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ:

⁴ By reading which ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ: ⁵ Which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it hath now been revealed to the holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit,

⁵ Which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it hath now been revealed to the holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit, ⁶ That the Gentiles are fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and joint-partakers of his promise by Christ through the gospel, ⁷ Of which I have been made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effectual working of his power. ⁸ Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints is this grace given, to preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ. ⁹ And to let all men see, what is the fellowship of the mystery, which was hidden from the beginning of the world by God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

¹¹ And he gave some apostles, and some prophets, and some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers; ¹² For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, to the edifying the body of Christ; ¹³ Till we all come to the unity of the faith and knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

¹³ Till we all come to the unity of the faith and knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: ¹⁴ That we may be no longer children, fluctuating to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the slight of men, by cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive:

¹⁹ wherein is excess; but be ye filled with the Spirit, Speaking to each other in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your hearts unto the Lord;

¹⁰ That ye may try the things that are excellent, that ye may be sincere and without offence unto the day of Christ,

¹⁶ 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 heart unto the Lord.

¹² Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayer, that ye may stand, perfect and filled, with all the will of God.

⁵ For our gospel came not to you in word only, but also with power, and with the Holy Ghost, and with much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you, for your sake.

²¹ Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

¹⁰ When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all that believe (now that our testimony was believed among you) in that day. ¹¹ According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I am instructed.

¹³ having put me into the ministry, Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecuter, and a reviler; but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

⁸ Therefore be not thou ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel, according to the power of God, Who hath saved and called us with an holy calling, ⁹ not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus, before the world began;

¹⁶ But they now desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for he hath prepared a city for them.

¹² Happy is the man that endureth temptation: for when he hath been proved, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

¹ My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. For if there come into your assembly a man with a gold ring,

⁵ Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom, which he hath promised to them that love him?

² For in many things we offend all. If any one offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.

¹⁵ This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, animal, devilish.

⁵ Do ye think, that the scripture saith in vain, The Spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth against envy?

¹¹ Searching what, and what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them signified, when he testified before hand the sufferings of Christ and the glories that should follow. ¹² To whom it was revealed, that not for themselves, but for us they ministered the things which have been now declared to you by them that have preached the gospel to you, with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven: which things angels desire to look into.

¹ The elders that are among you I exhort, who am a fellow-elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and likewise a partaker of the glory which shall be revealed,

¹⁰ Now the God of all grace, who hath called us by Christ Jesus to his eternal glory, after ye have suffered a while, himself shall perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

³ As his divine power hath given us all things that pertain to life and godliness, thro' the knowledge of him that hath called us by glory and virtue,

¹⁶ For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eye-witnesses of his majesty.

¹⁸ For by speaking swelling words of vanity, they allure thro' the desire of the flesh, thro' wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them that live in error.

²⁰ But ye have an anointing from the Holy one, and know all things.

²⁷ But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any should teach you, save as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie; and as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in them.

¹ Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

⁴ Ye are of God, beloved children, and have overcome them; because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. ⁵ They are of the world; therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

¹⁴ And we have seen and testify, that the Father sent his Son to be the Saviour of the world.

¹⁹ He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us.

¹¹ And this is the testimony, that God hath given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. ¹² He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. ¹³ These things have I written to you that believe on the name of the Son of God, that ye may know ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the Son of God.

¹⁹ but he that is born of God keepeth himself, and the wicked one toucheth him not. We know, that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in the wicked one. ²⁰ But we know that the Son of God is come; and he hath given us an understanding that we may know the true one; and we are in the true one, even in his Son Jesus Christ; this is the true God and eternal life.

²⁰ But we know that the Son of God is come; and he hath given us an understanding that we may know the true one; and we are in the true one, even in his Son Jesus Christ; this is the true God and eternal life.

¹⁹ These are they who separate themselves, sensual, not having the Spirit.

¹ The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew his servants the things which must shortly come to pass: and he sent and signified them by his angel to his servant John, ² Who hath testified the Word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ, all things which he saw.

⁹ I John, your brother and companion in the affliction, and in the kingdom, and patience of Jesus, was in the island Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus.

⁹ And the great dragon was cast out, the antient serpent, who is called the devil and satan, who deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out unto the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

⁸ And all that dwell upon the earth will worship him, whose name is not written in the book of life of the Lamb, who was slain, from the foundation of the world.

¹⁰ And I fell before his feet to worship him: but he saith to me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellow-servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God. The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

⁶ And he said to me, These sayings are faithful and true: the Lord the God of the holy prophets hath sent his angel, to shew his servants the things which must be done shortly.
