The Bible and Modern Criticism 89 1 Cor. 2:4.—“And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power.” 1 Cor. 2:12, 13.—“Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God, that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
