1 Corinthians 2:7-14
7but we speak God’s wisdom in a 1mystery, the hidden wisdom which God 2predestined before the 3ages to our glory; 8the wisdom 4which none of the rulers of 5this age has understood; for if they had understood it they would not have crucified 6the Lord of glory; 9but just as it is written, “7Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, And which have not entered the heart of man, All that God has prepared for those who love Him.” 1089For to us God revealed them 10through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the 11depths of God. 11For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the 12spirit of the man which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God. 12Now we 13have received, not the spirit of 14the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God, 13which things we also speak, 15not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, 16combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.
14But 17a 18natural man 19does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are 20foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually 21appraised.
