1 Corinthians 2:7-15

7but we speakG2980 God’sG2316 wisdomG4678 in a 1mysteryG3466, the hiddenG613 wisdom whichG3739 GodG2316 2predestinedG4309 beforeG4253 the 3agesG165 to our gloryG1391; 8the wisdom 4whichG3739 noneG3762 of the rulersG758 of 5thisG3778 ageG165 has understoodG1097; for ifG1487 they had understoodG1097 it they would not have crucifiedG4717 6the LordG2962 of gloryG1391; 9but justG2531 as it is writtenG1125, “7Things whichG3739 eyeG3788 has not seenG3708 and earG3775 has not heardG191, And which have not enteredG305 the heartG2588 of manG444, AllG3745 that GodG2316 has preparedG2090 for thoseG3588 who loveG25 Him.” 1089For to us GodG2316 revealedG601 them 10throughG1223 the SpiritG4151; for the SpiritG4151 searchesG2045 allG3956 thingsG3956, evenG2532 the 11depthsG899 of GodG2316. 11For whoG5101 among menG444 knowsG3609 the thoughts of a manG444 exceptG1508 the 12spiritG4151 of the manG444 which is in him? EvenG2532 soG3779 the thoughts of GodG2316 noG3762 oneG3762 knowsG1097 exceptG1508 the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316. 12NowG1161 we 13have receivedG2983, not the spiritG4151 of 14the worldG2889, but the SpiritG4151 whoG3588 is from GodG2316, soG2443 that we may knowG3609 the thingsG5483 freelyG5483 givenG5483 to us by GodG2316, 13whichG3739 things we alsoG2532 speakG2980, 15not in wordsG3056 taughtG1318 by humanG442 wisdomG4678, but in those taughtG1318 by the SpiritG4151, 16combiningG4793 spiritualG4152 thoughts with spiritualG4152 words.

14But 17a 18naturalG5591 manG444 19does not acceptG1209 the things of the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316, for they are 20foolishnessG3472 to him; and he cannotG1410G3756 understandG1097 them, becauseG3754 they are spirituallyG4153 21appraisedG350. 15But he who is 22spiritualG4152 appraisesG350 allG3956 thingsG3956, yetG1161 he himselfG846 is appraisedG350 by noG3762 oneG3762.
