1 Corinthians 2:8-16
8the wisdom 1which none of the rulers of 2this age has understood; for if they had understood it, they would not have crucified 3the Lord of glory; 9but just as it is written: “4Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, And which have not entered the human heart, All that God has prepared for those who love Him.” 1056For to us God revealed them 7through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the 8depths of God. 11For who among people knows the thoughts of a person except the 9spirit of the person that is in him? So also the thoughts of God no one knows, except the Spirit of God. 12Now we 10have not received the spirit of 11the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God. 13We also speak these things, 12not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, 13combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.
14But 14a 15natural person 16does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are 17foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15But the one who is 18spiritual discerns all things, yet he himself is 19discerned by no one. 16For 20who has known the mind of the Lord, that he will instruct Him? But 21we have the mind of Christ.
