1 Corinthians 2:6-13

6Now we do speak wisdom among the mature, but not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are perishing.

7Instead we speak the wisdom of God, hidden in a mystery, that God determined before the ages for our glory.

8None of the rulers of this age understood it. If they had known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

9But just as it is written, “Things that no eye has seen, or ear heard, or mind imagined, are the things God has prepared for those who love him.”

10God has revealed these to us by the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.

11For who among men knows the things of a man except the man’s spirit within him? So too, no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.

12Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things that are freely given to us by God.

13And we speak about these things, not with words taught us by human wisdom, but with those taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual things to spiritual people.
