1 Corinthians 2:9-16 ▼

9 But as it has been written: “What no eye has seen, and no ear has heard, and has not gone up upon the heart of man—as much as God prepared for those loving Him.”

10 For God revealed it to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.

11 For who of men knows the things of the man except the spirit of the man that is in him? So also, no one has known the things of God except the Spirit of God.

12 Now we did not receive the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things having been graciously given to us by God,

13 which also we speak, not in words taught of human wisdom, but in those taught of the Spirit, expressing spiritual things by spiritual means.

14 But the natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he is not able to know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

15 But the spiritual man judges all things, but he himself is judged by no one.

16 For “who has known the mind of the Lord, that he will instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
