1 Corinthians 2:6-16 - The Wisdom Revealed By The Spirit

⁶ Notwithstanding, among those who are mature I do teach philosophy; though not the philosophy of the present age, nor of its rulers who are coming to nought. ⁷ No, it is God's wisdom that I utter, that hidden wisdom which God had decreed before the world began, unto our glory. ⁸ None of the rulers of the present age understands it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory. ⁹ Nay, as it is written. Eye has not seen, Nor ear heard, Neither have entered into man's heart The things which God has prepared For those who love him.

¹⁰ Yet God has unveiled them to us by his Spirit. For the Spirit fathoms everything, even the abysmal depths of God. ¹¹ For what man knows the depths of man except the man's own inner Spirit? Even so, also, the Spirit of God knows the deeps profound of God. ¹² But we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which comes forth from God, that we may realize the blessings freely given us by God. ¹³ Of these high themes we speak in words not taught by human philosophy, but by the Spirit; interpreting spiritual things to spiritual men. ¹⁴ The unspiritual man rejects the teachings of God's Spirit; for him it is folly. He cannot understand it, for it is spiritually discerned, ¹⁵ But the spiritual man discerns everything, yet is himself discerned by no one. ¹⁶ For what man understands the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct Him?
