O the deepness of the abundant wisdom and knowledge of God: how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out. For who hath known the mind of the Lord? Or who was his counselor?

But God hath opened them unto us by his spirit. For the spirit searcheth all things, yea the bottom of God's secrets. For what man knoweth the things of a man: save the spirit of a man which is within him? Even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the spirit of God.


Every man liketh the bread that is gotten in deceit; but at the last his mouth shall be filled with gravel.




For the preaching of the cross is, to them that perish, foolishness: but unto us which are saved, it is the power of God. For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and will cast away the understanding of the prudent." Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the searcher of this world? Hath not God made the wisdom of this world foolishness? read more.
For when the world, through wisdom, knew not God in the wisdom of God: it pleased God through foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom. But we preach Christ crucified: unto the Jews, an occasion of falling; and unto the Greeks, foolishness. But unto them which are called, both of Jews and Greeks, we preach Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than men: And the weakness of God is stronger than are men. Brethren, look on your calling how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many of high degree are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world, to confound the wise. And God hath chosen the weak things of the world, to confound things which are mighty. And vile things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things of no reputation, for to bring to nought things of reputation,

And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not in gloriousness of words or of wisdom, showing unto you the testimony of God. Neither showed I myself that I knew anything among you save Jesus Christ, even the same that was crucified. And I was among you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. read more.
And my words, and my preaching were not with enticing words of man's wisdom: but in showing of the spirit and of power, that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men: but in the power of God. That we speak of is wisdom among them that are perfect - not the wisdom of this world, neither of the rulers of this world, which goeth to nought - but we speak the wisdom of God, which is in secret and lieth hid, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: which wisdom none of the rulers of the world knew. For had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But as it is written, "The eye hath not seen, and the ear hath not heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him." But God hath opened them unto us by his spirit. For the spirit searcheth all things, yea the bottom of God's secrets. For what man knoweth the things of a man: save the spirit of a man which is within him? Even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the spirit of God. And we have not received the spirit of the world: but the spirit which cometh of God, for to know the things that are given to us of God, which things also we speak - not in the cunning words of man's wisdom, but with the cunning words of the holy ghost, making spiritual comparisons of spiritual things. For the natural man perceiveth not the things of the spirit of God, for they are but foolishness unto him: Neither can he perceive them, because he is spiritually examined.

He said unto him the third time, "Simon the son of Jonas, lovest thou me?" And Peter sorrowed because he said to him the third time, "Lovest thou me," and said unto him, "Lord, thou knowest all things, thou knowest that I love thee." Jesus said unto him, "Feed my sheep.

Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.

And the LORD give thee wisdom and understanding, and make thee governor of Israel, and to keep the law of the LORD thy God.

God gave now these four springaldes cunning and learning in all scripture and wisdom: but unto Daniel specially, he gave understanding of all visions and dreams.

Is it not better then for a man to eat and drink, and his soul to be merry in his labour? Yea I saw that this also was a gift of God: For who will eat or go more lustily to his work than I? He giveth unto man, what it pleaseth him; whether it be wisdom, understanding, or gladness. But unto the sinner he giveth weariness and sorrow, that he may gather and heap together the thing, that afterward shall be given unto him whom it pleaseth God. This is now a vain thing, yea a very disquietness and vexation of mind.

Daniel also cried aloud, and said, "O that the name of God might be praised for ever and ever, for wisdom and strength are his own! He changeth the times and ages; he putteth down kings, he setteth up kings; he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and understanding to those that understand;

My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and keep my commandments by thee, that thou wilt incline thin ears unto wisdom; apply thine heart then to understanding. For if thou criest after wisdom, and callest for knowledge; read more.
If thou seekest after her as after money, and diggest for her as for treasures; then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. For it is the LORD that giveth wisdom, out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. He preserveth the welfare of the righteous, and defendeth them that walk innocently; He keepeth them in the right path, and preserveth the way of his saints. Then shalt thou understand righteousness, judgment and equity - yea, and every good path. When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and thy soul delighteth in knowledge; then shall counsel preserve thee, and understanding shall keep thee. That thou mayest be delivered from the evil way, and from the man that speaketh froward things; From such as leave the high street, and walk in the ways of darkness; Which rejoice in doing evil, and delight in wicked things: Whose ways are crooked, and their paths slanderous; That thou mayest be delivered also from the strange woman, and from her that is not thine own: which giveth sweet words, forsaketh the husband of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God. For her house is inclined unto death, and her paths into hell. All they that go in unto her, come not again, neither take they hold of the way of life. Therefore walk thou in the good way, and keep the paths of the righteous. For the just shall dwell in the land, and the innocent shall remain in it. But the ungodly shall be rooted out of the land, and the wicked doers shall be taken out of it.

But he that is spiritual discusseth all things: yet he himself is judged of no man. "For who knoweth the mind of the Lord, other who shall inform him?" But we understand the mind of Christ.
