1CO 2:6 We do, however, speak a
message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the
rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. 7 No, we speak of God's secret
wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory
before time began. 8 None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they
had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 However, as it is
written:
"No eye has seen,
no ear has heard,
no mind has conceived
what God has prepared for those who love him" --
1CO 2:10 but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit.
The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. 11 For who
among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In
the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 We
have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that
we may understand what God has freely given us. 13 This is what we speak, not
in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit,
expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words. 14 The man without the Spirit
does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are
foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually
discerned. 15 The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he
himself is not subject to any man's judgment:
1CO 2:16 "For who has known
the mind of the Lord
that he may instruct him?"
But we have the mind of Christ.
