* But we speak wisdom among the perfect ; but wisdom not of this world , nor of the rulers of this world , who come to nought . * But we speak God 's wisdom in [a ] mystery , that hidden [wisdom ] which God had predetermined before the ages for our glory : * which none of the princes of this age knew , (for had they known , they would not have crucified the Lord of glory ;) * but according as it is written , Things which eye has not seen , and ear not heard , and which have not come into man 's heart , which God has prepared for them that love him , * but God has revealed to us by [his ] Spirit ; for the Spirit searches all things , even the depths of God . * For who of men hath known the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him ? thus also the things of God knows no one except the Spirit of God . * But we have received , not the spirit of the world , but the Spirit which [is ] of God , that we may know the things which have been freely given to us of God : * which also we speak , not in words taught by human wisdom , but in those taught by the Spirit , communicating spiritual [things ] by spiritual [means ]. * But [the ] natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God , for they are folly to him ; and he cannot know [them ] because they are spiritually discerned ; * but the spiritual discerns all things , and he is discerned of no one . * For who has known the mind of [the ] Lord , who shall instruct him ? But we have the mind of Christ .
