1Corinthians:2:6-16
Seeker Overlay ON
*
However ,
we speak wisdom among those who are mature ,
yet not the wisdom of this age ,
nor of the rulers of this age ,
who are coming to nothing .
*
But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery ,
the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory ,
*
which none of the rulers of this age knew ;
for had they known ,
they would not have crucified the Lord of glory .
*
But as it is written : "
Eye has not seen ,
nor ear heard ,
Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him ."
*
But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit .
For the Spirit searches all things ,
yes ,
the deep things of God .
*
For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him ?
Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God .
*
Now we have received ,
not the spirit of the world ,
but the Spirit who is from God ,
that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God .
*
These things we also speak ,
not in words which man '
s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches ,
comparing spiritual things with spiritual .
*
But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God ,
for they are foolishness to him ;
nor can he know them ,
because they are spiritually discerned .
*
But he who is spiritual judges all things ,
yet he himself is rightly judged by no one .
*
For "
who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him ?"
But we have the mind of Christ .
