* We do speak wisdom among the mature , but a wisdom not of this world nor of the defeated rulers of this world . * But we speak a wisdom of God in a mystery , the hidden wisdom which God predestined before the world began for our glory . * None of the rulers of this world knew it , for if they had known it they would not have crucified the Lord of glory . * But as it is written , "What eye has not seen and what ear has not heard and what has not entered human mind , God has prepared for those who love him ." * To us God has revealed this by his Spirit . For the Spirit searches all things , even the depths of God . * For who of men knows what pertains to a man except the spirit of the man which is in him . Just so no one knows what pertains to God except the Spirit of God . * But we did not receive the spirit of the world , but the Spirit that is from God , so that we know the gracious gifts of God . * And these we speak of , not in words taught by man 's wisdom , but in words taught by the Spirit , expressing spiritual things in spiritual words . * But the animal 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 understood . * But the spiritual man understands all things though he himself is understood by no one . * For "Who has known the mind of the Lord ? Who will teach him ?" But we have the mind of Christ .
