6 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.
7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden
wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory,
8 which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they
known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
9 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.”
10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For
the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
11 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.
12 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.
13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s
wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches,
comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 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.
15 But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself
is rightly judged by no one.
16 For “who has known the mind of the LORD that he
may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
