1 Corinthians 2:9-16

New King James Version

⁹ But as it is written:

¹⁰ But ^(B)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 ^(C)spirit of the man which is in him? ^(D)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 ^(E)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 ^[a]Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. ^14 (F)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 ^(G)“who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” ^(H)But we have the mind of Christ.
