1 Corinthians 2:6-16

Wisdom from the Spirit

6Yet among athe mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not ba wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, cwho are doomed to pass away. 7But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, dwhich God decreed before the ages for our glory. 8None of ethe rulers of this age understood this, for fif they had, they would not have crucified gthe Lord of glory. 9But, as it is written,

hWhat no eye has seen, nor ear heard,
nor the heart of man imagined,
what God has iprepared jfor those who love him”—
10these things kGod has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even lthe depths of God. 11For who knows a person’s thoughts mexcept the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12Now nwe have received not othe spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. 13And we impart this pin words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, qinterpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual.
Or  interpreting spiritual truths in spiritual language, or comparing spiritual things with spiritual


14The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are sfolly to him, and the is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. 15The uspiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. 16 vFor who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But wwe have the mind of Christ.
