Wisdom from the Spirit

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

l“What no eye has seen, nor ear heard,

nor the heart of man imagined,

what God has mprepared nfor those who love him”—

¹⁰these things oGod has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even pthe depths of God. ¹¹For who knows a person's thoughts qexcept the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. ¹²Now rwe have received not sthe 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 tin words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, uinterpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual.4

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