1 Corinthians 2: 6 - 13
|
| 6
|
Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to pass away.
|
| 7
|
But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glorification.
|
| 8
|
None of the rulers of this age understood this; for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
|
| 9
|
But, as it is written, "What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him,"
|
| 10
|
God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.
|
| 11
|
For what person knows a man's thoughts except the spirit of the man which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.
|
| 12
|
Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might understand the gifts bestowed on us by God.
|
| 13
|
And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who possess the Spirit.
