7
But we speak the wisdom of GOD in a mystery, even the
hidden wisdom, which GOD ordained before the world unto our glory:
8 Which none of the princes of this world
knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of
glory.
9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor
ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which GOD
hath prepared for them that love him.
10 But GOD hath revealed them unto us
by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of GOD.
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man,
save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of GOD knoweth no
man, but the Spirit of GOD.
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of
the world, but the spirit which is of GOD; that we might know the things that
are freely given to us of GOD.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the
words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing
spiritual things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man receiveth not the
things of the Spirit of GOD: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he
know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all
things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord,
that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of
Christ.
