1 Corinthians 2:7-11
2:7 Instead we speak the wisdom of God, hidden in a mystery, that God determined before the ages for our glory.
2:8 None of the rulers of this age understood it. If they had known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
2:9 But just as it is written, “Things that no eye has seen, or ear heard, or mind imagined, 1 are the things God has prepared for those who love him.” 2
2:10 God has revealed these to us by the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
2:11 For who among men knows the things of a man except the man’s spirit within him? So too, no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.
