1 Corinthians 2:7
Compare all
5 that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the apower of God.  

Spiritual Wisdom

6 However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.
7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God1 ordained before the ages for our glory,  
8 which none of the rulers of this age knew; for ahad they known, they would not have bcrucified the Lord of glory.  
9 But as it is written:
a“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”  
10 But aGod has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.  
11 For what man knows the things of a man except the aspirit of the man which is in him? bEven so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.  
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but athe Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.  
13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the1 Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.  
14 aBut the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
