1 Corinthians 2:11

Compare all

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.

15 But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.

1 Corinthians 2:11

For what man knoweth the things of a man - All the inmost recesses of his mind; although men are all of one nature, and so may the more easily know one another. So the things of God knoweth no one but the Spirit - Who, consequently, is God.
