1 Corinthians 2:9–3:3

9  but according as it is written, Things which eye has not seen, and ear not heard, and which have not come into man’s heart, which God has prepared for them that love him, 10  but God has revealed to us by his Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. 11  For who of men hath known the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? thus also the things of God knows no one except the Spirit of God. 12  But we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God, that we may know the things which have been freely given to us of God: 13  which also we speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, communicating spiritual things by spiritual means. 14  But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him; and he cannot know them because they are spiritually discerned; 15  but the spiritual discerns all things, and he is discerned of no one. 16  For who has known the mind of the Lord, who shall instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

Chapter 3

1  And I, brethren, have not been able to speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly; as to babes in Christ. 2  I have given you milk to drink, not meat, for ye have not yet been able, nor indeed are ye yet able; 3  for ye are yet carnal. For whereas there are among you emulation and strife, are ye not carnal, and walk according to man?
