⁶Yet among ^ethe mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not ^fa wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, ^gwho are doomed to pass away. ⁷But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, ^hwhich God decreed before the ages for our glory. ⁸None of ⁱthe rulers of this age understood this, for ^jif they had, they would not have crucified ^kthe Lord of glory. ⁹But, as it is written,

^l“What no eye has seen, nor ear heard,

nor the heart of man imagined,

what God has ^mprepared ⁿfor those who love him”—

¹⁰these things ^oGod has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even ^pthe depths of God. ¹¹For who knows a person’s thoughts ^qexcept the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. ¹²Now ^rwe have received not ^sthe spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. ¹³And we impart this ^tin words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, ^uinterpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual.⁴
