1 Corinthians 2:9-12

Wisdom from the Spirit

⁹ But, as it is written,
_l "What no eye has seen, nor ear heard,
nor the heart of man imagined,
what God has _m prepared _n for those who love him" -

¹⁰ these things _o God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even _p the depths of God. ¹¹ For who knows a person's thoughts _q except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. ¹² Now _r we have received not _s the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God.
