Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are ^(C1)mature; a wisdom, however, not of ^(C2)this age nor of the rulers of ^(C2)this age, who are ^(C3)passing away;

but we speak God's wisdom in a ^(C1)mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ^(C2)predestined before the ^(C3)ages to our glory;

the wisdom ^(C1)which none of the rulers of ^(C2)this age has understood; for if they had understood it, they would not have crucified ^(C3)the Lord of glory;

but just as it is written: "^(C1)THINGS WHICH EYE HAS NOT SEEN AND EAR HAS NOT HEARD, AND WHICH HAVE NOT ENTERED THE HUMAN HEART, ALL THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM."

^(F1)(C1)For to us God revealed them ^(C2)through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the ^(C3)depths of God.

For who among people knows the thoughts of a person except the ^(C1)spirit of the person that is in him? So also the thoughts of God no one knows, except the Spirit of God.

Now we ^(C1)have not received the spirit of ^(C2)the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God.

We also speak these things, ^(C1)not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, ^(F1)combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.
