Spiritual Wisdom and the Mind of Christ

1 Corinthians 2:6-16

2
Chapter 2
6 However, we speak wisdom among the perfect; however, wisdom not of this age nor of the rulers of this age, the ones being rendered powerless. 7 but we speak God's wisdom in mystery, the hidden wisdom, which God predestined before the ages for our glory 8 which none of the rulers of this age has known. For if they had known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 but as it is written, “What eye did not see and ear did not hear and did not ascend upon the heart of a human, what things God prepared for those who love him.” 10 For God revealed it to us through the Spirit, for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. 11 For who among humans knows the things of the human except the spirit of the human, the one within him? So also no one has known the things of God except the Spirit of God. 12 But we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit from God, that we might know the things that God has granted to us. 13 And we speak not in words taught by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things. 14 But the soulish man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But the spiritual one examines all things, yet he is examined by no one. 16 For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
