    6We speak wisdom, however, among them that are fullgrown: yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nought:

    7but we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, [even] the [wisdom] that hath been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds unto our glory:

    8which none of the rulers of this world hath known: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory:

    9but as it is written, Things which eye saw not, and ear heard not, And [which] entered not into the heart of man, Whatsoever things God prepared for them that love him.

    10But unto us God revealed [them] through the Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

    11For who among men knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of the man, which is in him? even so the things of God none knoweth, save the Spirit of God.

    12But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is from God; that we might know the things that were freely given to us of God.

    13Which things also we speak, not in words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Spirit teacheth; combining spiritual things with spiritual [words] .

    14Now the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him; and he cannot know them, because they are spiritually judged.

    15But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, and he himself is judged of no man.
