    6We speak wisdom, however, among those who are full grown; yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nothing.

    7But we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory,

    8which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn't have crucified the Lord of glory.

    9But as it is written, "Things which an eye didn't see, and an ear didn't hear, which didn't enter into the heart of man, these God has prepared for those who love him."

    10But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

    11For who among men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God, except God's Spirit.

    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 by God.

    13Which things also we speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.

    14Now the natural man doesn't receive the things of God's Spirit, for they are foolishness to him, and he can't know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

    15But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is judged by no one.

    4For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord.

    6Now these things, brothers, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that in us you might learn not to think beyond the things which are written, that none of you be puffed up against one another.
