Rather, as it is written : “No eye has seen , no ear has heard, no heart has imagined , what God has prepared for those who love Him.
but 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.
But God has revealed it to us by the Spirit . The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.

We have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God , that we may understand what God has freely given us.
But 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 .
And this is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit , expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.
Which things also we speak, not in words which man's wisdom teacheth , but which the Spirit teacheth; combining spiritual things with spiritual ` words ' .
The natural man does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God . For they are foolishness to him , and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned .
Now 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 .
The spiritual man judges all things, but he himself is not subject to anyone’s judgment .
But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, and he himself is judged of no man .
For who has known the mind of the Lord, so as to instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.
For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
