²³ Having proved all these things by wisdom, I said, Let me investigate the cause. But that was far removed from me; farther than it was. ²⁴ It is indeed a deep depth, who can find it out?

⁶ We, however, speak wisdom among them who are perfect, but a wisdom not of this age, nor of the chiefs of this age to whose operations a stop is put; ⁷ but we speak a mysterious wisdom of God that hidden [wisdom] which God determinately marked out for the benefit of the ages, to our glory ⁸ which none of the chiefs of this age knew [for had they known it they would not have crucified the Lord of the glory] ⁹ things indeed, which as it is written, "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived; " which God hath prepared for them who love him; ¹⁰ and which God hath revealed to us by his spirit. For this spirit searcheth all things, even the depths of God. ¹¹ For who of mankind knoweth the things of a man, but only the spirit of the man which is in him? So no one knoweth the things of God, but the spirit of God only. ¹² Now we have not received the spirit of this world, but the spirit which is from God, that we may know the things which God hath freely granted to us; ¹³ which things we indeed speak, not in set words of human wisdom, but in the dictated words of a holy spirit, explaining spiritual things by spiritual words. ¹⁴ Now an animal man receiveth not those dictates of the spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot know them, because they are to be spiritually examined; ¹⁵ but the spiritual man examineth all things, and is himself examined by no man.
