"Eye has not seen, nor ear
heard,
neither have entered into the
heart of man,
the things which God has
prepared
for them that love
him."
Your faith should not stand in the wistom of
men, but in the power of God. Howbeit we speak wisdom
among them that are perfect: you are not the wisdom of
this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come
to naught; but we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery,
even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the
world to our Glory, which none of the princes of this
world knew for had they known it, they would not have
crucified the Lord of Glory.
But as it is written, "Eye has not seen, nor
ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man,
the things which God has prepared for them that love
him." But God has revealed them to us by His Spirit for
the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of
God. For what man knows the things of a man, except the
spirit of that man which is in him? In this way, no man
knows the things of God, as only the Spirit of
God.
Now we have received, not the spirit of the
world, but the Spirit which is of God; that we might
know the things that are freely given to us of God,
which things also we speak, not in the words which man's
wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Ghost teaches;
comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
However, the natural man does not receive the
things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness to
him: neither CAN he know them, because they are
spiritually discerned.
But he that is spiritual judges all things,
yet he himself is judged of no man, for who has known
the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we
HAVE the mind of Christ.
