The Spirit

     

God has revealed it to us, through His Spirit, because the Spirit probes everything, even the depth of God. 
     Who but his own spirit knows the secrets of a person? Similarly, no one but the Spirit of  God knows the secrets of God. We have not received the spirit of the world, but the spirit who comes from God and, through Him, we understand what God in His goodness has given us. 
     So we speak of this, not in terms inspired by human wisdom, but in a language taught by the Spirit, explaining a spiritual wisdom to spiritual persons. The one who remains on the psychological level does not understand the things of the Spirit. They are foolishness for him and he does not understand because they require a spiritual experience. On the other hand, the spiritual person judges everything but no one judges him. Who has known the mind of God so as to teach him? But we have the mind of Christ. (1 Corinthians 2:10b-16)
