10 these are the things God has revealed(A) to us by his Spirit.(B)

The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. 11 For who knows a person’s thoughts(C) except their own spirit(D) within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 What we have received is not the spirit(E) of the world,(F) but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. 13 This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom(G) but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words.[a] 14 The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God(H) but considers them foolishness,(I) and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. 15 The person with the Spirit(J) makes judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgments, 16 for,

“Who has known the mind of the Lord
    so as to instruct him?”[b](K)

But we have the mind of Christ.(L)

  1. 1 Corinthians 2:13 Or Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual
  2. 1 Corinthians 2:16 Isaiah 40:13

10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

12 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.

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

14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.

40 Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe,(A) you will see the glory of God?”(B)

41 So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up(C) and said, “Father,(D) I thank you that you have heard me. 42 I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here,(E) that they may believe that you sent me.”(F)

43 When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”(G) 44 The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen,(H) and a cloth around his face.(I)

Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.”

40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.

42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.

43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
