¹¹ For who knows a person’s thoughts^(A) except their own spirit^(B) 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^(C) of the world,^(D) 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^(E) but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words.^[a]
