⁴ and my ^[a]message and my preaching were ^(A)not in persuasive words of ^[b]wisdom, but in demonstration of ^(B)the Spirit and of power,

^10 [a](A)For to us God revealed them ^(B)through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the ^(C)depths of God.

¹¹ For who among people knows the thoughts of a person except the ^(A)spirit of the person that is in him? So also the thoughts of God no one knows, except the Spirit of God.

¹² Now we ^(A)have not received the spirit of ^(B)the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God.

¹³ We also speak these things, ^(A)not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, ^[a]combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.

¹⁴ But ^[a]a ^(A)natural person ^(B)does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are ^(C)foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.
