⁹ but just as it is written,

^10 [a](B)For to us God revealed them ^(C)through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the ^(D)depths of God. ¹¹ For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the ^(E)spirit of the man which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God. ¹² Now we ^(F)have received, not the spirit of ^(G)the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God, ¹³ which things we also speak, ^(H)not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, ^[b]combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.

But ^(N)we have the mind of Christ.

Jesus Our High Priest

3 Therefore, ^(A)holy brethren, partakers of a ^(B)heavenly calling, consider Jesus, ^(C)the Apostle and ^(D)High Priest of our ^(E)confession;
