Zechariah 13:9
New King James Version
9 I will bring the one-third (A)through the fire,
Will (B)refine them as silver is refined,
And test them as gold is tested.
(C)They will call on My name,
And I will answer them.

And each one will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’ ”
Isaiah 32:6-7

And his heart will work (A)iniquity:
To practice ungodliness,

And he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
7 Also the schemes of the schemer are evil;
He devises wicked plans
To destroy the poor with (B)lying words,
Even when the needy speaks justice.

And apply your heart to understanding;

And lift up your voice for understanding,
4 (B)If you seek her as silver,
And search for her as for hidden treasures;
5 (C)Then you will understand the fear of the Lord,
And find the knowledge of God.

1 Corinthians 2:10-16
New King James Version
10 But (A)God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knows the things of a man except the (B)spirit of the man which is in him? (C)Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but (D)the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.
13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the [a]Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 (E)But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. 16 For (F)“who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” (G)But we have the mind of Christ.
