(H)And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 34 And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ (I)for they shall all know me, (J)from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For (K)I will forgive their iniquity, and (L)I will remember their sin no more.”

1 Corinthians 2:10-14
English Standard Version
10 these things (A)God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even (B)the depths of God. 11 For who knows a person's thoughts (C)except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now (D)we have received not (E)the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. 13 And we impart this (F)in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, (G)interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual.[a]
14 The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are (H)folly to him, and (I)he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.

Romans 8:6-11
English Standard Version
6 For to set (A)the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. 7 For the mind that is set on the flesh is (B)hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; (C)indeed, it cannot. 8 Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact (D)the Spirit of God dwells in you. (E)Anyone who does not have (F)the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. 10 But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 If the Spirit of (G)him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus[a] from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies (H)through his Spirit who dwells in you.

4 (I)Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. 5 (J)Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but (K)our sufficiency is from God, 6 who has made us sufficient to be (L)ministers of (M)a new covenant, not of (N)the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but (O)the Spirit gives life.
