6 We speak wisdom, however, among those who are full grown; yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nothing.
6 We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.

9 But as it is written, "Things which eye didn't see, and ear didn't hear, Which didn't enter into the heart of man, Whatever things God prepared for those who love him."

10 But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

13 Which things also we speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Ruach HaKodesh teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.

14 Now the natural man doesn't receive the things of the God's Spirit, for they are foolishness to him, and he can't know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
14 The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.
15 But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is judged by no one.
15 The person with the Spirit makes judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgments,
16 "For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him?" But we have Messiah's mind.
16 for, “Who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?”But we have the mind of Christ.
