1 Corinthians 2:7-15
7 But we speak God’s wisdom in a amystery, the wisdom which has been hidden, which God bpredestined before the cages to our glory, 8 awhich none of the rulers of bthis age has understood; for if they had understood it, they would not have crucified cthe Lord of glory. 9 But just as it is written,
“aThings which eye has not seen and ear has not heard,
And which have not entered the heart of man,
All that God has prepared for those who love Him.”
10 aBut to us God revealed them bthrough the Spirit, for the Spirit searches all things, even the cdepths of God. 11 For who among men knows the depths of a man except the aspirit of the man which is in him? Even so the depths of God no one knows except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we ahave received, not the spirit of bthe world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the depths graciously given to us by God, 13 of which depths we also speak, anot in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual depths with spiritual words.
14 But a anatural man bdoes not accept the depths of the Spirit of God, for they are cfoolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because dthey are spiritually examined. 15 But he who is aspiritual examines all things, yet he himself is examined by no one. 2 Corinthians 3:18
18 But we all, with unveiled face, abeholding as in a mirror the bglory of the Lord, are being ctransformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from dthe Lord, the Spirit.
2 Corinthians 4:4
4 in whose case athe god of bthis age has cblinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the dlight of the gospel of the eglory of Christ, who is the fimage of God.
2 Corinthians 4:6
6 For God, who said, “aLight shall shine out of darkness,” is the One who has bshone in our hearts to give the cLight of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.
2 Corinthians 5:16
16 Therefore from now on we recognize no one aaccording to the flesh; even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him in this way no longer.
