<span class="reftext"><a href="/1_corinthians/2-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>a wisdom which not one of the leaders of the present age possesses, for if they had possessed it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/1_corinthians/2-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>But—to use the words of Scripture—we speak of things which eye has not seen nor ear heard, and which have never entered the heart of man: all that God has in readiness for them that love Him.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/1_corinthians/2-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>For us, however, God has drawn aside the veil through the teaching of the Spirit; for the Spirit searches everything, including the depths of the divine nature. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_corinthians/2-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>For, among human beings, who knows a man's inner thoughts except the man's own spirit within him?
