1 CORINTHIANS 2:11–16 11 For who knows a person’s thoughts 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 we have received not 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 in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual. 14 The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. 15 The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. 16 “For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ. PSALM 119:18 18 Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law. PSALM 51:11 11 Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me. ACTS 4:12–13 12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” 13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated, common men, they were astonished. And they recognized that they had been with Jesus. 1 CORINTHIANS 2:4 4 and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, PHILIPPIANS 1:19 19 for I know that through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my deliverance, PSALM 119:34 34 Give me understanding, that I may keep your law and observe it with my whole heart. LUKE 11:11–13 11 What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; 12 or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
