For who knows the [things] of man, except the
spirit of man which is in him? So also no one knows the [things] of God
except the Spirit of God. [2:12]And we have received not the spirit of
the world, but the Spirit which is of God, that we may know the things
given us by God, [2:13]which we also speak, not in words taught by
human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, comparing spiritual
things with spiritual. [2:14]But the natural man receives not the
[things] of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he
cannot know them, for they are spiritually discerned. [2:15]But the
spiritual man discerns all things, and is himself perceived by no one.
[2:16] For who has known the mind of the Lord, who shall instruct him?
But we have the mind of Christ.

6 [3:1]And I, brothers, was not able to speak to you as spiritual, but
as carnal, as babes in Christ. [3:2]I have fed you milk, not solid
food; for you were not yet able; but you are not able even now;
[3:3]for you are yet carnal. For when there is envy and strife among
you are you not carnal and walk as men? [3:4]For when one says, I am
of Paul, and another, I, of Apollos, are you not men? [3:5]Who then is
Apollos? and who is Paul? but ministers by whom you believed, and to
each as the Lord gave. [3:6]I planted, Apollos watered, but God caused

that waters are one; and each shall receive his reward according to his
labor. [3:9] For we are God's co-laborers; you are God's field, God's
building.

7 [3:10]According to the grace of God given me as a wise architect I
have laid a foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one see
how he builds on it. [3:11]For no one can lay another foundation
besides that laid, which is Christ Jesus. [3:12]And if any man builds
on this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, grass, reeds,
[3:13]each one's work shall be manifest; for the day shall show it,
because it shall be revealed by fire, and the same fire shall try every
man's work what it is. [3:14]If any one's work continues which he has
built, he shall receive a reward; [3:15]if any one's work is consumed,
he shall suffer loss, and he shall be saved, but so as by fire.

8 [3:16]Know you not that you are a temple of God and the Spirit of God
dwells in you? [3:17]If any one destroys the temple of God, him shall
