1 Corinthians 2:12 in Context — 1 Corinthians 2
10 Dieu nous les a révélées par l’Esprit. Car l’Esprit sonde tout, même les profondeurs de Dieu.
11 Lequel des hommes, en effet, connaît les choses de l’homme, si ce n’est l’esprit de l’homme qui est en lui? De même, personne ne connaît les choses de Dieu, si ce n’est l’Esprit de Dieu.
12 Or nous, nous n’avons pas reçu l’esprit du monde, mais l’Esprit qui vient de Dieu, afin que nous connaissions les choses que Dieu nous a données par sa grâce.
13 Et nous en parlons, non avec des discours qu’enseigne la sagesse humaine, mais avec ceux qu’enseigne l’Esprit, employant un langage spirituel pour les choses spirituelles.
14 Mais l’homme animal ne reçoit pas les choses de l’Esprit de Dieu, car elles sont une folie pour lui, et il ne peut les connaître, parce que c’est spirituellement qu’on en juge.
