1 Corinthians 2:11 in Context — 1 Corinthians 2

9 Porém, assim como está escrito: “As coisas que o olho não viu, e não subiram que ao coração humano, [são] as que Deus preparou para os que o amam”.

10 Mas Deus as revelou para nós pelo seu Espírito. Porque o Espírito investiga todas as coisas, até as profundezas de Deus.

11 Pois quem dentre os seres humanos sabe as coisas do ser humano, senão o espírito do ser humano que nele está? Assim também ninguém sabe as coisas de Deus, senão o Espírito de Deus.

12 Nós, porém, não recebemos o espírito do mundo, mas sim, o Espírito que provém de Deus; para que saibamos as coisas que por Deus nos são dadas;

13 as quais também falamos, não com palavras que a sabedoria ensina, mas com as que o Espírito Santo ensina, interpretando [coisas] espirituais por [meios] espirituais.
