1 Corinthians 2:11

New International Reader's Version

Who can know the thoughts of another person? Only a person’s own spirit can know them. In the same way, only the Spirit of God knows God’s thoughts.

See the chapter Copy

Do you listen in when God speaks with his angels? Do you think you are the only wise person?

Each heart knows its own sadness. And no one else can share its joy.

The spirit of a person is the lamp of the Lord. It lights up what is deep down inside them.

The purposes of a person’s heart are like deep water. But one who has understanding brings them out.

A human heart is more dishonest than anything else. It can’t be healed. Who can understand it?

To some people the Spirit gives a message of wisdom. To others the same Spirit gives a message of knowledge.

God has shown these things to us through his Spirit. The Spirit understands all things. He understands even the deep things of God.
