The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. 11For who among men knows the thoughts of man except his own spirit within him? So too, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.…

1 Corinthians 2
1. Paul declares that his preaching,
4. though it bring not excellence of speech, or of human wisdom,
5. yet consists in the power of God;
6. and so far excels the wisdom of this world, that the natural man cannot understand it.














But God
This phrase emphasizes the divine initiative and intervention. In the Greek, "God" (θεός, theos) is the subject, highlighting His sovereignty and active role in revelation. Historically, this underscores the Christian belief that understanding and wisdom are not human achievements but gifts from God. It is a reminder of the grace and mercy of God, who chooses to reveal Himself to humanity.

has revealed
The Greek word for "revealed" is "ἀπεκάλυψεν" (apekalypsen), which means to uncover or disclose. This term is significant in the context of divine revelation, indicating that what was once hidden is now made known. In the scriptural context, it suggests that the mysteries of God, previously concealed, are now accessible through divine action.

it to us
The "us" refers to the apostles and, by extension, all believers. This inclusion signifies the communal aspect of revelation, where the truths of God are shared within the body of Christ. Historically, this reflects the early Christian community's understanding of being recipients of divine knowledge, entrusted with the message of the Gospel.

by the Spirit
The Holy Spirit (πνεῦμα, pneuma) is the agent of revelation. In the conservative Christian perspective, the Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, actively involved in guiding believers into all truth. This phrase underscores the role of the Holy Spirit in illuminating the minds and hearts of believers, enabling them to comprehend spiritual truths.

The Spirit searches
The Greek word "ἐρευνᾷ" (ereuná) means to examine or investigate thoroughly. This portrays the Spirit as actively engaged in understanding and revealing the depths of God's wisdom. It suggests a dynamic and ongoing process of revelation, where the Spirit continually explores and discloses divine truths to believers.

all things
This phrase indicates the comprehensive scope of the Spirit's knowledge. In the context of 1 Corinthians, it contrasts human wisdom with divine wisdom, emphasizing that the Spirit's understanding is not limited but encompasses all aspects of God's creation and purpose.

even the deep things of God
The "deep things" (βάθη, báthē) refer to the profound and unfathomable aspects of God's nature and plans. This phrase highlights the depth and richness of divine wisdom, which surpasses human understanding. In a historical and scriptural context, it reassures believers that through the Spirit, they have access to the profound mysteries of God, which are otherwise beyond human comprehension.

(10) But God hath revealed them unto us.--Here the emphatic word is "us." The latter part of 1Corinthians 2:8-9 are parenthetical, and the sense goes back to the beginning of 1Corinthians 2:8. "None of the princes of this age know these things, but God hath revealed them unto us His apostles and teachers" (Matthew 13:11; Matthew 16:17; 2Corinthians 12:1). This revelation of spiritual truth is made by the Holy Spirit of God to our spirits (Romans 8:16). The Apostle gives two proofs that the Apostles have this knowledge, and that the Holy Spirit is the source of it: 1. (1Corinthians 2:10-11), because the Holy Spirit alone is capable of imparting this knowledge; and 2. (1Corinthians 2:12-16), because the Holy Spirit has been given to us the Apostles. . . . Verse 10. - But God hath revealed them unto us. They are secret no longer, but are "mysteries which now it is given us to know" (Matthew 13:11). By his Spirit. The Spirit guides into all truth (John 13:16). In ch. 12:8-11 St. Paul attributes every gift of wisdom directly to him. Searcheth. "How unsearchable are his judgments!" (Romans 11:33). Yea, the deep things of God. This expression, "The depths of God," passed into the cant expression of the Gnostics, and it may be with reference to their misuse of it that St. John uses the phrase, "The depths of Satan" (Revelation 2:24). "Oh, the depth," etc.! (Romans 11:33).
