These are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God — 'revealed to us' (apekalypsen) is gospel unveiling. The Spirit (pneuma) 'searches all things' (panta erauna) and knows 'the deep things' (ta bathē, from which 'depths' derives). The Spirit's omniscience—knowing even God's deepest counsels—makes the Spirit the only adequate revealer of God's hidden wisdom. The Corinthians possess this Spirit; they should trust its testimony over their own sophistic reasoning.
