For who knows a person's thoughts except the spirit of that person which is in him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God — the analogy argues: just as a person's own spirit knows that person's thoughts (and no external observer can), so only God's Spirit knows God's thoughts. If you want access to another's deepest mind, you need intimacy, not observation. The Corinthians have the Spirit of God indwelling; they have unprecedented access to God's mind.
