'For who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?' But we have the mind of Christ — the rhetorical question from Isaiah 40:13 is answered: no one knows the Lord's mind to instruct him. Yet Paul makes the astonishing claim: believers 'have the mind of Christ' (noun Christou). This is not individual possession but corporate participation: through the Spirit, the church shares Christ's perspective, his values, his way of seeing reality. The Corinthians' divisions show they have not yet grasped this shared mind.
