^2:10 These are the very things that God has revealed to us through the Spirit, for the Spirit reaches the depths of everything, even the depths of God.

^2:11 After all, the depths of a man can only be known by his own spirit, not by any other man, and in the same way the depths of God can only be known by the Spirit of God.

^2:16 As scripture says: Who can know the mind of the Lord, so who can teach him ?[*c] But we are those who have the mind of Christ.

^4:34 ‘Ha! What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are: the Holy One of God.’

^4:37 And reports of him went all through the surrounding countryside.
