1 Corinthians 1:1-4:21

However, as it is written:

     “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard,
     and what no human mind has conceived”

the things God has prepared for those who love him—these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. (1 Corinthians 2:9-10)

In writing to Christians at Corinth Paul the Apostle quotes the Bible's book of Isaiah, chapter 64, verse 4. This quote underlines the thought that the things of God cannot be perceived by human eyesight nor by human hearing. Further, these things are unimaginable.

What Paul the Apostle knows about the things of God he has received by way of God's Spirit. The Spirit penetrates to the deepest things of God and uncovers the things that God has prepared for us, lovers of God.
