The post of reference for this question is EdB's #146900. We have been discussing 1 Cor 2:10 with the expectation of it having four words of Deity in it. He has suggested, and I think with merit, this reading of the verse. "For to us God revealed them through His Spirit; for the *spirit searches all things, even the depths of God." We welcome comments. From the heart, Ray |

Hi Ray, Long time no talk. 1Co 2:10 (NASB) "For to us(redeemed) God revealed them (the things listed in verse 9, unheard of things, unseen things, unheart entered things, all that God has prepared) through the Spirit(1); for the Spirit(2) searches all things, even the depths of God. The - "for the Spirit(2) searches all things, even the depths of God." - is a phrase, so Spirit(1) and Spirit(2) are both related to the God that revealed them. Therefore both Divine. All parentheses are mine. what do you think? terrib |

Hi terrib, The first clause of 1 Cor 2:10 speaks of the things revealed, and the second talks of the things searched. So I would not say that they should both be necessarily capitalized. I again reference #146900 and the discussion there. The thoughts of God are known by the Spirit of God; He does not have to search for them. However, our spirit searches all things; for our spirit wants to know the things that are freely given to us by God. When we know those things, having been taught by the Holy Spirit, we have wisdom from God. We have received the spirit and words of the hidden wisdom which God predestined. That is why I would interpret verse 12 with a lower case "spirit" also. 1 Cor 2:12, "Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the *spirit which is from God, that we might know the things freely given to us by God." From the heart, Ray |

Hi Ray, If God has revealed them through the Spirit and we have the Spirit in us, why are we searching for them. They have already been revealed. I do see your point also. Jesus also used this Isa 64:4 reference. Mat 13:14-15 "And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them." I have heard many TV preachers use this Isaiah verse for describing future heavenly events, which in a way could be true, but all the time it really has to do with spiritual awakening. Thanks for the reply Ray, Keep praying for this forum, terrib |

Hi terrib, 1 Corinthians 2:10 has been discussed by believers through the ages. The varied manuscripts are proof of this to my mind. The NU text does not include the word "His", thus the NASB is translated "revealed them through the Spirit" rather than the NKJ "His Spirit". The idea of desiring one of the words to be deleted, suggests to me that one of the words of Spirit should be lower case. I believe that there should be four words of Deity for the verse. I see the choices as being: "For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God." (NASB) "For to us God revealed them through His Spirit; for the *spirit searches all things, even the depths of God." (NKJ and a lower case spirit for the second clause) "For to us God revealed them through His spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God." Each of those choices have four words of Deity in them. 1 Corinthians 2:4, "And my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit, and of power, 5 so that your faith should not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God."
