1 Corinthians 2:11 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

Think about it — nobody really knows what's going on inside you except your own spirit, right? Same thing with God. The only way to actually understand God's heart and mind is through God's Spirit.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

You can't figure out God with your brain alone — you need his Spirit to show you who he really is.
