1 Corinthians 2:9-10
What is written? (ESV)
But, as it is written, ‘What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him—’ these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.
What does it say?
What God has prepared for those who love Him is beyond what eyes have seen, ears have heard, or human hearts have imagined. God has revealed these things to us through the Spirit, who searches everything, including God's depths.
What is its immediate context?
Paul is writing to the church in Corinth dealing with several serious issues throughout the letter, but here dealing with divisions among them and reminding them of the uniting nature of the Gospel. In this chapter, and really including the first four chapters of this letter, he emphasizes the need for them to rely upon the word of God that he had shared with them as the foundation to solve these issues. Paul quotes from Isaiah 64:4.
