1 Corinthians 2:12

And we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we may know the things that are freely given to us by God:

Henry Tompkins Anderson’s 1864 New Testament

In The King James Version

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

In Context

11For what man knows the things of man, but the spirit of man which is in him? Even so, the things of God no one knows, but the Spirit of God.

13which things also we speak, not in words taught by man’s wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.
