1 Corinthians 2:12
_ _ we ... received, not ... spirit of ... world — the personal evil “spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience” (Ephesians 2:2). This spirit is natural in the unregenerate, and needs not to be received.
_ _ Spirit which is of God — that is, which comes from God. We have received it only by the gift of God, whose Spirit it is, whereas our own spirit is the spirit that is in us men (1 Corinthians 2:11).

Now we have received, not the (m) spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; (11) that we might (n) know the things that are freely given to us of God.

(11) That which he spoke generally, he confines now to those things which God has opened to us of our salvation in Christ: so that no man should separate the Spirit from the preaching of the word and Christ: or should think that those fanciful men are governed by the Spirit of God, who wandering besides the word, thrust upon us their vain imaginations for the secrets of God.
(n) This word "know" is taken here in its proper sense for true knowledge, which the Spirit of God works in us. |
