1 Corinthians 2:16
_ _ For — proof of 1 Corinthians 2:15, that the spiritual man “is judged of no man.” In order to judge the spiritual man, the ordinary man must “know the mind of the Lord.” But “who of ordinary men knows” that?
_ _ that he may instruct him — that is, so as to be able to set Him right as His counselor (quoted from Isaiah 40:13, Isaiah 40:14). So the Septuagint translates the Greek verb, which means to “prove,” in Acts 9:22. Natural men who judge spiritual men, living according to the mind of God (“We have the mind of Christ”), are virtually wishing to instruct God, and bring Him to another mind, as counselors setting to right their king.
_ _ we have the mind of Christ — in our degree of capability to apprehend it. Isaiah 40:13, Isaiah 40:14 refers to Jehovah: therefore, as it is applied here to Christ, He is Jehovah. |
1 Corinthians 2:16
Who — What natural man. We — Spiritual men; apostles in particular. Have — Know, understand. The mind of Christ — Concerning the whole plan of gospel salvation. Isaiah 40:13 |
1 Corinthians 2:16
(16) For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may (t) instruct him? But we have (u) the mind of Christ.
(16) A reason from the former saying: for he is called spiritual, who has learned that by the power of the Spirit, which Christ has taught us. Now if that which we have learned from that Master could be reproved by any man, he must be wiser than God: whereupon it follows that they are not only foolish, but also wicked, who think that they can devise something that is either more perfect, or that they can teach the wisdom of God a better way than those knew or taught who were undoubtedly endued with God's Spirit.
(t) Lay his head to his, and teach him what he should do.
(u) We are endued with the Spirit of Christ, who opens to us those secrets which by all other means are unsearchable, and also any truth at all. |
- who:
Job 15:8 Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?

Jeremiah 23:18 For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard [it]?

John 16:13-16 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. ... A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.
John 17:6-8 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. ...
