• 1 Corinthians 2:10-16
  But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. For "who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?" But we have the mind of Christ.

• Proverbs 2:1-7
  My son, if you receive my words,
  And treasure my commands within you,
  So that you incline your ear to wisdom,
  And apply your heart to understanding;
  Yes, if you cry out for discernment,
  And lift up your voice for understanding,
  If you seek her as silver,
  And search for her as for hidden treasures;
  Then you will understand the fear of the LORD,
  And find the knowledge of God.
  For the LORD gives wisdom;
  From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;
  He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
  He is a shield to those who walk uprightly;

• 1 Corinthians 11:27-29
  Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

  For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food.

But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
