Revealed by the Spirit.
Paul continues to explore the topic with a comparison: no one truly knows another person deeply unless that person chooses to reveal their own inner life. A person’s secret intimacy is known only to themselves (cf. Prov 14:10; 20:27), and only they can communicate it. For this to happen, there must be harmony between the person who opens their inner doors and the one invited in to share this human mystery. Similarly, Paul states, only the Spirit knows God’s inner life, and it is up to Him to reveal and unfold it. As an intermediary, Paul must promptly communicate what he has received through revelation. Paul repeatedly emphasizes the vital role of the Spirit of Christ in revealing God’s mystery.
