"And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual."
Spiritual truths cannot be conveyed with human wisdom. Not even a person who understands the spiritual truths can convince someone of them using human wisdom. When we share spiritual truths. only those who are taught by the Spirit will be able to understand.
If I want someone to understand a spiritual truth, I cannot rely on my own intellect or powers of persuasion. I need to pray that the Spirit opens their eyes to the truth of God's word. To rely on my own wisdom (or even wisdom gleaned from leadership seminars) is futile.
