For who hath known the mind of the Lord (Tis gar egnō noun Kuriou̱). Quotation from Isa 40:13.

That he should instruct him (hos sunbibasei auton). This use of hos (relative who) is almost consecutive (result). The pneumatikos man is superior to others who attempt even to instruct God himself. See note on Act 9:22 and note on Act 16:10 for sunbibazō, to make go together.

But we have the mind of Christ (hēmeis de noun Christou echomen). As he has already shown (1Co 2:6-13). Thus with the mind (nous. Cf. Phi 2:5; Rom 8:9, Rom 8:27). Hence Paul and all pneumatikoi men are superior to those who try to shake their faith in Christ, the mystery of God. Paul can say, “I know him whom I have believed.” “I believe; therefore I have spoken.”
