SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:10
Pero Dios nos lo revel a nosotros por su Espíritu; porque el Espíritu todo lo escudria, aun lo profundo de Dios.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 2:10
Verse 10. But God hath revealed them unto us] A manifest proof that the apostle speaks here of the glories of the Gospel, and not of the glories of the future world. For the Spirit searcheth all things] This is the Spirit of God, which spoke by the prophets, and has now given to the apostles the fullness of that heavenly truth, of which He gave to the former only the outlines.
Yea, the deep things of God.] It is only the Spirit of God which can reveal the counsels of God: these are the purposes which have existed in His infinite wisdom and goodness from eternity; and particularly what refers to creation, providence, redemption, and eternal glory, as far as men and angels are concerned in these purposes. The apostles were so fully convinced that the scheme of redemption proclaimed by the Gospel was Divine, that they boldly asserted that these things infinitely surpassed the wisdom and comprehension of man. God was now in a certain way become manifest; many attributes of his, which to the heathen world would have for ever lain in obscurity, (for the world by wisdom knew not God,) were now not only brought to light as existing in him, but illustrated by the gracious displays which He had made of himself. It was the Spirit of God alone that could reveal these things; and it was the energy of that Spirit alone that could bring them all into effect-stamp and seal them as attributes and works of God for ever. The apostles were as truly conscious of their own inspiration as they were that they had consciousness at all; and what they spoke, they spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 10. But God hath revealed them unto us , etc.] Should it be said, that since this wisdom is so hidden and mysterious, the doctrines of the Gospel are so unknown, so much out of the sight and understanding of men, how come any to be acquainted with them? The answer is ready, God has made a revelation of them, not only in his word, which is common to men, nor only to his ministers, but to private Christians and believers, by his Spirit ; which designs not the external revelation made in the Scriptures, though that also is by the Spirit; but the internal revelation and application of the truths of the Gospel to the souls of men, which is sometimes ascribed to the Father of Christ. ( Matthew 16:17) sometimes to Christ himself, ( Galatians 1:12) and sometimes to the Spirit of Christ, ( Ephesians 1:17) and who guides into all truth, ( John 16:13), and here to the Father by the Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God ; which does not suppose any ignorance of these things in the Spirit, antecedent to his searching of them; but his complete and perfect knowledge of them; even as Gods searching of the hearts of men expresses his omniscience, and through knowledge of all that is in them: the all things the Spirit searches into, and has a perfect knowledge of, do not design in the utmost extent everything which comes within the compass of his infinite understanding; but every thing that is in, or belongs to the Gospel of Christ, even the more mysterious and sublime, as well as the more plain and easy doctrines: for the deep things of God intend not the perfections of his nature, which are past finding out unto perfection by men; nor the depths of his wise and righteous providence; but the mysterious doctrines of the Gospel, the fellowship of the mystery which was hid in God, his wise counsels of old concerning mans salvation, the scheme of things drawn in his eternal mind, and revealed in the word.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-16 - God has revealed true wisdom to us by his Spirit. Here is a proof of the Divine authority of the Holy Scriptures, 2Pe 1:21. In proof of the Divinity of the Holy Ghost, observe, that he knows all things, and he searches all things, even the deep things of God. No one can know the things of God, but his Holy Spirit, who is one with the Father and the Son, and who makes known Divine mysteries to his church. This is mos clear testimony, both to the real Godhead and the distinct person of the Holy Spirit. The apostles were not guided by worldly principles They had the revelation of these things from the Spirit of God, and the saving impression of them from the same Spirit. These things the declared in plain, simple language, taught by the Holy Spirit, totall different from the affected oratory or enticing words of man's wisdom The natural man, the wise man of the world, receives not the things of the Spirit of God. The pride of carnal reasoning is really as muc opposed to spirituality, as the basest sensuality. The sanctified min discerns the real beauties of holiness, but the power of discerning an judging about common and natural things is not lost. But the carnal ma is a stranger to the principles, and pleasures, and actings of the Divine life. The spiritual man only, is the person to whom God give the knowledge of his will. How little have any known of the mind of God by natural power! And the apostles were enabled by his Spirit to make known his mind. In the Holy Scriptures, the mind of Christ, and the mind of God in Christ, are fully made known to us. It is the grea privilege of Christians, that they have the mind of Christ revealed to them by his Spirit. They experience his sanctifying power in their hearts, and bring forth good fruits in their lives __________________________________________________________________

Vincent's NT Word Studies
10. Searcheth (ereuna). See on John v. 39. Not, searcheth in order to discover; but of the ever active, accurate, careful sounding of the depths of God by the Spirit.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
2:10 {But unto us God revealed them} (hemin gar apekaluyen ho qeos). So with gar B 37 Sah Cop read instead of de of Aleph A C D. "de is superficially easier; gar intrinsically better" (Findlay). Paul explains why this is no longer hidden, "for God revealed unto us" the wonders of grace pictured in verse #9. We do not have to wait for heaven to see them. Hence we can utter those things hidden from the eye, the ear, the heart of man. this revelation (apekaluyen, first aorist active indicative) took place, at "the entry of the Gospel into the world," not "when we were admitted into the Church, when we were baptized" as Lightfoot interprets it. {Through the Spirit} (dia tou pneumatos). The Holy Spirit is the agent of this definite revelation of grace, a revelation with a definite beginning or advent (constative aorist), an unveiling by the Spirit where "human ability and research would not have sufficed" (Robertson and Plummer), "according to the revelation of the mystery" (#Ro 16:25), "the revelation given to Christians as an event that began a new epoch in the world's history" (Edwards). {Searcheth all things} (panta eraunai). this is the usual form from A.D. 1 on rather than the old ereunaw. The word occurs (Moulton and Milligan's _Vocabulary_) for a professional searcher's report and eraunetai, searchers for customs officials. "The Spirit is the organ of understanding between man and God" (Findlay). So in #Ro 8:27 we have this very verb eraunaw again of God's searching our hearts. The Holy Spirit not merely investigates us, but he searches "even the deep things of God" (kai ta baqe tou qeou). _Profunda Dei_ (Vulgate). Cf. "the deep things of Satan" (#Re 2:24) and Paul's language in #Ro 11:33 "Oh the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God." Paul's point is simply that the Holy Spirit fully comprehends the depth of God's nature and his plans of grace and so is fully competent to make the revelation here claimed.
