In verse ten, Paul mentions the “deep things of God”. The “deep things of God” refers to God’s unfathomable nature and his wonderful plan and to the promise of salvation. The knowledge of salvation cannot be grasped by even the wisest people in the world unless they accept God message. In verse thirteen, Paul explains that everyone wants to be wise. Paul taught the Corinthians that true wisdom and discernment requires the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Spiritual discernment enables us to draw conclusions based on God’s perspective. It allows us to make tough decisions in critical scenarios, distinguish right and wrong, and identify and expose false teachers.

1 Corinthians 2:10-13
10 these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit.
The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. 11 For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. 13 This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words.[a]
