Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 11. - The things of God none knoweth. Some manuscripts have not the same word (οῖδεν) as that rendered "knoweth" in the earlier clause, but "hath learnt" (ἔγνωκεν); comp. John 21:17; 2 Corinthians 5:16. All that is meant is that our knowledge of God must always be relative, not absolute. It is not possible to measure the arm of God with the finger of man.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(11) What man . . .--Better, Who of men knoweth the things of a man? but the spirit of the man which is in him knoweth them.The things of God knoweth no man.--These words cannot be taken as an assertion that man cannot have any knowledge of the things of God; but the Apostle urges that man, as man, cannot know the things of God, but that his knowledge of these things is in virtue of his having the Spirit of God dwelling in him.
