For who knows all about a person’s thoughts? Only that person’s spirit knows his own thoughts.
-or-
Consider this: the only one who can know what is in someone’s heart is that person himself.
2:11b So too, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.
In the same way, the only one who knows the thoughts/plans in God’s heart is God’s Spirit.
-or-
It is the same ⌊with/concerning God⌋. No one understands/knows about God’s thoughts except God’s Spirit.
