  It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
53 CE – 55 CE, Paul the Apostle, First Epistle to the Corinthians 2:13:
ἃ καὶ λαλοῦμεν, οὐκ ἐν διδακτοῖς ἀνθρωπίνης σοφίας λόγοις, ἀλλ’ ἐν διδακτοῖς Πνεύματος Ἁγίου, πνευματικοῖς πνευματικὰ συγκρίνοντες.
hà kaì laloûmen, ouk en didaktoîs anthrōpínēs sophías lógois, all’ en didaktoîs Pneúmatos Hagíou, pneumatikoîs pneumatikà sunkrínontes.
- Translation by KJV
  Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
