These are the things
Paul speaks of the truths about Jesus and the cross. If 1 Corinthians 2:9 is treated as an incomplete sentence, "these are the things."
For who knows a person's thoughts except the spirit of the person in him?
Paul uses this question to emphasize that no one knows what a person is thinking except the person himself. AT: "No one knows what a person is thinking except that person's spirit" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
spirit of the person
This refers to a person's inner being, his own spiritual nature.
no one knows the deep things of God except the Spirit of God
This can be stated in positive form. AT: "only the Spirit of God knows the deep things of God" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublenegatives)
