1 Corinthians 2:7-10:
“What no eye has seen,
what no ear has heard,
and what no human mind has conceived” —
the things God has prepared for those who love him—
10 these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit.
The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
Note the difference:
- Paul quotes Isaiah 64. At any case, the verse is not attributed to Jesus.
- Thomas attributed the verse to Jesus, or to a person later identified as Jesus.
If Jesus had actually said this statement, how bizarre would it be that Paul came up with the same statement independently? And it would make even less sense that Thomas was written prior to Paul and that Paul had read Thomas and was actually quoting here from Thomas, because Paul doesn't attribute the words to Jesus, nor does Paul ever attribute any words to Jesus (except the Eucharist ritual). Clearly Paul had no knowledge of sayings of Jesus, because in all of his letters, he doesn't attribute sayings or teachings to Jesus. So this, to me, is a very revealing passage in the Gospel of Thomas. Paul has to have said this first, and Thomas is copying from Paul while misattributing the saying to Jesus.
