To the same person.
You received the Spirit, which searches even the depths of God [1 Corinthians 2:10], not that you might comprehend the nature of God, as Eunomius the madman [Eunomius of Cyzicus, leader of the radical "Anomoean" Arians, who claimed the divine essence could be known] says, but that you might glorify the Lord deeply and wisely. For the Apostle says, "I do not yet reckon that I have laid hold of it, but I press on, in the hope that I may indeed lay hold" [Philippians 3:13, 12].
