Enriched


1 Corinthians 1:5 ESV
5 that in every way you were enriched in him in all speech and all knowledge—

The word translated as "speech" implies more than just the sound that leaves our lips.  It is the sounding of intelligence and is coherent. A word is preceded by a thought and is spoken by the will of the one in whom the thought is formed.
John calls Jesus the Word. Jesus said He and the Father were one. The word spoken reveals the mind of the speaker. The same word that John said was with God and was God is in us.
It is in His image we are made, and Jesus was the perfect image of the Father.
The presence of the Holy Spirit gives us access to mind of the Father and Son. We are enriched as we are able to receive and mature to the full stature of Christ. We are immediately blessed by His love and salvation. 

λόγος * logos * log'-os * From G3004; something said (including the thought); by implication a topic (subject of discourse), also reasoning (the mental faculty) or motive; by extension a computation
