1 Corinthians 2:13-16

Christian Standard Bible

¹³We also speak these things, not in words^(A) taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual things to spiritual people.^[a] ¹⁴But the person without the Spirit^[b] does not receive what comes from God’s Spirit, because it is foolishness to him; he is not able to understand it since it is evaluated^[c] spiritually. ¹⁵The spiritual person, however, can evaluate^[d] everything, and yet he himself cannot be evaluated by anyone. ¹⁶For

who has known the Lord’s mind,
that he may instruct him?^[e]^(B)

But we have the mind of Christ.^(C)
