1 Corinthians 2:12-16

English Standard Version

¹² Now ^(A)we have received not ^(B)the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. ¹³ And we impart this ^(C)in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, ^(D)interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual.^[a]

¹⁴ The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are ^(E)folly to him, and ^(F)he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. ¹⁵ The ^(G)spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. ^16 (H)“For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But ^(I)we have the mind of Christ.
