1 Corinthians 2:14-3:3

English Standard Version

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

Divisions in the Church

3 But I, brothers,^[a] could not address you as ^(F)spiritual people, but as ^(G)people of the flesh, as ^(H)infants in Christ. ²^(I)I fed you with milk, not solid food, for ^(J)you were not ready for it. And even now you are not yet ready, ³for you are still of the flesh. For while there is ^(K)jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human way?
