1 Corinthians 2:14-16
Legacy Standard Bible
14 But [a]a (A)natural man (B)does not accept the depths of the Spirit of God, for they are (C)foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because (D)they are spiritually examined. 15 But he who is (E)spiritual examines all things, yet he himself is examined by no one. 16 For (F)who has known the mind of the [b]Lord, that he will direct Him? But (G)we have the mind of Christ.

1 Corinthians 2:14-16
New Living Translation
14 But people who aren’t spiritual[a] can’t receive these truths from God’s Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them and they can’t understand it, for only those who are spiritual can understand what the Spirit means. 15 Those who are spiritual can evaluate all things, but they themselves cannot be evaluated by others. 16 For,
“Who can know the Lord’s thoughts?
Who knows enough to teach him?”[b]
But we understand these things, for we have the mind of Christ.
