¹⁴But ^[a]a ^(A)natural person ^(B)does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are ^(C)foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. ¹⁵But the one who is ^(D)spiritual discerns all things, yet he himself is ^[b]discerned by no one. ¹⁶For ^(E)who has known the mind of the Lord, that he will instruct Him? But ^(F)we have the mind of Christ.
