Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

¹¹ For who among people knows the things of the person except the spirit of the person within him? In this manner also, no one has known the things of God except the Spirit of God. ¹² And we did not receive the spirit of the world, but the Spirit from God, in order that we might know the things having been freely-given to us by God— ¹³ things which we also are speaking not in words taught by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, combining^[a] spiritual things with spiritual words. ¹⁴ But a natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God. For they are foolishness to him and he is not able to understand, because they are spiritually examined^[b]. ¹⁵ But the spiritual person examines all things, yet he himself is examined by no one^[c]. ¹⁶ For “who knew the mind of the Lord? Who will instruct Him?” [Isa 40:13], and we have the mind of Christ!
