But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged by no man.
But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, and he himself is judged of no man.
But the spiritual man [the spiritually mature Christian] judges all things [questions, examines and applies what the Holy Spirit reveals], yet is himself judged by no one [the unbeliever cannot judge and understand the believer’s spiritual nature].
But the spiritual man tries all things [he examines, investigates, inquires into, questions, and discerns all things], yet is himself to be put on trial and judged by no one [he can read the meaning of everything, but no one can properly discern or appraise or get an insight into him].
But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
The spiritual person, however, can evaluate everything, and yet he himself cannot be evaluated by anyone.

But the person who has the Spirit can evaluate everything, while no one is in a position to evaluate him.

but the spiritual discerns all things, and *he* is discerned of no one.
But the spiritual person examines all things, yet he himself is examined by no one.
But the spiritual man judgeth all things; and he himself is judged of no man.
We who have the Spirit are able to make judgments about all these things. But anyone without the Spirit is not able to make proper judgments about us.
But we have God's Spirit with us. So we can understand the true value of all things. But other people cannot truly understand us, who belong to God.

Spiritual people evaluate everything but are subject to no one’s evaluation.
Whoever has the Spirit, however, is able to judge the value of everything, but no one is able to judge him.
The spiritual person, however, can evaluate everything, yet he himself cannot be evaluated by anyone.
But the spiritual person is able to judge all things. Yet no one can judge him. The Scripture says:
The spiritual person evaluates everything but is subject to no one else’s evaluation.
But the unspiritual man simply cannot accept the matters which the Spirit deals with—they just don’t make sense to him, for, after all, you must be spiritual to see spiritual things. The spiritual man, on the other hand, has an insight into the meaning of everything, though his insight may baffle the man of the world. This is because the former is sharing in God’s wisdom, and ‘Who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him?’ Incredible as it may sound, we who are spiritual have the very thoughts of Christ!
But he that is spiritual discerns all things, yet he is discerned by no one.

But the spiritual man has insight into everything, and that bothers and baffles the man of the world, who can’t understand him at all.
The unspiritual self, just as it is by nature, can’t receive the gifts of God’s Spirit. There’s no capacity for them. They seem like so much silliness. Spirit can be known only by spirit—God’s Spirit and our spirits in open communion. Spiritually alive, we have access to everything God’s Spirit is doing, and can’t be judged by unspiritual critics. Isaiah’s question, “Is there anyone around who knows God’s Spirit, anyone who knows what he is doing?” has been answered: Christ knows, and we have Christ’s Spirit. * * *
But he who is spiritual judges all things. Yet he himself is not judged by anyone.

But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.
The full-grown Christian understands all things, and yet he is not understood.
