New American Standard Bible 1995

1 Corinthians 2:12-16

12Now we 1have received, not the spirit of 2the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God, 13which things we also speak, 3not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, 4combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.

14But 5a 6natural man 7does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are 8foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually 9appraised. 15But he who is 10spiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no one. 16For 11who has known the mind of the Lord, that he will instruct Him? But 12we have the mind of Christ.
