1 Corinthians 2:11-14

11For whoG5101 among menG444 knowsG3609 the thoughts of a manG444 exceptG1508 the 1spiritG4151 of the manG444 which is in him? EvenG2532 soG3779 the thoughts of GodG2316 noG3762 oneG3762 knowsG1097 exceptG1508 the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316. 12NowG1161 we 2have receivedG2983, not the spiritG4151 of 3the worldG2889, but the SpiritG4151 whoG3588 is from GodG2316, soG2443 that we may knowG3609 the thingsG5483 freelyG5483 givenG5483 to us by GodG2316, 13whichG3739 things we alsoG2532 speakG2980, 4not in wordsG3056 taughtG1318 by humanG442 wisdomG4678, but in those taughtG1318 by the SpiritG4151, 5combiningG4793 spiritualG4152 thoughts with spiritualG4152 words.

14But 6a 7naturalG5591 manG444 8does not acceptG1209 the things of the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316, for they are 9foolishnessG3472 to him; and he cannotG1410G3756 understandG1097 them, becauseG3754 they are spirituallyG4153 10appraisedG350.
