1 Corinthians 2:12-15

12Now we 1have not received 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. 13We also speak these things, 3not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, 4combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.

14But 5a 6natural person 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 discerned. 15But the one who is 9spiritual discerns all things, yet he himself is 10discerned by no one.
