1 Corinthians 2:11-14

11For whoG5101 among peopleG444 knowsG3609 the thoughts of a personG444 exceptG1508 the 1spiritG4151 of the personG444 that is in him? SoG3779 alsoG2532 the thoughts of GodG2316 noG3762 oneG3762 knowsG1097, exceptG1508 the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316. 12NowG1161 we 2have not receivedG2983 the spiritG4151 of 3the worldG2889, but the SpiritG4151 whoG3588 is from GodG2316, soG2443 thatG2443 we may knowG3609 the thingsG5483 freelyG5483 givenG5483 to us by GodG2316. 13We alsoG2532 speakG2980 theseG3739 things, 4not in wordsG3056 taughtG1318 by humanG442 wisdomG4678, but in those taughtG1318 by the SpiritG4151, 5combiningG4793 spiritualG4152 thoughts with spiritualG4152 words.

14But 6a 7naturalG5591 personG444 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 discernedG350.
