1 Corinthians 2:12-16

12NowG1161 we 1have not receivedG2983 the spiritG4151 of 2the 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, 3not in wordsG3056 taughtG1318 by humanG442 wisdomG4678, but in those taughtG1318 by the SpiritG4151, 4combiningG4793 spiritualG4152 thoughts with spiritualG4152 words.

14But 5a 6naturalG5591 personG444 7does not acceptG1209 the things of the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316, for they are 8foolishnessG3472 to him; and he cannotG1410G3756 understandG1097 them, becauseG3754 they are spirituallyG4153 discernedG350. 15But the one who is 9spiritualG4152 discernsG350 allG3956 thingsG3956, yetG1161 he himselfG846 is 10discernedG350 by noG3762 oneG3762. 16For 11whoG5101 has knownG1097 the mindG3563 of the LordG2962, that he will instructG4822 Him? But 12we haveG2192 the mindG3563 of ChristG5547.
