1 Corinthians 2:14

---

← 1 Corinthians 2:13	1 Corinthians 2:14 (KJV)	1 Corinthians 2:15 →
Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.	But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned.	But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
