1 Corinthians 2:10-15

10 1For to us God revealed them 2through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the 3depths of God.
11 For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the 4spirit of the man which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God.
12 Now we 5have received, not the spirit of 6the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God,
13 which things we also speak, 7not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.
14 But a 8natural man 9does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are 10foolishness to him; and he cannot * understand them, because they are spiritually appraised.
15 But he who is 11spiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no one.
