1 Corinthians 2:14

But the intellectual man receives not the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness unto him; and he is not able to know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

1902 William Baxter Godbey NT

In The King James Version

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.

In Context

15But the spiritual man discerns all things, and is himself discerned by no one.
