1 Corinthians 2:14

But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness to him: neither can he understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

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

15He who is spiritual judges the worth of all things, yet he himself is judged by no man.
