1 Corinthians 2:14

Now the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him; and he cannot know them, because they are spiritually judged.

Revised Version 1895

In The King James Version

15But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, and he himself is judged of no man.
