13 We also speak these things, not in words(A) taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual things to spiritual people.(a) 14 But the unbeliever(b) does not welcome what comes from God’s Spirit, because it is foolishness to him; he is not able to understand it since it is evaluated(c) spiritually. 15 The spiritual person, however, can evaluate(d) everything, yet he himself cannot be evaluated(e) by anyone. 16 For

who has known the Lord’s mind,
that he may instruct Him?(B)(f)


But we have the mind of Christ.(C)
