1 Corinthians 2:12-14
Legacy Standard Bible
12 Now we (A)have received, not the spirit of (B)the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the depths graciously given to us by God, 13 of which depths we also speak, (C)not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, [a]combining spiritual depths with spiritual words.
14 But [b]a (D)natural man (E)does not accept the depths of the Spirit of God, for they are (F)foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because (G)they are spiritually examined.

1 Corinthians 2:12-14
New International Version
12 What we have received is not the spirit(A) of the world,(B) but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. 13 This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom(C) but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words.[a] 14 The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God(D) but considers them foolishness,(E) and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.
