属血气的人与属灵的人

¹⁴然而，属血气的人不领会　神圣灵的事，反倒以为愚拙，并且不能知道，因为这些事惟有属灵的人才能看透。The natural man does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. For they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

¹⁵属灵的人能看透万事，却没有一人能看透了他。The spiritual man judges all things, but he himself is not subject to anyone’s judgment.

¹⁶谁曾知道主的心去教导他呢？但我们是有基督的心了。“For who has known the mind of the Lord, so as to instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
