1 Corinthians 2:14

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

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.

World English Bible (WEB)

Now the natural man doesn’t receive the things of God’s Spirit, for they are foolishness to him, and he can’t know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Strong's King James

But{G1161} the natural{G5591} man{G444} receiveth{G1209}{(G5736)} not{G3756} the things{G3588} of the Spirit{G4151} of God{G2316}: for{G1063} they are{G2076}{(G5748)} foolishness{G3472} unto him{G846}: neither{G2532}{G3756} can{G1410}{(G5736)} he know{G1097}{(G5629)} them, because{G3754} they are spiritually{G4153} discerned{G350}{(G5743)}.

The F.O.G *

Young's Literal Translation

and the natural man doth not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for to him they are foolishness, and he is not able to know them, because spiritually they are discerned;
