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.

ગુજરાતીકરિંથીઓને પહેલો પત્ર ૨:૧૪
સાંસારિક માણસ ઈશ્વરના આત્માની વાતોનો સ્વીકાર કરતું નથી; કેમ કે તે વાતો તેને મૂર્ખતા જેવી લાગે છે; અને તે આત્મિક રીતે સમજાય છે, તેથી તે તેમને સમજી શકતું નથી.
हिन्दी1 कुरिन्थियों २:१४
परन्तु शारीरिक मनुष्य परमेश्वर के आत्मा की बातें ग्रहण नहीं करता, क्योंकि वे उसकी दृष्टि में मूर्खता की बातें हैं, और न वह उन्हें जान सकता है क्योंकि उनकी जाँच आत्मिक रीति से होती है।

In context

12But we received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that were freely given to us by God.

13We also speak these things, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.

14Now 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.

15But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is to be judged by no one.

16“For who has known the mind of the Lord that he should instruct him?” But we have Christ’s mind.
