14 But {the} natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him; and he cannot know {them} because they are spiritually discerned;

15 but the spiritual discerns all things, and *he* is discerned of no one.

16 For who has known the mind of {the} Lord, who shall instruct him? But *we* have the mind of Christ.

14 Na e kore te tangata i te ngakau maori e tango i nga mea o te Wairua o te Atua: ki a ia he mea kuware era; a e kore ia e ahei te matau, he mea ma te Wairua ka kitea ai.

15 Otiia ki te mea kei tetahi te Wairua, ka kitea e ia nga mea katoa, e kore ano ia e kitea e tetahi.

16 Ko wai hoki te matau ana ki te hinengaro o te Ariki, e whakaako ai ia i a ia? Kei a tatou ia te hinengaro o te Karaiti.
