1 Corinthians 2:14 in Context — 1 Corinthians 2
12 Nós, porém, não recebemos o espírito do mundo, mas sim, o Espírito que provém de Deus; para que saibamos as coisas que por Deus nos são dadas;
13 as quais também falamos, não com palavras que a sabedoria ensina, mas com as que o Espírito Santo ensina, interpretando [coisas] espirituais por [meios] espirituais.
14 Mas o ser humano natural não compreende as coisas que são do Espírito de Deus, porque lhe são loucura; e não as pode entender, porque se compreendem espiritualmente.
15 Porém quem é espiritual compreende todas as coisas, mas não é compreendido por ninguém.
16 Pois quem conheceu a mente do Senhor, para que o possa instruir? Mas nós temos a mente de Cristo.
