1 Corinthians 2:14

natural man—literally, "a man of animal soul." As contrasted with the spiritual man, he is governed by the animal soul, which overbears his spirit, which latter is without the Spirit of God (Judges 1:19). So the animal (English Version, "natural") body, or body led by the lower animal nature (including both the mere human fallen reason and heart), is contrasted with the Spirit-quickened body (I Corinthians 15:44-46). The carnal man (the man led by bodily appetites, and also by a self-exalting spirit, estranged from the divine life) is closely akin; so too the "earthly." "Devilish," or "demon-like"; "led by an evil spirit," is the awful character of such a one, in its worst type (James 3:15).

receiveth not—though they are offered to him, and are "worthy of being received by all men" (I Timothy 1:15).

they are foolishness unto him—whereas he seeks "wisdom" (I Corinthians 1:22).

neither can he—Not only does he not, but he cannot know them, and therefore has no wish to "receive" them (Romans 8:7).
