1 Corinthians 2:15
Compare all
13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the1 Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.  
14 aBut the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.  
15 But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.
16 For a“who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” bBut we have the mind of Christ.

1 Corinthians 2:15

But he that is spiritual judgeth all things - He who has the mind of Christ discerns and judges of all things spiritual: yet he himself is not discerned by the mere animal man. Some suppose that the word should be understood thus: He examines, scrutinizes, convinces, reproves, which it appears to mean in I Corinthians 14:24; and they read the verse thus: The spiritual man - the well-taught Christian, convinces, i.e. can easily convict, all men, ( , accusing), every animal man, of error and vice; yet he himself is convicted of no man; his mind is enlightened, and his life is holy; and therefore the animal man cannot convict him of sin. This is a good sense, but the first appears the most natural. See Pearce and Rosenmuller.
