The person without the Spirit doesn’t accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. These things are foolish to them. They can’t understand them. In fact, such things can’t be understood without the Spirit’s help.

然而，属血气的人不领会神圣灵的事，反倒以为愚拙，并且不能知道，因为这些事惟有属灵的人才能看透。

然而，属血气的人不接受上帝的灵的事，他反倒以这为愚拙，并且他不能了解，因为这些事惟有属灵的人才能领悟。

然而，属血气的人不接受从上帝来的圣灵的教导，认为愚不可及，无法明白，因为只有属灵的人才能参透。

然而属血气的人不接受神的灵的事，因为他以为是愚笨的；而且他也不能够明白，因为这些事，要有属灵的眼光才能领悟。

不过一个属血气的人不接受属神的灵的这些事，因为对他来说，这些是愚拙的；他也不能明白，因为这些事要用属灵的方式才能洞察。

夫屬血氣者、不納上帝聖神之事、以之為愚、且不能識、以其事乃由心靈而擬也、

然未化之人、不受上帝聖神之道、而視為不智、且亦不能識、必聖神助之、乃能忖度焉、

未感於神者、原文作屬血氣者不受天主之神之事、因以之為愚、且不能識、蓋此事必以神而忖度、

若夫氣質未化之人、則不能領悟聖神之眾妙、且以為愚妄焉。是無他、聖神之妙理、必須具有超性之靈光、始能發其底蘊、固非氣質未化之人所得而領悟也

The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.

The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.

But people who aren’t spiritual can’t receive these truths from God’s Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them and they can’t understand it, for only those who are spiritual can understand what the Spirit means.

But the person without the Spirit does not receive what comes from God’s Spirit, because it is foolishness to him; he is not able to understand it since it is evaluated spiritually.

But a natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

But 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.

Now the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him; and he cannot know them, because they are spiritually judged.

But the unbeliever does not welcome what comes from God’s Spirit, because it is foolishness to him; he is not able to understand it since it is evaluated spiritually.

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know[ them], because they are spiritually discerned.

The message of the cross seems foolish to those who are lost and dying. But it is God’s power to us who are being saved.

He replied,“ Because you have been given the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven. It has not been given to outsiders.Everyone who has this kind of knowledge will be given more knowledge. In fact, they will have very much. If anyone doesn’t have this kind of knowledge, even what little they have will be taken away from them.Here is why I use stories when I speak to the people. I say,“ They look, but they don’t really see. They listen, but they don’t really hear or understand.In them the words of the prophet Isaiah come true. He said,“‘ You will hear but never understand. You will see but never know what you are seeing.The hearts of these people have become stubborn. They can barely hear with their ears. They have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes. They might hear with their ears. They might understand with their hearts. They might turn to the Lord, and then he would heal them.’( Isaiah 6:9, 10)But blessed are your eyes because they see. And blessed are your ears because they hear.What I’m about to tell you is true. Many prophets and godly people wanted to see what you see. But they didn’t see it. They wanted to hear what you hear. But they didn’t hear it.

So don’t live under the control of sin. If you do, you will think about what sin wants. Live under the control of the Holy Spirit. If you do, you will think about what the Spirit wants.The thoughts of a person ruled by sin bring death. But the mind ruled by the Spirit brings life and peace.The mind ruled by the power of sin is at war with God. It does not obey God’s law. It can’t.Those who are under the power of sin can’t please God.

The god of this world has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They can’t see the light of the good news that makes Christ’s glory clear. Christ is the likeness of God.The message we preach is not about ourselves. Our message is about Jesus Christ. We say that he is Lord. And we say that we serve you because of Jesus.God said,“ Let light shine out of darkness.”( Genesis 1:3) He made his light shine in our hearts. His light gives us the light to know God’s glory. His glory is shown in the face of Christ.

What is spiritual did not come first. What is earthly came first. What is spiritual came after that.

They are the people who separate you from one another. They do only what comes naturally. They are not led by the Holy Spirit.

Wisdom like this doesn’t come down from heaven. It belongs to the earth. It doesn’t come from the Holy Spirit. It comes from the devil.

“ No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me brings them. Then I will raise them up on the last day.It is written in the Prophets,‘ God will teach all of them.’( Isaiah 54:13) Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from him comes to me.

It is planted as an earthly body. But it is raised as a spiritual body. Just as there is an earthly body, there is also a spiritual body.

Those who make fun of others look for wisdom and don’t find it. But knowledge comes easily to those who understand what is right.

But you do not believe, because you are not my sheep.My sheep listen to my voice. I know them, and they follow me.

What we have received is not the spirit of the world. We have received the Spirit who is from God. The Spirit helps us understand what God has freely given us.

Jesus had performed so many signs in front of them. But they still would not believe in him.

You accept praise from one another. But you do not seek the praise that comes from the only God. So how can you believe?

Jesus turned and said to Peter,“ Get behind me, Satan! You are standing in my way. You do not have in mind the things God cares about. Instead, you only have in mind the things humans care about.”

When he comes, he will prove that the world’s people are guilty. He will prove their guilt concerning sin and godliness and judgment.The world is guilty as far as sin is concerned. That’s because people do not believe in me.The world is guilty as far as godliness is concerned. That’s because I am going to the Father, where you can’t see me anymore.The world is guilty as far as judgment is concerned. That’s because the devil, the prince of this world, has already been judged.“ I have much more to say to you. It is more than you can handle right now.But when the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own. He will speak only what he hears. And he will tell you what is still going to happen.He will bring me glory. That’s because what he receives from me he will show to you.Everything that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said what the Holy Spirit receives from me he will show to you.”

Jesus replied,“ What I’m about to tell you is true. No one can see God’s kingdom unless they are born again.”“ How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked.“ They can’t go back inside their mother! They can’t be born a second time!”Jesus answered,“ What I’m about to tell you is true. No one can enter God’s kingdom unless they are born with water and the Holy Spirit.People give birth to people. But the Spirit gives birth to spirit.

But the Father will send the Friend in my name to help you. The Friend is the Holy Spirit. He will teach you all things. He will remind you of everything I have said to you.

One of the women listening was from the city of Thyatira. Her name was Lydia, and her business was selling purple cloth. She was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to accept Paul’s message.

What I’m about to tell you is true. Whoever obeys my word will never die.”Then they cried out,“ Now we know you are controlled by a demon! Abraham died. So did the prophets. But you say that whoever obeys your word will never die.

Why aren’t my words clear to you? Because you can’t really hear what I say.

“ I will send the Friend to you from the Father. He is the Spirit of truth, who comes out from the Father. When the Friend comes to help you, he will be a witness about me.

But we preach about Christ and his death on the cross. That is very hard for Jews to accept. And everyone else thinks it’s foolish.

But this is about your own law. It is a question of words and names. Settle the matter yourselves. I will not be a judge of such things.”

They heard Paul talk about the dead being raised. Some of them made fun of this idea. But others said,“ We want to hear you speak about this again.”

While Paul was still presenting his case, Festus interrupted.“ You are out of your mind, Paul!” he shouted.“ Your great learning is driving you crazy!”“ I am not crazy, most excellent Festus,” Paul replied.“ What I am saying is true and reasonable.

A group of Epicurean and Stoic thinkers began to argue with him. Some of them asked,“ What is this fellow chattering about?” Others said,“ He seems to be telling us about gods we’ve never heard of.” They said this because Paul was preaching the good news about Jesus. He was telling them that Jesus had risen from the dead.

Instead, they argued with him about their own beliefs. They didn’t agree about a man named Jesus. They said Jesus was dead, but Paul claimed Jesus was alive.

Many of them said,“ He is controlled by a demon. He has gone crazy! Why should we listen to him?”
