The person who has the Spirit can judge all things. But no human being can judge those who have the Spirit. It is written,

属灵的人能看透万事，却没有一人能看透了他。

属灵的人能看透万事，却没有一人能看透他。

属灵的人能看透万事，却没有一人能看透他。

属灵的人能够参透万事，但没有人能参透他。

属灵的人能看透万事，却没有人能看透他，

属灵的人能洞察一切，但是没有人能洞察他。

屬靈的人能看透萬事，卻沒有一人能看透了他。

屬靈的人能看透萬事，卻沒有一人能看透他。

屬靈的人能看透萬事，卻沒有一人能看透他。

屬靈的人能夠參透萬事，但沒有人能參透他。

屬靈的人能看透萬事，卻沒有人能看透他，

惟獨屬靈的人卻審察萬事，而自己倒不被甚麼人所審察。

屬靈的人能洞察一切，但是沒有人能洞察他。

惟屬靈之人、則擬萬事、而己不為人所擬、

惟感聖神之人、忖度萬理、自不被人忖度、

惟感於神者、原文作屬神者忖度萬事、自不被人忖度、經云、

惟超性之人能評騭萬事、而人則莫測其高深。

The person with the Spirit makes judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgments,

The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one.

Those who are spiritual can evaluate all things, but they themselves cannot be evaluated by others.

The spiritual person, however, can evaluate everything, and yet he himself cannot be evaluated by anyone.

But the one who is spiritual discerns all things, yet he himself is discerned by no one.

But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.

But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, and he himself is judged of no man.

The spiritual person, however, can evaluate everything, yet he himself cannot be evaluated by anyone.

But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

The one who is spiritual discerns all things, yet he himself is understood by no one.

But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is judged by no one.

Sinful people don’t understand what is right. But those who worship the Lord understand it completely.

But test all prophecies. Hold on to what is good.

Dear friends, do not believe every spirit. Test the spirits to see if they belong to God. Many false prophets have gone out into the world.

Solid food is for those who are grown up. They have trained themselves to tell the difference between good and evil. That shows they have grown up.

Suppose anyone thinks they are a prophet. Or suppose they think they have other gifts given by the Holy Spirit. They should agree that what I am writing to you is the Lord’s command.

Brothers and sisters, what if someone is caught in a sin? Then you who live by the Spirit should correct that person. Do it in a gentle way. But be careful. You could be tempted too.

Brothers and sisters, I couldn’t speak to you as people who live by the Holy Spirit. I had to speak to you as people who were still following the ways of the world. You aren’t growing as Christ wants you to. You are still like babies.

David begged God to heal the child. David didn’t eat anything. He spent his nights lying on the ground. He put on the rough clothes people wear when they’re sad.His most trusted servants stood beside him. They wanted him to get up from the ground. But he refused to do it. And he wouldn’t eat any food with them.On the seventh day the child died. David’s attendants were afraid to tell him the child was dead. They thought,“ While the child was still alive, we spoke to David. But he wouldn’t listen to us. So how can we now tell him the child is dead? He might do something terrible to himself.”David saw that his attendants were whispering to one another. Then he realized the child was dead.“ Has the child died?” he asked.“ Yes,” they replied.“ He’s dead.”Then David got up from the ground. After he washed himself, he put on lotions. He changed his clothes. He went into the house of the Lord and worshiped him. Then he went to his own house. He asked for some food. They served it to him. And he ate it.His attendants asked him,“ Why are you acting like this? While the child was still alive, you wouldn’t eat anything. You cried a lot. But now that the child is dead, you get up and eat!”He answered,“ While the child was still alive, I didn’t eat anything. And I cried a lot. I thought,‘ Who knows? The Lord might have mercy on me. He might let the child live.’But now he’s dead. So why should I continue to go without food? Can I bring him back to life again? Someday I’ll go to him. But he won’t return to me.”

So give me a heart that understands. Then I can rule over your people. I can tell the difference between what is right and what is wrong. Who can possibly rule over this great nation of yours?”The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for that.So God said to him,“ You have not asked to live for a long time. You have not asked to be wealthy. You have not even asked to have your enemies killed. Instead, you have asked for wisdom. You want to do what is right and fair when you judge people. Because that is what you have asked for,

The Lord shares his plans with those who have respect for him. He makes his covenant known to them.

So don’t judge anything before the appointed time. Wait until the Lord returns. He will bring to light what is hidden in the dark. He will show the real reasons why people do what they do. At that time each person will receive their praise from God.

“ So now I’m saying,‘ May what you have told me prevent that man from doing what he wants. You are like an angel of God. You know what is good and what is evil. May the Lord your God be with you.’ ”

Here is how someone can find out whether my teaching comes from God or from me. That person must choose to do what God wants them to do.

No one who obeys his command will be harmed. Those who are wise will know the proper time and way to approach him.

That’s why we have not stopped praying for you. We have been praying for you since the day we heard about you. We keep asking God to fill you with the knowledge of what he wants. We pray he will give you the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives.

Titus was with me. He was a Greek. But even he was not forced to be circumcised.This matter came up because some people had slipped in among us. They had pretended to be believers. They wanted to find out about the freedom we have because we belong to Christ Jesus. They wanted to make us slaves again.We didn’t give in to them for a moment. We did this so that the truth of the good news would be kept safe for you.

That will continue until we all become one in the faith. We will also become one in the knowledge of God’s Son. Then we will be grown up in the faith. We will receive everything that Christ has for us.We will no longer be babies in the faith. We won’t be like ships tossed around by the waves. We won’t be blown here and there by every new teaching. We won’t be blown around by cleverness and tricks. Certain people use them to hide their evil plans.

Paul wanted to take him along on the journey. So he circumcised Timothy because of the Jews who lived in that area. They all knew that Timothy’s father was a Greek.

Certain people came down from Judea to Antioch. Here is what they were teaching the believers.“ Moses commanded you to be circumcised,” they said.“ If you aren’t, you can’t be saved.”But Paul and Barnabas didn’t agree with this. They argued strongly with them. So Paul and Barnabas were appointed to go up to Jerusalem. Some other believers were chosen to go with them. They were told to ask the apostles and elders about this question.The church sent them on their way. They traveled through Phoenicia and Samaria. There they told how the Gentiles had turned to God. This news made all the believers very glad.When they arrived in Jerusalem, the church welcomed them. The apostles and elders welcomed them too. Then Paul and Barnabas reported everything God had done through them.Some of the believers were Pharisees. They stood up and said,“ The Gentiles must be circumcised. They must obey the law of Moses.”

Then you will be able to know what is best. Then you will be pure and without blame for the day that Christ returns.
