1 Corinthians 2:14-16

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 person with the Spirit makes judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgments, for, “Who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.


 
From Background Notes [BN] for May 25th & 26th written by Pastor Bob Brown:

The shared… is that when the Spirit has profound influence on people they become especially discerning of what is true.  In 2:16 this becomes “we have the mind of Christ.” How so? The mind of Christ is the Spirit’s gift to the believers so that they might “discern” with clarity what God has spoken.  [BN, 8]
