At bible study the other day, we had an interesting conversation about 1 Cor 2:15. It reads:

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

Of course a lot of the guys where concerned with this passage, as it seems to contradict the many places in the bible that tell us not to judge.

I am no greek Scholar, but now I can pretend these days by looking at zhubert.com

I think it does aide understanding quite a bit to be able to identify the word that is used, ἀνακρίνει Then click on it and see where that same greek is used elsewhere, and how it was translated. In this case, the ESV almost always translates the word with Examine or a variant of that word.

I think that this mean that the Spiritual person has the capability to understand and comprehend the secular world and the spiritual world, but the secular world cannot really understand the spiritiual world without the aide of the Holy Spirit.
