James 1:22-25, Jamesputs it this way,

“Do not merely listento the word, and so

deceive yourselves. Dowhat it says.

Anyone who listens to theword but does not do

what it says is like a manwho looks at his face in amirror and, after looking

at himself, goes away andimmediately forgets what

“Sanctify them by the truth; your word is

truth.” John 17:17

We have not received the spiritof the world but the Spirit who

is from God, that we mayunderstand what God has freelygiven us. This is what we speak,

not in words taught us byhuman wisdom but in words

taught by the Spirit, expressingspiritual truths in spiritual

words.

The man without the Spirit doesnot accept the things that come

from the Spirit of God, for they arefoolishness to him, and he cannot

understand them, because they arespiritually discerned. The spiritualman makes judgments about all

things, but he himself is notsubject to any man’s judgment…

we have the mind of Christ.” I Cor. 2:12-16
