Commentary on 2 Corinthians 2:15

Theological / Devotional

He that is spiritual. That is, the regenerate man, one who is enlightened by the Holy Spirit, in contrast with the one not thus enlightened. Judgeth. Gr. anakrino, the word that is translated “discerned” in v. 14 (see comment there). Anakrino conveys the idea that the spiritual man examines, sifts, and carefully judges matters that come to his attention. Guided by the Divine Spirit, he consequently draws proper conclusions. Judged of no man. Men may attempt to do so, but no worldly-minded or “natural” (v. 14) man can understand the principles, feelings, opinions, joys, and hopes of the spiritual man, because the unregenerate heart is not able to appreciate the things that come from the Spirit of God.
