beholds his

face in a

earth
(

For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. (Romans 11:21)
24
For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree? (Romans 11:24)
).
φυσικός
, “that which belongs to nature” (
Rom. 1:26-27
26
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. (Romans 1:26‑27)
;
2 Peter 2:12

life
,
soul
.” “The natural man [that is, a man characterized by the natural life of the soul, without the
teaching
and
power
of
the
Holy
Spirit
] receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God” (

Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. (1 Corinthians 15:44‑46)

46
Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. (1 Corinthians 15:46)

’s
flesh
: it is placed with “earthly” and “devilish” in
James 3:15
15
This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. (James 3:15)
; and is contrasted with having
the
