Concise Bible Dictionary
:
This
word occurs
often
in
the
New
Testament
. It stands in contrast to
what
is earthly (
Rom. 15:27
27
It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things. (Romans 15:27)
); and to what is
carnal
, or of the
flesh
(
1 Cor. 3:1
1
And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. (1 Corinthians 3:1)
). In short it may be said to be that which is of
the
Holy
Spirit
, in contrast to what is of the
natural
man
.
