Note:
The adjectives “fleshly,” “carnal” are contrasted with spiritual qualities in Rom.
7:14; 1 Cor. 3:1, 3, 4; 2 Cor. 1:12; Col. 2:18 (lit., “mind of flesh”). Speaking broadly, the
carnal denotes the sinful element in man’s nature, by reason of descent from Adam; the
spiritual is that which comes by the regenerating operation of the Holy Spirit.
