- 1 Corinthians 2:13 Expressing spiritual things in spiritual words: another possible translation is: “expressing spiritual realities to spiritual people.”
- 1 Corinthians 2:15 Unspiritual person . . . spiritual person: an unspiritual person is one who follows mere natural human instincts (see Rom 8:9; Jude 19); a spiritual person is one who follows the Spirit of God. The former lives according to the “natural” order and the latter according to the “supernatural” order.
