Spiritual Wisdom

However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.

These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.

all ate the same spiritual food,

and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.

Prophecy and Tongues

Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.

Even so you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, let it be for the edification of the church that you seek to excel.

If anyone thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things which I write to you are the commandments of the Lord.

It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual.
