1 Korintus 2:14

2:14 The unbeliever ¹  does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him. And he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Yakobus 3:15

3:15 Such ²  wisdom does not come ³  from above but is earthly, natural, ⁴  demonic.

[2:14]  ¹ tn Grk “natural person.” Cf. BDAG 1100 s.v. ψυχικός a, “an unspiritual pers., one who merely functions bodily, without being touched by the Spirit of God.”

[3:15]  ² tn Grk “This.”

[3:15]  ³ tn Grk “come down”; “descend.”

[3:15]  ⁴ tn Grk “soulish,” which describes life apart from God, characteristic of earthly human life as opposed to what is spiritual. Cf. 1 Cor 2:14; 15:44-46; Jude 19.
