Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for πνευματικός, the concept of spirituality and the influence of the Spirit can be related to Hebrew terms such as רוּחַ (ruach, Strong's Hebrew 7307), which means "spirit" or "breath," often used to describe the Spirit of God in the Old Testament. Usage: The term πνευματικός is used in the New Testament to describe that which is related to or influenced by the Holy Spirit. It often contrasts with that which is natural or carnal, emphasizing a higher, divine nature or origin. Context: The Greek adjective πνευματικός appears in various contexts within the New Testament, primarily in the Pauline epistles. It is used to describe people, gifts, and matters that are influenced or governed by the Holy Spirit. The term underscores the distinction between the spiritual realm and the physical or natural realm. In 1 Corinthians 2:14-15, Paul contrasts the "natural man" with the "spiritual man," indicating that the latter is able to discern and understand spiritual truths because they are spiritually appraised: "The natural man does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. They are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual man judges all things, but he himself is not subject to anyone’s judgment." In 1 Corinthians 12:1, Paul introduces the discussion of spiritual gifts with the phrase, "Now about spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be uninformed." Here, πνευματικός refers to the gifts given by the Holy Spirit for the edification of the church. The term is also used in Ephesians 6:12 to describe the nature of the Christian's struggle: "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world’s darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." In Galatians 6:1, Paul advises those who are "spiritual" to restore a person caught in sin with a spirit of gentleness, indicating that those who are led by the Spirit should act in accordance with the Spirit's character. The use of πνευματικός throughout the New Testament highlights the transformative work of the Holy Spirit in believers, calling them to live according to the Spirit's guidance and power, in contrast to the desires of the flesh.
