Strong's Lexicon pneumatikos: Spiritual Original Word: πνευματικός Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: pneumatikos Pronunciation: pnyoo-mat-ee-kos' Phonetic Spelling: (pnyoo-mat-ik-os') Definition: Spiritual Meaning: spiritual. Word Origin: Derived from πνεῦμα (pneuma), meaning "spirit" or "breath." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "pneumatikos," the concept is related to the Hebrew word רוּחַ (ruach), Strong's Hebrew 7307, which means "spirit" or "breath." Usage: The term "pneumatikos" is used in the New Testament to describe that which pertains to the spirit or is influenced by the Holy Spirit. It often contrasts with the physical or natural (sarkikos) and emphasizes the divine or supernatural aspect of life and existence. It can refer to spiritual gifts, spiritual wisdom, or the spiritual nature of a person or thing. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of the spirit (pneuma) was often associated with life force or breath, a notion that carried over into early Christian thought. The early Christians, influenced by Jewish and Hellenistic ideas, understood the spiritual realm as the domain of God and His activities. The term "pneumatikos" thus became central in describing the life led by the Holy Spirit, distinguishing it from the secular or carnal life.
