ISBE 1915

From the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia (1915). Where it reports or adopts critical theories, those are the views of its writers or the scholars they cite; Gospel Companion holds the historic Christian view of Scripture.

(ho pneumatikos): In distinction from the natural, the unrenewed man (1Co 2:15); man in whom the Holy Spirit dwells and rules. This divine indwelling insures mental illumination: "He that is spiritual discerneth (AVm) (or interpreteth) all things"; moral renewal: "a new creature" (2Co 5:17); "a new man" (Eph 4:24); spiritual enduement: "Ye shall receive power" (Ac 1:8).

See SPIRITUAL, 2; SPIRITUALITY; MAN.
