1 Corinthians 3:3

for you are still influenced by the flesh. ¹  For since there is still jealousy and dissension among you, are you not influenced by the flesh and behaving like unregenerate people? ² 

Ho 6:7; Mr 7:21,22; 1Co 1:11; 1Co 6:1-8; 1Co 11:18; 2Co 12:20; Ga 5:15,19-21; Eph 2:2,3; Eph 4:22-24; Tit 3:3; Jas 3:16; Jas 4:1,2; 1Pe 4:2

¹ tn Or “are still merely human”; Grk “fleshly.” Cf. BDAG 914 s.v. σαρκικός 2, “pert. to being human at a disappointing level of behavior or characteristics, (merely) human.” The same phrase occurs again later in this verse.

² tn Grk “and walking in accordance with man,” i.e., living like (fallen) humanity without the Spirit’s influence; hence, “unregenerate people.”
