{"author":null,"backreferences":[{"context_html":"<p>In enunciating this proposition of ours, then, that because\r\nsome live according to the flesh and others according to the\r\nspirit there have arisen two diverse and conflicting cities,\r\nwe might equally well have said, \"because some live according\r\nto man, others according to God.\" For Paul says very\r\nplainly to the Corinthians, \"For whereas there is among you\r\nenvying and strife, are ye not carnal, and walk according to\r\nman?\"<a id=\"FNanchor_17_17\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_17_17\">[17]</a> So that to walk according to man and to be carnal\r\nare the same; for by <i>flesh</i>, that is, by a part of man, man\r\nis meant. For before he said that those same persons were\r\nanimal whom afterwards he calls carnal, saying, \"For what\r\nman knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man\r\nwhich is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no\r\nman, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received not the\r\nspirit of this world, but the Spirit which is of God; that we\r\nmight know the things which are freely given to us of God.\r\nWhich things also we speak, not in the words which man's\r\nwisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing\r\nspiritual things with spiritual. But the animal man\r\nperceiveth not the things of the Spirit of God; for they are\r\nfoolishness unto him.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_18_18\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_18_18\">[18]</a> It is to men of this kind, then, that\r\nis, to animal men, he shortly after says, \"And I, brethren, could\r\nnot speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_19_19\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_19_19\">[19]</a>\r\nAnd this is to be interpreted by the same usage, a part being\r\ntaken for the whole. For both the soul and the flesh, the\r\ncomponent parts of man, can be used to signify the whole\r\nman; and so the animal man and the carnal man are not two\r\ndifferent things, but one and the same thing, viz. man living\r\naccording to man. In the same way it is nothing else than\r\nmen that are meant either in the words, \"By the deeds of\r\nthe law there shall no <i>flesh</i> be justified;\"<a id=\"FNanchor_20_20\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_20_20\">[20]</a> or in the words,\r\n\"Seventy-five <i>souls</i> went down into Egypt with Jacob.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_21_21\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_21_21\">[21]</a> In\r\nthe one passage, \"no flesh\" signifies \"no man;\" and in the<span class=\"pagenum\"><a id=\"Page_8\">[Pg 8]</a></span>\r\nother, by \"seventy-five souls\" seventy-five men are meant.\r\nAnd the expression, \"not in words which man's wisdom\r\nteacheth,\" might equally be \"not in words which fleshly\r\nwisdom teacheth;\" and the expression, \"ye walk according to\r\nman,\" might be \"according to the flesh.\" And this is still\r\nmore apparent in the words which followed: \"For while one\r\nsaith, I am of Paul, and another, I am of Apollos, are ye not\r\nmen?\" The same thing which he had before expressed by\r\n\"ye are animal,\" \"ye are carnal,\" he now expresses by \"ye\r\nare men;\" that is, ye live according to man, not according to\r\nGod, for if you lived according to Him, you should be gods.</p>","headings":["THE CITY OF GOD.","BOOK FOURTEENTH.[1]","ARGUMENT."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg45305-paragraph-29"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"99cb3413df311319f905ca039682f77f16693e5937393d88b1559ab72c7e37b3","edition_title":"The City of God, Volume II","edition_translators":["Marcus Dods","George Wilson (Books XVII-XVIII)"],"edition_year":1871,"explicit_reference_candidates":[{"book":"GEN","chapter":46,"kind":"unreviewed","source_notation":"Gen. xlvi. 27","verse":27,"verse_end":27}],"headings":[],"id":"pg45305-Footnote_21_21","license_url":"https://www.gutenberg.org/policy/license.html","public_import_allowed":false,"record_kind":"original-editor-translator-note","review_required":["work and recension attribution","original-work chronology","Bible reference numbering and citation kind","English edition rights and attribution"],"review_status":"needs_review","rights_evidence":"Provider catalog reports public domain in the USA.
