without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful;

for if God didn't spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.

For if you were cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more will these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

Now the natural man doesn't receive the things of God's Spirit, for they are foolishness to him, and he can't know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is also a spiritual body.

without natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good,

For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror;

But these, as unreasoning creatures, born natural animals to be taken and destroyed, speaking evil in matters about which they are ignorant, will in their destroying surely be destroyed,
