'People' in the Bible

And we speak about these things, not with words taught us by human wisdom, but with those taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual things to spiritual people.

So, brothers and sisters, I could not speak to you as spiritual people, but instead as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ.

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

For, I think, God has exhibited us apostles last of all, as men condemned to die, because we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to people.

when people lie about us, we answer in a friendly manner. We are the world's dirt and scum, even now.

But I will come to you soon, if the Lord is willing, and I will find out not only the talk of these arrogant people, but also their power.

I wrote you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people.

In no way did I mean the immoral people of this world, or the greedy and swindlers and idolaters, since you would then have to go out of the world.

With regard to the question about people who have never married, I have no command from the Lord, but I give my opinion as one shown mercy by the Lord to be trustworthy.

For since I am free from all I can make myself a slave to all, in order to gain even more people.

To the weak I became weak in order to gain the weak. I have become all things to all people, so that by all means I may save some.

So do not be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play."

I am speaking to thoughtful people. Consider what I say.

Look at the people of Israel. Are not those who eat the sacrifices partners in the altar?

For the one speaking in a tongue does not speak to people but to God, for no one understands; he is speaking mysteries by the Spirit.

But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouragement, and consolation.

It is written in the law: "By people with strange tongues and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people, yet not even in this way will they listen to me," says the Lord.

So if the whole church comes together and all speak in tongues, and unbelievers or uninformed people enter, will they not say that you have lost your minds?

All flesh is not the same: People have one flesh, animals have another, birds and fish another.

also to submit to people like this, and to everyone who cooperates in the work and labors hard.

For they refreshed my spirit and yours. So then, recognize people like this.
