In other words, Paul has behaved not in line with the “wisdom” that reflects the point of view of sinful human nature, but in line with God’s grace. Similarly, in 1Corinthians 3:3 Paul tells the Corinthians that they are acting in ways that are characteristic of people without the Spirit-of people who, precisely because they do not have the Spirit, have nothing to fall back on but their own sinful human nature, their “fleshly” nature. They are acting like pagans.
- D.A. Carson, The Cross and Christian Ministry, 73.
