1 Coríntios 3

Johnson note that "An important word change must be noted. Carnal here is not sarkinos, but sarkikos, which means, literally, characterized by the flesh, being the equivalent of after the flesh (cf. Rom 8:4). Back of it is the thought of willfulness, and Paul does attach blame to those in this condition. Weakness prolonged becomes willfulness. Refusal to respond to the milk of the Word prevents reception of the meat of the Word." (Borrow Wycliffe Bible Commentary) For (gar) - term of explanation. Paul explains how he is able to determine that these saints are still immature spiritually, still fleshly. He has already stated that they were like spiritual infants, like men without the Spirit (even though they had the Spirit). Now he will give specific manifestations that are a reflection of their fleshly mindsets.
