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

Immaturity and Jealousy Evidenced by a Party Spirit

1 And *I*, brethren, have not been able to speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly^D8230; as to babes in Christ.

Darby Bible Notes

fleshly - Sarkinos. as Rom. 7.14; Heb. 7.16; 2Cor. 3.3. This word is said to mean properly the material – the composition of a thing. 'Carnal,' twice in verse 3, is sarkinos, a form used, in some places, to express either material or physical or moral ideas. It occurs also in Rom. 15.27; 1Cor. 9.11; 2Cor. 1.12; 10.4; 1Pet. 2.11. This last passage, 'fleshly lusts,' shows how the material and moral thoughts run into one another.

KJV
