<p>3:3 <i>For you are still carnal. For whereas there is among you jealousy and strife, are you not carnal and do you not walk after the manner of men?- </i>Paul can confidently conclude that they are not Spiritual, and therefore still carnal, because there is no evidence of the fruits of the Spirit. Jealousy, strife and division are the works of the flesh and advertise a lack of the Spirit within (Gal. 5:20).We are not to judge others in the sense of condemning them; butlike Paul here, we canquite simply observe whether someone has the Spirit by whether they manifest the fruits of the Spirit.We may find that those who differ from us in some areas of Biblical interpretation clearly have the Spirit; and others who share our theology may be Spirit-less. Note that <i>&quot;</i>strife&quot; here translates<i> eris</i>, from whence 'heresy'. The real heresy is division between believers; and yet it is the fear of heresy which so often creates divisions.Paul could have chosen various indicators of the lack of the Spirit amongst the Corinthians; but he chooses the strife and division amongst them as the clearest example of it on a group level. For the joint possession of the Spirit creates unity- the unity of the Spirit. Where this is lacking on a collective level, it is clear that generally, as a community, the Spirit is lacking. This is not to say there were not individuals in Corinth who had the Spirit. But the reasoning here is forceful- any divided church, denomination or community is evidence that on a general, collective level, they are carnal and not Spirit filled.</p>
