    DefinitionShort: (derivative of {L:πνεῦμα}[a] ‘Spirit,’ {D:12.18}) pertaining to being derived from or being about the Spirit
    Glosses: ['spiritual', 'from the Spirit (in reference to such matters as gifts', 'benefits', 'teachings', 'blessings', 'and religious songs)']
    Comments: The reference in {S:04600201400040} may be interpreted to mean that the unspiritual person cannot receive the gifts of the Spirit; neither can such a person understand them because they can only be judged or evaluated on the basis of their being derived from the Spirit of God. For another interpretation of πνευματικῶς in {S:04600201400040}, see {D:26.10}.

    DefinitionShort: pertaining to expressions which are not to be understood literally, but symbolically or figuratively
    Glosses: ['symbolically', 'allegorically', 'figuratively', 'so to speak']
    Comments: In a number of languages it may be more satisfactory to translate ἐν παραβολῇ and πνευματικῶς[c] by a negative expression, for example, ‘not literally’ or ‘not really.’ The expression in {S:06601100800028} might be translated as ‘that city might be called Sodom, but it isn’t really Sodom.’
