Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent, the concept of "spiritual" in the Old Testament is often related to the Hebrew word רוּחַ (ruach), meaning "spirit" or "wind."

Usage: The term "pneumatikós" is used in the New Testament to describe that which pertains to the spirit or is influenced by the Holy Spirit. It often contrasts with the physical or natural, emphasizing a realm or quality that is aligned with God's Spirit. It can refer to spiritual gifts, spiritual wisdom, or spiritual maturity.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of the spirit (pneuma) was often associated with life force or breath. In the Jewish and early Christian context, it took on a more profound theological significance, referring to the divine presence and activity of God. The early Christians, influenced by both Jewish thought and the teachings of Jesus, understood the spiritual life as one led by the Holy Spirit, distinct from the fleshly or worldly life.
