Annotatio IV §.XXIII: Jn 6:63 + 1 Cor 2:13 — Spirit vivifies; words spirit and life; spiritual things with spiritual
We follow Christ’s own teaching (Jn 6:63): the spirit vivifies; the flesh profits nothing — and His warning that the words spoken here are Spirit and Life.
Under the Holy Spirit’s doctrine we discern these things spiritually and always set spiritual things with spiritual (1 Cor. 2:13).
Latin
Quia Nos (sed ab ipso Christo edocti, spiritum esse, qui vivificat, carnemque prodesse nihil, Jo. 6. 63.) etiam & verba, quæ hac in re prolata sunt, Spiritum esse & Vitam, Ipsi monenti credimus, proque conditione ipsâ Doctrinæ S. Spiritus, decernimus, spiritualiter ista discernenda esse, & Spiritualia cum Spiritualibus semper conferenda esse, 1. Cor. 2, 13.
