It is used to describe human concerns, desires, and wisdom that are limited to the temporal and material aspects of life. Biblical Usage and Context 1. Earthly Wisdom vs. Heavenly Wisdom: In the New Testament, the Apostle James contrasts earthly wisdom with heavenly wisdom. Earthly wisdom is characterized by envy, selfish ambition, and disorder. <a href="/james/3-15.htm">James 3:15-16</a> states, "Such wisdom does not come from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every evil practice." This passage highlights the flawed nature of wisdom that is not rooted in God. 2. Earthly Desires and Passions: The Bible often warns against succumbing to earthly desires, which can lead individuals away from a godly life. In <a href="/colossians/3-5.htm">Colossians 3:5</a> , believers are instructed to "Put to death, therefore, the components of your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires, and greed, which is idolatry." This verse emphasizes the need to overcome earthly temptations in pursuit of spiritual growth. 3. Earthly Bodies and Resurrection: The Apostle Paul discusses the concept of earthly bodies in contrast to spiritual bodies in the context of resurrection. In <a href="/1_corinthians/15-40.htm">1 Corinthians 15:40</a> , he writes, "There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But the splendor of the heavenly bodies is of one degree, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is of another." This distinction underscores the temporary nature of our physical existence compared to the eternal nature of the spiritual. 4. Earthly Kingdoms vs. God's Kingdom: Earthly kingdoms are often depicted as transient and flawed, in contrast to the eternal and perfect Kingdom of God. Jesus, when questioned by Pilate, clarifies the nature of His kingdom in <a href="/john/18-36.htm">John 18:36</a> : "Jesus answered, 'My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight to prevent My arrest by the Jews. But now My kingdom is not of this realm.'" This statement highlights the distinction between earthly political power and divine authority. 5. Earthly Riches and Treasures: The Bible frequently warns against the pursuit of earthly riches at the expense of spiritual wealth. In <a href="/matthew/6-19.htm">Matthew 6:19-20</a> , Jesus advises, "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal." This teaching encourages believers to prioritize eternal values over material possessions. Theological Implications The concept of "earthly" in the Bible serves as a reminder of the limitations and imperfections of the physical world. It calls believers to focus on spiritual growth and to seek wisdom and treasures that align with God's eternal purposes. The contrast between earthly and heavenly realms underscores the Christian belief in the transient nature of life on earth and the hope of eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

The word epigeios is not found in Septuagint, but occurs in classical Greek from Plato down. In Plutarch Mor. 566 D, it occurs in the remarkable phrase, "that which is earthly of the soul." Its meaning is primarily merely local ("being on the earth"). The word ge ("earth") has not in itself an ethical significance, and does not carry a suggestion of moral taint, such as the word kosmos ("world") has, especially in the Johannine writings, and sarx ("flesh"), especially in Paul. It does, however, suggest a certain limitation or frailty; and in some passages, the context gives the adjective epigeios an ethical color, though in the New Testament the purely local meaning is never lost sight of. It is translated "earthly" in the following passages: (1) <a href="/john/3-12.htm">John 3:12</a>, "if I told you earthly things," i.e. things which are realized on earth, things within the circle of human observation, truths of subjective experience (eg. the new birth); in contrast to "heavenly things," the objective truths which, as not directly realizable in human experience, must be revealed from above (the mysteries of the Divine purpose and plans). Clearly "earthly" here implies no moral contrast to the heavenly or spiritual. (2) <a href="/2_corinthians/5-1.htm">2 Corinthians 5:1</a>, "the earthly house of our tabernacle," i.e. the body with which we are clothed on earth, in contrast to the spiritual resurrection-body, "which is from heaven" (verse 2). Here again the word has a merely local, not an ethical, significance. (3) <a href="/philippians/3-19.htm">Philippians 3:19</a>, "whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things," i.e. whose thoughts rest on earth, on the pleasures of life here below. (4) <a href="/james/3-15.htm">James 3:15</a>, "This wisdom is not a wisdom that cometh down from above, but is earthly," i.e. it is on the plane of life on earth, merely human, incapable of ascending to the level of Divine wisdom. In the last two passages, the literal local meaning is still evident, but the word shades off into the moral and suggests that which is opposed to the spiritual in character. The same word is translated "terrestrial" in <a href="/1_corinthians/15-40.htm">1 Corinthians 15:40</a>, and "things in (the Revised Version (British and American) "on") earth" in <a href="/philippians/2-10.htm">Philippians 2:10</a> the King James Version has "earthly" in <a href="/john/3-31.htm">John 3:31</a>, where it translates ek tes ges = literally, "out of the earth," the reference being to the character and mission of the Baptist as partaking of the limitations of his earthly (human) origin, in contrast to the Messiah "that cometh from heaven." The the King James Version rendering is somewhat misleading, for it introduces a confusion with the "earthly" of <a href="/john/3-12.htm">John 3:12</a> (see Westcott in the place cited.). The Revised Version (British and American) rightly renders "of the earth." "Earthly" is to be distinguished from "earthy" = made of earth or clay (choikos, from chous, "earth dug out," <a href="/1_corinthians/15-47.htm">1 Corinthians 15:47</a>). D.
