Exegesis
The articular adjective to pneumatikon {τὸ πνευματικὸν | tò pneu-ma-ti-kón} functions substantivally to denote the “spiritual” mode of existence, which is then contrasted by the adversative alla {ἀλλὰ | allà} and the articular substantive to psuchikon {τὸ ψυχικόν | tò psu-chi-kón}, representing the “natural” state tied to the soul.
In context — 1 Corinthians 15:46
Yet it is not the spiritual first, but the natural ; then the spiritual comes.
